  1. VA Nurse Practitioner

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

    Would you share the ranges? I worked for VA as a RN and really liked it. When I got my NP they made me a laughable offer so I said bye-bye. I kept thinking especially in psych with all the bad press...

  2. VA Nurse Practitioner

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

    Like yow much? Last I saw the max was $130k a year and you had to have worked there or been a NP a million years to make that grade most were making around

  3. VA Nurse Practitioner

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

    I'm wondering if their NP pay rates ever caught up with the invention of indoor

  4. Future of NP and...my future

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

    First, I really like your style. Seems to fall in the rare spot of mid line optimistic and pragmatic. Nice, I haven't been able to achieve such a balance but appreciate those who have. I was mistaken...

  5. Future of NP and...my future

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

    Following your heart as you plan is reasonable as long as you won't have regrets. As I mentioned the gross has always been my focus so I have to ask if you are really willing to forego an average of...

  6. FNP job outlook

    Jules A replied to CommunityOB's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes but these are usually secured prior to getting a job so money out of pocket. OP I believe in popular areas the opportunities are still available, although not as plentiful, but the wages are...

  7. Help...

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

    If you really don't have a preference tell them so and I'd imagine you will be placed with physician B. I think it speaks highly of their regard for employees to even give you a choice and would be...

  8. Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Jules A replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    I am a NP and happen to agree with most of that post. The schools are operating as a money making vehicle, fine with me, except it certainly appears the lack of ability to practice in new grad RNs is...

  9. Future of NP and...my future

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

    The plus as an adult of being able to work as a RN while in school is not only getting what I believe to be an invaluable foundation but also the income and professional contacts that can make a major...

  10. Frustrated New Grad

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

    I think it depends on the areas but with the sheer numbers graduating no doubt things are tightening up in many places. I'd definitely recommend hanging on to your RN job until you have an offer...

  11. Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Jules A replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    This was what stuck out to me. Its bad enough that the schools, who are making serious money on this initiative, are shoving this down everyone's throats but the board of nursing now

  12. Just........no.

    Jules A replied to roser13's topic in Nursing News

    Yeah I suppose so but unfortunatey it seems to take a classic turn into the ditch. I wouldn't be surprised if there is more than hate going on, just

  13. First Contract

    Jules A replied to tgod288's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not from your area but from what I hear about the paid in sunshine state that sounds like a reasonable offer. I'm all for getting top wages but when negotiating be very careful throwing in everything...

  14. Hourly NP and pay

    Jules A replied to TexasNP14's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That sounds like a lot of patients but hard to know for sure depending the setting. If you are skilled, efficient and this is an unmanageable work load I would tell your employer you will require...

  15. Just........no.

    Jules A replied to roser13's topic in Nursing News

    Not justifying her comments but am I the only one wondering if she has something mental health wise going

  16. Psych Private Practice, What's Realistic?

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

    Bummer that you are concerned about criticism because at least for me that is often the way I learn and sort thoughts out best. Glad you wrote as you have good questions that should be addressed prior...

  17. RN overwhelmed with med school

    Jules A replied to RNtoMD's topic in General Nursing

    You ain't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. :) I'd image this is disorienting and a big adjustment but you will find your sea legs. I personally felt nursing school after my ADN was diluted and am rather...

  18. RN overwhelmed with med school

    Jules A replied to RNtoMD's topic in General Nursing

    Yes best wishes! I wish I had the insight and maturity to have pursued med school when I was young

  19. Exploring reasons for doctoral degree

    Jules A replied to go-for-it's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Although no conspiracy from what I know this has been more than a little bonus to universities' bottom

  20. Exploring reasons for doctoral degree

    Jules A replied to go-for-it's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Excellent point and one I tend to forget as I'm looking at it solely from the NP view, where despite accepting it is the way things are now, I continue to believe it does little to nothing to advance...

  21. Exploring reasons for doctoral degree

    Jules A replied to go-for-it's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    My theory is: cash cow for universities and it plays on nurses desire to have a "seat at the table" with physicians. While I'm all for additional education because I believe the nurse practitioner...

  22. Changing careers (sort of)?

    Jules A replied to amalay's topic in Advanced Practice

  23. Kaiser NP Salary?

    Jules A replied to COknights10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So before anyone asks for my sources the following is all anecdotal so feel free to continue or skip it now. I can't speak for NPs but the physician information I have heard is the pay and potential...

  24. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    Jules A replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Or are they a cash cow for universities? Encouraging undergrads to stay enrolled through graduate school and billing second degree students graduate tuition for what are actually BSN courses sounds...

  25. Are NP jobs as plentiful as I am led to believe?

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

    Beautiful, and I would only change "sometimes" to most, every, single time. All of my best deals have come from word of mouth.
