    NP Commission Pay

    WVFNP replied to npjuju's topic in Advanced Practice

    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...

    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...

    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...

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

    WVFNP replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

    New grade salary

    WVFNP replied to New NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

    Am I able?

    WVFNP replied to Nurse_soon's topic in Male Nursing 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,...

    Minimum Scores for Boards

    WVFNP replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

    WVFNP replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

    Minimum Scores for Boards

    WVFNP replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

    Minimum Scores for Boards

    WVFNP replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You can actually look at the AANP or AANC websites and see their success rates from previous years. Plus, you know what they call a person who passes boards with the lowest acceptable score? Family...

    Tattoos

    WVFNP replied to ThatChickOmi's topic in General Students

    I have forearm tattoos and I was required to cover them during nursing school clinicals. I always just wore and under armour shooter's sleeve. Worked well and I didn't get hot with an undershirt

    Yes, you currently have to find your own preceptors, but the school notified students of any clinical placement spots open that they are aware of. They also provide a list of individuals who have...

    WVFNP replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    You "figuring out he was high" based of a Snapchat/text on his personal phone is wrong to begin with. Secondly, after you voiced your concern to a charge nurse or higher up, why were YOU part of any...
