1. Revenue streams? Psych np?

   ncaru01 replied to ncaru01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I think you're reading to much into the vocab. It just means income. Money for service. It's not passive income. There are disadvantages and advantages. You have a minor issue and cant see a...

   My friend that does it says it is way harder than hospital work though. I don't know if its worth getting thr psych degree. I think it takes a year roughly

4. Shockingly low NP pay !

   ncaru01 replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   There are plenty of places rns make 22 an hr as well. California taxes are super high so is cost of living. Youd be better off making 85k in ohio than 120k in the bay area. I have heard in...

5. Shockingly low NP pay !

   ncaru01 replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Guess I had a job and they went up $20 an hour like it was nothing when I said I won't work for what they offered I probably could have went up higher. The director at the last site I was working at...

6. Shockingly low NP pay !

   ncaru01 replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   There's definitely a myth that RN make more than NPs. I make 4 times as much as I did as an RN base rate maybe 2.5 if you factor in weekend differentials and what not. NPs have a lot more...

7. New Grad NP

   ncaru01 replied to keeslove3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Personally I think you're going to find your first job very stressful. I wouldn't want to take on two at the same time. I looked at my first job as something I absolutely hated but it was a great...

   I was curious to get someone's take. I'm an emergency nurse practitioner which I don't particularly love the job. I have done a few months of primary care which was more something I felt like I was...

9. NP Work life balance

   ncaru01 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I am leaving my first job in about a month that I hated in an ER that I was in for about a year. I picked up a locum contract for part of April. I am considering moving. The problem with my last...

10. Is the Grass Really Greener on the CNP side?

    ncaru01 replied to sunnyskies9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am going to disagree with some of these responses. I wouldn't say purely do it for the money, but I find NPs have a larger diversity of platforms to work in. One of the most appealing choices if...

11. Salary and Locum

    ncaru01 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am graduating as an FNP in Pittsburgh in a few months. I have heard of people getting starting jobs around 60 an hour in Ohio. I have also heard of some very impressive Locum rates as high as 170...

12. Do you believe the pain is all in your head?

    ncaru01 replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    I think it sure can be. I work in an ER and the majority of patients with fibromyalgia have a psych history and I find it interesting some psych/anxiety drugs treat it. I think perception and...

13. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    ncaru01 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I dislike nursing more after years than I did initially, the first few months were hard. At some point I stopped giving patients the benefit of the doubt and realized how many people take advantage...

14. First Code/Death

    ncaru01 replied to chiromed0's topic in General Nursing

    I am an ER nurse, have been for over 3 years. I still don't feel completely comfortable in a code. I feel a lot more comfortable than I did. I realize what things need to be done for the most part....

15. How to get into informatics?

    ncaru01 replied to ncaru01's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I am accepted to NP school and just the salaries for NP's aren't great I was thinking informatics from what I am reading would be lower stress regular hours and maybe even pay better. NP starts in...
