  1. Is this a good new grad NP offer?

    Alicia777 replied to AGUS821's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    End of story? Weird. I was just commenting on my experience as an RN to NP. I asked to be matched and I was. It goes without saying that a hospital has no obligation to pay beyond what they want to...

  2. Is this a good new grad NP offer?

    Alicia777 replied to AGUS821's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agree with others this seems low. I’m in Boston too but graduated 7 years ago. Given your experience 115-118K sounds more appropriate. Ask! You never know until you try and negotiate. What...

  11. Surgical NP's

    Alicia777 replied to dana16's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  14. Shockingly low NP pay !

    Alicia777 replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Please do not accept an NP job for 70K a year. I don't care what part of the country you're in-this is insulting. Starting salary should be 100K

  15. New NP pay

  16. Why do some practices prefer PAs to NPs?

    Alicia777 replied to mep7296's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  18. Surgical NP

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

    Hey there! From my perspective back in 2010 when I entered NP school FNP made the most sense-as ANCP programs were not as widely available. ACNP probably is the better choice now, as this will allow...

  24. I need advice!

    Alicia777 replied to BSN2FNP1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
