  3. Veterans disability exams (Compensation and Pension exams)

    InquisitiveAPN replied to olla's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I actually saw a DOD study that mentioned most MST claims come from the navy with again the majority of those in ship underway. The problem with MST is that someone can come in decades later and...

  4. Veterans disability exams (Compensation and Pension exams)

    InquisitiveAPN replied to olla's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nobody in psych has support staff. No one and psych is the largest specialty service encompassing about five other programs. However, there are completely NP-led primary care

  5. Who will do CNS role?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to anewsns's topic in Advanced Practice

    CNS isn't a broad program. It's a poorly defined program. Contemplate that. In the OP's post, there's nothing that any RN with volition can do. The only wake to shake the benefits loose are to get a...

  6. Veterans disability exams (Compensation and Pension exams)

    InquisitiveAPN replied to olla's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I found the VA to be full of friendly and helpful staff. There is absolutely no provider support so the mundane stuff you'd normally toss to other staff don't exist to do your bidding. This was the...

  7. VA Clinical Ladder

    InquisitiveAPN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, that all sounds weird. Nurse II isn't really a significant grade. Are you in an expensive locality? High

  9. VA Clinical Ladder

    InquisitiveAPN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Government, Military

    How long will boards take? Six months or less. And the residencies start at a certain time of year. What is your other PharmD cohort doing? Yes, you could be a psych specialized pharmacist. Idk if...

    InquisitiveAPN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Government, Military

    Why not be a clinical pharmacist? The VA has a great residency program for PharmDs. In hindsight, I wish I'd done that,

    When you're vested in a retirement system you can leave and not lose the employers match to your

  12. Have you worked at a Hospital,then VA Hospital?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to BrendaH84's topic in Government, Military

    So fully investigate FERS and the TSP before you jump. Those are the retirement plans along with Social Security and whatever you do on your own. The older persons idea of work 20 years and get paid...

  13. Have you worked at a Hospital,then VA Hospital?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to BrendaH84's topic in Government, Military

    According to the staff nurses at the VA, it's not a lot different. Things move very slowly. Everything is done by committee. I haven't been in hospitals in a few years, but there's lots of safety and...

  14. Demand for entry level psych NP versus psych nurses

    InquisitiveAPN replied to redbullz9's topic in Psychiatric

    IDK if they're TJC or not. I think TJC and CARF are hogwash, but that's beside the point. I've never heard of a certified food handler in my life, lol. And yes I've been around the block and have the...

    What do you mean? Telemedicine is more difficult than inpatient rounding? Or NP is harder than

  17. Revenue streams? Psych np?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to ncaru01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Telemedicine can be exceptionally lucrative and makes most sense for psych because we don't actually examine patients in the stereotypical sense. We also don't need tools, exam rooms, and endless...

  19. MSN or DNP to be nursing educator?

    InquisitiveAPN replied to rnlung89's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    So in pvt practice I made six figures starting with a 2. In government practice, I make exactly half that lol. My nursing professor chum makes another 20k less. Sad

  20. MSN in Nursing and Healthcare Leadership jobs

    InquisitiveAPN replied to Linzie0406's topic in Nurse Management

    I get a lot of calls from head hunters for various NP jobs, and about every few months I'll get a call about some admin job somewhere. Usually they pay less and the NP positions -

  21. Demand for entry level psych NP versus psych nurses

    InquisitiveAPN replied to redbullz9's topic in Psychiatric

    The psych hospitals in my area can't keep staff - including RNs which they pay sign in bonuses to for commitments. They're always under staffed as well. I've heard they'll go entire days without...
