  5. 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...

  8. NPs ever have to take call?

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

    That is my point precisely. The other endos in clinic salary is significantly more than what I am making. I know the newest is at base of $160k + bonus. I'm at mid90s no bonus- now with a proposed 50%...

  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,...

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

  13. Consider going for MD?

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

  16. 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...

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

  21. Why become a NP

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

    I was really "bored" with my jobs in nursing. I needed more of a challenge. I thought changing hospitals, fields or transferring to outpatient would help, but it did not. I had been a nurse for 11...
