[Tara MV]

Hi! I am a new np graduate with 10 years RN experience in acute home care.Got an offer as wound Np to consult patients in nursing homes.I will be on 1099 and will get paid monthly per patient 25$ for initial/follow up,42$ visit+debridement .Don't want to sound greedy,but isn't it too low? Please,share your opinion.

I am so confused why some NPs or RNs so discouraging. Hey, if you want money, you could jump into the stock market, I did since April, made $110,000 for the last 2 month, well, it absolutely stressful for some people, it is all about how you take it, especially when you see you are losing 5K second by second. Come on people, if you are not happy being an NP or doesn't want to be an NP, it is your own case, not everyone else's.
