I also quit a horrible NP job I was in for 6 months. I'm going to return to the bedside as well. I miss having my 4 days off. I keep hearing that if you go back to being an RN from an NP, you will be held to a higher standard. But the hospital usuall...

I just got a call back from a holistic/alternative practice. They do stem cell shots, weight loss, spinal rehab. Etc.. They have 1 ER doc there. Has anyone had any experience I this field? Is it legit?

I wish i could. But I don't have any days off to do so for my current employer.

Well they said it was more functional medicine. Ordering DME, trigger point injections, functional assessments, etc..

There are so many jobs available. The problem is nobody is willing to take the time to teach new grads the ways of the office. They're all so used to the hospital setting, the office is a completely different world. They want people with experien...

I think I hate it. I've been there for 3 months, and I can't think of one good thing about it. I do office, hospital, nursing homes, rehabs, snfs, and take call. I feel like everything is being dumped on me. At first the doctor was super helpful, b...

Wow, pczoonurse, i feel like you worked for the same doctor that I work for. He is in his office talking on his phone about other business that he he "has" to tend to, while patients are piling up. And then there are patients that only want to see h...

You have to be an FNP to do retail clinics, according to their sites you have to be comfortable taking care of 18 month old's and older. I think she said she was adult/gero. I passed my boards in September last year, and didn't start working unti...

9 years as an rn. The doc isn't available this week. I'll try talking to him next week.

I have been casually applying, but many places here require at least 1 year of experience. I'm now even seeing jobs that say don't even bother applying if you don't have 2 -3 years of experience as an NP where I live.

I hate it. I've been seeing pts on my own now, and the doc doesn't come in till late now. Sometimes he doesn't show up at all. It's been a bit over 2 months, my fiance says I look miserable all the time now. She said I'm not the same person I w...

I have no idea what I'm doing. I work for a private practice. The doctor is nice, but he's super busy. I've been "shadowing" him for a week for my first week and he's showing me the charting, what he does with the paper charts, but it's so overwhel...

I definitley miss working 3 nights a week

Update: I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing. It's been 4 weeks. But I do think I'm better than my first week, I hope. I want to like this job, but the hours are long, and my doctor's charting I feel is way too detailed compared to other doc...

I did. He said don't worry about it. His words were "If podiatrists can call themselves doctors, why can't you call yourself doctor" I still introduce myself as my first name, then the NP for him. I still don't know what I"m doing in the office,...

Hi all, I was wondering if there was a company or licensing services that would help me get my NP license in a different state without me doing the paperwork. I got my RN license in PA, but to endorse the NP license is a crazy amount of time/paper...

Wow OP. I'm exactly in your position, but still haven't landed anything yet. Everybody wants experience, and living in SoFLo many places want you to be fluent in spanish. I passed my boards in September, and Sent out my first application on October...

Hi, I start the university of Miami next week for the Arnp adult-geriatric program. I'm really nervous, and was wondering if anyone in this program or graduated from this program can give me some insight on how difficult it really is, especially sin...

Part Time. The refresher course is just like an online review with pre-tests and post tests. I'll still be working full time, so part time it is. Idk anybody in the program or graduate from it, so I'm pretty nervous.

Hey, "I need Help." I'm freaking out now because I have one more chance to pass the medication administration return demonstration. (skills check) The first time I failed it is because I ran out of time, I didn't even get to my patient's beds...
