4. Adult NP asked to cover call for Endocrinology

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

   Thanks for all the information. Our community based hospital medical staff is not receptive to hospitalists managing their pts- probably why the Endo gets bombarded with call- but I do believe he may...

9. NPs ever have to take call?

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

   I don't even know where to start with negotiations. I'm just concerned if we don't start setting a precedent- it will be expected as part of our duty. Sure , physicians don't get paid to take call,...

15. Anyone wait to get a NP job?

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

    I would look into your new states licensure--I think it is best to get the NP experience sooner than later. I remember when I was close to graduating, I wanted to stay in my current RN job--it was my...
