  1. Shocked by MD attitude

    yogagal replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sounds like he might not last long there. I've come across those types of docs over the years at FQHCs, sometimes I think they end up there because no one else will hire them and as you know all FQHCs...

  2. Question concerning neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

    yogagal replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I remember when I was new and panicking about stuff like this after hours and over the weekend. I know you were just coming here for reassurance and insight. I am however concerned that none of the...

  3. 60 day notice

    yogagal replied to fnp15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Curious how this turned out. I would have just given my 60 days and taken my vacation without even mentioning it. I mean its sixty days notice total not 60 working days

  4. There has to be more besides indeed.com for NP job searches??!

  5. New Grad NP - How I Got Multiple Job Offers

    yogagal replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're right millions do live there, and respiratory illnesses are a big problem (I saw it first hand in clinic the 3 years that I worked there). More power to you if you are able to tolerate it...

  6. New Grad NP - How I Got Multiple Job Offers

    yogagal replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sounds like you are doing well. Just want to add my standard disclaimer about the Central Valley. Do not move there without reading up on the air quality. My first NP job was in that area (great pay,...

  7. Tell me the downsides.

    yogagal replied to CardiacDork's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with everything medic97RN09 said. While the never ending slog and daily annoyances with administrative tasks and non-compliant patients are very real, I can legitimately say I have had a...

  8. Tell me the downsides.

    yogagal replied to CardiacDork's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In primary care at least, that never ending inbox of lab results, consults, radiology reports, med refills, patient questions, staff questions. Staying caught up on those and getting notes done on...

  9. Health Risk Assessment job (HRA) as a new grad?

    yogagal replied to magallanes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm doing it now, it's REALLY easy, and yes the main thing to learn is coding. I worked in family practice for 8 years so I'm am already familiar with coding but you have to way more detailed about it...

  10. Interesting day for a PMHNP

    yogagal replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for sharing, it really is amazing the things you will learn about a patient if you know them for a few years. Continuity of care really does

  11. Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

    yogagal replied to Slhengy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it's ridiculous. I get emails all the time through our local NP org from students begging for a preceptor; what a terrible burden on top of keeping up with school and I know many people are...

  12. Need a sanity check

    yogagal replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How far would you have to move for the Air Force job? I dunno, I feel like it's good to be an actual family practitioner first then specialize later if you hate it. I've also heard federal benefits...

  13. Why NP instead of MD, DO, or PA?

    yogagal replied to Loux's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In CA PAs have to have a percentage of their charts cosigned by a physician. In certain jobs (especially) primary care there seems to be a definite hiring preferences for NPs because other than having...

  14. Is a government job worth it?

    yogagal replied to imanfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I ALWAYS am on the lookout for university/student health positions, they never come up! With good reason

  15. New Grad NP - Job Offer I Accepted

    yogagal replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Federally Qualified Health Center What is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)? - FQHC Germane Sometimes referred to as a community clinic. They will see anyone, take all government and some...

  16. New Grad NP - Job Offer I Accepted

    yogagal replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Great job. Sounds like a good solid start. I worked my first 8 years at an FQHC and it is the best NP education I could have asked for and turned me in to a confident and independent PCP. I'm gonna...

  17. NP jobs that work 3days

    yogagal replied to Guest1059175's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You'd be more likely to find 4 10s as many primary care clinics have extended evening hours but not quite enough to make 12 hour

  18. Single Parent, Relocation, Daycare?

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

    Hmmm that schedule would be really difficult to arrange childcare for. Daycares usually require you to have set days and very few are open weekends. Best of luck to

  19. From NY to California, LA?

    yogagal replied to supernursejason's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agree some of what you wrote but if you are thinking of moving to Fresno or anywhere in the Central Valley please read up on the air quality. I worked my first NP job there as a new grad (great pay,...

  20. Direct-Entry NP Success Stories

    yogagal replied to arockenhaus1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh and to answer you last question the program was time consuming but I did not find the material any more challenging than my first bachelors, in fact I would venture to say the material was actually...

  21. Direct-Entry NP Success Stories

    yogagal replied to arockenhaus1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Me. I went to Columbia, my background was similar to yours. I'm a damn good NP, PCP to an extremely challenging patient panel at an FQHC and have been since I graduated. Most of my cohort are all...

  22. Glassdoor vs Salary.com real market value-have to let them know by the end of the day!

    yogagal replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agreed on all points. And not only do the docs ask each other, they ask ME! I work in family practice at an FQHC and we have a lot of retired docs that were specialists who now work in primary care...

  23. Glassdoor vs Salary.com real market value-have to let them know by the end of the day!

    yogagal replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Curious how everything turned out? Hope you got what you wanted. I think you should have asked for 125 from the job you want. NPs need to get paid more across the board for what we do...we ALL need to...

  24. Kaiser NP Salary?

    yogagal replied to COknights10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Southern California, anecdotal from a friend, about 65/hour, that's with over 5 years NP experience. I would say aim HIGH let them

  25. Columbia: Questions about ETP

    yogagal replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have three shirts and two pants and it's enough. If they're using the same brand as we got then I would definitely not order the XS unless you are truly tiny, like a size 0-2. However, it seems that...
