  1. On call pay

    Jules A replied to nikkif75's topic in Advanced Practice

    No extra for the

  2. Helping patients kill themselves

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

    I'm curious because I truly don't know but my knee jerk reaction was to doubt there are curative treatments for intractable pain such as with some end stage diseases ie bone cancer? however way out of...

  3. NP or MD

    Jules A replied to HIstudent808's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not sure what you mean by this. In my experience most of the fresh faced little darlings s/p high school who just graduated with their BSN aren't working as a nurse or anything else cause Mummy...

  4. Challenging specialities

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

    Whaaaat??? I took care of lots of crazy people in ICU!! You mean you can't just take a few classes as a post masters and automatically recognize and treat EPS? or distinguish between psychosis,...

  5. Are there any NPs here working in the VA?

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

    From what I hear it is the same in this area. Unless you are attempting to teach at a University no one cares if you have a doctorate or if they do care they don't care enough to pay any

  6. On call pay

    Jules A replied to nikkif75's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm in psych and depending on the facility I get $300-$500 for 5pm-8am with no requirement to ever go on

  7. New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

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

    Well to back track a bit I had plenty of work so wasn't in need of this job, a well documented history of this pay range, was brought in by the medical director who had worked with me in a different...

  8. New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

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

    Good for you. I applaud you for not accepting that BS and instead pursuing what I can only imagine wasn't your first choice for appropriate compensation. I have also had a hospital admin say "we...

  9. Claim paid out as RN almost an NP

    Jules A replied to RNtoNP2017's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Buyer Beware makes some good points. In psychiatry you don't even have to be overtly negligent to have a lawsuit filed or to be found liable and as noted above with credentialing for a new job any...

  10. New grad FNP: "Where else are you interviewing?"

    Jules A replied to NurseLauraM's topic in Advanced Practice

    From the other side of the table it irritates me when I feel an interviewer has asked a question knowing it is likely to make to make me feel uncomfortable. Personally I appreciate interviews where...

  11. Ancient certificate trained FNP now wants MSN. Suggestions?

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

    Before you do anything make sure a masters is sufficient to teach and also consider the investment vs. return. In my area they now want a DNP to teach even in Community Colleges. I believe you can...

  12. Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner Schedule Options

    Jules A replied to Amy3901's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You seem to have a knack for remaining cool headed. It will serve you

  13. Fnp

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

    I wish the expectation was that we came out of NP school more prepared to practice. This is an excellent point and strategy. OP, I have no intention of ever being micromanaged or nit picked by a...

  14. New NP grad, passed boards, now what?!

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

    This is excellent, something actually useful! It really should be the schools duty, imo, regardless of if its one of these wonderfully well known TV commercial schools on the edge of the earth or a...

  15. Claim paid out as RN almost an NP

    Jules A replied to RNtoNP2017's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree this is an area of high liability but has anyone who works inpatient found a work around? It is especially concerning when I'm re-starting OP meds on a person based on the med rec done by who...

  16. NP Locum/travel pay

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

    Psych

  17. New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

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

    Physician residents have nothing to do with NPs and I don't care if an employer who is offering a terrible salary laughs at me. I love LucyLou's suggestion to go in with what is a fair and decent...

  18. New grad FNP: "Where else are you interviewing?"

    Jules A replied to NurseLauraM's topic in Advanced Practice

    This would have stumped me also and I'll be interested to see what the general consensus is. I haven't ever been asked that question although most of my jobs have been referrals so I wasn't really...

  19. Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner Schedule Options

    Jules A replied to Amy3901's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You should have plenty of options and knowing this about yourself can direct the area's you explore. It might not be like this everywhere but in my experience inpatient schedules both in psych and for...

  20. Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner Schedule Options

    Jules A replied to Amy3901's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lol, thats why I love weekends. In general the Docs seem to appreciate that I'm willing to take call and work whatever shift is needed like they

  21. New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

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

    I like all my jobs and have loved some in the past however not once ever considered working for insulting wages to take or keep a desired one. For some reason nurses tend to get self-righteous about...

  22. Average DNP loans

    Jules A replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Although like with the housing bubble people also need to take some responsibility. It seems no one wants to wait for anything and will sign for whatever some predatory entity offers them if it means...

  23. Claim paid out as RN almost an NP

    Jules A replied to RNtoNP2017's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    traumaRUs, thank you for sharing your story. Any of us could be in a similar position and it is good to learn there is life

  24. Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner Schedule Options

    Jules A replied to Amy3901's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have privileges at 3 hospitals and they all do these types of schedules. This is one of the rubs when NPs expect Mommy friendly schedules. Who said we can have it

  25. FNP in hospitalist or internist role?

    Jules A replied to ashurtle's topic in Advanced Practice

    Who needed extra time to consider this choice?
