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 young adult IOP, I round on weekends per diem in adult...

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 think there'd be high demand in my area. How the hec...

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

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 vitamin/hydration "therapy" places (actually this would be concier...

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 experienced NP advised "You can prescribed those, ...

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 information on this. Still others said refer to my h...

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 comment with a "fake news" follow-up.

I imagine that may be quite biased.

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 posted!

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. If you take it and hate it because they are awful, ...

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 thought to hire somebody to do it for me; the appli...

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 max.

You're a genius if your subject line was deliberate.

You could use a recruiter?

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

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 a basic google search and it seems like most NPs i...

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 didn't want to go the crna route and started psych 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 (granted he's a physician). He does p/t as well and says ...

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 documented. Am I doing this wrong?! I've got 2.5 mor...

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 posts!

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 research continues, doing telepsych in schools is...

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. So who are these people taking these positions? I o...

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

This was the most legitimate article I've found so far: https://www.psychcongress.com/article/getting-started-telepsychiatry

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 them and would more than likely do the same). I was...
