   Well sweetie, i wish you worked with me, I would be really nice to you. This story reminds me a bit of my own story when I started as a new, young, pretty RN 16 years ago. There is the old saying that "nurses eat their young". Unfortunately, some nur...

2. Torn between FNP or PHMNP

   chellepnp2007 replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in NP

   I agree, the need for mental health np's is greater right now, and so the salary ranges are higher. You can not function in a mental health role as an FNP, at least not in Texas. I am a PNP and have been approached by a child psychiatrist who needs h...

3. Considering Entry-MSN/FNP Program - Questions about FNP career

   chellepnp2007 replied to Juliet417's topic in NP

   You can expect to top out higher in your salary if you work in an ER setting with longer and irregular shifts. If you work for a cardiologist, neurologist, etc. it can go even higher. 120+++ with years of experience. FNP is a great way to go. Much mo...

7. Time to graduate from a part time NP program

   chellepnp2007 replied to core0's topic in NP

   I just completed a "part time" PNP program in Texas. I can tell you it was exactly 33 months long. I still find it hilarious that it is called "part time" since I spent every waking moment working on some type of research paper or studying my brains ...

8. FNP or WHNP?

   chellepnp2007 replied to kirish34's topic in NP

   I would just like to say that an FNP can pretty much do anything a WHNP can do. I live in TExas, and I know a lady who has her Whnp for 2 years, works in the largest OB?GYN office in our area, and still is not working as a WHNP, she is still staff RN...

9. Getting someone to pay for grad school

   chellepnp2007 replied to floridagirl8's topic in NP

   Hey floridagirl, You are smart to seek help with payment. The best thing I could suggest would be to work for some large hospital system and do the tuition reimbursement, or of course the military will gladly pay your way and not even have you work d...
