  1. Starting a PLLC

    xenogenetic replied to DrCOVID's topic in Advanced Practice

    No matter if you form a PLLC, you will be sued personally. You cannot abdicate personal liability in Healthcare as a practitioner. This is why a lot of OBGYNs have their spouse hold title to all...

  2. Does 1099 independent contractor NP need a business license?

    xenogenetic replied to labbio's topic in Advanced Practice

    No, you do not need a business license. If you decided to put your name on a sign outside your office soliciting business then you will need to sign up for a business license (register for a "trade...

  3. Medical marijuana

    xenogenetic replied to momofm1998's topic in Advanced Practice

    I certify patients for medical marijuana in CT. I certify that it "might" help the patient and recommend non-combustible forms and start at no/ low THC high CBD products. I advise that it medical...

  5. "Cinch" for FNP malpractice insurance?

    xenogenetic replied to FNP_Lifer's topic in Advanced Practice

  6. VA Nurse Practitioner

    xenogenetic replied to serenitylove14's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One employment strategy to consider is to work multiple part time jobs to total full time hours so that you can cull the best of both worlds of pay versus benefits. Try to find a part-time government...

  7. How much experience before entering PMHNP program?

    xenogenetic replied to oceanblue52's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would agree with above advice to find inpatient experience of at least a year before or during psych np school. Since 80% of np grads will find themselves in outpatient settings, if you have a...

  8. Fellow NPs: What's your strategy for retirement?

    xenogenetic replied to FNP_Lifer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    With the current health insurance market turmoil of gov't administrations trying to privatize medicaid and probably medicare, at 41 I am planning on the worst and not expecting to retire at 65 due to...

  9. Haloperidol Short Acting Administration Setting

    xenogenetic replied to 2Bee's topic in Psychiatric

    It can be administered in any setting, technically. But it's unlikely to be administered in the home unless the family is super hands on, no pun intended. Definitely regularly used in the ER, not sure...

  10. Haloperidol Short Acting Administration Setting

    xenogenetic replied to 2Bee's topic in Psychiatric

    Sometimes the long acting can be administered in the home by a visiting nurse. But long acting can also be given to stable patient that is about to be discharged off an inpatient psych unit, too. I...

  11. 1099 Contract work

    xenogenetic replied to bbcewalters's topic in Advanced Practice

    Have to pencil out the numbers. Many times the reason employers offer the 1099 route is because it's in their favor, financially, instead of yours. If it is a 1099 setup then be sure hold them, as...

  12. Liability Insurance-School won't share?

    xenogenetic replied to sunnyRN1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    By the way, I would buy your own as well since you don't know the terms of the policy. Getting your own is not that expensive....probably not more than a couple hundred

  13. New and innovative FNP jobs?

    xenogenetic replied to DragonflyLady17's topic in Advanced Practice

    I believe weight loss is a huge field. Having a niche, boutique, cash only weight loss (perhaps concierge) practice would be a highly profitable business, in my

  14. Independent contractor advice

    xenogenetic replied to Quedeezy's topic in Advanced Practice

    Some tax write offs phase out once you make a certain amount of $. Certain real estate write offs totally phase out once you hit $155k, for example. Be sure to you take a circumspect look at your...

  15. Compensation for Call Pay

    xenogenetic replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What Jules said + just remember that you have all the leverage here and don't let them lowball you. Might be too late now, but I would have couched it as I would *reluctantly* do the on-call in...

  16. Capitalization of Advanced Practice Nurse / Advanced Practice (speciality) Nurse, etc

    xenogenetic replied to LessValuableNinja's topic in Advanced Practice

    Look at how the major journals treat it and do the same. Enter the words in an journal search to get

  17. $29/hr--why am I still in this job!?

    xenogenetic replied to ndnursepract's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are you in an independent practice state? If yes, what does your employment agreement state about the possibility of starting your own practice on the side part-time that you could possibly transition...

  18. When does a contract become null & void?

    xenogenetic replied to NovemberLove's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Like above post stated, contact your state labor dept ASAP. Heck, I would have been on the horn after 1 week of delay in pay. You might be able to save yourself contract attorney fees if you contact...

  19. $29/hr--why am I still in this job!?

    xenogenetic replied to ndnursepract's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Its like I tell my wife during snowstorms when I rant about why we continue to live in the northeast and not in a warmer state...they have invented planes, trains and cars, so why not consider...

  20. What do NP's wear

    xenogenetic replied to FutureNP111315's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    At the very minimum, business casual. The state psych hospital banned allowing workers to wear scrubs back in the 1970s. The only ones allowed to wear lab coats are the lab techs. The philosophy is...

    xenogenetic replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for great, candid

  22. How are you saving for retirement?

    xenogenetic replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If I may ask, which company (Ameritas, Principal, MetLife?) have you chosen for your long term disability. I'm currently shopping around. What type of riders did you choose and find as being "must...

  23. NP and beyond...

    xenogenetic replied to LaxNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Try to join and participate in healthcare activism groups locally, statewide and nationally now and see if that fills your void. You may not need to acquire a law degree to make changes happen. Join...

  24. Taking Call out of State

    xenogenetic replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, my answer would be that you could. I know the entire field of telepsychiatry only has the requirement of the provider being licensed in the state where you are delivering services no matter where...

  25. How are you saving for retirement?

    xenogenetic replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They will appreciate in price for a fraction (50%) of what a similar house in a nice area would. This is due to supply and demand, because there are far fewer landlords, or would be new landlords, who...
