  1. ENT JOB

    Sheri FNP-C replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know much about Maryland or ENT, but as a new grad I was offered a f/t position in OB/GYN that also required call (phone only) and payed $62k although I would have been doing procedures that...

  2. Do most NPs start working after licensure?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to msmith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I graduated in May. I had a total of 4 job offers, 2 came before graduation and 2 immediately after. I got the AANP authorization to test at the end of June and took the exam early in July. I got...

  3. Recommendations for I-Touch Applications for Pediatric FNP Clinincs?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to ER2Ed's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have tons of software on my PDA. In school I used 5 minute pediatrics and the free epocretes quite a bit along with the free CDC immunization schedule download. Now that I am practicing, I have...

  4. How do you stay organized?

    Sheri FNP-C posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a new NP that just started working. We don't wear lab coats at my practice so I have zero pockets. At a minimum I need to take a pen, pda, prescription pad in every room along with the...

  5. Don't Hate Me, All....

    Sheri FNP-C replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You seem to have missed the part about good providers and bad providers. Handing a patient a script is they walk out the door is bad, regardless of your credentials. I will reiterate that in my...

  6. Don't Hate Me, All....

    Sheri FNP-C replied to TakeBack's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know if it is the previous nursing experience or my relative lack of NP experience, but I do think there is a difference. There are good MDs, PAs, and NPs just like there are bad MDs, PAs,...

  7. How do you stay organized?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lab coats aren't "allowed" since they supposedly intimidate kids and I work in primary care peds. No scrubs either. It is a business/casual dress code (dockers and button down shirts for example)....

  8. MSN/FNP...stick it out...or go with what i've got?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to a.malone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was in a very similar situation. I have 4 children and little family (only my in-laws who are not helpful at all) in the area. I worked every other weekend as an RN and really, really wanted to go...

  9. ANCC exam

    Sheri FNP-C replied to Violet29's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  10. NP salary negotiations

    Sheri FNP-C replied to BrandiannRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah!!! I was hoping you would keep us updated! Let us know about the salary, benefits, how you feel about moving, etc.....we want the

  11. Professional Advice Needed

    Sheri FNP-C replied to lsutigerrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    First of all, one of my friends blurted out a way to low salary during an interview. Upon receiving an offer for the amount she asked for, she drafted a nice letter stating that she hadn't really...

  12. thoughts/advice welcomed........

    Sheri FNP-C replied to carluvscats's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am sure my opinion will spark some controversy, but here it is anyway. I truly see no benefit of working in Med-Surg prior to becoming an FNP. Other than the obvious differences, Inpatient vs....

  13. Am I being too sensitive?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    You are completely entitled to your feelings, however I only see a valve (like you use to deflate a beach ball) with healthy messages aimed at helping these chubby tummies and double chins

  14. NP salary negotiations

    Sheri FNP-C replied to BrandiannRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BCgradnurse, I only found salaried positions. I am currently salaried (as an RN in administration) and know how many unpaid hours a week I work, so I would have loved an hourly NP position. Oh well,...

  15. Its finally over

    Sheri FNP-C replied to Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    :yeah: I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!

  16. I need help deciding between midwife or FNP!!

    Sheri FNP-C replied to caitiecait's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You are absolutely correct. I was more referring to the more frequent visits in pregnancy versus the annual GYN appointment. When I was an OB/GYN RN I know how much we all bonded with the OB...

  17. OMG...AANP Certification Sample Questions are horrible

    Sheri FNP-C replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Gilletteship, Once you get the authorization to test, you can go on to the prometric website and schedule the date that works for you. I full-time studied for only about 2 weeks and passed as a new...

    Sheri FNP-C replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congratulations...NurseTim,

  21. NP salary negotiations

    Sheri FNP-C replied to BrandiannRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NurseTim.... That offer sounds insulting!!! My only word of advice (though I am far from an expert) would be to make a counter-offer that you would be happy with and think they might actually take....

  22. Materials list for FNP, yet?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to SpudID's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would recommend you purchase a really good stethoscope. I love the Litmann cardiology version. Also invest in a couple comfortable and professional looking lab coats. My school did require and...

  23. Advice on how to locate preceptors for NP clinics

    Sheri FNP-C replied to rnattorney's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I used 2 methods to find my preceptors. I utilized my co-workers (and physicians I see at work). If you spread the word that you need a preceptor I bet people you work with will have some ideas for...

  24. Anp Program Online??

    Sheri FNP-C replied to SthRNBelle's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Stony Brook University in NY has a distance Adult NP program. For the FNP we had to go for 3 days initially to learn the computer program we would use and that was the only mandatory on-site time. I...

  25. NP age??

    Sheri FNP-C replied to kayakin08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Age 34, just graduated with FNP. Accepted part-time (32 hours as that was what I was looking for) in primary care peds. Also offered part-time in OB-GYN and Internal Med. Don't worry (as I...
