    We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    MentalKlarity replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    People are just going to have to come to terms with the fact that going to a for-profit program comes with a large number of people doubting the quality of your school and potentially a harder time...

    We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    MentalKlarity replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The email I once received from a for profit graduate asking for preceptorship was written at about a 3rd grade level. From a graduate student. The one for profit student I did precept for a time...

    Total Number of Nurse Practitioners Hits 325,000

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

    This response is exhibit A to why saturation hurts us all. You are already saying that you expect being an NP to be a 5 figure position. The only reason you think that way is competition and over...

    MentalKlarity replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Writing letters to ANCC and AANP is a start. And yes a petition could help too. Not everyone is intelligent enough to be a medical provider. We need multiple entry hurdles to allow on the...

    By not flooding our market with endless new graduates so that the NP supply < NP demand. This is really just basic economics. MDs do manage that. Let me know when an MD is applying to...

    Again, it's not just about "finding a job" it's about ensuring we always have high wages, good benefits, and flexible PTO. An oversupply of providers WILL effect everyone, even those with a ton of...

    New Grad NP Working Alone

    MentalKlarity replied to LuckystarNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is why residency should be mandatory. We market ourselves as population experts equal to other providers but we DO require a long orientation to transition from school to practice. Unfortunately...

    Why is finding preceptors so hard?

    MentalKlarity replied to Kalibear17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The reason is that finding preceptors is the "hard" part for schools and would cost them a lot of money. If the nursing accreditation agencies required clinical placement like they do for RN schools...

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

    It's just not true. There are plenty of professions that have been overwhelmed by supply and wages dropped as jobs became scarce. You also put too much stock in employers, as many just want a warm...

    PMHNP numbers are getting bad too. There is now a predicted oversupply for PMHNPs as well. Even Walden has gotten in on the PMHNP game and annual graduates are skyrocketing. Will be saturated

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

    I just checked the BLS numbers. They estimate 24,000 new NP jobs annually from 2019-2029. We just graduated 32,000 in one year, that's 8,000 more than needed. If this continues even at...

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

    I don't doubt that. You seem to misunderstand what they are saying in the data. They are saying jobs will grow by 45%. I can accept that. But the number of nurse practitioners are growing by MORE than...

    Irrelevant if the number of nurse practitioners grows by 300% in the same time frame. Most estimates are showing an oversupply of nurse practitioners by

    percent of billing or equity in practice

    MentalKlarity replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on the overhead. What type of practice? Anything from 50-70% is reasonable. Remember that would be of collections, not billing. Not every person/insurance company ends up paying...

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

    Agreed. I know several nurses who went to NP school in their spare time online while working as a floor nurse, and either still work bedside or have accepted an NP job making the same or $5-$7 more...

    It's more like we needed a pound of flour and are getting 4 pounds. The market can't absorb this many per year. And do you know who "wins" a competitive employment process? The employer! When...

    DEA nonsense

    MentalKlarity replied to DrCOVID's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Isn't it irrelevant right now since due to COVID the DEA is only requiring you to have a DEA in one state in order to prescribe controlled substances in any state? So whether it's washington or TX it...
