2. New grad NP job offer- questions

   SnowShoeRN replied to AMagoo923's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Hmm. Tricky. I did my program in Boston and as hard as it was for me to find a position in the city (I ended up having to move for my 1st job), I don't think I would have accepted a position with a...

3. Future plans versus the unexpected future

   SnowShoeRN replied to BlueHearts53's topic in First Year After Licensure

   SnowShoeRN replied to FranFNP13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

9. First NP job-toxic work environment vs. newbie blues

   SnowShoeRN replied to FranFNP13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Your job sounds uncannily like the place I just left. Right down to the insanely high turnover. After working in a similar practice for about 9 months, my biggest takeaway was that I went into it...
