  1. PMHNP- Salary expectations

    Jules A replied to megank5183's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This has been my experience also however the recent glut in our specialty is driving rates down in my area of DC, Maryland and VA. There are so many now and the medication I see being ordered on...

  2. Retirement at what age, and how much $$ will you will need to retire "comfortably"?

    Jules A replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    I have to think much of the reason people aren't saving enough now is the expectation that everyone is entitled to everything. Sucks I know, I was raised by poor but hardworking frugal people who...

  3. Retirement at what age, and how much $$ will you will need to retire "comfortably"?

    Jules A replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    This except switch up too old to work to too decrepit to make it to the crapper unaided. I'm planning to retire 62-65 with the multiply by 25 rule as a rough guide. Like SourLemon I have no plans on...

  4. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    Jules A replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No doubt. If I wanted it and they offered it I'd be there too. I have lost respect for most of the schools in this area that are known nationwide as high quality. Some of the schemes I've seen come...

  5. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    Jules A replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Because that qualifies as a sufficient background. Unbelievable but hey good retention

  6. New Grad NP need your advice on employment

    Jules A replied to BruinAGNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This probably doesn't translate into psych but why wouldn't the NP dictate the number of patient appointments they are able to complete in a reasonable 8 hour day? Not that it never happens but I...

  7. Working in a small practice, and the employees are rude.

    Jules A replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    Try not to be too disappointed or surprised if nothing comes from it. In cases like this I wonder if it isn't better to swiftly address it yourself between the two of you, totally ignore her or leave...

  8. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    Jules A replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The only impressive thing about my FNP program was they told us straight up this will not prepare you to work in acute care and if that is what you want to do you are in the wrong

  9. Doctor Hiring NP's

    Jules A replied to DO89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well shame on the NPs. They are not victims, they are volunteers. This is a prime example of us being our own worst enemy. There would be no market for low paid NPs if there weren't NPs willing to...

  10. NP's working in weightloss clinic

    Jules A replied to DeeNP2017's topic in Advanced Practice

    Excellent advice although that entire specialty raises red flags for me. Is there actually research that supports the health risks vs benefits and results in long term

  11. DNP vs MD

    Jules A replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Before you accept that any DNP program is comparable to a MD program please do a side:side of the courses. I also don't believe a majority of DNP students have ever practiced as a RN any longer....

  12. Doctor Hiring NP's

    Jules A replied to DO89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi and welcome, Prepare yourself for this thread to get derailed by sniping but hopefully you will get some sound insight regardless. It is no secret that my opinion is I believe RN experience is...

  13. Are MSN still Grandfathered in to NP?

    Jules A replied to charisma00's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I hear ya, agree and wore the T-shirt for many years. The problem in my opinion is this has become the expected standard. My experience might also be colored due to the fact that I initially got my...

  14. New DNP mandate

    Jules A replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I thought CRNAs already adopted

  15. NP programs less than 2 years

    Jules A replied to Guest1059175's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just the thought of this makes me cringe especially as our light education comes under more

  16. New Grad NP need your advice on employment

    Jules A replied to BruinAGNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Seriously, lawyers? You aren't aware of the difficulties with the glut that significantly altered their profession? Google "lawyer bubble" About 2,170,000

  17. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    Jules A replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yowza. Practicing outside of their boarded specialty isn't going to fly anymore. I'm hoping more states adopt stringent positions on this especially for those attempting to work solely in psych...

  18. New DNP mandate

    Jules A replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wonder if they even care about the current state of NP education. It sure doesn't seem like it and there is the ever present cash cow of keeping students enrolled. Even the well respected brick and...

  19. CCNE Accreditation Comments

    Jules A posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you have concerns about NP education please make your voice heard. Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) is interested in comments until 5/8. Speak now... Via: an online survey at...

  20. New Grad NP need your advice on employment

    Jules A replied to BruinAGNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is what employers are counting on and with NPs it often seems a fruitful strategy, sigh. I would have continued working as a RN until I found a position that would pay me according to my...

  21. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    Jules A replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You make good points however the truly valuable things, the "pearls" if you will, I learned and continue learning from came from instructors and colleagues who were active and competent not from the...

  22. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    Jules A replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Because God forbid they included more than the 6 medication and diagnostic questions,

  23. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    Jules A replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Lol I can't vouch for your figures but I was ready to hit the Like? button. Although I accept the board exams are the only way they have to actually certify us the AANC, I took two, Boston FNP :) were...

  24. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    Jules A replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Its a shame especially because the hours required to retain the NP license are minimal. A majority of the instructors I have worked with when I was teaching or precepting have minimal if any real...

  25. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    Jules A replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Interesting to see the change in nursing faculty opinions of NP programs in recent
