  1. Why do you/ would you like precepting?

    JeanettePNP replied to Junebug0710's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had mostly wonderful preceptor relationships, and two that were not so wonderful. The ones who were great inspire me to be more like them and to give over what I learned to students. The ones who...

  2. Anxiety over in-person job interview

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

    I know that getting a job is the only real cure for "depression" brought on by job search stress. Still, I think you should see a therapist to help you through the process. He or she can help you with...

  3. Anxiety over in-person job interview

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

    There are never any guarantees in life but a hopeful, optimistic attitude will get you farther in your job search than a self-defeating one. Go with confidence! They are interested enough to pay your...

  4. Salary for New Primary Care PNP

    JeanettePNP replied to tussah10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    $2600 for office staff? Are you kidding me? Minimum wage is about $12000 and office staff makes a bit more than that (I hope). You are absolutely correct that a practice that primarily treats...

  5. Salary for New Primary Care PNP

    JeanettePNP replied to tussah10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I guess if the majority of your clientele has private insurance... More like $30 for 99213 and $50 for 99214 for the Medicaid

  6. Salary for New Primary Care PNP

    JeanettePNP replied to tussah10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How do you figure $120k in revenue? What do you collect per

  7. Does how much money we make and benefits really matter

    JeanettePNP replied to clarinets's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, the people in the lower pay rungs do most of the work that keeps society running from day to day. I once read an article where someone made an observation that the CEO can take an extended 2...

  8. Does how much money we make and benefits really matter

    JeanettePNP replied to clarinets's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really think there is a strong correlation between pay and benefits, and work ethic. At every pay level you will find enthusiastic workers and lazy workers, and that goes from housekeepers to...

  9. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    A PNP with primary care certification would have to do the same

  10. PNP or FNP for increased job opportunities?

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

    I'm not going to argue over "who knows more," but strictly in terms of qualifications and job opportunities, FNP does seem to give you the most bang for your buck. A FNP can legally do whatever a PNP,...

  11. The death of nursing

    JeanettePNP replied to massrn116's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hear, hear. I graduated as a BSN eager to work in a hospital and help patients. I never rejected bedside nursing... bedside rejected me. Fortunately I was able to get my master's and found a job as an...

  12. Absolutely ridiculous... You can keep your 4 hours

    JeanettePNP replied to HeartRN13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So how does this work? You're expected to commit your time to the hospital and then not get paid for it? It's not like you can really plan to do anything else for those 12 hours not knowing if you'll...

  13. What to wear to job interview???

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

    That's exciting news! Are you a pmhnp? I thought you were an FNP. Im the last person to give fashion advice but choose a conservative outfit, you can't go wrong. If you can get your hair styled...

  14. Do recruiters even read your resume?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have my resume posted on a number of job sites. I cannot tell you how many times I've gotten emails from recruiters saying "We have this job that we believe will be a perfect fit for you!" when it...

  15. Seasoned FNP tell me the truth....

    JeanettePNP replied to jaznia15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    $70,000 is VERY nice money if you live in a small town (depending on how many children you have). I would definitely take this job for a few years to get experience. Then you will have so many more...

  16. Am I crazy to plan a wedding going into my final MSN semester?

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

    I agree with other posters that if both mothers can't make it, do a pre- or post-wedding party in the other location so both sides of the family can

  17. First job but no prescribing

    JeanettePNP replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You might not get prescription skills but you will develop very good assessment skills -- you dont' want to miss anything that might put a patient at risk during surgery. Whether or not to take the...

  19. Meely-Mouthed Recruiters

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

    I will add that I had one out-of-state trip arranged (and paid for) by a recruiter and it was as you describe -- weeks of back and forth (after telling me that they were interested in flying me out...

  20. Meely-Mouthed Recruiters

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

    I know it's hard to hold on to hope when things seem hopeless... but this may indeed be the opportunity you were looking for. Don't be so quick to dampen your hopes by telling yourself that nobody...

  21. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

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

    Guess again. The mds I work with are are professionals who value my skills and abilities just as I value theirs. Honestly you're coming across as silly and ill informed and, in typical troll style,...

  22. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

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

    Nomad, I wouldn't go that route. I have no problem acknowledging that med school curriculum is more rigorous than the typical NP program. As an NP the important thing is to recognize what you know and...

  23. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

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

    The issue at hand is not "knowledge," it's the ability to give good patient care. That is the only relevant metric for the purposes of this thread, and the evidence amply demonstrates that NP's do...

  24. Salary vs Productivity Pay

    JeanettePNP replied to hutch304's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To those of you with productivity bonuses: how do you calculate

  25. Salary vs Productivity Pay

    JeanettePNP replied to hutch304's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think $100k is out of the ballpark for a new grad, depending on where you're
