    ACNP or AGACNP? Help?

    ghillbert replied to LIZZYICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    More work, no pay increase..

    ghillbert replied to Muse4723's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I bet he is appropriately compensated too. He chose to do medicine and accepted those hours. You did not. However if you are not even being paid what a new NP is you definitely should push it....

    TN then HB-1? Permenant residency question

    ghillbert replied to Mike32110's topic in Immigration Advice

    Not realistic. A few things: - You need SSN in order to have FL nursing license issued - If you had a SSN previously it is yours for life. Find out if you have one as that could impact your process...

    Graduating in July and pregnant...advice deeply appreciated

    ghillbert replied to almostaNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It has no bearing on your clinical placements and I wouldn't think it was relevant to discuss with potential preceptors UNLESS the pregnancy will affect your ability to work - such as in oncology or...

    NP specialty? TX? Advice?

    ghillbert replied to newGNTX's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It is not accurate to say that - if you are certified as "adult acute care", you can only see adults, age as defined by your state. You'd have to do both ACPNP and ACNP to be able to see both. Acute...

    PA new grad pay

    ghillbert replied to kelseykelsey4's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It will definitely depend where you are working - cost of living is lower in Pittsburgh compared to Philadelphia so I would expect that salaries are also. You'd also have to take the benefits into...

    NP's: do you give some patients your cell number?

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

    I'm thinking about changing my cell number so my colleagues don't have it, unless work wants to provide me with a work phone. Seriously. People text, call or email me just about every day off. I have...

    UPMC in Pittsburgh offers tuition reimbursement for dependents for a first bachelor degree. I believe it's $6000/yr. The universities in town also offer discount tuition for UPMC employees; some as...

    More work, no pay increase..

    Maybe true for your area, but this is absolutely not true for most of the US. I can't hire enough ACNPs and I get recruitment emails daily via Linked

    Paying for NP school

    ghillbert replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did it, but I was doing ACNP so most of my clinicals were in areas that are 24/7 and I was able to do a lot of weekend/night shift clinicals to fit it in. I did it very slowly over 4 yrs too. I also...
