  1. NP's how are you these days?

    ICU2NP replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work in LTC/TCU/AL settings. We have moved to mostly tele-health visits via the previously mentioned Doxy app- but it has been slow so we are also using FaceTime. Tele-health restrictions have...

  2. Stressed as a nurse practitioner resident

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

    Yes I work for a private company that is local to where I live, they contract with the facilities (I do not work for the facilities). Many of the larger hospitals also have contracts with them. I...

  3. I am looking for another NP job. How do I ask about the financial health of organizations?

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

    Wow how awful!!! You will find something great, I'm sure ? Good luck and keep us

  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

    I would shadow some NPs in both settings before making any decisions. I am an old ICU nurse, was there for 13 years. If you don't want crappy hours and weekends, don't do ACNP. Most jobs I saw for...

  7. Jobs other than in an office?

    ICU2NP replied to etoile88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not familiar with pediatrics, but is there some type of home care you can do in peds as an NP? I am working in different nursing facilities (LTC, TCU, assisted living) and somewhat making your...

  8. Best Place to Find NP Jobs Available?

    ICU2NP replied to OncRN2015's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had good luck with Glassdoor and

  9. What are the low stress nurse practitioner jobs

    ICU2NP replied to Azureshunter's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Could you expand on why? I'm not seeing anything written that discusses potential harm to

  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)....

  11. Preparing for the First Semester of NP School

    ICU2NP replied to Kayla18's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I spent the summer doing every activity possible with my kids, drank a lot of wine, and slept in Then I went casual at work (best idea ever), and figured out ahead of time when would be the best...

  12. AGNP'S please respond here!

    ICU2NP replied to nurseTdawg1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not officially an AGNP yet (graduate May 11) but I'll answer anyways... 1) I just signed a contract with a company that goes into various SNF, TCU, and assisted living facilities. 2) My area is...

  13. Would you take this job as a new gad?

    ICU2NP replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know if that is typical of NP residencies, but no guarantee of a position afterwards? I don't know if I'd like that. I guess it depends on how saturated the market is with NPs in your area....

  14. Considering living off student loans my final semester (or two) - Advice??

    ICU2NP replied to anchorRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would, and we have been using part of the student loans for some living expenses so that I could go casual at work and concentrate full time on school. I need to give my full attention to my...

  15. Can AGNP's work in women's health settings?

    ICU2NP replied to dana16's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Women's health yes, OB no. I am interested in women's health but every women's health job I've come across so far also has an OB aspect... so unfortunately I can't apply to

  16. Need direction...

    ICU2NP replied to Fl1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree, if you are not already a nurse then I would go the PA route for sure. Especially if you have no desire to actually be a nurse, which is the initial foundation of a nurse practitioner. I have...

  17. Urgent Care My First Job

    ICU2NP replied to daneka50's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree about finding continuing education for procedures - they are obviously live in person but I found out about them by searching online in my area. I was initially interested in urgent care and...

  18. What nursing jobs provide the best foundation for a NP?

    ICU2NP replied to citynurse25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'll just offer a different perspective from the previous reply - I believe that my inpatient RN experience has been EXTREMELY helpful for my NP education, mostly due to my assessment skills. As an...

  19. Need help deciding between job offers

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

    Congrats! How nice to be able to choose exactly which job you would like. From the information you presented, I believe I would be choosing B. To me, in house resources and appropriate ancillary...

  20. What's a Nurse Practitioner?!

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

    The question I always get is: "But what's the difference between an NP and PA??" Then I explain (and keep it brief), and then they always ask again at a later date (aka my mother-in-law. OMG. I...

  21. Should I work in ICU before becoming an NP

    ICU2NP replied to alexamasan's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Meh, I would just worry about finding a place to work where you can get hours that will be conducive to doing clinicals, or a place where you can go casual or is low stress. I worked strictly ICU...

  22. Dilemma: FNP or AGNP -final semester

    ICU2NP replied to FNPOwlGal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So have you finished all your clinicals required for adult/gero then? I would switch. But I'm partial - I'm in an AGPC program :) There are tons of jobs out there for me, but I suppose it depends...

  23. "Pay your dues" or go for what you want?

    ICU2NP replied to BBeers7's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Every area of nursing is a specialty, essentially. You'll train to learn how to work on that unit with that population. Apply to and work where YOU want to work. I started in ICU straight out of...
