How does it affect jobs with union. In the past, I have known that when Union nurses threaten a strike, the companies are forced to use Locum providers. Also are they just saying independent contractor or does that affect nurses or NPs who are given...

Are you still interested in Colorado Take a look at the board of nursing. There are some restrictions by the board and most jobs require you to have fulfilled a few before they give you interviews. I was an experienced nurse working in AZ before relo...

I think for the most part it's a good deal except CME. That CME might only cover registration for a conference and that's all. Otherwise I think the others are pretty good and standard for a first job and I do like the no non compete

At my hospital, they considered my RN experience although they took off a couple of years cod I was a new grad NP. I guess it varies per employee cos most threads I read here said RN had no basis for NP pay

I did not truly understand this frustration until I decided to move to a state with NP restrictions. Moving from AZ to CO I was shocked that I would be needing provisional prescriptive authority till I get 3000hrs. I have always had the full prescri...

it does get snow here but we are at such high elevation that it melts by afternoon (but it is still cold). I will bring a winter jacket but not like you need on the east coast. The weather has a mind of its own. It was really chilly out yesterday and...

I work very close to the Chinle hospital. To be honest at this time I like what I do as my bosses are very understanding. We are tribal organization though. One thing about working IHS is things sometime run opposite to the real world. You get to re...

I had this talk with a colleague today about VA and pay. She did mention that VA rates are based on "board" setting of pay. Certification, degree experience etc. I did mention to her that VA was paying below the wage scale. I can only imagine getting...

I currently work for an IHS facility in AZ, tribally owned. Worked here for 4 years. first as a nurse then a nurse practitioner. tribal centers are great to work for. The locums are mostly used for seeing walk ins rather than having their own patient...

TCUgirl,your experience is very similar to mine. I am 6 months into my new position and I just started getting 13pts a day. Not to any fault of mine but pt never show up for appts due to the remote location. Also I get 40 mins for new pt evaluation/P...

There are several part time jobs I have noticed. One doing Locum shift where you work 12-16 weeks at a time and you can fix your schedule. I have seen part time ED (I think that pays the most) and urgent care. In all my search, I have not seen part t...

Greygoose, although I am not actively searching for jobs I know I will relocate soon. What I have done is checked on indeed, simplyhired and I also do a blind search in Google about clinics in the city I will be moving to. I click on their websites ...

And I was informed Medicaid do not reimburse much for those DOT physicals as they do PEs. We've been trying to get my employer to be on board

Frontier provides a list of preceptors used by past students. I will advise you to ask the school for the site and go over it with a fine tooth comb. If you do t find anything there, you will have to do some leg work also. Goodluck

I got job offers from all my clinical sites before graduation or even applying. Both Primary care and Urgent Care. I chose a different site because it was closer to work. I graduated in July. Started work in oct. I started late because I wanted time ...

I will say to look at the contract really well before you sign anything. Although I am not aware of NHSC, I know the IHS loans are taxable income. For example if you receive 20k in loan, taxes will be taken out before it is disbursed (little above 1...

When I first considered going back to school, it was more to get my masters and maybe some increase in pay. Now I have better job satisfaction than when I was an RN. I didn't know I would like it this much but I do. I still get the days I'm frustrate...

Well if I had to do vitals, immunization a, get UA, run it to lab and then do all the other stuff I don't think I will be able to see more than 12 a day. If the MDs are given a nurse then I expect to be treated equally. I have roomed pts before but o...

I graduated from frontier this past July. They prepare you well for boards and well as can be for practice. Had trouble with clinical as I live in a remote area, and even though there were some kinks we were able to work it out. As of the time of m...

I worked as a case manager in a primary care clinic. Calling patients back with lab results, some diagnosis and ordering medications when patients were discharged from other facilities. This allowed me an insight to lab values, some guidelines and me...

i bought the FamilyNPPrep/ Exam edge. They had the 10, 20 and 30 set exam questions. You could also get coupon codes for 10% off. there were some repeated questions but not that many in my 10 set.

Have a friend/NP who works as a nurse informatic. I think she just had a bad experience as an NP. Never really asked why

Yes you can continue working and if you take the AANP you can take the boards sooner after graduation. I took my boards 10days after graduation and passed. I sent in AANP application 2 weeks before graduation (but you can apply 6months prior) and the...

Hmmm, I think 45 is too low as you will not be paid any benefits. As an RN part-timers are paid more. I know an NP in a rural ER who makes 70part time. So I say go for 60.

Well Alicia, I don't know what state you are in, but in Az after you pay for your NP license once you don't have to pay again. When it's time to renew, you renew just your RN license and your NP license is automatically renewed (therefore you don't p...
