I was wondering if any NP's had any ideas to look for jobs in Healthcare Insurance that could be done from home. In specific I am looking for the ability to be able to coach the insurance members for good health habits.

I wish my professors had told me that I would hate my first year. I started January 2016 & suffered a nervous breakdown in August. I am now struggling to figure out how I am going to go back. I am hoping they will move me from family practice to urgent care. I previously worked in the ER as an RN. I am hoping it will be a better fit. I found I could not handle the complex comorbidities patients & it threw me into severe anxiety.The situation with my collaborator was not good, she was not available to mentor me as I had expected. One thing I learned from this- make sure your collaborator doesn't work part time while you are working full time. Make sure they want to mentor you.

I found that in a 12 hr shift I walked between 3 & 7 miles. It depended on how busy we were.

I wanted to get some perspective on any FNP's who went from a RN to NP role in the same ED? Was there any resistance from the staff, nursing or medical? How do you create the role if there hasn't been any NP's in the ED where you work. We will be getting NP's at some time, they say July, but the administrators haven't interviewed any NP's yet. I am just finishing my first year of FNP graduate school. I still have 2 more years, so we should have the NP role pretty well fleshed out by the time I graduate. I have been a RN for 29 years, 22 yrs in the Emergency Dept. There have been some, how should I say this?, disagreements with fellow RN's while working side by side with them. I am apprehensive that when I become a NP, there will be some resistance from my fellow nurses, when I become the one who is giving orders for patient care. I dislike conflict, don't we all?, what experiences have you had, how have you handled any similar situations?
