  1. Grand Canyon University ACNP-AG

    Alisabeth replied to antowas's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That’s great! How are the clinical rotations handled? Do you find your own preceptor, does the school assist? Interested in this

  2. Public transit to get to/from work?

    Alisabeth replied to Lady_Leijing's topic in Travel

    I live in Miami- no. I live right in the Brickell (downtown) area where the metro rail, and metro mover are heavily used. Insist on a rental car. The Miami public transportation is not like New

  3. Florida FNP

    Alisabeth replied to pocovan's topic in Advanced Practice

    I’m a locum as well. I have done multiple locums all over Florida. I’m staring another locum in Miami this summer. Southwest Fl, the market is tough if you’re not bilingual. However they still...

  4. Surgical Nurse Practitioner best route

    Alisabeth replied to blancas56's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am a surgical NP, an I absolutely love my job. I was an OR nurse, and I agree with Alicia777 it really helps you get your foot in the door. I am family nurse practitioner, because I did not want me...

  5. Locum Tenens Rates

    Alisabeth replied to PG2018's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have been doing locums work as an NP for several years now, and I love it. The hourly pay to me seems to depends on the location and specialty. Family practice typically pays less, surgical...

  6. Traveling FNP

    Alisabeth replied to babsy28's topic in Travel

    Yes, I am a FNP who travels. I traveled as an RN and wanted to continue as an FNP. You're right it is very hard to find information for traveling nurse practitioners. Below is the link to my post...

  7. NICU nurse to FNP

    Alisabeth replied to lemur87's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Definitely keep your NICU PRN job, sounds like it works well with your school schedule. My BF was a NICU RN for 4 years before she became an Adult NP. She had no problem transitioning over. Your NP...

  8. New grad, no job, need help.

    Alisabeth replied to FloridaNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Have you considered doing a locum/travel assignment? Some assignments take new grads . It could help you get some NP experience and locums always pays way more than a regular job. Just a thought. The...

  9. NP Timeline

    Alisabeth replied to shannonFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had all my paperwork into the Texas BON- so they were just waiting on my test results. I had my Tx license within a month.

  10. FNP school recommendations in Miami, FL

    Alisabeth replied to newgrad17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations on your acceptance! FNP/ACNP were together in some of the same classes, so you will get to know people in both programs. The job market is tough in SoFL, especially if you are not...

  11. Job market for new grads

    Alisabeth replied to phosphorus's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The UM FNP program is tough. I think they make it that way to ensure their 100% passing rate on the board exam. The first semester is the most difficult and heaviest class workload. I think once you...

    The UM FNP program is tough. I think they make it that way to ensure their 100% passing rate on the board exam. The first semester is the most difficult and heaviest class workload. It was referred to...

  13. NP, hospital or doctors office?

    Alisabeth replied to karaleighNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The great thing about being an NP, is you can move around to different practice settings and specialities. I think you're gaining very valuable experience in the ER, and you can always move to a...

  14. No luck!!!

    Alisabeth replied to reddgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I graduated from UMiami in 2009. The job market was depressing back then as well. I would apply for everything with no luck. I was also not fluent in Spanish, so that was a huge factor in not being...

  15. What would you do? Advice Needed

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

    I think you would do very well as a PA or NP. You have to pick the program that fits you the best, and I would take the length of completion into consideration. I wanted to reply to your post because...

  16. Poll re: NP malpractice insurance

    Alisabeth replied to tryingtohaveitall's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Malpractice is very expensive, especially depending on your state. If you can afford it, it would only benefit you to have your own. From what I have been told and understand, if you purchase your own...

  17. HELP NEW NP!!!

    Alisabeth replied to jessarnp33's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are going to be fine! Someone from your new office needs to sit down with you and go over the billing codes for about 15-20 minutes. Billing seems complicated at first, buts its really not and...

  18. ICU ARNP vs Neurosurgical ARNP

    Alisabeth replied to dqbanrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a neurosurgery NP, and absolutely love it. I round in the hospital including the ICU, consults, clinic, and first assist in the OR. The OR is my favorite part of the job. With your valuable ICU...

  19. For the Locums Tenens folks

    Alisabeth replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been doing locums for awhile. No experience forming an LLC/S corp though. Your not alone in the locums:) What companies do you

  20. Is going straight into a DNP crazy or great?

    Alisabeth replied to topaz3335's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I went straight into my DNP from my MSN, and don't regret it. I think it was easier since I was already in "school mode". I think I only had 2 weeks off in between both programs. It was easy enough...

  21. Preparing for the AANP exam

    Alisabeth replied to Natural12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it helps to have a variety of study materials/books. However, on the AANP exam there were several Fitzgerald practice questions from the book on the exam- word for word. So definitely use that...

  22. FNP school recommendations in Miami, FL

    Alisabeth replied to newgrad17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a graduate of UM- FNP program. I also have several friends who did the FNP program at FIU and Barry. Put it this way, you get what you pay for. I have not heard anything negative about Barry, but...

  23. Help with first assignment

    Alisabeth replied to capeannRN's topic in Travel

    I have used PPR for travel assignments as an RN and now as a NP for the past 4 years. They are amazing!! The pay varies on the assignment. I did several last minute "emergency need" assignments, that...

  24. Florida Keys travel assignments/agencies

    Alisabeth replied to Ashley0828's topic in Travel

    Key Largo and Marathon are both in the keys and have travel assignments frequently. PPRHealthcare and Access Nurses (which I believe is now AYA travel nurse), both have assignments there. I usually...

  25. To tell or not to tell employer about pursuing DNP?

    Alisabeth replied to anny08's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I was in the middle of my DNP program when I interviewed and accepted my first position as a NP. The neurosurgeon I worked with was supportive and proud I was completing my doctorate. The surgeon and...
