Are they going to give you training on HCC coding. This is the biggest reason they are willing to pay NPs to do these health risk assessments. That is not something I learned in school but did learn it from a variety of insurance companies I have w...

Are there any jobs in your area to work with Physical medicine. My experience is that pays well and with your experience doing trigger point injections that may be a good fit for you. In AZ that pays pretty well.

Have you checked out Care More in Vegas? I worked for Care More in Phoenix and sadly they left the market but I got excellent training and I learned a lot. It is disease management so you do annual wellness visits as well as wound care, coumadin ma...

i have been told that hospice nursing is harder for those with less experience in life. Dealing with end of life issues can be very stressful in its own way. Even with a more expected death it does not make it easy. Just my 2 cents. I worked for...

Their schooling may not be very long but their skills are definitely comparable having worked in both the US and Canada.

It would also help to work in a hospital that has tuition reimbursement. They paid for about $10,000 of my tuition and my whole BSN. It really helps.

To VICEDRN, I know this is an old thread but I recently changed jobs. I had two premiums this month drawn on Oct 3 and Oct 17 pay checks and my last day was Oct 17. They took out my premium on Oct 17 and told me my benefits would be cut off that da...

What company does this? I live in the Greater Phoenix area and might be interested in something like this as well.

Jenniferm1023, Do you like the company Matrix Medical? I noticed there are a lot of negative posts on glass door about this company's management but they are large and may not apply to the NP positions doing health risk assessments. So I was just w...

Click on "Cardiology EP NP" in her post which will take you to the next screen where you will see SEND PM and then you can have a private message conversation.

Unless things have dramatically changed I don't think it is true you have to use your TN that quickly but you just might if you already have an employer that is willing to give you a job. And you can start the visa screen process even before you tak...

I definitely think NPs are treated more like a professional. It may depend on your setting but I am currently working with 3 male doctors who are all amazing!!!! and one female NP. It is a nice change to leave high school behind....

Well I already consider myself lucky Tim but now even more so. I dont even have NP experience nor Palliative Care experience but I guess I impressed HR, and kept showing interest even though I did not get hired initially. But apparently Palliative ...

Canadians dont actually need sponsorship just an offer letter that allows them to get a TN visa which is usually not a problem for most employers.

Yes I graduated there. What do you want to know?

One good news for this poster is that Texas has a great economy. I get emails from recruiters ALL the time from Texas. I would think with some persistence you may be able to get your wish if you come in contact with the right recruiter. I know tha...

Wish I even had job offers....working on an Ortho Trauma floor as a nurse almost a year after NP school is getting old.

Wrong in two ways...you should always assess the IV before giving antibiotics...I have encountered many IVs that were not patent even though documented as WNL from the previous shift or even just prior to starting my shift...when they are not. So sh...

You are describing the same situation I am going through exactly!!!! I was told this time of year is harder in my area anyway...and hopefully things will improve in the fall. I had to wait until now to start looking...its complicated... and now am ...

I am finding out more than even your experience as an RN is....NETWORKING!!!! Get to know the doctors depending on where you want to work as an NP. I was not aware of that when I was in school. Plus work days...as that way people know you. One of...

I started around your age as well and didnt want to wait it out in Canada and get on a waiting list etc...so ended up going to get my LPN in the US in Washington State in 2003 when they just first starting doing BSN only in BC. Then I got into a sec...

From what I understand the unemployment rate in Texas is very low compared to other parts of the US. If you PM me I can forward you some of the emails I have received from recruiters/employers that have contacted me recently. It seems Texas is defi...

The EB2 Philippines category is current as per the May 2013 bulletin. But you would have to be current at the time you are ready to apply. You can check the Visa Bulletin around the 10th of every month to see how things change. This months bulle...

I would look around a bit more before making a decision. Seems like there are a lot of opportunities. I myself am looking now as well. I actually graduated last August but due to my immigration situation am not able to start until that gets resol...

I think that is true for nurses but as an NP I think you might have more opportunities. Hang in there....
