    Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

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

    NPs should not have to live in undesirable areas for a job. We have every right to live in desirable cities and make a good living. There are absolutely too many nurse practitioners graduating from...

    MSN-NP Programs So Cal

    Don't go to diploma mills like Phoenix unless you want no one to respect

    United States University (USU) FNP program January 2021

    MentalKlarity replied to babyisa's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't go to that school because it's "too hard"? You don't think a medical provider should be able to memorize body parts or watch weekly lectures? Your advising people go to easier schools?

    NPs, Please share the reasons you left your old job/specialty?

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

    Psychiatry - did the math and realized my old job was not paying me a fair percentage of what I was bringing in, negotiated and got this to a fair level but they refused to budge on PTO. They wanted...

    What to expect from Walden's PMHNP program?

    MentalKlarity replied to Kalibear17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yep!! I've seen the writing ability of people at these schools. Barely middle school level in some cases, certainly not doctorate or

    NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    To all NPs reading this, just ignore the noise and push for the highest salary you can. If we all refuse to settle for peanuts and getting taken advantage of, salaries will go up for everyone....

    The "Elite" NP

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

    "Those rich people would rather pay a doctor for that.” You seem to have a chip on your shoulder being an NP. You tell NPs to accept less money and now you just assume "rich people will always...

    Thank you for the detailed response. Again, I will give you two scenarios: 1. Susan is offered $100K with no vacation and a 50 hour work week. She declines - the clinic says fine and hires a...

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

    FullGlass -as a hiring manager I think you're a little biased. You keep saying "an NP who demands $200K will not be hired" - why is that? I will tell you why - because there is an NP willing to do it...

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

    There were women in the 50s who advocated that women should not be paid the same as men because men are inherently better, have a family to provide for etc etc. The arguments were similar to what...

    new job as a PMHNP

    Sounds like a private practice but losing a cut in exchange for staff. Likely a decent

    new job as a PMHNP

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

    Depends. Did they share with you what they are reimbursed for each patient? Is it 65% of the actual amount or of some amount they make up? Do you get other benefits like a secretary and scheduling and...

    Nurse Practitioners, New Grads especially, be realistic about compensation

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

    Have you ever stop to realize that if new grads accept peanuts for pay it will suppress ALL OF OUR SALARIES? You can say what you want about productivity, and learning, etc, but I would be MORE THAN...

    Nurse Practitioners, New Grads especially, be realistic about compensation

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

    Why are you on here trying to suppress NP pay? many NP salaries are pitiful. Using job boards to set your pay expectation means letting low salaries stay. Why are you so against letting NPs...

    NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    Well that I agree with, and the unfortunate truth is that within the next 10-20 years nurse practitioners will likely make less than they do now as lack of regulation by the nursing organizations has...

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

    You're very welcome! I agree, there is more to the picture than pay - flexibility and work-life balance are so important! In my case, I made it clear to my employer I needed generous paid and unpaid...

    NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    Of course! And yet my employer is still making a profit off of my services. Think about that when saying NP salaries should be close to the norm. The norm exists because so many people are bad...

    Psychiatry, a 75-25 split with my employer, which works out to be about $250-$300 per hour on average. 6 weeks paid vacation (paid at $200 an hour) and additional 4 weeks unpaid

    NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    Depends on how many patients you see per hour. If it's one, great. If it's 2+, you'd make more getting a share of the collections. It's not about what other NPs make, it's about are you making a fair...

    M-F AND every other weekend? Did you ever figure out your hourly pay, because it sounds like it would be very, very low. 40 patients a day, I cannot even imagine what you are pulling in

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

    Let me pop that bubble: Anyone who wanted to do the DNP route would just go the MD route. With those difficult classes added, nursing school could not make as much money as they do on the fluff...
