2. Self Employed

   nbtw posted a topic in NP

   Are there any self employed nurse practitioners out there? I'm a psych NP and thinking about working for myself. Does anyone else work for themselves? Any ideas on how to make this happen? What should I be aware of before taking this step? What ...

3. Collaborative Physician Issues

   nbtw replied to nbtw's topic in Advanced

   I'm not sure where you work. I work in CT and this credentialing process is for the largest, research, teaching hospital in the state. They're notorious for asking you for everything except the toilet paper you use. I know every hospital has diffe...

   Yes, an evaluation is precise. The agreement we both signed specifically states that this was one of her duties. I've spoken to her. She wants the medical director to complete the evaluation. This makes no sense. First, the medical director is no...

   nbtw replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Advanced

   Quote from InquisitiveAPN: You can find jobs that fund malpractice, licensing, and CEUs. I don't see any of that as a problem. I don't let patients leave my presence until I'm finished documenting. Why? Because by 10:00, I wouldn't have a clue what t...

7. New NP pay

   nbtw replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced

   I would say if you've been an hourly paid RN in the Northeast for more than 8 years then becoming an FNP will very likely be a paycut for you and actually more of a headache. Once you punch out as a bedside RN your work is done. As an FNP you may ve...

   nbtw replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Advanced

   I am an FNP. I won't recommend or bash the profession but I will tell you about my experience. I have only worked outpatient as an FNP. If you're outpatient you are scheduled anywhere from an 8-10 hour day. You are provided with an hour for lunch....

    nbtw posted a topic in Advanced

    I was motivated to start this post after I overheard a physician bragging to another physician about how they "bagged" a nurse practitioner for $76,000 a year. Here's some background information for you. I live in Connecticut. The physician in ques...

    nbtw posted a topic in Advanced

    I'm reaching out just for some guidance. I've tried to do some research on my own but have been unsuccessful. My former collaborative physician is refusing to complete credentialing paperwork related to my new job. I've never had any issues with th...
