  1. Psych Private Practice, What's Realistic?

    NHGN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all - I've skimmed through a search on this topic and past information has been helpful, although most threads are a few years old. I am a psych NP, I have two years' experience in a...

  2. Starting An NP Business: Finding Investors?

    NHGN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all- I've been walking around with an idea to start a new business, for about six months now. I've done some basic market research and have spoken with a few similar businesses in the country. I...

  3. Fellow ship (as in MD kind) good idea?

    NHGN replied to Tony1790's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's just one guy's opinion, but check out episode 66 of The NP Dude

  4. Psych/FNP Scope -Need Your Help!

    NHGN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all - As some of you will know, I'm a psychiatric NP with full practice authority in Connecticut. I have been approached by a friend about working p/t at one of those new trendy IV...

  5. Psych/FNP Scope -Need Your Help!

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Boston - Well...I've prescribed them once or twice while under physician collaboration. But there is no way I could prove this (ie it's documented in two patients' charts from ~2 years ago). Another...

  6. Psych/FNP Scope -Need Your Help!

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jules - there's nothing on their website. I spent 30 mins on hold on the phone only to get disconnected - I'll try again tomorrow! A few experienced colleagues have thought that the BON won't have...

  7. I'm an NP student - How did you choose your specialty?

    NHGN replied to abc616's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, consider it. Columbia has a well-known DE program, right? Why wouldn't we be as scrutinizing of their results as we are of studies funded by drug companies? There's no need to sensationalize my...

    NHGN replied to abc616's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I imagine that may be quite

  9. Credentialing with Insurance Companies

    NHGN replied to andrew0623's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's only been about 6 days since I started with Anthem. I've received three calls since then. So yes, I think there's been more movement. I'll keep you

  10. new grad NP contract negotiation

    NHGN replied to travelRN555's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This sounds super sketchy to me. At least they'll pay you hourly. Basically, you could be working full time M-F (since they say up to 40hrs), with part time benefits and a measly two weeks vacation....

  11. Credentialing with Insurance Companies

    NHGN replied to andrew0623's topic in Advanced Practice

    I had just started a cash-only practice at the very end of January and wasn't seeing as much interest as I had wanted. I just got credentialed with Anthem and I'm waiting on CIGNA and Aetna. I never...

  12. Stress level: RN vs. NP

    NHGN replied to NEMurse95's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am way less stressed as a psych NP then a psych RN (or SICU RN for that matter). I see 15 pts a day max. Usually 12-14 with no shows. Two admissions

  13. Opinion about a nurse's erros

    NHGN replied to PNPss's topic in Advanced Practice

    You're a genius if your subject line was

  14. There has to be more besides indeed.com for NP job searches??!

    NHGN replied to ToFNPandBeyond's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You could use a

  15. Psych NP Inpt vs Outpt Pay

    NHGN replied to maabenaa88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it depends on the individual business. I got a $17/hr raise when I switched from a hospital to an OP community

  16. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

    NHGN replied to dmstanl1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't see any overt trolling (what am I missing!)? OP- you might get a warmer reception if you gave us some evidence of putting in your own effort in finding this info before asking here. IE "I did...

  17. Dislike RN role-- love NP role?

    NHGN replied to NEMurse95's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with the above! I did nursing in undergrad with the goal to be a crna, from the get go. Hated anything but the ICU in school. Started in a prominent trauma/SICU as a new grad. I decided I...

  18. We Are Not Paying You

    NHGN replied to mrcleanscrubs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    At the suggestion of my past Attending/mentor, I'm going to do a cash-only private practice on the side (starting with one day a week). He does the same in my town and charges $500 for intakes...

  19. Your compliance with supervision regs

    NHGN replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Um, wait. My state says "collaborate at an appropriate" level or some vague nonsense. So I have a collaborative agreement and I ask my collaborator when I have a difficult case, but none of this is...

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

    NHGN replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's actually really helpful to hear you guys' positive comments. I had a horrible night's sleep, waking up worried about money - nice to wake up to these

  21. Telepsych -Who's doing it?

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is it such a faux pas to keep adding to one's own thread? Please excuse all illogical thought, as the below is more brainstorming than anything else (though I appreciate all constructive input!) As my...

  22. Telepsych -Who's doing it?

    NHGN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all- There have been a good handful of threads started about telepsych on AllNurses in the past few years, but little responses. Yet, according to a recruiter I spoke to today, it's all the rage....

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

    NHGN replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It still doesn't feel very good, and I honestly enjoyed the job and all the education it brought. Genuinely -thanks for your support

  24. Telepsych -Who's doing it?

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This was the most legitimate article I've found so far:

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

    NHGN replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, the $85 was w/o benefits. I tried to rally my peers; the experienced ones took the "we will quietly stop picking up time" approach. And the brand-new ones accepted it (but really, I cannot blame...
