  1. Is finding a preceptor always hard?

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

    I used business contacts to find all my own preceptors for both psych and fnp and wouldn't have had it any other way. I learned from physicians who I knew were skilled in facilities where I wanted to...

  2. Mandatory co-author?

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

    I must not be well versed in the etiquette either? To be clear I'm referring to the instructor, not some hibrow researcher or well known expert, who has been assigned and is paid by the university to...

  3. Mandatory co-author?

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

    As an author or honorable mention? What did you think about

  4. FQHC salaries? I GOT QUESTIONS!

    Jules A replied to xxdiscoxxheaven's topic in Advanced Practice

    The facilities that offer these federal programs are not in any way contributing to the reimbursement. The loan repayment money should not come into negotiation of salary unless you want to buy into...

  5. Please help

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

    Dear God I would hope it takes longer than 4 years fulltime to get a doctorate in anything from scratch. I would have thought doctorate:doctorate would be similar amounts of

  6. Do you wear open toed shoes as an NP?

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

    Mmmmm I might like a job where I could wear fancy shoes, sounds cushy,

  7. Please help

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

    Don't a PsyD and NP have about the same years of

  8. My brain doesn't work anymore

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

    It sounds like you are overwhelmed and trying to do way too much. :) I have seen anxiety and trauma mimic ADD or vegetative depression so stress is the real deal. Another plug for having actual...

  9. FNP Oversaturation

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

    I'm not trying to be snarky either but it would have been prudent to consider these questions before investing in

  10. FNP Oversaturation

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

    The rate included in this survey for my specialty in my area at that time was low, off by

  11. FNP Oversaturation

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

    If the average is what you know seasoned NPs in your area are making and you are at or above that then you are in excellent shape. If however your data is from the national reports very possibly way...

  12. SOCIAL ettique of using "Dr." on invitation

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

    I wonder if the OP was looking to suck up to a professor. Why in the world would anyone address a social invitation to a NP as

  13. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Comparing how much you are actually making to what other NPs in your city have been making would be a better determination of the value and whether it is increasing or declining. I'm sure this isn't...

  14. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Me too. My last offer where the medical director knows me and wanted to bring me on stalled at 60% of my current rate. The most recent hire at my present job accepted an offer $40,000 a year less than...

  15. Why do some practices prefer PAs to NPs?

    Jules A replied to mep7296's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I feel the pain and agree with #3 but disagree with your references to being "highly trained". Really we aren't. Our minimal clinical hours, lack of RN experience and need for extensive orientation...

  16. I'm an NP student - How did you choose your specialty?

    Jules A replied to abc616's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not re: DE but the push to remain enrolled from undergraduate through DNP by discouraging working as a RN is a significant money maker. Large, well respected brick and mortar universities have been...

  17. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Well what is the market like in your rural area? You will hear that psych is still prime for the pickins, mostly from FNPs, but that is no longer

  18. Odd question, but...

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

    If becoming a PA would allow you to work in your desired specialty that would be my advice if you are interested in a quality education. In my opinion the medical model is far superior to our nursing...

  19. PMHNP salaries - updated

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

    DC/Baltimore areas $150,000 new grads up to $200,000 for experienced/sought after. Unfortunately there are some willing to work for $120,000 who in combination with the large number of new grads, many...

  20. Encouragement please... FT NP and FT work. Is this THAT difficult?

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

    YES! I successfully worked full time through both my psych and FNP which is probably not a positive reflection on the rigor of our education. I used to envy those who had the luxury to focus on school...

  21. NP job paid by dictation notes not by hour

    Jules A replied to likely's topic in Advanced Practice

    Although with as painstakingly thorough as some NPs pride themselves on being I doubt there are many employers willing to bite at this type of

  22. NP job paid by dictation notes not by hour

    Jules A replied to likely's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have a per encounter w2 job, no guarantees, and never make less than $125 an hour. OP everything is negotiable, it is reasonable that an employer will try to get you as low as possible. Make a...

  23. NP job paid by dictation notes not by hour

    Jules A replied to likely's topic in Advanced Practice

    It is important to know how much your services are being reimbursed to establish your value. A simple way to negotiate is take your expected time and calculate into your required hourly rate. It is...

  24. NP job paid by dictation notes not by hour

    Jules A replied to likely's topic in Advanced Practice

    Not sure what you are asking. What billing codes will you be submitting? How long does it take you to do a H&P and progress

  25. NP considering leaving practice

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

    Community mental health is rough. I did a brief stint years ago although my pay was excellent. They tend to cry poor but have major financial backing and are able to pay if you insist on it. I can't...
