    I am originally from MI and I would like to move back to the area (being able to buy a house for I have 1 year NP

  2. Nurse practitioner job market in Detroit area?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks, I did look up hospital websites but there were very few listings for NP, let alone pediatric NP. I would even consider doing bedside nursing but I'd probably have to take a 40% pay cut...

  3. How many ARNPs get administrative time?

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

    In the beginning when I started this job my patient load was lighter and I had plenty of time to catch up on charting. Now my load has gotten heavier so I am perpetually behind. Also on of the main...

  4. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    If you'd like to see NP education more similar to MD education, then where do you draw the line? What should be included, what shouldn't be included? All the premed requirements? All the med school...

  5. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    It's a fine line here. What level of training or education do you need to provide quality healthcare? What should be the scope of practice for an NP vs PA vs MD? Can anyone learn to do anything...

  6. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    This. I have worked my way through embryology, histology and biochemistry textbooks on my own -- not because they were a requirement for my program but because I felt I needed this to broaden and...

  7. The coveted Monday thru Friday job

    JeanettePNP replied to LTCNS's topic in General Nursing

    I work 6 days a week and it is insane. 4 hours Sunday (but I never get out after 4 hours -- more like 5 or 6), 8 hours monday, 6 hours Tues, 10 hours wed, 6 hours Thurs, 4-5 hours Friday. Not only...

  8. How did you land your first NP job?

    JeanettePNP replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My employer contacted me through indeed.com and asked me to come for an interview. I started out part time and went to full time after 6 months. Now I run my own office! (We just opened a satellite...

    JeanettePNP replied to NPmimzy75's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Start by keeping a spreadsheet of all your billing codes each day. Then do research to find out how much insurances pay for those codes. Then you have a sense of how much revenue you are

  10. How many patients are you expected to see daily?

    JeanettePNP replied to URGR8T's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How do you fit charting into your day if you're seeing 4-5 patients an hour? I see far fewer than that and I'm always playing

  11. Honor Societies

    JeanettePNP replied to olvr00's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was invited to join sigma theta tau in nursing school. I paid dues the first year as a student. I didn't find it made a difference one way or the other during my job search, and didn't feel the...

  12. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

    Now that you got us curious.... What did the echo

  13. Requiring Bedside Experience for NP

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

    I think it's similar to the question of whether you need CNA experience to become an RN, or paramedic experience to work in an ER. Sure, it's helpful, and those who go into school with that experience...

  14. Please Wish Me Luck

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

    Things sound like they are looking up for you if you keep scoring interviews. I know it's hard not to go into an interview as a nervous wreck when so much is riding on it. But appearing calm,...

    Hey, it's bad enough when we have to deal with those psychos in the

  16. Giving A Family Member An Injection

    JeanettePNP replied to WanderLust07's topic in Canada

    I give allergy shots and I often have parents ask if they can give the injections at home rather than come to the office every week. The reasons we do not allow it are 1. There is a protocol to follow...

  17. Most topics here non-clinical knowledge ones

    JeanettePNP replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think it just reflects the nature of social message boards. It is quicker to dash off a post about the co-worker that annoys you than to write a quality article on a patient care or pathophys issue....

  18. What area of nursing can you spend a lot of time talking/working with patients

    JeanettePNP replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse practitioner! I work with kids with asthma and most of what I do is patient education and medication management. When patients learn to use their medications correctly and their asthma is under...

  19. Nurses who never worked in the hospital

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I do not know if I'm one of the "exceptional few." You do what you gotta do... I would have happily worked bedside if I had been given that opportunity. Since I wasn't, I took an alternate route and...

  21. Nurses who never worked in the hospital

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I compare it to going to college without going to HS first. Yes, if you're smart you can catch up, but you'll always be missing out on the experience. As for moonlighting in a PICU... yes, I've...

  22. What Are The Most Creative Call-off Excuses You Have Heard?

    JeanettePNP replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Depending on where you work and how soon before your shift you call off, you may be inconveniencing many people and it just seems plain inconsiderate to call off without a good

  24. Nurses who never worked in the hospital

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Like you, I also had a bad attitude in the beginning. In my case I looked for a hospital job for 6 months and then applied to an NP program. I got into an excellent school but I wasn't...

  25. Nurses who never worked in the hospital

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Not for research. Just for opening discussion on the directions a nursing career can take without hospital experience. Maybe to give hope to people who have been looking unsuccessfully for a hospital...
