  1. NPs help me please!!

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

    Once again, that NP should be pulling in over 100k annually for that job. You can bet they would pay a doctor more than twice that for the exact same

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

    ANPFNPGNP replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You only got a ONE dollar an hour raise for working as a NP in the hospital? UNBELIEVABLE! Where I live, ACNP's are making in the low 6 figures for hospitalist

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

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

    Where I live, the RN's are making anywhere from $25 to $30 an hour. I think I remember hearing about a couple of ICU & ER nurses making around $35 per hour but that was with lots of experience....

  4. Question about working as IC in nursing home

    ANPFNPGNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a PA friend who is seeing nursing home patients for a group of doctors. They are giving her 50% of what she bills and she's averaging over $100/hr! She works a minimum of 30 hrs per week, so...

  5. Is this standard treatment for a new NP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jrprthd96's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Surprisingly, graduate NP's in TX can get a "provisional" license and they can see patients for up to ONE YEAR before taking their

  6. NP by state or USA?

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

    You're absolutely right. It's the certification that's national, but not the license. It's also important to point out that not every state accepts some of those "specialty" certifications. It's...

  7. NP by state or USA?

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

    Texas is a Compact State in regards to RN's, but not

  8. any PNPs out there??

    ANPFNPGNP replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My first job was with a pain management doctor. I made a TON of money - $20/pt just for refilling their narcotics (sometimes saw 50 pts per day). Basically, I was a drug dealer with a pen. After a...

  9. BSN vs. ADN

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

    50K for a Bachelor's degree? Must be from some fancy Ivy League school! That's just plain ridiculous. The hospitals around here are paying about $1/hr more for the BSN, however they PREFER BSN's and...

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

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

  11. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner

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

    First off, if you're planning on attending Vanderbilt, you will be expected to travel there several times during the year and you will have to stay for a full week at a time. So, don't consider it...

  12. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Complete independent practice means: No MD oversight, however we are supposed to refer when needed. That's just common sense. It also means total prescriptive authority - the DEA license will be...

  13. Family NPs - Tell what you do

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

    I work for a large primary care practice. We mainly see adult/elderly patients. I've never seen any children at that practice, other than the occasional sports physical for teens. I also work at an...

  14. NP by state or USA?

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

    From what I understand, the government only recognizes FNP's & PNP's. I went through a FNP program with an Adult NP and she was doing this only b/c she's in the military and they don't recognize...

  15. NP Education and Practice

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

    I would like to know what you think about FNP programs only requiring 500 clinical hours...some require more, but I have yet to see one that requires more than 800. Do you feel that is adequate...

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

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

    But, that's just it...THEY PREFER BSN'S OR MSN'S! Can you honestly say if you took 2 nurses with the same level of experience and one has a BSN and the other has an ADN, it won't make a difference?...

  17. NP by state or USA?

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

    You will be certified in one state only. I know that some states are "compact states" and the RN license is easily transferable, however this is not the case with the NP

  18. any PNPs out there??

    ANPFNPGNP replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, the one who's making all the dough is the DOCTOR - as usual! One of the docs I work for found out that another doctor was paying his NP a percentage of what she brought in. He was outraged and...

  19. Is this standard treatment for a new NP?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to jrprthd96's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    First off, I think you've landed a great job with great pay! Considering you're only seeing 3-6 pts per day, I don't think you should mind doing all your own "nursing" stuff. I've worked at several...

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

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

    Check out this link to MD Anderson...these are current jobs that are available for RN's. Make sure you scroll down to the "Educational Requirement"...they want either a BSN or a MSN...here's the...

  21. any PNPs out there??

    ANPFNPGNP replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    These are kids, so there are pretty simple, but you can still miss something. 100 pts in 12 hours is absolutely outrageous, even for "simple" complaints. One day I saw 70 pts in 9 hours at the UC...

  22. NP Education and Practice

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

    I want you to know that I absolutely agree with you on this. I went through a dual ANP/GNP program and spent 800 clinical hours training with internists. After that training, I felt that I could...

  23. Someone Please Tell Me...

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

    It seems that the concept of midlevels is just catching on in certain parts of the country. There are quite a few midlevels where I live, but a NP friend of mine told me that it was impossible to...

  24. I'm really confused about becoming an NP...please advise

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

    Yes, you would have to become certified as an Adult NP (primary care) and a Psych/Mental Health NP. The ANCC offers both of these certification exams. There may be dual programs out there that train...

  25. Getting in a top NP program

    ANPFNPGNP replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They usually want a minimum of a 3.5 GPA. Of course, they will be looking at your scores on the GRE/GMAT as well. Most of the programs require at least 1 year of RN experience, but most students have...
