  1. NPs help me please!!

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

    I totally agree about the 10-12 hr days. I'm not a Mon-Fri 8-5 kind of person. This has been a problem with the primary care clinic where I work 4.5 days per week. We usually start at 8:30, then an...

  2. NPs help me please!!

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

    One of the docs in our clinic hired a PA to see his hospitalized/nursing home patients. He told me that his income doubled after hiring the PA. I guess he was able to see more patients at his clinic...

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

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

    This is totally regionally. The RN's in my town have a tough time finding a job, considering there are 2 RN programs (ADN & BSN) and they are dumping tons of graduates on the market. The...

  4. any PNPs out there??

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

    My friend won't live there, she'll only travel there (2 hrs away) for those 3 days per week. She's accustomed to seeing Spanish speaking, illegal immigrants, so none of that is new. I just can't...

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

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

    You're right, these are just the classes needed to APPLY for the bridge program (you still have to be a RN). The other classes that are required would cost more like $80,000, so it's not a deal at...

  6. NPs help me please!!

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

    I'm curious, what's the hourly wage? It makes me ill to think they are paying less than 120K per year for a job of that magnitude. Do you know how much revenue that job would generate? My goodness,...

  7. NP reference books

    ANPFNPGNP replied to summerscoopy26's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    For the FNP, I studied Fitzgerald's latest edition on the certification exam review. That's all I studied and I passed the test with no problems. When I remember, I use this as a reference as well....

  8. undergraduate experience?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to TC2009's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. any PNPs out there??

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

    Okay, I've got a question for you. I have a FNP friend with years of experience in pedes. She told me that she was going to start working with some doctor on the TX/MEX border and he's paying 120K...

  10. Does what school you go for your FNP matter?

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

    I went to school at Vanderbilt, but I had several years of experience as a RN before doing so. The Vanderbilt name has definitely helped me, but then again, I've got a lot of experience. I have to...

  11. NPs help me please!!

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

    Personally, I like diversity. I get bored very easily and I get to see everything in my jobs in urgent/primary care. I've worked in a "specialty" setting before and even though the money was...

  12. Long time experience RN w/new NP license ready for NP role-enough financial benefit

    ANPFNPGNP replied to hello101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    These online NP programs are going to be the death of our profession. They are admitting anyone and even worse, they are admitting anyone who isn't even a RN (or an experienced RN). To think that a...

  13. 2 PT NP jobs

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

    Whatever the RN's are making in your area, you should be getting a MINIMUM of $10 more per hour for either PT or

  14. Long time experience RN w/new NP license ready for NP role-enough financial benefit

    ANPFNPGNP replied to hello101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Under no circumstances should a NP make less than a

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

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

    Vanderbilt doesn't offer a BSN degree, only a MSN degree. They accept diploma nurses and ADN nurses into their MSN bridge program. However, you will be required to take those "bridge" classes at...

  16. Consider going for MD?

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

    Check out this link. It just popped up on Yahoo a few minutes ago. According to this latest study, less than 2% of doctors are going into primary care. There will be a BIG need for NP's in the very...

  17. 2 PT NP jobs

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

    I can't believe you accepted a pay cut like that! The FNP's who work in the ER where I live are making $65/hr, work 10 hr shifts and they only have to work 9 shifts per month in order to qualify for...

  18. Ok, so I'm soon an FNP... what about a DNP in acute care?

    ANPFNPGNP replied to yellow finch's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If you finished the DNP, would that qualify you to take the ACNP

  19. Where is the best state to move to in the SE?

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

    Is TN considered the Southeast?? I need to get my map out! I went to school there and I don't believe they are very restrictive. In fact, their NP's can even prescribe Schedule II's and you won't...

  20. RN Starting Pay

    ANPFNPGNP replied to SexyRN2Be's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Starting pay in my part of the country is $22/hr with differentials. The most I've seen around here for experienced RN's is $35/hr for ICU and ER. I live in South Texas. Oh yeah, BSN's get about .50...

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

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

    You will still have to take prerequisites on top of your ADN to get into grad school...did you think you could just schlep those

  22. NPs in California

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

    I talked to a NP professor and we discussed the fact that the TX BON is so strict about requiring NP's to practice within their certification, i.e. primary care, acute care, psych, etc. She told me...

  23. Consider going for MD?

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

    Very interesting. I wonder why New Mexico and Washington require more training for a MD than a DO? It seems like the rules are more lax regarding DO's as well...look how many states let them take...

  24. 2 PT NP jobs

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

    If you're going to work PRN, you need experience. I'm an independent contractor and I work 2 jobs, one in urgent care and one with some family practice doctors. I don't get any benefits and I have...

  25. Question about working as IC in nursing home

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

    Thanks for the information. Actually, I'm already an independent contractor and I'm only getting paid $50/hr, so $100/hr would be a huge
