  1. Earning potential

    JeanettePNP replied to JUSTanLPN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just an FYI for new grads and prospective students reading this thread. People reporting 200-500k salaries as nps are outliers. Most mds do not make that much. I'm not saying its impossible if you're...

  2. Are you interviewing for other positions?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What is the right answer for this job interview question? On the one hand you want them to know (or think) that you're in demand, that you're not just sitting around at home waiting for their call...

  3. Asked about salary expectations

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was caught off guard at a job interview when asked about salary expectations. I have never been asked this question before at a first interview. Anyway, I threw out a number that was on the high...

  4. Asked about salary expectations

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

    Thanks, Annaiya. Good to have a line prepared in case this question comes up again. He asked me to come to one of his other sites to see how the clinic runs, so hopefully if I show up and act...

  5. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    JeanettePNP replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had only one bad experience during clinicals with being treated disparagingly due to my status as an NP student. It was in a clinic based in a teaching hospital with many residents rotating in and...

  6. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    JeanettePNP replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Another point to add to what others said before. If you have a hankering for more knowledge, nothing is stopping you from picking up medical-school level textbooks and educating yourself. I find that...

  7. NPs currently working in Peds

    JeanettePNP replied to Stroudry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To echo what Annaiya said, it really depends on where you are. In more rural areas, FNP's may be preferred because there may not be enough peds patients to make an exclusively pediatric practice. But...

  8. I ignored my instincts...

    JeanettePNP replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in General Nursing

    My classmates in school were like this... don't bother saying hello if you're not from the same clique, and forget about asking about an assignment or clarifiction of something said in class. At first...

  9. Work setting for PNP's

    JeanettePNP replied to RDHtoDNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The acute care specialty is relatively new and many older pnps don't have it. Some hospitals will hire pnp's with primary care cert and then pay for their education to get acute care. However, it is...

  10. Conversation with my kids this morning

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This morning I had the following conversation with my kids (ages 5 and 3): "Mommy, why are you dressed up?" "I'm going on a job interview." "Why do you go to job interviews?" "You meet with people and...

  11. Feeling Like a Real Dirtbag...

    JeanettePNP replied to westieluv's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't understand -- you don't have sick days? Used them all up? Used too many in too short a

  12. Dr refuse to sign accommodations for NCLEX.

    JeanettePNP replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I know we all have different learning styles but spending too much time on a question can be just as bad as spending too little time. They give you six hours, and I know personally after 6 hours my...

  13. Pediatric Neurology Nurse Practicioner

    JeanettePNP replied to Mnstn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did a clinical rotation in pediatric neurology as part of my PNP program. There is no specific master's or concentration in pediatric neurology. You go for a pediatric nurse practitioner and try to...

  14. Conversation with my kids this morning

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Amen.

  15. How do women feel about pts that only want female RN's?

    JeanettePNP replied to hodgieRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    I find it interesting that females refuse males due to modesty issues but not so much the other way around. What would happen if males would say they didn't feel comfortable with the hot young female...

  16. NP current and future job perspective

    JeanettePNP replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wish you the best of luck, but keep in mind that it's difficult to predict the job market 2-3 years in advance. When I started nursing school they were still touting the nursing shortage and there...

  17. NP current and future job perspective

    JeanettePNP replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As a new grad np I'm getting many more interviews than I ever did as a new grad RN. I'm even getting unsolicited calls com people who saw my résumé posted online. No job offers yet but I hope that...

  18. Job interview and offers

    JeanettePNP replied to lynn5707's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Non compete clauses make sense in healthcare because what's stopping you from leaving and taking your patients with

  19. Grades

    JeanettePNP replied to hemoglobin11's topic in General Students

    I graduated with 3.85 from nursing school and 3.89 from grad school. Guess what... nobody cares. There were people with much lower averages who got jobs, and people like me who did not get jobs....

  20. Afghani MD now a PA and NP

    JeanettePNP replied to MeganNY's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When I was doing my ER rotation there was a Bengali md working as a pct! She had plans to get her RN and then np. But for all that she felt better off in the

  21. If you are an advocate for natural birth/homebirth with CNM

    JeanettePNP replied to hardworkinmama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It depends on how birth friendly the hospital is and how rigid their rules are, and how much youre able to set aside your personal philosophy to care for your patients. My midwife went into home...

  22. from Family NP to Pediatric NP?

    JeanettePNP replied to Papoya's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you are an FNP you are qualified to work with peds. If you want to work in a nicu then you'd need certification as an

  23. Question about my pediatric rotation?

    JeanettePNP replied to baluesunlight's topic in General Students

    In many hospitals, newborns who are readmitted do not go to the NICU regardless of age, but into the regular pediatric ward. The youngest patient I saw during my peds rotation was 2 weeks

  24. Super Obese

    JeanettePNP replied to anotherone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't have time or energy to debate this, the way I look at it is this: I know I have some unhealthy eating habits. I eat fatty and/or sugary foods every day. I don't exercise nearly enough. Yet my...

  25. Share your Job Fair experience...

    JeanettePNP replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I have not had good experiences with job fairs. I attend anyway to do my due diligence and not leave any stone unturned. But seeing the long lines of job seekers and unfriendly, condescending...
