   greygooseuria replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

6. How are you saving for retirement?

   greygooseuria replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Real estate is actually one of the riskiest places to invest in (see: the housing bubble). Also, your income is at the mercy of your tenants. If they don't pay, you have to go through a whole...

7. Psych NPs: Do you touch your clients?

   greygooseuria replied to resilientnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    greygooseuria replied to EMEddie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

14. Dangerous to be psych NP

    greygooseuria replied to wayemika's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, you'll be fine. Providers are rarely assaulted, even in psych. Drug seekers worry me more than those with mental illness. Someone with a psychiatric disorder is far more dangerous to themselves...

    greygooseuria replied to EMEddie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
