  1. Goals & Objectives

    TX RN replied to zenman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey now, us other NP's still do blood letting techniques to treat certain blood disorders.

  2. DNP seems like a waste...

    TX RN replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  3. MDs dont own the physician title

    TX RN replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Come on guys....."LOTS of people" are doing it so it must be true.

  4. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

    TX RN replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hope no one here was offended by my post, it was really meant to be taken lightly. Nevertheless, this topic has been covered extensively. And having been in the profession a few years now, No, it's...

  5. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

    TX RN replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, I am amazed at the meaningful contributions here. The willingness of this community's members to put their personal business out there is awesome. I can't say my response is either. I would...

  6. Texas NPs

    TX RN replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Man o man, I missed a good discussion here. I practice in Texas, both for a SPECIALTY group and I also have my own solo practice that I'm building. I'd like to clarify a few innacuracies about our...

  7. Texas ACNP vs FNP practice

    TX RN replied to Uroboros's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm ACNP and practice in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Training is population specific not setting specific. OP, I'm familiar with the scenario you are describing. Some Houston hospitals...

  8. In Support of Independent NP Practice

    TX RN replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Texas didn't get the

  9. Earning potential

    TX RN replied to JUSTanLPN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In general, I don't know if it's common or not to the majority of practice types. I know it's very common in my group. There's 2 other NPs and we pretty much all have the same deal, +/- a few $k/year....

  10. Earning potential

    TX RN replied to JUSTanLPN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm ACNP and my collections for the first quarter this year are in the neighborhood of $130k. Yes, that's for 3 months. I round at facilities. Start my day most of the time when I want and end when...

  11. He Says/ She says, Who's in Charge?

    TX RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldn't quit. But I also wouldn't take direction from the OM. Plus, the doc sounds like he's a push over. I'd tell him to never have his daughter tell me how to treat. If he wants his daughter...

  12. ACNP/RNFA salary negotiations

    TX RN replied to kguill975's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did this type of job before. It's brutal. 80 hour work weeks are the norm for sure. Best of luck in your

  13. Need Your Help!! Graduating soon but Project could end my career!

    TX RN replied to Barinbass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wait it out. Plan on

  14. Salary and pay question for new NP

    TX RN replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That pay sucks. I don't know what part of the country your in but that's low, very low. Sorry I have no advice for you. Only thing I can tell you is that I wouldn't get out of bed for that money. LOL...

  15. ACNP/RNFA salary negotiations

    TX RN replied to kguill975's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Without quoting numbers, I personally would negotiate a fair base salary with room for productivity bonus. You are obviously an asset with your training and ability to bill for both procedures and...

  16. Which specialty compensated the most financially?

    TX RN replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Interesting post. I don't see it as much of a matter of specialty "type" but rather more of a contract negotiation skill. Billing and reimbursement fee schedules is something you should try and...

  17. Orthopedic FNP Texas

    TX RN replied to littlebelle1293's topic in Advanced Practice

    The following were taken from the 2008 Consensus APRN model. The link is provided on the Texas BON website. I think you're ok. Get the speciality certification once you have completed hours. Also...

  18. FNP out of country/inactive

    TX RN replied to NoleNurse2000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Any telemedicine positions you can apply for that are stateside? Also, what about

  19. How exactly can I convince my preceptor to hire me? LOL!

    TX RN replied to Bumashes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    +1 on this. I've done this and don't recommend it to anyone. What you want to know is how reimbursement works and what patient volume

  20. Orthopedic FNP Texas

    TX RN replied to littlebelle1293's topic in Advanced Practice

    I see FNP's round in hospitals in the part of Texas where I'm at. It's not that uncommon. Best of

  22. Are there medications that you don't/won't write for?

    TX RN replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I worked in a primary care clinic for about 2 years and experienced similar scenarios. Mind you, even in an urban clinic, compliance is a big problem. Our clinic offered free transportation to clinic...

  23. Canadian NPs in the USA...

    TX RN replied to tk0224's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How about asking the Canadian NP program director that question? Any history of previous students that have completed that program and are practicing in the US? And one more question. Why not just do...

  24. How do you respond to a patient asking about an advertised drug.

    TX RN replied to Floridanurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If inappropriate, then like BDDNP posted, mention the reason why it won't be rx'd and thats it. If it's a legitimate request, it has mostly to do with my familiarity and/or comfort level with the...

  25. NP in Illinois doing invasive procedures?

    TX RN replied to bwknp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've done chest tubes and central lines but live in Texas. Different boards. Maybe different scopes of practice? Not sure. I can tell you that I kept a running procedure log for future credentialing...
