  1. Psychiatric nurse practitioner pay

    NPvampire replied to Etgentile's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  2. Burn out in psychiatry

    NPvampire replied to rr0416's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow….I get 20 min fups, 30 min transfers and 60 min new evals. And we’re still getting lectures about being productive. We also have a huge substance abuse comorbidity population and I’m...

    NPvampire replied to Etgentile's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow I would love to know where everyone gets these salaries that isn't coastal California. I'm pmhnp who was in psych 6 years before going to grad school. I'm in the deep south, and suburban to the...

  4. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

    NPvampire replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow. People are talking about NP residencies only paying 80k per year. Where y'all live-- cause I've been working for 7 years in PHMNP in public health no less and it took 7 years to get above 80k....

  5. What's the least saturated specialty in APRN?

    NPvampire replied to soljhs's topic in Advanced Practice

    Wooow. Thank you. Yes, I have been eyeballing New Mexico and AZ for years, in fact, I am attempting to learn Spanish to be more marketable. But unfortunately my family won't move at this stage. My...

  6. I walked out of a job fair after being Reminded why I left the southeast

    NPvampire replied to Tony1790's topic in Advanced Practice

    In Georgia we can only prescribe c3-5. And our salaries suck. Hour per hour I make as much as a teacher with the same exp, degree, etc. This is outside ATL

  7. PMHNP compensation and benefits Southeast

    NPvampire replied to srleslie's topic in Advanced Practice

    Da#n I work in suburban ATL and I don't make that after seven years. I am so ready to

  8. What's the least saturated specialty in APRN?

    NPvampire replied to soljhs's topic in Advanced Practice

    Ah, don't go into psychiatry for the money. It won't last. And in my state--which has NO autonomy at all-- it's taken me seven YEARS to get to my piddly salary that barely grazes 100. To put it in...

  9. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    NPvampire replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  10. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    NPvampire replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Starting a business depends on your state's autonomy, too. Here, you can't start your own business to work independently, nor can you just pay a doctor to oversee your charts. The doctor has to be...

  11. Any NPs working for the VA?

    NPvampire replied to NPAlby's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ugh, guys, I'm turning green! I'm psych NP with 5 years NP and 11 years total nursing. I am so ready to move to AZ!!! Our state is one of the worst in the union for autonomy and the pay shows it...

  12. NP Salary vs. RN salary

    NPvampire replied to Health-Nut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on your specialty, and your state. In my state, we have very restricted NP practice. I have had offers ranging from $30 hour W2 no benefits!! to $65 after 5 years experience and that is...

  13. DEA licenses in more than one state?

    NPvampire replied to lellomere's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wanted to add - the type of DEA that you can get by working for your state/public health, etc (the "free" one) cannot be used in any other setting or employer, same state or

  14. Interview this week in Acute Adult Psychiatric Unit!

    NPvampire replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Psychiatric

    I've been in psych for 11 years now, going strong. #1 if you've ever read harry potter, "constant vigilance!" Never forget where you are or why the patients are there. They did not get to the...

  15. Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

    NPvampire replied to prettywishes's topic in General Students

    I'm like that also, shy, and tend to isolate. Our pre-nursing orientation blabbed about how what great friends we'd become, solidarity. Right. I would not have been surprised to see one slit...

  16. My classmates using Test Banks in Nursing school

    NPvampire replied to HalfBoiled's topic in General Students

    We had this problem at our school too - students would get the questions from the class before them and use them any way they saw fit. One of our worst cheaters is now a CRNA; I'm sure she cheated...

  17. Baby vs no baby... help!

    NPvampire replied to Abby_3191's topic in General Students

    I was married and became pregnant my final semester of nursing school. I would STRONGLY vote to wait until done with clinical and possibly school, maybe even a year of nursing work. I didn't see...

  18. Husband is not ready for me to go to nursing school!!

    NPvampire replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

    Yeah, my spouse did this too. Actually he stalled around, and refused to get a job, delaying my entrance to nursing school. Then his family started in, I should have gotten a job, any job, so that...

  19. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    NPvampire replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    I went to RN school with the hopes of NEVER going to any more school as long as I lived. Family demands of time and hours led to my advanced practice. Getting up or home for those "12s" in a...

  20. University of Cincinnati FNP Program - Spring 2018

    NPvampire replied to NurseKDB's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did PMHNP not FNP and the classes were reasonable, sustainable workloads, IMO. I had toddlers, worked baylor, and did it okay. I am not one with a ton of bounding energy. However - if you are the...

  21. How much do NPs in the Southeast really make?

    NPvampire replied to Scrubs&Pearls's topic in Advanced Practice

    I graduated in 2012 and my offers ranged from $30 hour part-time W2 but no benefits to $55 hour contract work 1099's. Full time with benefits seems to run maybe 80 grand/year/40 hour weeks +/- 10%...

  22. Can I be fired for refusing PPD during pregnancy?

    NPvampire replied to RN/Mom's topic in General Nursing

    I also suggest the blood test. The results are done when they're done and don't require some subjective glance or measuring or prodding to interpret. The test itself is harmless, blood draw any...

  23. New nurse having a hard time with coworkers

    NPvampire replied to Me93RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, I did the ignore, remain silent, "brush it off," until they decided to bring their 'complaints' to HR and I was given the writing on the wall. Their complaints were that "I had allergies,"...

    NPvampire posted a topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Hi, all. I have come to a crossroads in my program, where I have to choose between child psych CNS and adult psych NP. I like children and adults equally. My question is, are there any child psych...
