  1. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

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

    Honestly, how can an np make $100 an hour if insurance will reimburse only $40 per visit? Ppl pay more for a

  2. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

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

    I find it interesting that some NPs are reporting higher than average incomes for MDs in their

  3. Primary care problem in specialty

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Let's say you are working in a specialty and a patient presents with a complaint that is outside that specialty. Let's assume the problem is straightforward and something you have experience...

  4. Primary care problem in specialty

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

    Good point about follow up, although some chronic kids are in the specialist's office more than their PCP. Weird about the OB referring a patient back for a runny nose -- I think I'd trust an OB...

  5. Little experience as an RN

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

    This may be true that more research is needed. However, the research that HAS been done to date does not bear out your claim that NP's without RN experience were inadequate compared to NP's with...

  6. Which NP specialty to choose, and how long should I wait to go onto my NP?

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

    Do you choose your specialty, or does your specialty choose you? My choice of pediatrics was based on a number of factors. I was an older student in the nursing program and the only one with...

  7. NPs with no RN experience: How'd you do?

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

    Actually as of this month I am full time! Yay! I wouldn't say he's constantly looking over my shoulder. But he does read my charts and say, "patient X really needs to be on a daily ICS" or something...

  8. NPs with no RN experience: How'd you do?

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

    I was a new grad who started an NP position in a specialty without having RN experience. I am also the first NP to be hired by this doctor. Is it the ideal situation? No. But it's a tight job market...

  9. New NP mistake

    JeanettePNP replied to jamiejo05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had a similar experience... I was presenting a peds neuro patient to an attending and I was asked if I saw venous pulsations. I said no. Then she asked me if venous pulsations are normal and I...

  10. How to get off the floor

    JeanettePNP replied to OCRN3's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but that is just not the direction where nursing is heading. There simply are not enough floor nursing jobs to go around. See that long line of new grad nurses desperately looking for acute...

  11. Getting an interview. This is harder than i thought..

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

    I didn't have a difficult time getting interviews. I got a call back for just about every resume I submitted. However, most of the interviews did not lead to offers of employment. I don't know if it...

  12. Sleep medicine ARNP's?

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

    I'm in peds pulmonology and we do a good amount of sleep medicine. I actually like counseling parents on bedtime issues, but I think I'd be bored out of my mind if sleep medicine was all I

  13. How long to stay in first job?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How long did you stay in your first job? I started working in my first NP job about 6 months ago. It was not easy finding a job with no experience and I feel I owe it to my employer to stick with him...

  14. How long to stay in first job?

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

    There was no pretense involved, I knew it might take this long. I'm just impatient. OTOH when I was a struggling unemployed new grad I always swore I wouldn't shoot our profession in the foot by...

  16. How long to stay in first job?

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

    Thanks for the feedback. I've thought about it and it's in a specialty I like with a lot of room for growth and career development, so i'm staying put for now and doing what I can on my end to grow...

  17. IV certification in the state of New York

    JeanettePNP replied to odiecoffey's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't think there are any legal requirements for certification provided you have the training and skills in IV insertion and chemotherapy. I would be very worried about administering chemotherapy at...

  20. What type of papers in NP school?

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

    Each semester we had about 5 case studies to present about a patient we saw during clinicals. There were also weekly discussion questions that we did online, you had to prepare an answer of about 3-5...

  21. Election day in the hospital

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    What happens when a patient is hospitalized on election day? How do they exercise their right to vote? Do they bring the voting booths to the hospital? Can you give any assistance to the patients with...

  22. Election day in the hospital

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I remember being in a LTC on election day and booths being set up in the dining room, but that makes sense as it's the patient's primary residence. I guess when your catchment area is large it's not...

  23. NPs with no RN experience: How'd you do?

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

    I am an NP who had no RN experience when I graduated. It was not by choice. I went back for my master's only after spending six months fruitlessly searching for an RN job. I know (in retrospect) that...

  24. craigslist?...Am I crazy?

    JeanettePNP replied to procrastinator911's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I applied to a few jobs through CL but never heard back. What DID help me was posting my resume on indeed.com. A doctor contacted me, we interviewed, and the rest is

  25. I failed to show up for an interview!!! I feel so dumb!

    JeanettePNP replied to nikkole318's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was once 30 minutes late for an interview due to writing down the time wrong... I actually was 10 minutes "early" (according to when I thought the interview was) but I didn't want to disturb anyone...
