4. Sacramento VA

   PeacockMaiden replied to PeacockMaiden's topic in Government

   They offered me grade 3 step 4. I ended up not taking the job because my current employer offered me $20 more per hour. I am sad that I can't have the VA benefits though.

   I was just offered a position at the Sacramento VA for a psych nurse practitioner. The salary quote was low. I tried to negotiate but they wouldn't budge. Does anyone work at the Mather location? Do you like it?

   What did you decide to do on the question of the salary? It sounds like a good salary to me. I just received a tentative offer as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, level 3 grade 4. (Relatively new nurse practitioner with only 2 years of experience as...

   PeacockMaiden replied to KansasFNP's topic in Doctoral

   I am very interested in the Mind-Body PhD at Saybrook. I am try to decide between that program and the DNP with the Integrative Health concentration at Regis. I want to be able to teach someday at a university, so while I like the looks of the curr...

8. All the degrees, no job

   PeacockMaiden replied to DNPFNP15's topic in Doctoral

   I agree with what many people are saying here and what I previously said here about the DNP program that I am currently in (which I will drop or take a leave of absence from after this semester is over). I really enjoyed my DNP classes and the cla...

9. All the degrees, no job

   PeacockMaiden replied to DNPFNP15's topic in Doctoral

   The focus was psychiatric nursing, and I am adding on the psych NP certification since I already have a MSN. I already completed the 3 P's classes in a AGNP program and those classes were not that rigorous, in my opinion. I never assumed the DNP wo...

10. All the degrees, no job

    PeacockMaiden replied to DNPFNP15's topic in Doctoral

    I have done two semesters of a DNP program, just long enough to learn it will not teach me advanced clinical skills and it is focused on research and policy, as the other posters above stated. So I am dropping the program. I love education, but I ha...

11. Advance Practice Preceptorships - Should students find their own preceptors?

    PeacockMaiden replied to husky171's topic in Advanced

    I like psychguy's posts too! I'm currently in an online NP program in a well known state program (the school is discussed on allnurses frequently). We have to find our own preceptors. The school provides a list of past sites, but it is largely outd...

    PeacockMaiden replied to DNPFNP15's topic in Doctoral

    The DNP is not a valued degree. I'm in a DNP program and I'm going to drop it because it doesn't make financial sense to continue at this point.

    PeacockMaiden replied to gb05's topic in Psychiatric

    Where do you find the ANCC test questions for purchase? I looked on the ANCC and didn't see anything. Also, where do we buy the ANCC study guide? I saw some study guides on the ANCC website, but how do I know which is the right manual to buy? It'...

15. Why is finding a preceptor so blahblah difficult!

    PeacockMaiden replied to A&OxNone's topic in NP Students

    I agree the the PA school stance. I wish I went to a brick and mortar school. There is one that is a two hour drive one way, but I would have done it if I had known what a nightmare this would be. However the post masters program is $32,000 per y...
