    Any Nurse Practitioners work at a Medical Marijuana Referal Clinic? Please share your experiences, I'm going to interview at one to see what it's all about, some / any info will help.

  2. Did I fail my 5 NP job interviews somehow?

    DucatiNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've read all the "interview do's and don'ts" I can google but I've had 5 NP job interviews and no offers. Is this normal to have that many interviews and no offers? 1st interview: at a pain...

  3. Please Help: Just accepted a job offer- questions re: contract negotiation

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

    +1 on having an MD evaluating your practice. My "admin supervisor" does my eval at my hospital and it's a nightmare. It's this way because my consulting MD is only paid 1 hour per week to take my...

  4. Did I fail my 5 NP job interviews somehow?

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

    Pain management, yes. It was so nice there and you can tell the profits from the practice were bring put directly back into the practice and not someones pocket. Derm, yes. the Derm MD used to have an...

  5. Did I fail my 5 NP job interviews somehow?

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

    Thanks for the reply Cardiology EP NP. I’m an FNP and you’re right, those jobs weren’t a perfect fit for me. But I entertained the interview to really find out they weren’t for me. But if...

  7. New grad FNP- will taking this job pigeon hole me?

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

    If you have the financial means to job search for the job you want full time. Do it. Especially while your in the "student finances" mentality. I feel like I've been "pigeon

  8. Where to practice your Spanish before you practice in Spanish?

    DucatiNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have taken every college Spanish class my university offered and aced them all, even Spanish for healthcare professionals. But Spanish isn't my 1st language and when it comes to something important...

  9. Slightly experienced NP having trouble finding job as an NP in the Bay Area, CA

    DucatiNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone know how the job market in the Bay Area, CA is? From my point of view its pretty tough. 15 applications sent out. 4 interviews (3 of which I only got because I had a friend working there)....

  10. Slightly experienced NP having trouble finding job as an NP in the Bay Area, CA

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

    Thanks TX RN. What do you ride? Some of my 50 year old patients say that your body will want to give up motorcycles (sportbikes) as you get older (they used to ride). It just gets too hard and no...

  11. Slightly experienced NP having trouble finding job as an NP in the Bay Area, CA

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

    Thanks TX RN, I'll look at usajobs.gov. I ride a Monster 696, I think I was turned down from a NP position at a Spine Rehab place because I mentioned I had a

  12. Management favoritism to the other NP in my practice

    DucatiNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Management favors the other NP in the practice I work at. The manager lets the other NP get away with surfing the internet for half her day. I feel like that's letting her get away with too much, like...

  13. Management favoritism to the other NP in my practice

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

    Thanks for your reply WestCoastGirl. About patient volume and satisfaction; the lazy NP sees about 8 patients a day, and does recieve complaints. The manager turns a blind eye to it. For volume,...

  14. Management favoritism to the other NP in my practice

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

    Thanks Sunray, Your #1: Thanks for pointing that out. That just confirms Gator's response that the manager is making excuses for the lazy older NP. Your #2: I am in a larger organization and I...

  15. Management favoritism to the other NP in my practice

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

    Thanks Gator, When your new employer asked, how did you word your bad situation into something constructive? And how many months or weeks notice did you give resignation to your old employer?

  16. How to tell a drug rep to shut up?

    DucatiNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How do you politely tell a drug rep to shut up? What really gets me is when they tell me to check to DNS box! If the patient wants brand name they'll ask the damn PharmD! Other than that my...

  17. California Nurse Practitioners Practice Protocol?

    DucatiNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm in my 1st NP position and from what I learned in school, all you needed to practice was a Standardized Procedure which is about 2-3 pages in length. Now my Admins are requesting me to make my...

  18. Were you happy with your preperation?

    DucatiNP replied to ericdb68's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm content with my clinical preparations from school. A physician once said to me, "So, your in year 8 of Medicine. I remember that year, the steep part of the learning curve is still ahead of you."...

  19. Full time NP position requires you to cover RN duties at times?

    DucatiNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm just asking because my admin sees that I have some breaks in between patients, some almost an hour long, and while I can do 'backburner' things for my clinic (my job), she wants me to go the...

  20. Full time NP position requires you to cover RN duties at times?

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

    Great point, I am held to the NP standard of care! I was trying to put that into words when (without warning) the admin RN had me 'watch' / orient to the advice nurse position. I said to my...

  21. Full time NP position requires you to cover RN duties at times?

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

    Thanks Selke, 1) I'd think it would set a bad precedent for you to start "helping out" the MAs/RNs in the clinic; they will come to just see you as a glorified nurse and expect you to fill in...

  22. Full time NP position requires you to cover RN duties at times?

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

    She evaluates me because I'm the main healthcare provider at my anticoagulation clinic, the MD is just available for consult by phone. I also get evaluated by the MD. RN duties are not in my contract....

  23. How to tell a drug rep to shut up?

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

    Hek no. When I prescribe I know enough about the med (it would be unsafe not to). It's just nice to get answers to off the wall peer reviewed study questions. I don't need their info, the stuff is...
