    xenogenetic replied to BeautynBrains_RN's topic in Advanced Practice

  5. Independent Contract NP and Billing

    xenogenetic replied to BeautynBrains_RN's topic in Advanced Practice

    One point even before you start billing, think long and hard regarding your ownership structure. Before you decide to take on a corporate entity (i.e. LLC, C corp, etc.) remember corporations don't...

  6. Are FNP salaries in family practice really this low?

    xenogenetic replied to new_horizons555's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, I agree its about lifestyle...especially as you get older because you want to enjoy life instead of trading your hours for dollars. So, as a NP you are able to make in a 32 hr workweek what you...

    xenogenetic replied to amyyturner's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would encourage you to try to shadow one before deciding on this career. I have met a couple CRNAs that shocked me when they said they would not do it again. They stated that they don't enjoy the...

    At state psych hospitals they usually have agency police on grounds who went through the same training as and are actual state troopers. They would respond to all psychiatric emergencies in tandem...

  14. Psych home care

    xenogenetic replied to Diane1954's topic in Psychiatric

    Psych homecare may seem easy because you just give meds and go, but the trade off is that there is increased danger. My co-worker went in to wake up her long time patient in his apartment to refill...

  15. Dating a former patient

    xenogenetic replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    Putting ethics aside, the way I make decisions would be to consider the worst possible scenario and then see if i could deal with that worst case scenario. What if things go poorly in your...

    xenogenetic replied to Antoinette672's topic in Florida Nursing

    xenogenetic replied to kjinman100's topic in Advanced Practice

    Per diem (no benefits) rates for NPs in Connecticut range from $60 to $100 per hour. I would imagine many larger cities nationwide would have comparable per diem rates so picking up a per diem job in...

  19. Are state benefits really all it's cracked up to be?

    xenogenetic replied to Livingdeadnurse's topic in Nursing Career

    One thing nice about my state is that you get *full* health benefits even if you are a part-time state employee with hours between 17.5 to 32 per week. A hybrid employment strategy that I am going to...

  20. Undergraduate gpa

    xenogenetic replied to KB85RN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I believe many of the NP programs set a minimum GPA of 3.0, so i would not get too worried. Check the schools you are trying to get into and many times they list the minimum gpa right within the...

  25. UMASS Boston FNP program

    xenogenetic replied to care2share's topic in Advanced Practice
