  1. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

    djmatte replied to SurgicalNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Imo you should eat what you kill. We literally bill for 85% off what an MD bills for. That's where the value of their advanced degree should lie. Midlevels make a fraction of what they bring in while...

  2. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

    djmatte replied to SurgicalNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Arguably many clinics are utilizing NPs to subsidize the salaries of physicians. They can justify paying a physician closer to or even above what they bring in on the backs of much lower paid NPs who...

  3. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

    djmatte replied to SurgicalNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Being more realistic on what we bring in and what our value is to a clinic is something hugely lacking in any NP discussion regarding pay. Sadly too many are willing to settle or are unfamiliar with...

  6. Sick of other NPs abusing patients - psych practice

    djmatte replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't flatter yourself. Nobody here misses the desperate pleas for validation and empathy that only turn into long winded retorts and self victimization when people simply offer advice. It's a...

  10. Sick of other NPs abusing patients - psych practice

    djmatte replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This! Don't frustrate yourself with the shortfalls or failures around you. Mention it to those who need to know and move on. I see more providers burn themselves out just from bitching endlessly in...

  13. Just got banned from the NP Reddit

    djmatte posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why is it nurse practitioners are so against getting called out for ethics questions and borderline malpractice? Someone boasted about their colleague making 3-4 k a month tapping into needs for...

  14. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

    djmatte replied to SurgicalNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I figured I would throw in a military perspective for an FNP. I returned to active duty Air Force. So there's a different breakdown compared to civilian. Bear in mind these numbers vary with location...

  15. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    djmatte replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Decent education isn't expensive. Comparatively, convenient education is more expensive. And unfortunately the for profit convenience warehouses are pumping out thousands a year which becomes a huge...

    djmatte replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    first off you lost your petitioning credibility when your stopped being a nurse and decided to become a doctor. We thankfully govern ourselves in most states. We can't get our governing bodies...

  17. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    djmatte replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The title adds context for sure. And at the end of the day it's still trolling behavior that this profession neither needs nor appreciates. I'm sure there are plenty of doctor forums eagerly awaiting...

    When you do that on a forum for nurses and nurse practitioners, it's the definition of

  19. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    djmatte replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Perspective is fine until it gets to the point of unsolicited "advice" and putting down of our chosen profession. Which has been done here in the past. We don't invite doctors to openly talk down to...

    djmatte replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nothing odd about it. It's the same system that supported you before you decided you felt you were better than our chosen career. Maybe there's a good doctor from you can go bury your woes in the...

    djmatte replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    APRN "residencies" aren't that in the classic sense. Most of them are taking a pay cut for a more educational and therefore lighter schedule. But I'm fairly certain they are still billing as providers...

    djmatte replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Despite our realistic views of our profession, why are you still here? Still enjoy slumming it with the less thans or just can't quite fit in with your new crowd? We're here to push and promote our...

  25. For-Profit, Nonselective NP Schools are Hurting Our Reputation and Credibility

    djmatte replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's a mixed bag. I think most want tighter standards/expectations. But Heaven forbid we challenge the quality of someone's questionable school or education quality out of mills that see thousands of...
