    New Grad NP need your advice on employment

    BostonFNP replied to BruinAGNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is the position they are filling from someone that is leaving? How long were they at the practice? Make sure you are truly being paid hourly and not a salary based on a 40 hour

    New Grad NP need your advice on employment

    BostonFNP replied to BruinAGNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is it truly $50/hr or a salary based on a 40-hour week? If you are scheduled patients from 8am to 430pm you are realistically looking at a 10 hour

    Newly licensed NP working as RN

    BostonFNP replied to GoodKick01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You should be able to get a job just fine. There is some debate about this but most people would agree that you should buy your own malpractice insurance as an NP even if you are not working in that...

    Family nurse practitioner vs. adult

    BostonFNP replied to Rebeccakb's topic in Advanced Practice

    You can work in those roles with either an FNP or an AGPCNP. If you don't want to see children ever then you can focus your learning with the latter, the question would be if it is worth it to you to...

    NP's working in weightloss clinic

    BostonFNP replied to DeeNP2017's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think the majority of that specialty falls into shades of sketch. I have never seen good outcomes data on pure pharmacotherapy for the long-term. Ironically the best weight-loss meds we have now...

    DNP program

    BostonFNP replied to dasilvat12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Many NP programs offer vouchers that can be used towards academic credits for precepting NP students. Some you have to ask for it, some will just automatically offer it, when you are contacted to...

    DNP program

    If you are a practicing NP you'd be crazy to pay anything for a MSN-DNP program: precept students and collect credits then use them for your

    Laboure college/transfer credits

    BostonFNP replied to studentrn728's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Don't go from one bad program to another, do your research beforehand! Laboure's pass rates have been abysmal as well: 60%, 64%, 59%, and most recently 79%. The national average is

    NP's working in weightloss clinic

    BostonFNP replied to DeeNP2017's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you are prescribing appropriately you have nothing to fear especially if you are prescribing on-label. If this is a shady weight loss clinic using abnormally large doses, clearly off-label...

    BostonFNP replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Insanity! Lol come on, we need to be a little consistent here! If you want to discredit the PP because they lack RN experience and don't know what they don't know, then you also have to discredit your...

    BostonFNP replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I missed part of the quoted text, but I meant more generally the notion that one person is more qualified simply because they "put their time in". It extends far beyond DEs and speaks to the fact that...

    Verbal orders for narcotics

    BostonFNP replied to Geslina's topic in General Nursing

    In order for a CSII to be given as a verbal order the ordering provider would need to consider the situation emergent (and acute pain could be considered that). If it wasn't an emergent issue, than...

    Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    BostonFNP replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If your lectures aren't conveying real-world experience of the lecturer then you should ask for your money back because they aren't preparing you for practice. If a program is "teaching" NP students...
