  1. Monetary Consequences for Quitting a Job In Your Contract?

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

    This is very interesting to hear. My first NP job required a 90 day notice. My current job requires 60 days. And my part time job requires 60 days. This is all in South Mississippi where there is a...

  2. Monetary Consequences for Quitting a Job In Your Contract?

    Bumashes posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi All! I was recently asked if it is normal to have monetary consequences for quitting your job written into your work contract. Such as, "If you don't finish out a 90 day notice, then you will owe...

  3. How to get ahold of my darn Medicare/Medicaid ID numbers

    Bumashes posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    So, I've spent a year in miserable employment at an outpt internal med clinic that is community based and have finally gotten offers for jobs that I will actually like AND get paid a little bit for....

  4. How to get ahold of my darn Medicare/Medicaid ID numbers

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Advanced Practice

    In case anyone is interested, I was able to call Medicaid directly and get my number. Medicare was somewhat more difficult because they won't just give it over the phone, but they can fax it to you....

  5. Totally Gross! Had to share...

    Bumashes posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok. So my pt was a slightly demented, whiny, demanding, drug-abusing female in her 70's. She's very strange. She can be very sweet and then turn nutso on you in less than a second. Anyway, I...

  6. Adventures in the McDonald's drive-through...

    Bumashes posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. Yesterday I started work before I went to work. Didn't have anything for breakfast at home, so I decided to go to McDonald's on the way. I left my house early. Whe I got there, there were no...

  7. Adult-Gerontology NP versus Family NP

    Bumashes replied to ShannonE83's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah, you just really have to go with what you're interested in. And if you're undecided, then I'd go with FNP, just so you don't end up stuck if you change your mind. In my area, ERs and Urgent...

  8. Adult-Gerontology NP versus Family NP

    Bumashes replied to ShannonE83's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's how places around in my area do. They may list FNP, but they accept AGNP. We can see down to age 13, so we're not too severely limited. But it's what YOU want to end up doing really. I don't...

  9. Adult-Gerontology NP versus Family NP

    Bumashes replied to ShannonE83's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I never wanted to see peds. EVER. So I went with AGNP. FNP and AGNP are exactly the same lengths of time to complete, but in the AGNP you get more in depth education on adult and geriatric medicine to...

  10. Level of comfort in practice?

    Bumashes replied to vegnurse21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went to the USA AGNP program, and I will say that if I didn't have my medsurg and ER nursing experience then I would have felt lost at sea when I started as an NP. The NP schooling felt more like...

  11. Passed both AANP and ANCC for AGNP

    Bumashes posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi all, Just wanted to put this out there for those interested parties. I graduated from USA's Adult/Geron Primary Care NP program Dec 2013, and I have taken and passed both the AANP and the ANCC...

  12. Passed both AANP and ANCC for AGNP

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've had about 8 interviews so far. Phone and face to face both. I got offered 3 of the positions but had to decline due to family issues or just a weird feeling about the place (Example: my husband...

  13. FamilyNPPrep Test Scores

    Bumashes replied to FSUandOUnursegrad's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Those tests are crap. Myself and many of my classmates bought them, and then we requested refunds because of how ridiculously stupid they were. I am a recent AGNP grad, and I passed both the ANCC and...

  14. Beware of VES (Veterans Evaluation Services)

    Bumashes replied to eeeee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dang, I hate that for you. It's so hard to see through some of these sneaky companies. Makes me even more glad of my decision to involve a lawyer in any contract I sign with. Thanks for the heads up,...

  15. Know any Oncology NP reviews or resources?

    Thank

  16. Know any Oncology NP reviews or resources?

    Bumashes posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey to all, Just found out the other day that when I graduate this December, I will be employed as an Oncology NP! So that in itself is pretty super. I have a particular hatred of cancer, so I will...

  17. Stooopid

    Bumashes replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    Hmmmm...let's see For today, I give you: -Woman with two $100 bills stuffed in her hooha. This was discovered while doing a catheter. She was unconcerned... -Elderly woman who grabbed my male...

  18. Need opinions on workload

    Bumashes replied to BBrinkerhoff's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And sometimes I think they advise against it because I suppose it DOES help them with their graduation percentages if only people who aren't working or are otherwise distracted are attending their...

  19. Need opinions on workload

    Bumashes replied to BBrinkerhoff's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As long as you recognize your own limits. I work fulltime and do class and clinicals fulltime as well. No kids here either, but I do have a disabled husband I care for. I'm doing fine, and I'll...

  20. How exactly can I convince my preceptor to hire me? LOL!

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, in between classes and clinicals, I am trying to find info on reimbursement and NP/MD relationships and whatnot so I can perhaps be somewhat better prepared than just walking blindly in. I plan...

  21. How exactly can I convince my preceptor to hire me? LOL!

    Bumashes posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So I will graduate this year as an NP, and I am curious about something. You see, my preceptor and I get along wonderfully, and she has mentioned/alluded to/etc that she would actually hire me if she...

  22. How exactly can I convince my preceptor to hire me? LOL!

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks! I know it will probably be difficult navigating through with no experience with NPs and all, but with the way the job market is here, well, I'll take it anyway. Especially since I already...

  23. Has anyone went off and did their own clinical time?

    Bumashes replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So why not do what I do? I finished the required hours in primary care last semester (180), and then did some Inpatient Int Med. They have told me that after I finish my semester hours I can do...

  24. Best RN Experience for FNP Program

    Bumashes replied to prajwala's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I left a med/surg/tele floor after a few years for the ER because of the possible help it would be for NP school. We serve about 70% under/uninsured, so many many primary care cases come through our...

  25. RN-BSN or RN-MSN?

    Bumashes replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    All of the programs for ADN-MSN in my area obtain the BSN during the program. I'm doing the one at USA, and I got my BSN during the first year of the RN-MSN track. I took 5 Bachelor's level courses...
