  1. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If the BSN was also certified in oncology, then who do you think they would hire? Don't kid yourself...education

  2. Billing Issue

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

    Thanks for the information. Something else, one of the docs I work for keeps saying that if Obama becomes president, then that will be very bad for doctors, but good for NP's. I don't know where...

  3. Billing Issue

    ANPFNPGNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I talked to a NP last night who's going back to school for his DNP. He SWORE that we can bill at 100% of the doctor rate through several insurance companies and Medicare with a DNP. I had never...

  5. part time NP job what should I expect them to pay for?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've never heard of a part-timer getting any benefits. Although, you should get paid more per hour compared to someone who works fulltime with

  6. 1 month notice?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to lannisz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm pretty sure you have to give 30 days notice. I think the "at will" part only applies to the employer. If you only give 3 weeks notice, then they can say you violated the contract and not give...

  7. What should I do???

    ANPFNPGNP replied to alexyanet's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    trauma - I'm going to work in the ER and I was surprised to find that they won't hire a NP unless they have a minimum of 2 years of ER or urgent care experience as a midlevel. It doesn't matter how...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to mbtran321's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. How many of us have contracts for our jobs???

    ANPFNPGNP replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What gets me is that people don't stand up for themselves. The PA is the one who pointed out that our names were on the cleaning schedule and she agreed with me that it was ridiculous. She didn't...

  10. How many of us have contracts for our jobs???

    ANPFNPGNP replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was wrong to say anything about the nursing staff, because the people working there are NOT nurses, but medical assistants. So, basically the NP's/PA's are equated with the medical assistants, yet...

  11. How many of us have contracts for our jobs???

    ANPFNPGNP replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yep, can you believe it?? It looks like my credentialing will be finished this week for the ER job, so I'm going to put in my notice with the family practice group. I want to say something about the...

  12. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've precepted several NP students and all of them have RN experience. The ones who had the most difficulty were the RN's with extensive ICU experience. Primary care is an entirely different game...

  13. Would you report a physician who was involved in unethical/illegal activities?

    ANPFNPGNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've seen a lot of unethical doctors in my short career as a NP. I was wondering if anyone has ever reported a physician to the Board of Medicine? How about reporting them for insurance

  14. Would you report a physician who was involved in unethical/illegal activities?

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

    Report that doctor to the Board of Medicine

  15. How many of us have contracts for our jobs???

    ANPFNPGNP replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've had contracts with 2 employers, but not with the Urgent Care job. I've always been an independent contractor, so my contracts were to the point...we'll pay you X amount per hour or per patient...

  16. The economy and NP jobs....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to RNBillie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The job in San Antonio will probably pay for your housing. I have a friend who works fast track PRN in SA and he LOVES

  17. The economy and NP jobs....

    ANPFNPGNP replied to RNBillie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A friend of mine in San Antonio told me about some positions with Locum Tenens. He's going to start seeing nursing home patients for them on a part-time basis. He told me they pay $90/hr...amazing....

  18. Certification Frustration

    ANPFNPGNP replied to worm9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A former professor told me that it took almost 10 months before she could take the FNP exam through the AANP. She was already an ANP through the ANCC, so she was still able to work. I can't remember...

  19. Certification Frustration

    ANPFNPGNP replied to worm9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    She needs to just take the ANCC test and forget about the AANP test. I've taken tests from both organizations and the ANCC was far more organized than the AANP. I would start calling the ANCC to...

  20. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Generally speaking, one would assume that an advanced practice nurse has several years of experience working as a nurse. On the other hand, in the REAL world, I don't see my nursing background as...

  21. To top it off - I didn't get paid!!!

    ANPFNPGNP replied to lannisz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've heard of lots of midlevels who've had their paychecks bounce. This is just amazing to me. One doc in town can't even order supplies for his UC clinic b/c he's so behind on his bills. Of...

    ANPFNPGNP replied to karibo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm certified as an ANP, GNP and FNP. I work in a large primary care practice and also in a minor emergency/urgent care facility. I absolutely love it b/c I get to see it all. I get paid $50 per hr...

  24. Family Practice Prior to NP

    ANPFNPGNP replied to revolution's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've never quite understood why people think that working in a hospital will benefit their primary care skills b/c it doesn't make sense. Hospital care and primary care are 2 different balls of wax....
