3. new NP cant find a job

   wildcatarnp replied to SheRN1's topic in NP

   I graduated a year ago with my FNP, and having a hard time finding a position. I had one job offer, but it was for interventional radiology. I declined it because they wanted me to work from 7am to 5:30pm for 5 days a week. When I asked how long l...

6. Am I really a NP if I do laser hair removal?

   wildcatarnp posted a topic in NP

   I hope the title is not misleading. Basically, I graduated a year ago and had started working (I am a FNP). Within a year, I left the job because of the horrible environment, and have been searching for a job for 6 months. I would interview for a...

7. Where are all those desperate new grads?

   wildcatarnp replied to BostonRN13's topic in NP

   I wish I had advice. I am in a similar position. I notice most positions want someone with 2 or more years experience. When seeking a position, I know I will need support initially. Coding was not covered in my program, and most of the preceptors d...

9. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

   wildcatarnp replied to hik9258's topic in NP

   Is it financially better to be on a salary? hourly? or percentage from revenue production (ie. 30% from revenue received from patient payment)? In nursing school, the third option was not discussed, but I have seen this offered.

10. New Master's NP, cannot find job...should I go for my DNP

    wildcatarnp replied to wildcatarnp's topic in Doctoral

    First, I want to say thank you for those who have been helpful in their posting. I have been trying to avoid posting my complete backstory as I prefer not to have current employer seeing it. As we are learning, what you post on the internet can har...

    wildcatarnp replied to Joebinks's topic in Advanced

    Do not drop out!!! Being a CRNA does not always mean the OR! My sister in law just finished her CRNA and is working in an outpatient setting and loves it! She was an ER herself!

    Hello! I graduated this past year with my MSN in FNP. However, I am finding it difficult to find a position for a new graduate like myself. I am now thinking maybe I should go ahead and continue on for a DNP. Do you recommend this course or should ...

14. Derm NP to Psych NP?

    wildcatarnp replied to wildcatarnp's topic in NP

    I completely understand that OJT for psych is not going to cut it. I would need to receive a post-master's certificate. Dermatology positions are rare and the community is small. I did receive some training, but I need more.

15. Derm NP to Psych NP?

    wildcatarnp posted a topic in NP

    I graduated this past year and was blessed to find a derm office willing to train me. The problem is that now, I am not being trained and the physician and I have personality conflicts. A friend of mine who works as a psych NP has offered to train ...
