  1. First job woes

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

    Low 100s in Baltimore is probably comparable to low 90s in Florida COL wise??? Hopefully others will

  2. First job woes

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

    No local contacts? You could always counter. It also depends on where it is. Baltimore is getting almost as expensive as DC but the western and eastern shore are still reasonably priced, provided you...

  3. First job woes

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

    Maryland? Way low in my opinion but the 6 month orientation is a nice perk, unbelievable but nice if you need

  4. Pay

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

    Probably 1099

  5. MA training problems

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

    Nothing seems to work better , especially if there are competing staff members in need of their services, to get the lead out than regular treats and the occasional thank you note with gift card to...

  6. FNP to PA?

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

    Unfortunately it was "fine" with you until you realized what you didn't know. If you had been a RN you would have had professional contacts and a better handle on the nuances of the FNP as a PCP vs...

  7. Maryville vs Walden

    Jules A replied to Hiking RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Those are your top

  8. NP Commission Pay

    Jules A replied to npjuju's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think we are saying the same thing but disagree on the expectation upon board certification? :) I believe new grads NPs absolutely SHOULD be comparable to a residency trained physician with regard...

  9. NP Commission Pay

    Jules A replied to npjuju's topic in Advanced Practice

    I guess it is the reality but accepting an unacceptable reality is lame. All of the physicians I have worked with after residency, while green, are ready to take on a full patient load. Again how sad...

  10. Standardization of NP Education

    Jules A replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    GRE is a weed out. I'm not sure what the determination of "success" is, if its passing the insultingly easy boards I'm not impressed. The time and money don't phase me, why wouldn't it be expected...

  11. Standardization of NP Education

    Jules A replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The research and statistics wouldn't have bothered me if I didn't have them for my BSN, MSN and DNP. Great idea to combine theory and ethics. I agree the ethics component is important but damn an...

  12. New NP pay

    Jules A replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    What state? Because for example in FL maybe a decent deal but in DC not a good

  13. NP Commission Pay

    Jules A replied to npjuju's topic in Advanced Practice

    So I didn't consider it "being thrown to the wolves" and while I agree with much of what you say how awful that instead of insisting we are sufficiently trained to work to our full scope upon board...

  14. NP Commission Pay

    Jules A replied to npjuju's topic in Advanced Practice

    You make good points but I think it depends on the practice and the new grad. Back in the day there was no such thing as ramp up time. NPs were expected to start for a full salary with a full load....

  15. NP Commission Pay

    Jules A replied to npjuju's topic in Advanced Practice

    How many therapists do you keep employed? The money isn't being made on the prescribers. No benefits its

  16. Standardization of NP Education

    Jules A replied to RN-dancer's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well 45% of them anyway per the referenced study.

  17. New NP pay

    Jules A replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    Smart move to negotiate the immediate increase once you got your bearings. I'm hoping you are able to get your work done during the work day now. I think Florida is one of the lowest paying states but...

  18. NP Commission Pay

    Jules A replied to npjuju's topic in Advanced Practice

    Probably depends on the geographic area and specialty but this sounds very low. Around here psych NPs are getting

  19. ACNP and Phmnp

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

    It has very little to do with psychotherapy, which NPs really don't do anyway, or interacting with loved ones. It is about the differentials and the medications, seeing what they do, the doses and...

  20. ACNP and Phmnp

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

    It makes me both sad and angry to see this sentiment although I know it is a common belief. First if you think most of these finance driven NP programs provide a solid base in anything you are...

  21. For Reelz

    Jules A replied to NutmegNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    For future reference, you should have responded by politely but firmly declining at the very beginning. Once you open the door you are done. The "team player" line is a successful tactic which causes...

  22. NP preceptor programs at Boston College

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

    Refreshing! Someone interested in a quality program as opposed to all the requests for the cheapest,

  23. First job woes

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

    If I had refused to discuss the many insulting offers, both intentional and ill informed, I would have missed several excellent opportunities. Its business not personal. I continue repeating my rate...

  24. Taking call, do NPs get paid call pay?

    Jules A replied to mep7296's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thats a nice rate. I also don't ever have to go in and am now making between $350-$500 for overnight call depending on the number of admissions. When I make at the high end of that range it can be...

  25. NPs who don't bill

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

    The good news is you and your colleagues are volunteers not victims and the compensation issues can be addressed. I'm shocked it has been asserted that this is fraud. From what OP has posted and my...
