4. Unhappy as new NP

   ICU2NP replied to PinkTulips13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I agree with Dodongo... go outpatient and work in a specialty clinic. I think they get longer appointment times than in primary care, also. While I was applying for jobs I saw pulmonology clinics...

5. Stressed as a nurse practitioner resident

   ICU2NP replied to nurse7502's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I think derm is pretty fast-paced also. An NP I am working with now did derm for awhile, and she said it was patients every 10-15 minutes. So she took a 50K pay cut to leave because it was too much....

6. Need Honest Answers

   ICU2NP replied to ccuRN24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

10. NPs: What Clinical Rotations Did You LEARN the MOST?

    ICU2NP replied to the VEGAN Professor's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you a primary care focused cohort? That’s probably why they are discouraging inpatient rotations? We weren’t really supposed to do inpatient rotations either, as we are primary care (AGNP)....
