  1. Easiest/quickest online MSN-DNP program

    Jules A replied to ClayH's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Or too easy not to get? I'm starting to wonder,

  2. 1099 employment question

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

    Regardless of if they offered full federal benefits and someone to shovel your cat boxes that is a crap rate and I'd have promptly told they to shove it and to never contact me

  3. Everyone is in NP school !

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

    Most importantly you are NOT a PMHNP and frankly I am shocked that your company is hiring FNPs to work solely in psychiatry as if a training program is sufficient in place of formal education and a...

  4. Everyone is in NP school !

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

    Raises her hand. I absolutely believe that many places could care less about the quality of those they hire especially if they can get them cheaply. The exception in my experience is some private...

  5. Everyone is in NP school !

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

    No need to be so concrete. It was nothing more than an obvious hyperbole, which I happened to enjoy because it is exactly how it feels to me. Consider lightening up a bit your constant barrage of...

  6. Everyone is in NP school !

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

    So I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I personally found the two NP board exams I took embarrassingly easy. They were largely policy and cultural competency focused with minimal diagnostic...

  7. Everyone is in NP school !

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

    Damn close. "The primary care NP and PA workforces are projected to grow far more rapidly than the physician supply. The supply of primary care NPs is projected to increase by 30 percent, from 55,400...

  8. Part time worked paid in RVUs

    Jules A replied to mollynurse123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Its going to depend on how many RVUs your billing codes equal and how much you are able to produce. Years ago I had a productivity position paying $25 per RVU which worked out to around $100 an

  9. Salaries at underserved/community health centers/federally qualified health centers

    Jules A replied to adamRn79's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm hoping you are joking but if not you definitely need to figure out what the RVU set up it is as it might be

  10. Any Thoughts on why Orthopedics Hire PA more than APN

    Jules A replied to Sandybear's topic in Advanced Practice

    Wow none of your Docs would hook you up with an

  11. Writing the Prescription to Fix Broken Nurse Practitioner (NP) Education (Pt. I)

    Jules A replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    The nuances can be the kiss of death and without that experience no idea what they don't know and yet often rather smug about their innate abilities. Inappropriate self disclosure is probably my...

  12. Any Thoughts on why Orthopedics Hire PA more than APN

    Jules A replied to Sandybear's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree and have no qualms about applying for something that looks interesting if I'm qualified to do it regardless of what the ad says. I will usually scour my personal contacts and attempt to get an...

  13. Writing the Prescription to Fix Broken Nurse Practitioner (NP) Education (Pt. I)

    Jules A replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    As usual you make excellent points but I'm not sold that we should be concerned about any "unfair advantage". Don't these sound like traits that would be beneficial to a new grad NP especially in...

  14. Writing the Prescription to Fix Broken Nurse Practitioner (NP) Education (Pt. I)

    Jules A replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'd agree 100% with your colleague that this is about nothing more than attrition aka the bottom line and going back to the CNL programs, whole other racket imo, it has always astounded me that people...

  15. Everyone is in NP school !

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

    Its getting horrible in my area and breaks my heart. Being a NP used to be for the most part a group of excellent, motivated RNs who wanted to further their knowledge and scope. Now it seems everyone...

  16. negotiating as a new grad NP

    Jules A replied to espress099's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Depends on the market and how the new grad came to be interviewed. I have set my rate for every single NP job I've ever had starting with my first fresh out of school. In my case it helped that I...

  17. In a restricted state

    Jules A replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is definitely doable but requires a strong state NP organization willing to hire lobbyists and get house-senate support. I'd rally with your colleagues who you know would be willing to assist in...

  18. DNP vs MD

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

    Ok so this was your original point. I'll stand by my assertion that name calling our colleagues, especially an entire group, is out of

  19. DNP vs MD

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

    Interesting usually I'm fairly clear but I can explain: First it was just rude and I'm actually surprised moderators allowed it to stand. Second my real point was that alienating ourselves from...

  20. DNP vs MD

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

    Its unfortunate that you feel this way and felt appropriate to add on a public forum. I've actually learned a lot from the residents and fellows I've worked with over the years and found most to be...

  21. How much did NP school prepare you?

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

    I'm not really sure and now the profit potential is so extensive things are unlikely to change. As the numbers of schools and NP graduates keep increasing while the requirements for admission and...

  22. How much did NP school prepare you?

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

    When the expectation is preparing people to accurately and safely diagnose and prescribe medications I find this unacceptable. They absolutely should prepare us to practice in the real world. I get...

  23. NP thoughts on office managers?

    Jules A replied to espress099's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    At the OP practice where I work the prescribers are treated like gold, which actually we are in the pecking order of things, and I love my office manager. I guess it depends on the NPs personality...

  24. negotiating as a new grad NP

    Jules A replied to espress099's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Something everyone should know: Don't ever give a range and expect to get one penny more than the lowest figure your put out there. DC is expensive! Nurses there make that much. When they offered...

  25. Do FNP's really make 80k to 90k a year?

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

    I have seen that posted here many times and it puzzles me. I've had 2 rural jobs that paid significantly more than the closest city's wages at the time due to a shortage of providers, possible due to...
