    Nurses who have their own business?

    I'm not an LNC, but have had my own business since 2014 and went full-time with it in 2020. What kind of business are you wanting to start?

    Business Ideas

    You can do anything you like, it doesn't have to be nursing-related. What hobbies or interests do you and your wife have? Do you want to work remotely or have to go "out in the field" to complete your work? Are you going to offer ...

    One More Week Until I Leave Bedside…Forever

    Life after NP...

    Funny this topic should pop-up considering I'm strongly looking to get out of clinical work. This month marks 18 years as a nurse, with 5 as an NP. I enjoy making things (processes) easier and teaching others. Like others have said, I don't want to...
  6. Check out Duke University's post-masters cerfications. They have cardiology, endocrinology, HIV/AIDS, Ortho, Oncology and VA care. I'm applying to the ortho program that starts this fall. Good luck!

    Occupational Health NP!!!

    Way too low. I'm in Occ Health and my base is $110,000, this does not include my monthly bonuses and my stipend. I'm in Texas though and that may be the difference.
  8. I've been a nurse for awhile and have always contemplated what makes nurses leave the profession (or bedside for that manner). As a matter of fact, I have thought about it from time to time in the 13 years I've been a nurse. From my experience I have...

    Why I'm leaving nursing

    What a timely post. I've been in nursing for 15 years and have contemplated many times ways to leave nursing. I've obviously been unsuccessful because I'm still in nursing, although I'm an NP now. My role is different, but I still feel the effects of...

    How are you saving for retirement?

    I've heard about the "backdoor" Roth before, but I'm still confused on some points. I have both a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA (not with the same company). Because of my income, I won't be able to contribute to the Roth anymore. Do you have to open...

    Private Practice- maternity leave?

    How long will it take you to set up tele visits for your practice? Have you even looked into it? 5 mins from home without a kid is vastly different when you have one. You won't want to be too far after the baby is born.

    Telemedicine for FNP

    I do this, but don't work from home. I've written about it on the forums previously and I'm on a phone so I can't search for my old posts now. What states do you live in? My company has remote clinics in a variety of states.

    How to get DOT certificate

    I've been looking into getting certified too. Is the CMV Medical Examiner Training from AANP the same thing? You have one year of access to the study material and the price is only $150 if you are a member. That sure beats the $300-$400 range I've be...

    sutures

    I think this would be better in the NP forum.

    Is there a market for tele-NPs?

    1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes 4. Yes 5. Yes Pros include flexibility, keeping up with technology, being able to see patients quicker, seeing more patients (working in different time zones). Cons I currently see with my position are connection issues, remote ...

    Telemedicine for NPs

    Hi OU Nurse. My company is based out of Texas. I don't know how the international aspect would work. We don't have any contracts in the VA/DC area. Bstacy- the remote NPs work out of an office in whatever city they live and do the consults from ther...

    Telemedicine for NPs

    I do remote consults in one of my positions. Which state do you live in?

    Healthcare business knowledge

    You don't need an MBA to start your own business. Just be knowledgeable and educate yourself with books, the Internet, speaking with others in your desired field. Talk to your local SCORE agency, they have TONS of free information on small business ...

    Words You Hate

    I hate it when I hear a pregnant woman referring to her baby as a fetus...I mean what woman actually says that? Same with doctors, just say baby! It seems so impersonal.

    NCLEX Classes: Teaching?

    So it looks like all these guides have been released recently within the last year. He looks like he's been busy writing all these guides and published them all around the same time. What a great concept. I wonder how long it took him to put all this...

    Fitness Nursing

    I'm appalled at how negative some of these comments are. OP, if you want to start your own business and your passion is fitness, go with it! You're just going to have to think out the box. As any business owner should know, you shouldn't expect your...

    Entrepreneurs

    Interesting Xenogenetic, I'd like to diversify my real estate investments and heard investing in Senior housing was a good market too but haven't heard the psych angle yet. Are these just single family homes that have room to house such facilities o...

    Entrepreneurs

    At this point I just want to use my degree to fund other business ventures. I'm most interested in investing in real estate.

    I took the plunge...it feels weird

    Congrats! May your new job open new doors for you!
  25. I felt like a glorified maid a good deal of the time I was at the bedside.
