  1. PA curriculum

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

    Yes but only one. I've had 3 so probably 9 credits.

  2. PA curriculum

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

    Thank you for responding. Yes I'd be certain ethics is integrated into the courses so there is no need to spend an entire 3 credits writing discussion board posts. Below is the description for one of...

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

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

    Right? And I would have been forward enough to ask that. If it was a team-wide change that would make a difference although unless I was desperate I'm not suddenly working for less. But is this a...

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

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

    I have heard the HR excuse, ignored it, and also from peers who believe them when they say they can't pay more. It has rarely been my experience that they won't match my rate if they need a good...

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

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

    Now we are talking! $125 an hour is a nice prn rate and $85 is decent if that includes benefits.Hopefully your peers weren't willing to do it for that rate which around here is starting to kill

  6. Stories of NP Employers Trying to Take Advantage or Blatantly Lying...

    Jules A replied to serenitylove14's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't take it personally. It isn't uncommon for them to push productivity by less than desirable means so it is excellent that you set boundaries immediately! I would send an email and cc whoever is...

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

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

    That wasn't even a staff with benefits position? Good riddance. That was awful. I'm not a fan of telepsych so while I've done it reluctantly on occasion in the ED I don't have solid info to offer....

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

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

  9. Fellow ship (as in MD kind) good idea?

    Jules A replied to Tony1790's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Very interesting, thank you for sharing. I'm not sure I see the downsides as downsides. Even the BOM attempting to take over NPs, which will never happen, might not be a bad thing as far as aligning...

  10. How do you feel?

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

    I can believe it and thought we must have gone to the same university but the dates don't line up! I was appalled to learn this and even more appalled when this person went on to get another position...

  11. How do you feel?

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

    Great questions and you will find other threads on the pros and cons of being a NP and opinions on NP vs PA if you search here. If you aren't familiar with the usual suspects here let me be...

  12. US News Best Jobs. We're number 4!

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

    I disagree this is good news for us. As if there aren't already enough graduates from As Seen On TV universities already saturating many markets. They will be coming out of the woodwork

  13. Fellow ship (as in MD kind) good idea?

    Jules A replied to Tony1790's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do think that would be excellent especially if this would align us more with MD type training. I would advise anyone who plans to work in a specialty with a board certification, such as psych, to...

  14. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    What is most unfortunate is there were some intelligent, well respected members here in your corner and you turned on them

  15. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    Which would be a beautiful thing but I rarely hear of them. Not that this is especially noteworthy but I haven't ever known a NP who attended one. I do know a local hospital that stopped hiring new...

  16. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    What exactly is a "provider trainee role"? My jobs were paying me top dollar and expected me to be able to carry a full load from day

  17. Is a government job worth it?

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

    No easy answers I'm afraid. Much of it will depend on how old you are and the likelihood that you will be able to tolerate a federal job over the long haul. I do not have NP experience and my RN VA...

  18. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    Refreshing way to start my long weekend! I happily join you in supporting a moratorium on APRN 801 Arts and Crafts. For other DNP students perhaps the capstone thing is valuable but for NPs it is, in...

  19. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    Done answering the exact same question. Perhaps psych specific but everyone knows everyone's business. We ask it all the time when a new name shows up. It used to be to get a feel for their...

  20. Cops!

    Jules A replied to nursesunny's topic in Psychiatric

    We also get many who after committing a crime report to the officers that they are suicidal. In my experience it isn't so much inappropriate referrals because I don't mind them seeking a psych eval...

  21. How in the name of God will I write my titles

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

    No I can't and why would you ask me to explain this? It is as if you are going out of your way to pull me in arguments I have no interest in and are actually irrelevant to the topic at hand. Who cares...

  22. How in the name of God will I write my titles

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

    Not telling you what tampon you are allowed to use just suggesting a few qualities that one might require in an exceptional tampon. It isn't unreasonable to view the curriculum and/or product being...

  23. How in the name of God will I write my titles

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

    Possibly much of what I post, but certainly not everything. For the record I am not anti APRN. I am anti APRNs who don't know what they are doing, accept terrible wages and in my specialty can't...

  24. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    Of course none of us were impressive immediately but in my experience there is a marked difference in the quality of diagnosing and prescribing from new PMHNPs who do not have psychiatric experience...

  25. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    I don't disagree with this statement at all but also don't think not being a NP reduces the value of our colleagues' opinions and
