    Sha-Sha RN replied to Angeljho's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sha-Sha RN replied to NYMurse91's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sha-Sha RN replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  6. First NP Job and unhappy...What to do?

    Sha-Sha RN replied to TCUgirl15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are a FNP which should give you access to a women's health position now because I know most FNP programs expect you to do a lot of hours in woman's health. I'm an Adult NP and I had to do at least...

  7. Time off after graduating

    Sha-Sha RN replied to moonischasingme1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just as NewFNP2015 said if you go with a large health system the credentialing process is lengthy (it took me 3 months to go thru the credentialing process), so you would have more time off with that....

  10. Subspecialty requirements for inpatient

    Sha-Sha RN replied to knit_nurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most programs no longer offer a straight Adult NP program anymore because of the Consensus Model which calls for more specificity. This is why you see adult-gero primary vs acute care. Plus the...

    Sha-Sha RN replied to nursepat89's topic in New York Nursing

    Things may have changed a lot since the 10 years I graduated but I know someone who was there in the last 2 years and it sound the same. I know there was no specific job placement assistance - your...

  12. Job offer help

    Sha-Sha RN replied to rightwithin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is this job in a private practice or hospital based position? Does the $300/ yr carryover because you don't pay DEA, certification and licensing fees yearly? They should be at least paying for your...

  13. ATT: How long for AANP and ANCC?

    Sha-Sha RN replied to anh06005's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I took the ANCC exam and you can send them a transcript without your degree posted that shows all of your courses completed. I sent it this way and I got my ATT 1 week later, way before my degree...

    Sha-Sha RN replied to blueindigo79's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  15. Discouraged NP student

    Sha-Sha RN replied to Bornleader-NP-C's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sha-Sha RN replied to DKNYFaith's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sha-Sha RN replied to lemur87's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  19. NP working in a non-provider role

    Sha-Sha RN replied to Sha-Sha RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The salary was the only plus. When they asked what type of salary I was looking for and I quoted starting salaries for NPs in this area (around 105k), the interviewer said would more than that be

  20. NP working in a non-provider role

  21. NP working in a non-provider role

    Sha-Sha RN replied to Sha-Sha RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  23. NP starting salaries in the Capital region of NY

    Sha-Sha RN replied to Sha-Sha RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was surprised by the disparity between PA and NP salaries, but it makes me wonder if that has to do with the preference that some MDs have to work with PAs and the long standing issue that PA have...

  24. NP starting salaries in the Capital region of NY

    Sha-Sha RN replied to Sha-Sha RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There isn't a bonus sharing component as far as I know, that was never part of the conversation. The role would be to see all the doc's follow-up patients so it would free up his time to do...

  25. AG-ACNP

    Sha-Sha RN replied to clvalent's topic in Advanced Practice
