  1. Why is our salary so low?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Although I don't find only caring about the money offensive if a provider is excellent I totally agree there are providers of all professions who are bad. In fact I have come across at least as many...

  2. Why is our salary so low?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I enjoyed your post and agreed with most everything except the board exam being some sort of quality control mechanism. I've seen the arguments and reluctantly agree that there isn't a better way I...

  3. Why is our salary so low?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you are in psych I pray you are making well over $100,000 like min $150,000. I'll argue that from my perspective employers are cheap and love NPs with no business savvy who will work for peanuts....

  4. Why is our salary so low?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Two or more different problems. 1. Being afraid of being "too demanding" is sad and exactly what employers love to hear. You be a good little girl and don't make waves. I'm fine being known as...

  5. What do NP's wear

    Jules A replied to FutureNP111315's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wear business suits and add a white lab coat when I'm on the inpatient units. I loved scrubs as a RN but feel as a NP its important to look professional if I want to be treated and paid like one so...

  6. Why is our salary so low?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Omg I think I found my

  7. Why is our salary so low?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This makes no sense and exactly how high is the base salary of a super RN even with 25 years of experience? $90,000? Although I do not think we should be compensated equally to physicians due to our...

  8. Why is our salary so low?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately this is a common complaint about NPs wasting time looking for zebras when in most cases, not all of course, what we see are horses. I'd respectfully assert that rare diseases seem rare...

  9. Why is our salary so low?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No I don't make more than most physicians. My physician colleagues who aren't medical directors make around $300,000 so I'm still way less than their wage which I can accept because their knowledge...

  10. Why is our salary so low?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your salary definitely should have increased more than 10k a year and if it didn't I wonder why NPs in your area are accepting

  11. Why is our salary so low?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yoo hoo PsychGuy! Why is our salary so low? I'll start: 1. Because if I don't singlehandedly save lives and stamp out disease who will? 2. I'm not in this for the money its my calling 3. I love my...

  12. Want to get a DNP but need help with a research project

    Jules A replied to tellabella21's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Wait a dag-gum minute that will be reserved for the holistic gender sensitive specialty post DNP certificate that you too can earn for only an additional $10,000 and 5 research papers. I'm thinking...

  13. Is it ok to date a drug rep?

    Jules A replied to q12RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dang you and the OP just ruined it for me. Decency? and gasp: Feelings? YeahhhhhNooooo I'm out!

  14. Is it ok to date a drug rep?

    Jules A replied to q12RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Disregard my previous reply. You are correct and they are usually skinny too so all the more food for me on our dates. I'm

  15. Medical Board Nursing Board Whats up?

    Jules A replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Getting precepted by a good MD in my opinion is the best and how I learned most of what I know however our brief clinical experiences even with MDs are not able to bridge the gap between what...

  16. How low would you go?

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

    Awww shucks, thanks for the kind words. I'm not all that. I just have a knack for making money and am willing to work like a

  17. Shame on you ANCC : Psych CNS: Don't precept Psych NP's

    Jules A replied to dmarie82's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    In my state you don't see them much any more as they are similar to a NP but without prescribing rights although in some states they are able to prescribe so in that case I have no clue what the...

  18. How low would you go?

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

    They love it! I cringe every time I hear or read someone expressing concern that a prospective employer will think they are greedy or overly concerned about salary. To me that is an open door to take...

  19. How low would you go?

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

    My math = $20 an hour. Your statement about ignorant people might sound harsh but I can not believe the number of NPs I have encountered who never did the math and actually have no clue how much they...

  20. Accepted a job offer, now not sure.

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

    Grrrr isn't that always the way it happens? Unfortunately in my experience if you refuse a job you accepted it will very likely burn this bridge. No opinion either way but would advise you weighing...

  21. Want to get a DNP but need help with a research project

    Jules A replied to tellabella21's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    We may laugh but I swear I have seen more than one "capstone project" on hand

  22. Is it ok to date a drug rep?

    Jules A replied to q12RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have never been a fan of dating colleagues on any level and would wonder about conflict of interest if you ever prescribed their medication and things went bad. I tend to be very guarded of my...

  23. Highest Paid NP for 2015, According to AANP, Are NNPs

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

    Thank you for the comprehensive reply. I am in awe and can't begin to imagine how challenging this must be. It is ridiculous that I make twice what you do working as an attending in garden variety...

  24. DNP Fluff

    Jules A replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Or don't and start demanding an appropriate education for the amount of money spent that will help elevate our profession's clinical attributes so we aren't continuing to rely on the flimsy facade of...

  25. Highest Paid NP for 2015, According to AANP, Are NNPs

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

    Gee thanks. Mentors, researchers, blah blah. I know what NPs do and that often includes acting as a PA in some specialties or facilities. What I really wanted to know was if the poster I was replying...
