  1. There is no concern over NP license being denied due to sexual orientation. How on earth did you come up with that one? I believe sexual orientation is a civil rights issue and discrimination based...
  2. 1. She clearly demonstrated lack of judgment. That does not bode well for her ability to be a legislator. 2. Demonstrating lack of judgment, well, calls into question her judgment in general,...
  3. Your chances are excellent. Why are you so concerned? Your GPA is outstanding and being bilingual is a huge asset. At many state colleges/universities, nursing programs are impacted, so that would...
  4. Typical NP resident/fellow salary

    Unfortunately, NP residency pay is not very good. I believe around $60 to $80K per year. However, it is only one year, and it is a great opportunity. MD interns and residents don't make a lot,...
  5. Can I be forced to take Spanish speaking classes?

    I'm a bit confused. You stated that the Spanish classes are mandatory to become certified translators. Are all the nurses expected to be certified translators? Or does this apply only to staff that...
  6. Did the NP have the right to do what she did? Yes. That is not in question. Should she have done it AFTER becoming a candidate for office? NO. And to then whine that it is "dirty" for her...
  7. What is your thinking here? She is a Democrat. Democrats are generally liberal. Republicans are conservative. Conservatives would not support a candidate like this. And frankly, a lot of...
  8. I have no political interest in the Virginia state elections. I intended this more as a general post for NPs. It falls under general practice professionalism and judgment. As for hush-hush,...
  9. New PMHNP pay

    You are under no obligation to this position. You got a significantly better offer elsewhere, so take it! NP pay varies a lot by location. Please research what PMHNPs are making in your area....
  10. PMHNP number of patients per day

    60 patients per day is way too many. Please find another position and get out of there ASAP. The general standard now, which I think is too high, is 20 min per follow up appt and 40 minutes for a...
  11. While I agree that what 2 consenting adults do (as long as it does not involve other beings that can't give consent like children, animals, disabled persons, etc) is private, it isn't really private...
  12. Whenever I see lists of the best and most in-demand jobs that pay well, it always has a lot of healthcare jobs. I think healthcare is the way to go. Even for high tech folks who don't want to go...
  13. Question About the Path to PMHNP

    I'm confused by your post. What has med-surg got to do with becoming a PMHNP or FNP? If you are an RN now, then you need to choose your specialty before applying to an NP Program: PMHNP, FNP,...
  14. PMHNP Review Recommendations

    I used the "Purple" ANCC book and also the Zakhari PMHNP review book. Also, https://www.nursingworld.org/continuing-education/PMHNP-PracticeIQ-23/ and Pocket Prep review
  15. Interview discrimination?

    If the school is that disorganized, probably not a good place to work. Please just focus on reactivating your license for now. You may be able to find another school nurse opportunity once your...
  16. I am so sorry you and your husband are going through this. Prior to becoming an NP, I worked in high-tech for 20 years. Unfortunately, while one can make a lot of money in high-tech, there is pretty...
  17. Undecided and out of time

    Did you make decision? If so, what did you decide. I am late to this thread. Reading your post, it appears that flexibility and the ability to work from home are very important to you right...
  18. I also want to make a note on earning an ADN at a California community college. These programs have long wait lists as they are the cheapest option and they are also excellent programs. However,...
  19. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

    I'm not sure where these numbers are coming from. I guess it depends on location. In California, a FT PMHNP is going to make $150K to $220K per year, in general. There are some outliers below and...
  20. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    How can anyone on this forum tell you if going from travel RN to FNP is worth it? The answer is that it depends on what you are looking for. Financially, a travel RN is probably making a lot...
  21. I'm glad to help! ? This made me remember that when I first started out, I put a lot of pressure on myself. As a classic overachiever, I believed I should have known everything. As a result, I was...
  22. If you have bad grades, then you can fix that. If you haven't taken the nursing prereqs, do so and get the best grades possible. If you have already taken the prereqs, then retake the classes you...
  23. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

    Good points. However, the places I've worked and work now are always happy to hire MDs or DOs. They've never turned down an MD they liked who wanted a job there, assuming salary was in line, etc....
  24. No one here can tell you if you will get in. You just have to apply and see what happens. I'd be careful about revealing your prior drinking problem. You say you had straight As until...
  25. You aren't going to find any affordable schools that way. If you are going to community college in California you are lucky, as the tuition is very cheap for state residents. The cheapest schools...
