I had Berxi malpractice coverage for years as an RN and they were great for me, I currently am using CMF&G for my NP because they had the coverage I was looking for.

I'm interested in hearing about any cardiology NP's also, I worked in a cardiac cath lab for many years as an RN, my first job out of NP school is in physical medicine and pain management and I hate it, I interviewed for a hospital rounding cardiology gig and they said they are drafting a contract for me to review now! YAY!! cant wait to get back to cardiology but as an NP also a little scared but I feel confident in my assessment skills. I did a heavy cardiology rotation as an NP student with an awesome cardiology group which included hospital rounding and I loved it, I moved away because I got married after I completed my schooling otherwise that cardiology group would have taken me straight out of school and I wished it wasnt so far away or I would be working there, so I will be looking for advice also

I agree about pain management being a new grad trap, I am a new grad working in pain management and I hate it so much I've only been there 4 months and seeing 25-32 patients per day, I have had patients swear at me if I won't increase their meds, which I won't, grab me etc. It's a complete nightmare and I hate it. I have alot of cardiology background as an RN and was hoping to find a cardiology NP job but that didn't happen. So a job was posted that wanted 2 years cardiac NP experience to round 2 local hospitals, I applied anyway and they are currently writing me up a contract for my review and said they would be happy to have me. I was honest and told them why I hate what I am currently doing in pain management and how much I love cardiology and am comfortable in the inpatient setting as I worked in cath labs and ICU for most of my 15 year nursing career so just keep applying to other jobs and you'll find one and can bounce from pain management. I can't wait to write my resignation and never have to go to that clinic again the patients are complete nightmares, some are OK but majority is not and owner is all about the numbers to make money off me the pay sucks and I get no benefits at all so its no loss for me to leave. Half of the patients asked me when I started there if I was going to stay because they have had several mid-levels there I found out most all of them left without notice and I can see why after being threatened and grabbed by patients. They had 5 providers leave in 3 years so now add me to the list as soon as my contract comes through I am out the door, however I will be giving notice as I am a professional but I can see how the others left in a hurry.

I've been in pain management as a new grad NP for only a few months and I completely hate it and the patients are a nightmare as well as the front end staff, my physician collaborator is very experienced however he runs 5 offices and I am on my own for the most part. I have been grabbed by patients who won't answer my questions and just want a refill on narcotics and been threatened to watch my back by patients, I even had a patient as me for 240 pills instead of the 120 they currently get which I said no, I am not a push over but its stressful and I am forced to see 30 patients per day its just not worth it even though the hours are flexible, for me I would rather be back in a hospital being yelled at by physicians then deal with this BS, I have been doing nothing but applying to jobs and recently got offered a hospital rounding job with a multi-specialty group for cardiology consults and when not enough patients are for cardiology admitting internal medicine patients for a physician group who rounds 2 of my local hospitals, I am just waiting on the contract to get the hell out of the pain management drama, some of the patients are lovely and legit but some of the others I would rather stab my own eye out then continue to see them. I feel akward and bad for wanting to leave a job only after a few months but I come home crying each day I don't think I can manage to stick it out so I agree that pain management sucks, I know patients need help but they turn into raged drug addicts and I don't want to feel like a drug dealer I want to be a resepcted clinician that I was educated for. I used to work in cardiac cath lab as an RN and in clinical trials so even though I am a little scared of cardiology rounds I think it will be much better suited for my background and to help me continue to grow and learn as an NP
