It doesnt sound like it is worth the headaches and probably not that financially rewarding otherwise you would see a lot of clinics with just the NP's name on the sign. I dont recall seeing one here in Ca. All the extra schooling and problems with starting a new business dont seem to be outweighed by any major financial advancement. Can a NP with their own clinic in California make over $100,000 a year? If not, then Im not seeing it being worth it. Ill stay where Im at. Maybe this should be my next thread.

Thank You Tammy.

NPinWCH thank you for your post but can people only reply regarding California. Sometimes replies can cause the thread to spin into something unrelated then the original question. But again thank you for your post and trying to help.

I would like to know if a FNP can open their own small clinic and see patients in California? Thank You

Can I go a little in depth on this one. Lets say you want to keep your Mon-Fri RN job but hire someone to be there. Lets say you hire a CNA and pay them $12/hour x 24 hours x 30 days a month. Your monthly payroll will be $8640. Now, if you are licensed to have 6 or less, you would need to have 4 Patients always just to cover the CNA . At your $2500 rate. According to the CCLD here in Ca. " 85065 PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS (Continued) 85065 (4) Where the facility can demonstrate that its clients are self-directed to the extent that they are able to plan, organize and conduct the facility's activity program themselves, the licensing agency shall be permitted to waive these requirements. 85065.5 DAY STAFF-CLIENT RATIO 85065.5 (a) Whenever a client who relies upon others to perform all activities of daily living is present, the following minimum staffing requirements shall be met: (1) For Regional Center clients, staffing shall be maintained as specified by the Regional Center but no less than one direct care staff to three such clients. (2) For all other clients, there shall be a staff-client ratio of no less than one direct care staff to three such clients. 85065.6 NIGHT SUPERVISION 85065.6 (a) Night supervisory staff shall meet the personnel requirements specified in Section 80065, and the requirements below. (b) Employees providing night supervision from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., as specified in © through (f) below, shall be available to assist in the care and supervision of clients in the event of an emergency, and shall have received training in the following: (1) The facility's planned emergency procedures. (2) First aid, as specified in Section 80075. © In facilities providing care and supervision for 15 or fewer clients, there shall be at least one person on call on the premises.

Do we need to report our CEU to some office in Illinois so they dont pull our license? Who is the record keeper, I just want to make sure they know Im up to date and my license is current. Thank You

thanks for mentioning having a job before moving because i was pondering asking for a leave of absense and just moving there into a month to month apartment and hitting the pavement each day until i got a job....... I still might do this but not until i atleast have my CA. RN license in hand. that ball is rolling tommarow morning.

1.The increase in pay from Illinois to California ($7/hour) will cover my rent for the month, so basically I will be living there for free. 2. I had three patients yesterday, I work in the ICU. This is a big motivator of why Im trying to get to California! 3. This winter it got to be 15 below zero, my 2006 car wouldnt start, my left knee pain felt great:angryfire. I promised myself that when it warmed up I wasnt going to forget that day and do everything I could to get to somewhere warm. Filled out 3 online applications for LA hospitals today............light a few candles for me
