  1. Clarification on NP Curriculum?

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

    Anyone else have the feeling there might have been a $5 bet on how long it would take us to turn on each other like a pack of rabid

  2. Clarification on NP Curriculum?

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

    Like you said the internet and sometimes written word loses something in translation. My thoughts, and this coming from a female who's husband has had minimal input into any of my decisions, were that...

  3. Clarification on NP Curriculum?

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

    To be honest I thought the same thing as BabyNP and was hoping your girlfriend wouldn't think you are being intrusive. The opinions I can offer are that for me personally my inpatient psychiatric RN...

  4. Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

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

    Thanks for replying this is good to know. I knew they were all DNPs so my experience is possibly psych specific where collectively instructors and preceptors have been very light on experience. The 4...

  5. PA curriculum

    Jules A posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I received this from a friend. I am both envious and ashamed. Imagine no nursing theory, no leadership, no population health, no information systems, no 3 credit course on ethics? No 250-500 hours...

  6. PA curriculum

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

    Perhaps it is area dependent? I currently have privileges at 5 hospitals and all use more PAs than NPs especially as hospitalists. I prefer the PAs over NPs but maybe it is because there is such a...

  7. NP being used as an RN

    Jules A replied to Adam18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would tell him this and see what he has to say. He is doing something that isn't uncommon for those with minimal business acumen. Losing dollars in the effort to pinch pennies. It makes no sense to...

  8. has anyone worked for LHI doing C & P exams?

    Jules A replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And really? You have accepted a job are in the credentialing process and don't know what your duties will

  9. Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

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

    What level of experience do they

  10. New grad of PMHNP. Is this a typical first job experience?

    Jules A replied to katprit80's topic in Advanced Practice

    And this is where we need to take our schools to task. That someone is licensed to practice and is receiving a full salary while not actually ready for the role is a problem and it isn't the...

  11. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

    Jules A replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually not anyone can get in, they have to be able to pony up the tuition so I guess that does narrow it down a bit. You aren't aware of the for profit NP programs with rolling admissions? And or...

  12. Interesting day for a PMHNP

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

    I had an elderly patient in a group home environment with a psychotic disorder diagnosis who it was quickly evident simply had a low end IQ and was somewhat impulsive back in the day when it was...

  13. Part timeNP salary

    Jules A replied to Guest1059175's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OMG I hope you are living in an area with the cheapest cost of living known to

  14. New grad of PMHNP. Is this a typical first job experience?

    Jules A replied to katprit80's topic in Advanced Practice

    Excellent choice in women. She is spot on here and while I felt it was a bit of sink or swim I understand and appreciate the rationale. I disagree that we can confidently say they "DO know enough...

  15. New grad of PMHNP. Is this a typical first job experience?

    Jules A replied to katprit80's topic in Advanced Practice

    Agree 100%. This is a challenging population. The drug:drug interactions alone are enough to make my head spin. In my opinion this specialty requires significant training and experience to manage...

  16. Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

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

    Be aware of the quality if they are setting up your preceptors. I set up my own with MD colleagues because although my school offered this option they were all NPs and most recent grads from their...

  17. Part timeNP salary

    Jules A replied to Guest1059175's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is a considerable difference in NP salaries. I've seen from $80,000-$185,000 annually. The original question isn't set up properly because a part time salary is basically a percentage of the...

  18. New grad of PMHNP. Is this a typical first job experience?

    Jules A replied to katprit80's topic in Advanced Practice

    I started on an inpatient unit as the only attending and this was how it was also. I got keys, a prescription pad and 2 hour introduction to the EMAR. Fortunately I had a strong inpatient psych RN...

  19. PA curriculum

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

    Mine were 500 for PMH and 500 for FNP, I was initially practicing with only 500 clinical

  20. PA curriculum

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

    If I wanted to work in somatic medicine I would definitely go for PA unless you want to open your own solo practice. Owning a practice doesn't appeal to me at all and if I did I'd still wantthe...

  21. NP being used as an RN

    Jules A replied to Adam18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Really?

  22. We Are Not Paying You

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

    A cash practice can take a while to build and the success can depend on the economy in your area and your contacts. The NPs and MDs I know doing this business model bill far more than those of us who...

  23. Regret Becoming an NP

    Jules A replied to psych.nurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    We are seeing more of this and I suspect it will only increase as the schools continue to sell the line of goods that staying for a few additional years and fattening their wallets is a fantastic...

  24. NP being used as an RN

    Jules A replied to Adam18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is no way unless this was my dream job AND the docs were doing it also. There isn't any concern from a practice standpoint, hell you could double as the janitor and mop the floors also if you,...

  25. PA curriculum

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

    Totally jealous and also a little intimidated. When I look at mine from a well respected, top 10%, SON I am sad. I've checked others and they are all equally as
