  1. Shockingly low NP pay !

    Jules A replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So actually NPs can make over 200k a year under the right circumstances. I personally can't imagine anyone being willing to do it for less than $150k but maybe that's my bias. Please consider that...

  2. Shockingly low NP pay !

    Jules A replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can't believe how many seemingly shell out thousands of dollars for a degree with no clue how much money their local market is

  3. Botox - nurse practitioner

    Jules A replied to nicurn1245's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does plastics have an increased rate of malpractice

  4. What happened to all the Walden Haters?

    Jules A replied to Mark Hill BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OMG YES! Add a limit to the number of times one can test and you have a brilliant idea. Finally add a weed-out as opposed to the plethora of schools that admit anyone with a pulse and allow them to...

  5. Pay cuts

    Jules A replied to KSjo88's topic in General Nursing

    What a shame but unfortunately this type of complacy contributes to hospitals taking advantage of employees. There is no way I would work a weekend without shift diff. I commuted over two hours round...

  6. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Jules A replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    DNP stats: 303 DNP programs are currently enrolling students at schools of nursing nationwide, and an additional 124 new DNP programs are in the planning stages (58 post-baccalaureate and 66...

  7. Gave up DNP

    Jules A replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

    Personally I believe it is a much stronger business degree content-wise however in our nursing arena anything that isn't a nursing degree is often minimized. So MBA probably not worth pursuing if...

  8. Gave up DNP

    Jules A replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

    Turf the pitchfork yielding, Kool Aid slurping crowd my way when they assert you can't have an opinion because you haven't done it. My critical thinking skills when I reviewed the DNP curriculum from...

  9. I found my passion but I am afraid I'm too late...

    Jules A replied to ashleynicole11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd talk to the specific school and be sure you are ready to commit this time because it sounds like you have had a couple of bad starts already. If you have a solid track record of a year or two now...

  10. New Grad Age 60 Can't Land a Job

    Jules A replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    And while it isn't fair or legal important to be mindful of our limitations and practical when making these type of changes. In my 50s it would be ridiculous if I attempted to start medical school...

  11. New NP, embarrassing salary offer!

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

    All very interesting but where exactly are these jobs requiring NPs to see only 10 patients per

  12. Future of Nurse Practitioners

    Jules A replied to Lightning Rose's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think the NP role like the RN role is an important part of our healthcare system however I also believe there will be major changes going forward. Less money and in hospitals less opportunities and...

  13. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Jules A replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agree. The reason I keep multiple jobs is to be able to walk whenever I want or wait out a low offer until the prospective employer gets that my requested rate is non-negotiable. Being in a jam leads...

  14. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Jules A replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have appreciated physicians valid concerns both due to our lack of education and filling their positions but even more so now. I'm one of the high earning NPs, the last new hire was for $50,000 less...

  15. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Jules A replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am sorry this happened to you and foresee it happening more as the sheer numbers of NPs increase. I don't have too many years left and will tap out early if it comes down to working for less than I...

  16. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Jules A replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Everyone may start as a novice but there can be a significant point spread among said

  17. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Jules A replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The cash practice psychiatrists are billing $300+ an hour and cash practice NPs are in the $150-$200 an hour range so a significant difference. The cash practices I'm familiar with have...

  18. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Jules A replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I love thinking outside the box but if you are referring to a cash practice keep in mind that unless you want to waste valuable time doing MA tasks yourself ancilary staff is a necessary and an...

  19. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Jules A replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No wonder why NPs are losing respect when being on the Mommy-track seems to be the biggest concern for

  20. MA rant

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

    Excellent advice for sure however I would still express my concerns as

  21. Gave up DNP

    Jules A replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

    Smart man. you will get a far superior education, significantly higher salary and more respect. If I wasn't so old I would have done the same. Best

  22. Gave up DNP

    Jules A replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yep. I'm not saying I found it valuable in the slightest for practice or even remotely challenging but I did feel in my area of a million universities that it was necessary to remain relevant and...

  23. Gave up DNP

    Jules A replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

    In my area no more teaching on any level except undergrad clinicals without a doctorate. Been there done that, ate my

  24. Poor orientation with a retail clinic

    Jules A replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Only sort of kidding because I actually never had one. I started with a full patient load and have only worked at one hospital where I got a formal EMR class. This was in psych a specialty where I had...

  25. Poor orientation with a retail clinic

    Jules A replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lol, nothing to do with smarts I'm sure. :) Specialty is a whole nother story and if I recall you started in nephrology. The nephrologists I know are amont the smartest
