    NP Salary in Memphis, TN.

    anh06005 replied to chakanext's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it really just depends on the area. I read some threads here where some in cities make higher than I do. My school told us the class a year or two before averaged 70k with their first jobs so...

    Do you as an FNP see newborns?

    anh06005 replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    Maybe they see it as a liability? The other clinics I mean. If I was expected to see a newborn you better know I'd be looking some stuff up to refresh myself lol. A 6 month old with an ear infection?...

    Almost done and job search Qs -- Thanks!

    anh06005 replied to edmia's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I looked on Indeed.com and it had many listings from local employer's sites. Make sure to check with local urgent cares as they often have 12 hour shifts and might be more willing to do weekend only...

    Do you as an FNP see newborns?

    anh06005 replied to GoodNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    FNP's are certified to see all ages. I have yet to see a newborn when I was with a FNP (or in the few weeks of working) but I did when I was with a pediatrician. Many parents take their babies to peds...

    New NP job update.

    anh06005 replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's much more like a puzzle in some cases. Just had a patient I was thinking had a guttate psoriasis with psoriatic arthritis. The pt followed up today and I asked for one of the MD's to check things...

    anh06005 replied to Djprepan's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I agree with the other posters. I still have cards and small things patients have given me and I love them. I just started a new job and a doile (spelling??) a patient made me is going to go on my...

    New grad FNP

    anh06005 replied to lauris4luv's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm in Arkansas and cost of living is pretty low here. After about 5 years of experience as an RN I wound up at close $50K. I am a few weeks into my NP job in a smaller city (25,000 ish) with a salary...

    Nurse Practitioner vs Physicians Assistant

    anh06005 replied to _iamkel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I feel like either way you go RN experience can be beneficial for sure. Even if you're a PA with RN experience you're going to have that nursing background and it will likely affect your PA practice....

    How did you pay for nursing school? Help...I'm in a pickle!

    anh06005 replied to dc1994's topic in General Students

    Even if you only work weekends your loans could be smaller come graduation. If you can swing working, do it. It's great to graduate and have your debt paid off quickly after graduation. It's what I...

    Schools Still Offering MSN?

    anh06005 replied to sertile's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Arkansas still has plenty. ASU in Jonesboro, UAMS, UCA, Harding in Searcy is starting their again, and I think U of A in Fayetteville (maybe?). I believe all of them are the "hybrid" type where you...

    What is the next step after NP graduation?

    anh06005 replied to Yeganehriaz's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes you need a job first!! After getting the job and collaborative agreement you can apply for prescriptive authority and NPI (I think NPI asks for where you will practice). After you get prescriptive...

    Nurse Practitioner vs Physicians Assistant

    anh06005 replied to _iamkel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PA school will teach you about all ages in acute and primary care situations. If you're sure you prefer peds rather than adults I'd think either neonatal NP or pediatric NP. Maybe even dual certify...

    Does the University you get your BSN from matter?

    anh06005 replied to sarahstjohn3's topic in Ohio Nursing

    As others have said I'd go where the scholarships are. If the school offering the scholarship is accredited, has good NCLEX pass rates, and you like the campus then GO! It's so nice to graduate with...

    Schooling

    anh06005 replied to kcassoday's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Very true. I see that as just a more integrated BSN/MSN lol. But absolutely there are some schools who allow you to enter with only the RN. Kind of wish I had done that with my MSN with the DNP but...

    Pain Scales

    anh06005 replied to GPSteiner's topic in General Nursing

    I also love the funny type pain scales. I know pain is subjective and I know some learn to deal with it. I also know some know what to say to get pain meds. There are times a patient says their pain...

    It might also be good to speak to the nursing schools you are considering and explaining the situation. They may have tips for improving your odds of acceptance. Everyone makes stupid mistakes...

    anh06005 replied to kcassoday's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You have to have your BSN also. Then you complete your MSN in whatever specialty you want to go (family, adult, peds, mental health, acute care, etc.). This can take 2-3 years if you go full time. I...

    TOMS, Vans, Converse?

    anh06005 replied to msnorth's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You can get a decent pair of vans that are more of the wipeable material you would need. I would advise AGAINST Toms. I love them but they just don't do well wearing them on a concrete floor for hours...

    ICU Interview Questions

    anh06005 replied to 26.2, BSN's topic in Critical Care

    As PP's have said keep everything positive. When I left the floor I left due to them increasing the ratios and the stress caused me to hate work. A positive spin on that is saying my time on the...
