1. FNP in Hospital Setting

   NewBostonFNP replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

   Again, I shifted the conversation away from the role I will be having for Internet/security reasons. I was very vague in my description for privacy reasons. Yes, I’ll have some patients in the ICU...

2. FNP in Hospital Setting

   NewBostonFNP replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

   OK so all I can add is my recent experience: new grad NP with 8yrs of RN experience. I was offered a job with no benefits at a weight loss clinic south of Boston for $89k. I basically laughed in...

3. FNP in Hospital Setting

   NewBostonFNP replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

   I think you have a very valid argument. I have hesitated to respond because I don’t feel comfortable saying what I’ll be hired to do given that my username states my location. I truly feel as if...

4. FNP in Hospital Setting

   NewBostonFNP replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

   I mean, instead of a snarky gif, perhaps you could be helpful and use your actual, adult words and elaborate on what you are saying here? I did not ever work in a hospital as an RN so this is foreign...

5. FNP in Hospital Setting

   NewBostonFNP replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

   Yes it’s a speciality, not a hospitalist-type job. I will be rounding on ICU patients but in a largely consultative role for the specialty - so, not responsible for day-to-day care, but rather...

   Hi, I just accepted my first job as an FNP in a hospital setting. I'll be rounding on all patients in the hospital that will be on my service. Is there a specific personal malpractice insurance I...

7. Massachusetts NPs - A License Question!

   NewBostonFNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Can you apply for licensure before you have a job? The online APRN licensing application requires that the applicant apply to be a provider (and fill out a provider application) for MassHealth but it...

8. What credentials do I use?

   NewBostonFNP replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Thanks. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to become licensed. Apparently it is tied to Medicaid in my state and that application is about as easy to understand as

9. What credentials do I use?

   NewBostonFNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Hi! i received my official certification from the AANP today. It says I can use the credentials “NP-C.” I was in an FNP program so would I use FNP-C? Also, are my official credentials “My Name...

10. Passed AANP on Monday...I Have Questions!

    NewBostonFNP replied to NewBostonFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for this! A specialty does sound super interesting to me. I did a clinical rotation in a Minute Clinic and felt like it wouldn't be a good learning environment since you are solo after 3

11. Passed AANP on Monday...I Have Questions!

    NewBostonFNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi! I took the AANP as an FNP on Monday and I have a "preliminary pass." I have a few questions: 1) What licenses should I obtain now and what should I wait for a potential future employee to pay for...
