  1. Side hustle?

    Hey peeps! It's been a while, but as a 6 year NP, I'm looking into some side hustle gigs. I've been combing through the web for remote gigs, contract work, etc- anyone got anything good that pays well? I work 3 12-hr shifts and NEVER take work home, ...
  2. Urgent Care NP Compensation

    It depends on where you live. To start you should get an idea what a RN with similar years of experience is making, then go up from there. I am a FNP w/ 3 years experience and interviewed at an UC center in norther VA and they offered me $45/hr... um...
  3. Is there a market for tele-NPs?

    I would totally love to do this! I think this is the next wave of innovation in medicine and think there's a market for it- why have sick people leave their home? Doctors use to do home visits and while some are starting to do that again, I think tec...
  4. Hourly pay in Virginia

    My husband and I are likley moving to northern VA for a job opportunity for him. I can transfer the current jobs I have, but am wondering what the hourly pay is for a Family NP w/ 2+ years of experience working in a retail clinic? I'm asking for budg...
  5. Pregnant and asking pts to wear masks

    So I just entered my 2nd trimester of pregnancy and am feeling good. My biggest frustration is having to ask people to wear a mask if they're sick or have a rash b/c of course they don't see any need. I actually had a women tell me "you're being too ...
  6. Speakers for drug companies

    If you don't mind, how much is the compensation (you can PM me if you don't want to post it here). Also, do they give you any training to do the talks and do they make the slides? How do you handle any questions that may come up about the drug if you...
  7. Getting my life back

    I absolutely LOVE working for CVS. I'm not sure what websites say they don't approve vacation time, but that's not true, at least for the MC. Every day I've ever requested has been approved, except for 1 d/t another NP getting married and leaving too...
  8. In home assessments

    I'm starting this weekend w/ virtual (online) training, but as w/ any new job you get some nervous jitters until you're out on your own. I've already contacted another NP who works w/ the company (paired up by my manager) to do a mentor ride along be...
  9. Uber NPs?

    Strange it opened for me, but go to the nytimes.com site > health > well. You should be able to find "An Uber for Doctor Housecalls." Hopefully that works! :)
  10. Uber NPs?

    At work my day can vary from busy to slow, so on my slow days I take it upon myself to get up to date w/ what's going on in the medical community. I go to Medscape, the CDC, NYTimes Health page, and the Washington Post. Yesterday I stumbled upon this...
  11. That nagging feeling...

    Many times! I worked pediatrics and saved 3 kids because of it (I hate saying that too b/c I don't want the credit for it b/c it was my job). I use to be a clinical instructor and remember telling my students to listen to that gut feeling. It's alway...
  12. School Culture - can we shift it? maybe a little?

    When I did sub school nursing, I swear an announcement was made the day before b/c I would be so busy with kids. I subbed in various schools across my town and there was no difference b/w the elementary, middle, or high schoolers. After my first few...
  13. Recertification process

    I took AANP b/c it was more clinical-based vs ANCC which will have more pics and research-related questions. I don't mind pics, but not the research-related questions. Plus since I would be practicing I felt like it made more sense to study for the m...
  14. About paying off student loans

    You'll be happy to know you're not bailing me out b/c I can afford my payments. Good luck getting that fine print BTW. I did read mine, but as soon as I signed the dotted line, I got a "Change in loan terms." It's common practice, you should check in...
  15. About paying off student loans

    I was trying to reply to someone else who clearly has their head somewhere else... clearly they're not aware of what's going on.
