  2. Tips to increasing efficiency as an Outpatient NP?

    Alicia777 replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I’ll be using Epic which everyone raves about. We have it at my hospital now as an external ‘view-only’ and it looks user friendly so I know a bit about navigating. I’ll be working in urology...

  4. Procedures as an FNP

    Alicia777 replied to Jpiittmann97's topic in Advanced Practice

  5. Surgical NPs—Progress Note question adding attending?

    Alicia777 replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That makes sense. No, we don’t currently bill. It’s just funny because this particular surgeon is the only one who seems to care, so I have to remind myself to add him which is practice

  6. NP with prior discipline

    Alicia777 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would probably look into asking your own PCP, NP/PA or anyone that you've come in contact with at you own health appointments. At least someone who 'knows you' might take pity LOL and give you a...

    Alicia777 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  10. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

    Alicia777 replied to SurgicalNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Also a FNP Surgical NP here ?.... I posted a lengthy post years back regarding how I got interested in the role but my RN background is as an OR RN. So while you are correct the FNP program...

  11. FNP Hasn't Passed Certification Boards

    Alicia777 replied to nononsense's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Give yourself a break. This past year has been extremely tough on everyone. How about step away from the test prep and get yourself into some guided meditations or yoga. Dealing with your stress will...

  12. First NP job... Did you negotiate the salary?

    Alicia777 replied to RN/WI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Absolutely negotiate!! -I took my time because I wanted a role more in line with a PA position with first-assisting in OR, and being a surgical NP so overall it took me roughly 6 months. -My...

  15. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    Alicia777 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Admittedly I have not read all of the comments but I went to a mediocre, but popular, program which had 400+ students. My program had one person who was supposed to assist in our finding of preceptors...

  16. Can I get paid while my insurance credentialing goes through?

    Alicia777 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi All— I’m in the midst of getting my first clinic job and I am waiting to speak with HR again. When you got your first clinic position in regards to health insurance credentialing—were...

  17. Advice

    Alicia777 replied to Anonymous489's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That’s frustrating. Couldn’t tell by your post—Did you give them enough time to actually reimburse you? If PPE was your only issue and you liked the job otherwise, I probably would have stuck...

  18. Questioning My Future While in NP School

    Alicia777 replied to SN2751's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While I don't work in primary care, I can touch on a couple of your questions. I think it would be abnormal to walk into a new role and feel like you know what you're doing, right? So imposter...

    Alicia777 replied to Butterfly922's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  20. Can the MNA (MA Union) actually limit my salary?

    Alicia777 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey there— I’m in the midst of taking a new role. My surgeon wanted to give me a huge (40K/year) raise from what I’m making now. The clinic is a part of the Massachusetts union and he was...

  21. Surgical NP

    Alicia777 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've received quite a few PMs recently regarding how I became a surgical NP. Which specialty is the best route and in general what my typical day looks like so I thought I'd post something. I...

    Alicia777 replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My role is primarily breast (mastectomy, lumpectomy, reductions), orthopedics (bipolar hips, TKR, THR) and urology (cysts, litho, hydroceles, penile implants, microsurgical cases) these days, although...

  23. Surgical NP

    Alicia777 replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  25. Who has transitioned from inpatient to specialty?

    Hi all. I'm in the midst of transitioning from an inpatient surgical NP position (which has unfortunately turning into less operating time and into a ICU role) to a urology clinic position which...
