NPvampire MSN, RN, APRN

Chuckle yes I’m metro Atlanta. I wish it were Miami! We have had literally ten people quit in the past year, and countless clerical, nursing, counseling, and other positions quit. Admin doesn’t care. Our nps went to travel RN, do Botox or mlm stu...

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 coming home crying or screaming or both in the car most days....

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 largest city in the south. After 9 years of 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. My initial hire salary was 30 per hour and that w...

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 hope is to do telemedicine to AZ in 3 years or so...

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 yes.

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

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 another perspective, a teacher with the same numbe...

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 the owner of record of the business and "invite you...

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 bigtime. We also have no union to defend us or save ...

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 1099/contract labor. And everything in between. ...

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 not.

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 hospital by an accident. They are there because they ...

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 another's throat in the parking lot to get ahead. Backs...

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 through grad school too. Scary to think of those pe...

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 your age, but "waiting" more was not an option for us...

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 he could pursue his art degree prospects. Right. ...

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 hospital setting at 4 am or 3 am respectively, working ev...

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 online type of program, they (at least used to) mak...

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% right out of school in today's time. Many places...

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 time of day. Finding a lab to do it...that is a bit ...

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," "Jesus had told her I was evil," and "I had talked to ...

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 CNS jobs left--and not as "staff educator," that i...

Hi, all. Am looking for advice. I would like to leave one of my jobs, in HH, as the pay is AWFUL for the amount of hours I am actually working and the environmental conditions are something out of a third-world country half the time. The thing is...
