   NP Commission Pay

   WVFNP replied to npjuju's topic in Advanced

   I do think it depends on what your practice will look like. Will you have your own patients, or will you be seeing walk-ins and taking some of the burden off of the other providers when needed. The other posters have mentioned a ramp up time. While i...

   NPI help

   WVFNP replied to rnBSN223's topic in Advanced

   Search NPPES. Create account. Fill out the information. Pretty self explanatory from there.

   Not sure how to deal with this future classmate...

   WVFNP replied to tulipsupontulips's topic in General Students

   Seriously? Shut him down. Tell him you have a boyfriend and you're not interested in speaking/texting/chatting with him. You don't have to be friends with every person in your cohort to succeed in nursing school. Trust me, you'll realize this by the ...

   I welcome your brutal suggestions on my resume/CL

   WVFNP replied to pnwRN88's topic in Job Hunt

   I would also remove the "hours" from each clinical roatation. Just my two cents. Good luck in finding a job.

   NP Or Educator?

   WVFNP replied to anewsns's topic in General Nursing

   "I light up when teaching anything to anyone" Sounds like your answer. Lectures, coupled with clinical instruction, would allow you to stay somewhat hands on. Being a nurse practitioner is definitely more hands on, and you are still dealing with fam...

   Are NP jobs as plentiful as I am led to believe?

   WVFNP replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in NP

   Network. Network. Network. I did this while I was in clinicals and it paid off. The facility I worked for as an RN basically created a job for me with a great physician. She knew my skill set, and basically went to bat for me. She knew the value I co...

   New grade salary

   WVFNP replied to New NP's topic in NP

   It would also depend on the details of the offer, such as benefits, reimbursement, etc. I am a new grad NP and had a set number in my head that I felt I had to be at. Needless to say, I was offered a job with a physician I did clinical rotations with...

   First Week of School, Overwhelmed

   WVFNP replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in General Students

   Haha this is true for many of us I think! House was my go to show, and I tried to come up with my own differential and see how I did compared to House and his residents!

   Was I accepted into nursing school for being a male

   WVFNP replied to Big_Mike's topic in Male Students

   Who cares? You were accepted!! But it is tough to answer your question without some other details such as GPA, etc.

    Am I able?

    WVFNP replied to Nurse_soon's topic in Male Students

    Stared an ADN program with zero experience, and had pretty much never been in a hospital until my first child was born. Today I passed ANCC and I am officially a nurse practitioner. It is tough, stressful, and pretty much miserable at times, but very...

    ANCC Passed

    WVFNP posted a topic in NP Students

    I am proud to say that I took the ANCC exam today and passed!! Hallelujah, it's over! I promised myself I would come back and share my experience on the site I viewed so many times. However, I feel I must share a little bit of my backstory. I've been...

    Minimum Scores for Boards

    WVFNP replied to stickit34's topic in NP Students

    I never said I or anyone else would be looking for questions on subjects they prefer. I simply stated that it is common knowledge that if you're tested in areas that you're more familiar with you will do better, and therefore would be more likely to ...

    Minimum Scores for Boards

    WVFNP replied to stickit34's topic in NP Students

    lwsoccjs: Gonna watch this username to pop up on a "suggestions/advice on how to pass boards" thread...... Scary is being that confident without ever practicing.

    Minimum Scores for Boards

    WVFNP replied to stickit34's topic in NP Students

    I definitely feel they could be at the same competency level. It's the luck of the draw in terms of the questions you get on your exam. Now if every single person took the same exact test then your arguenenr may be more valid... But your point is off...

    Minimum Scores for Boards

    WVFNP replied to stickit34's topic in NP Students

    Yeah. That would be good information to give your potential employer when they asked how you prepared for your national certification. Oh wait... they won't. They ask if you have license, and that's pretty much all they care about. Talk about scary. ...
