  1. CRNA vs. NP

    Jules A replied to jcam072515's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You have so much time. Get out work as a RN in a field or two that interests you and see what you think. Then focus on a RN job that will set you up for success in the advanced role you decide to...

  2. Emotional support animals? FMLA for depression?

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

    Therapist fills it out and I will sign FMLA if reasonable, usually parents needing time off work to take child with mental health problems to appointments. I don't do disability unless someone is...

  3. Psych NP vs FNP

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

    I could have written this myself and like you said is not aimed only at direct entry

  4. Psych NP vs FNP

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

    More like tired of having to address the poor prescribing and diagnosing when their patients decompensate and end up on my inpatient unit. That the quality of care and our reputation is tanking faster...

  5. Psych NP vs FNP

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

    Despite what you will hear psych is no longer in as much demand as it was unless you want to move to the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately those places in the middle of nowhere have the ability to pay...

  6. NNP title?

    Jules A replied to sfbates's topic in Advanced Practice

    What a sweet gift however you are heading into treacherous territory. There is no simple answer to that question and many have strong opinions about it. Unless you are able to nail her down...

  7. NP Salaries/Location/Specialties

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

    Please reconsider. A total lack of business sense added to the over supply of new grads is killing our wages. I'm not certain people recognize the responsibility that comes with being a diagnostician...

  8. How to call a provider at 3 am

    Jules A replied to ZenRN181's topic in General Nursing

    I also hope OP was writing from RN experience and not as an overnight hospitalist calling for things like med orders.

  9. How to call a provider at 3 am

    Jules A replied to ZenRN181's topic in General Nursing

    I do too although as someone getting woken up all hours of the night I appreciate the compassionate RN who apologizes for waking me. I always say "never a problem!" but appreciate their acknowledging...

  10. Can I get into an NP Program with a 3.5?

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

    Honey as sad as it makes me, if you can pay the tuition, you can get into a NP program. Your GPA is decent btw.

  11. Nurse Practitioner Overtime Pay

    Jules A replied to JRay813's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As futile as it might seem I'd encourage anyone in a state or area like this to get involved in their state's NP organization. Lobbying for Full Practice Authority opens many doors and at the very...

  12. working alone as a new grad

    Jules A replied to travelRN555's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is exactly why residencies are crucial and where our education is seriously lacking. New MDs absolutely do start work with minimal orientation with the exception of course in learning the...

  13. Nurse Practitioner Overtime Pay

    Jules A replied to JRay813's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm confused as to why some feel overtime isn't appropriate? Being salary doesn't mean you can't negotiate above and beyond your set duties. They are changing the terms so it is time to renegotiate....

  14. Nurse Practitioner Overtime Pay

    Jules A replied to JRay813's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would imagine the can dictate whatever they want and it is a matter of if employees accept it. Its not unusual for physicians who have weekend call duties to cover 14 days in a row so not...

  15. working alone as a new grad

    Jules A replied to travelRN555's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Which is a shame and a direct result of our schools not preparing us to practice to the full scope of our licensure upon certification. Physicians are increasingly shocked and although it sounds nice...

  16. What happened to all the Walden Haters?

    Jules A replied to Mark Hill BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    About as impressive to me as gaining "magnet designation"...wait that's a whole nother sore subject,

  17. working alone as a new grad

    Jules A replied to travelRN555's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Perhaps psychiatry is different but in my experience employers expected me to be able to practice independently to the full scope of my license on day one as they were paying me a full

  18. Will there be a huge turf war between PA and NP?

    Jules A replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When our state required it the "collaborating" physician didn't even have to sign the form! I could have googled anyone's medical license number and submitted the form. There were no guidelines,...

  19. Excellent Employment Prospects for Nurse Practitioners

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

    I am now living in an area with too many NPs however I'd disagree with the above. Practices, and particularly hospitals where I work, have little interest in paying for quality. The last two NPs hired...

  20. Excellent Employment Prospects for Nurse Practitioners

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

    Do you know what the growth of NP programs and number of new grads yearly from NP schools is projected to be? Actually I dug these up but would like to see what others have found if contradictory....

  21. Med school to NP

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

    Hi and welcome, I'm sorry you are struggling and wonder if treating your depression might be a better first step before you abandon what in my opinion is a far superior education and career path. Is...

  22. When to start applying for first NP job?

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

    I recommend setting up clinical sites with the goal of it being an extensive job interview and orientation. What better way to get your foot in the door and see the inner workings of a

  23. Novice Providers & Mortality

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

    Now I'm confused. Genuinely. I took the initial post to mean that if new physicians are struggling despite their extensive education and clinical hours where does that leave NPs with our brief,...

  24. NP Work life balance

    Jules A replied to ncaru01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  25. Direct-Entry NP Success Stories

    Jules A replied to arockenhaus1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In upcoming years I suspect a majority of all NPs will be direct entry thanks to the universitities' ingenious retention plans and number of As Seen On TV schools offering anyone a degree who can pay...
