  1. Is the compensation worth it?

    DucatiNP replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    +1 Cara, I took the pay cut from 60 to 41 because I couldn't do 1 more night of bedside. I think I gave 3 wks notice but used up 2.5 wks of sick / vacation because I couldn't stand

  2. Is the compensation worth it?

    DucatiNP replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Trauma, I took a pay cut from $60 to $41 and I'm starting to think I shouldn't have. Now I feel that even if I move to a 'higher paying job' the next employer will see the $41 and just try to top...

  3. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

    DucatiNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Will some new grad nurse practitioners chime in please? I just got out of school and now that I'm working, I'm just seeing patients, in / out, in /out, in / out (in hematology). I do 1 cool workup...

  4. Any NP's prescribing medical marijuana

    DucatiNP replied to subee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My state is also schedule 2-5, but when I had my residency at an HIV clinic we were able to fill out a Referral to a Cannibis

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

    Save - What if you didn't have a 2 year contract? How long would you stay at your 'Entry Level NP'

  6. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

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

    Yes specialty makes more money around here also (I think), I've been in hematology for almost a year and it feels like the 'same old same old'. You say you'll focus on Neuro/Pain for a 'few' years?...

  7. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

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

    Pumping patients to me is doing follow ups all day. Yes it's necessary for chronic conditions (and others), but there is less 'thinking' involved than initial diagnosis. I don't plan to 'end up'...

  8. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

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

    With 8 NPs competing for the same job, the hospitals can almost do a reverse auction on us (I've seen it done for Admin Assistants at my private college) '$90k? You sir! $80k? Lady in the hat! $70k!...

  9. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

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

    I just took the one I got. Interviewed for 2 positions (would have been three but Kaisr was 6 months too slow). 1st, was beat out (c 7 others) by someone c military experience for a VA job (of...

  10. What is the average hourly pay for a FNP

    DucatiNP replied to chyrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just posting to make sure this inspirational thread stays on top! Once I have a year of experiance I'll take a stab at the job market

  11. NPI number

    DucatiNP replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wonder how much that person at your work got paid for the 3 minutes of work (& days of sitting) they did to get your NPI

  12. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

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

    Siri, seven years of looking around sounds so long to me. I want perfect and I want it now (haha). I think urgent care / ED would be great. I guess I should look at what teaching has to offer

  13. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

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

    I have a habit of carefully watching the wiser / older crowd (that has tried many positions) and see what position they preferred best. The 2 older NPs that I know chose teaching over everything else...

  14. NPI number

    DucatiNP replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    From what I have read the UPIN isn't needed anymore, just NPI. And getting the NPI was easy for me when I got it, just did it online and 1 confirmation email and that was

  15. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

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

    I feel you TraumaRUs, the staff and patients are wonderful. On average specialty has more time per patient than primary care, so the job is great but boring! The NP job market in the Bay Area is tight...

  16. I'm a New Grad NP and I'm just pumping patients for 'the man'.

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

    daisy, my plan was to be in family practice (i'm an fnp) but the need (in the bay area) is in specialty. i did a quick search of the bay area, ca and for every 1 low pay primary care position there...

  17. NP salaries

    DucatiNP replied to brookesbuddy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Joe, how much were you getting paid as an NP in California? To add to the thread, I'm a new Nor Cal NP and haven't been working for a year yet, but I'm estimating 60k doing 36hr/wk in
