  1. Travel RNs Making $$ - Would you go back to it?

    Guest1144461 replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP jobs don't pay because there is 0 barrier to entry and a glut of new grads. Wonder why CRNAs still get paid a ton? They control the flow of entry. CRNA schools are sub 20% acceptance and accept...

  2. APRN in scrubs?

    Guest1144461 replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think as long as the pandemic is rolling around scrubs are the norm but as a psych NP long term you are going to have to accept the world of business casual. Even IP thats what we wore

  3. ROTC w/ Nursing School?

    Guest1144461 replied to Dantastic_'s topic in Government, Military

    I did it, definitely more work but I think it makes you a better officer since you commission and do the same requirements as every other officer. Direct commission is just signing on the dotted line....

  4. Feeling Lost As An NP

    Guest1144461 replied to plantmom4lyfe's topic in Advanced Practice

    Oh yeah? Do you actually do the job? Are you a working NP? You want to work harder than being a RN and get paid less than one? That makes sense. But yeah go get your 500 clinical hours and be prepared...

  5. Feeling Lost As An NP

    Guest1144461 replied to plantmom4lyfe's topic in Advanced Practice

    Blind encouragement is pointless. Encouraging someone to make a poor financial decision for an "ideal" lifestyle that is not reality is not helpful at all. I do MD work but get paid less than RNs...

  6. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Guest1144461 replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you have a residency/fellowship? Hospitalist work has HIGH learning

  7. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Guest1144461 replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This. I have been in healthcare for 10 years and every year I see more entitlement and unappreciation. Quite often I question why I do this as my tech friends essentially have a much higher QOL and...

  8. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Guest1144461 replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To this, I agree. Honestly to all the travellers and staff RNs out there, milk the incentives from the hospitals for all they are worth. NP salary for the work is honestly piss poor and I grow envious...

  9. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Guest1144461 replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is bare-bones basic medicine. Ordering a TSH is literally standard investigation I do every time I see weight gain, fatigue, cold intolerance, flat mood etc. Bravo. If you don't think...

  10. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Guest1144461 replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did a year residency and trained alongside MD residents doing 90 hour weeks in addition to being independent for 2 years and having countless years of RN experience prior to that. I am not an MD but...

  11. FNP or AG-ACNP

    Guest1144461 replied to mollyxrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Consensus model. If you want to do acute care do ACNP. Don't believe what others are telling you, unless you live in the boondocks you WILL NEED your ACNP to work inpatient. Almost every job posting I...

  12. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Guest1144461 replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ah yes the crux issue of wanting the big bennies but also the title of provider. You won't have both right now. NP pay sucks especially considering what travel nurses get. In my job, I am...

    Guest1144461 replied to propofoldreams_'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You are probably the only one who has heard so far....are they piecemealing

  14. Thomas Jefferson University CRNA 2022 Start

    Guest1144461 replied to CSICU_RN24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'd be surprised if they didn't fill most of their spots by now. Even though the deadline is Feb 15, I feel like the priority deadline of 11/15 definitely holds weight. Not saying they don't keep...

  15. Considering becoming an APRN

    Guest1144461 replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yeah I always found it interesting when nurses titrated pressors and acted like they were practicing meDicInE. Medicine is nuance. Medicine is knowing when to admit, when to discharge, when to...

  16. Considering becoming an APRN

    Guest1144461 replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    I was an ICU nurse for years and frankly, I don't think it means much. Either you are going to be a competent provider or you aren't. The best NPs I have met were previous engineers (or similar) who...

  17. Considering becoming an APRN

    Guest1144461 replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    Spoiler alert: they don't and most of the locums job descriptions throw NPs into jobs they aren't prepared for in most cases (solo nocturnal and admitting cross-coverage). I have done the solo...

  18. RN Military Spouse Relocated Internationally

    Guest1144461 replied to Christine_RN's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, it's an awful place for families but as a single guy it's awesome. Even better than Germany

  19. Considering becoming an APRN

    Guest1144461 replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is pretty limited thinking. 1. You are in CA. 2. PMHNP is niche and paid more because there is a severe lack of providers. You have to want to be in this area. For 95% of other NPs, we are...

  20. Considering becoming an APRN

    Guest1144461 replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    Basically this, I am not sub 100k but I did do a residency and have worked alongside residents constantly. Sucks to see them graduate while we did the same work and their starting jobs are 150k more...

  21. Considering becoming an APRN

    Guest1144461 replied to RNmedic92's topic in Advanced Practice

    Jobs aren't hard to find. Good salaries are though especially when there is some new NP who will take 85k while your MD colleague doing the same job makes 285k. This hurts the professions immensely. I...

  22. Midwestern CRNA 2022

    Guest1144461 replied to flightRN92's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think its important to know that many of the students applying aren't fresh ICU nurses. Many are late 20s or early 30s with tons of experience. Some have been NPs already bearing the burden of being...

  23. Rosalind Franklin CRNA 2022

    Guest1144461 replied to emily-icu's topic in School, College Programs

    People are forgetting that they have a ton of interview sessions, my buddy isn't till the last one (next year) because when he tried to register the rest were filled. They aren't going to accept every...

    Guest1144461 replied to Christine_RN's topic in Government, Military

    Honestly you are lucky to even go with them. I knew a lot of guys who didn't even get to bring their

    My buddy applied but hasn't heard anything. I missed the deadline this
