    NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    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...

    Four Patients Per Hour And Time Based Billing

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

    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...

    Quit First NP Job Without Notice

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

    The idea that someone’s WORK should come before being there for a dying family member is laughable to me. I’m sorry, reschedule patients, it’s outpatient, they’ll be fine. There’s no chance...

    Berxi Malpractice?

    MentalKlarity posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Looking for a new malpractice company and Berxi is coming up as like $400 a year. Most others are $1,000+. Is Berxi legit and usually that cheap or did I do something wrong?

    For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    MentalKlarity replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Um - NP education was never meant to replace medical school, this is correct....but let's not kid ourselves that they ever intended it to be 500 clinical hours at schools that accept anyone with a...

    For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    MentalKlarity replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ya'll are missing the point on the hard sciences thing. It's not about learning and memorizing those advanced concepts because they are directly helpful for patient care...it's that proving you CAN...

    Chamberlain University FNP Student

    MentalKlarity replied to Guest1030824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I mean, this is not news. Chamberlain basically behaves similar to a diploma mill. I called once (as a joke) just to see what it was like and the lady on the phone basically acted like a sales person...

    For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    MentalKlarity replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think nursing leaders are playing the short term gain game of more NPs = more money for them through testing and accreditation and licensing so I don’t know if they care. I have had...

    Independent Contractor (1099) NP Pay

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

    You are a PMHNP? Most of us make around $120-$150 WITH full benefits. For independent contractor I would imagine $200 per hour minimum. Paying your own insurance, PTO, retirement without...

    Plenty of in state programs are that cheap. And a lot more reputable than these online diploma mills. But they often require tests and references and interviews and actual selectivity and so many...

    Chronicles of a VA APRN Resident

    Is there a way we could possibly get a “NP Residency & Fellowship” - they are becoming more popular and I feel a dedicated sub forum on here could be

    For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    MentalKlarity replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My unpopular opinion: NP school is "soft" on hard sciences because half of nurse practitioner students would fail out, nursing schools would have to be more selective, and their cash cow funds would...

    MentalKlarity replied to Guest1030824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    4000 NP grads a year from chamberlain LOL! They are basically single handedly responsible for flooding the NP market (along with Walden) and those two schools make up a substantial chunk...

    Chronicles of a VA APRN Resident

    MentalKlarity replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's a totally different experience. No, NP school does not do a good job preparing students for practice - PAs and Medical Students are terrified and fumble for months in residency/first jobs and...

    How long are appts? I had burnout when I had 20 min appts. I switched to 30+ min follow ups and 60 min intakes and capped at 10 patients or so a day. Made a huge

    Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

    One or two years helps just with being comfortable in a hospital, recognizing what certain things look like and how patients present. It helps later for you to be able to connect the dots and say...

    Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

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

    Depends on their negotiating ability. I regularly make more than colleagues because I refuse to accept pay below what I am worth while many others are willing to take first offers. Always

    Reference Recommendation

    MentalKlarity replied to TheFuture09's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is the correct answer. It's a small little ring or spiral bound book that basically has a quick reference for every common primary care problem with name, stats, exams and tests/labs that should...
