  1. How to Survive the Job Search

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The search for my first nursing job was hands down the most brutal, draining, demoralizing period of my life. After all the hard work of getting through school, with all the hopes and dreams that...

  2. How far would you drive?

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

    Im in a similar situation, we are moving to pa but the closest job I could find was 40 miles away. The road is not high traffic and its a pretty easy drive. I already spend over an hour commuting by...

  4. APRN role in specialty clinic

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

    if the attending wants to bill under his/her name (incident to) then the initial visit must be completed by the attending. If you are billing under your own name there is no reason you can't see the...

  5. Does anyone do medical writing?

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

    Goldenrod, you plan to write articles on the topic of your choice and then submit them for publication? I guess my first step would be getting my paper from school published... It was rejected from...

    JeanettePNP replied to dee789's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do not work in an ER but I did do clinical rotations in an ER so I will try to answer some of your questions. - What level ESIs do you see? Do you see only 4/5s? Or all acuities? As a student I only...

  7. The Story of Jahi Continues

    JeanettePNP replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    My thoughts exactly. There hasn't been any real break in this case for over a year. I'm also surprised she's held out as long as she has, but the family will do whatever they're gonna do. For people...

  8. Suturing

    JeanettePNP replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Advanced Practice

    We had a suturing workshop in NP school but I didn't have an opportunity to practice the skill in clinicals. During my ER rotation they mostly used glue. In my workplace suturing doesn't come

  9. Online Schools--Is it a "jungle out there"?

    JeanettePNP replied to Back2SchoolRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I got my first bachelor's through an online school, which I was then able to use to get into an accelerated nursing program (I did science pre-reqs at a brick-and-mortar). My experience with them was...

  13. First Job for New Grads

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

    My first job is in pediatric pulmonology. Pros: 1. an area where there's a lot of need (where I live has one of the highest rates of asthma in the country) and you can really see your work making a...

  14. Does any NP regret becoming one

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

    I don't regret becoming an NP but I sometimes regret my choice of specialty. I still feel that pediatrics is the best fit for me in terms of personality and aptitude, but I wish I had gone with a...

  15. NP starting salaries in the Capital region of NY

    JeanettePNP replied to Sha-Sha RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As a new grad RN I interviewed for a job in Albany Medical Center and the starting salary for an RN was about 50k, so 80k for an NP does not surprise

  16. New NP feeling so out of place in new job

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

    I have been working as an NP for about a year and a half. What you feel is completely normal. For a good six months I felt like I was play-acting. I checked everything with the MD. Now I check maybe 1...

  17. What is the best NP job you have seen???

    JeanettePNP replied to ickc22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is no single best NP job. The best job is the one that's the best fit for you. Sometimes you have to see the opportunities and use your job as a platform to get to where you want to be. You may...

  18. NP in Specialty

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

    I started out in a specialty straight from school. I don't think you ever need to be afraid to apply for a job even if you don't perfectly match the stated requirements. You don't know what the pool...

  19. Nurses who never worked in the hospital

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    Questions for nurses who never worked in a hospital but are currently working as RN's (or NPs). 1. Did you start out looking for a hospital job? If yes, for how long? 2. What made you decide to pursue...

  20. Am I really a NP if I do laser hair removal?

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

    I think it's telling that they hired an NP for the position and are paying you well for it. It must mean they want your skill and knowledge level for the job. As long as the job is giving you what...

  21. Adult-Gerontology NP versus Family NP

    JeanettePNP replied to ShannonE83's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't see any real advantage in doing AGNP over FNP, as I think the length of training is similar, maybe 1-2 extra semesters for FNP. I did PNP and I really am only interested in working with...

  22. Which specialty compensated the most financially?

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

    I think you are missing the point. You can choose any NP specialty and make a decent wage, provided that there are jobs available where you live and/or you are willing to move. I am a pediatric NP,...

  23. Which specialty compensated the most financially?

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

    If a person is headed for foreclosure it's more a sign of poor money management than a failure to choose the right NP track. If you live above your means you will be headed for foreclosure regardless...

  24. Am I too old?

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

    I finished my NP a year ago and I'm 40 now... I found a job within 3 months of graduation. People say I look younger than my age but I don't think it was a factor one way or the other. The doctor who...

  25. Best Stethoscope

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

    I work in pulmonology and I went ahead and bought the cardiology II to make sure I didn't miss any lung sounds. Honestly I haven't noticed a huge difference. It's not the stethoscope. Careful...
