Everyone pretty much gets accepted so no, but these schools are hurting our reputation and also are responsible for the massive saturation of the field. They are cashing in on the NP boom.

Nothing wrong with online, but for profit there is something wrong with. Because they exist to make a profit and enrich shareholders, they care more about having more customers and thus treat school enrollment like sales. This is why they turn away a...

There's nothing wrong with online schools, but for-profit programs exist to make a profit. There are plenty of respectable schools that are affordable and don't accept 100% of applicants with no admissions standards at all. I know several employers w...

No, not all schools are the same.

If a school has a 100% acceptance rate and starts a new "cohort" every few weeks it's probably a diploma mill!

No, that's a conflict of interest and you cannot "examine yourself"

The profit programs are not cheap. They charge a lot for their joke educational programs. People go simply because they are easy. I will not work with them, I will not mentor them, I will not hire them. They need to be shunned as they turn ...

Well, that's just silly as residency is more of a paid training while they are working they are heavily subsidized by the federal government for these programs which pays their salary. APRNs are at least billing and bringing in income.

To be fair, most nurse practitioners I have encountered have been some of the nicest most friendliest providers, but unfortunately until I can verify they went to a real school and not a degree mill I won't let them touch me. All east for MDs I know ...

Ride the cash cow to the ground! And many nurses just don't have the savvy to recognize a scam, and those are exactly the people who shouldn't be treating patients. I have lost count of the number of people defending for-profit online programs becaus...

When the for profits graduate thousands a year every year the portion of us qualified graduates goes down. We will soon be a profession where the most likely scenario when you see an NP is a for profit degree mill graduate treating you ... and once t...

Wow read through this again shaking my head - is there a medical/PA/ANY other profession board where a good chunk of them are literally advocating for lower standards and saying "this is good enough!" Every other professions pushes for the highest st...

Searched online and found this in Baton Rouge, LA: https://franu.edu/academics/academic-programs/family-nurse-practitioner/FNP-post-masters-certificate 1-2 year program and they even coordinate the preceptors for you! Good luck!

Lots of vacation and structuring my days with breaks constantly. I start at 9am, take a 30 min break at 10:30, lunch from 12:30-1:30 and another break at 2:30 before finishing around 4:45. I takes about 6-8 weeks of vacation annually. Lif...

It's a grass is greener on the other side situation: Everyone and their mother is going to PMHNP programs or getting a post-master cert. The percentage increase for PMHNP graduates is the highest of any speciality. The "great hours" and high pa...

Honestly $100/hr at least for PMHNP

I think it depends on wording: It's either "You make your collections up to 100K, then 20% above" which is the calculation of misusing the 100K first. Or it's You have base salary of 100K PLUS 20% of collections which would be 100K plus 20% of y...

Most psych providers do 30-60 min appts. It is beneficial for the patient (less rushed appt), the provider (more time with patient, for charting, etc), and for the employer (can code for the therapy add ons to bill for higher). I see 8-12 per day tot...

Are you kidding? Do you do psych? 99214 is a complexity code. In psych it applies to 90% + of patients. Having a prescription + 2 diagnoses that are stable (MDD and GAD with lexapro for example) is automatically a 99214 even if the appt i...

Smart! Did you contract with insurance or self pay only? Several of my colleagues have gone private practice but they keep getting gobbled up by the big players trying to consolidate because they have trouble negotiating favorable insurance rates on ...

Have you hired any partners/someone to work under you? It's working out to be about $196 per hour. You could hire a psych NP to work under you for $150,000 per year and if they bring in the same $196 per hour they will bring in $360,000 a year workin...

Would love this to be true, in reality I’ve rarely met an NP who advocates for themselves. I often see those billing 300-400K annually while being paid $95K with 2 weeks vacation and 50 hour work weeks. Makes me want to open my own practice and emplo...

If you’re paid by the hour with no bonuses who cares how you bill? You’re not going to see any of it.

Just stay away from for profit programs like Walden and Phoenix and Chamberlain!
