  1. Benefits Package

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

    Thanks for all of your help. They ended up allowing me to use the 1 day/month of vacation as soon as it was accrued the first year so I wouldn't be completely without time off. I ended up accepting...

  2. Liability Ins.

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

    Thank you both. For my state it looks like Marsh is the best

  3. Certification tests AANP vs ANCC and CME

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

    Thanks NPGilly. I know of certified NPs working in Peds, OB/GYN, etc. I just didn't know what certifying body they are associated with. Since I have already paid for my AANP exam and am trying to...

  4. ANP v. GNP

    Sheri FNP-C replied to frankyfern22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    According to my Fitzgerald syllabus, ANPs can see patients age 13 and up. GNPs can only see patients age 55 and up (if ANCC certified) or 65 and up (if AANP certified). Even in long term care there...

  5. Certification tests AANP vs ANCC and CME

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

    NP Gilly's post has made me a bit nervous. Does anyone know how the AANP handles FNPs working out of the family medicine specialty. Ie...working in Peds or Internal Medicine. Does this count...

  6. Benefits Package

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

    I agree that it is a bad deal. I just wonder if it is worth it to get a couple years experience with a seemingly nice practice. If, after a couple years, the pay/benefits remain horrible then I can...

  7. Benefits Package

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

    They are very, very sweet people. It is a small private practice. Wife is MD, husband practice manager. They don't expect much, ie. goal is 11-16 patients a day (internal medicine) no new patients,...

  8. new APN

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

    I don't intend to sound negative here. I think it could be a great experience, however I would want more details. I was offered a similar deal, but upon further questioning they wanted me to work as...

  10. DNP at Chatham ?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to akoster's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't have any real information for you. It seems almost too good to be true. There is very little information regarding the "capstone experience." I also wonder if it is accredited. 27 credits...

  11. Learning H&P - Ugh!

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

    Just think care plans...they seemed impossible at the beginning of nursing school and now we can practically do them in our sleep. I think the H&P is similar. My first physical exam course it...

  12. Benefits Package

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

    Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, this is already an improvement from the first offer and I believe that it is no longer negotiable. So I am back in the same situation I have been in for a...

  13. Advice about NP specialties

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

    I was in the identical situation a few years ago. I was at the orientation for the midwifery program I had applied and been accepted to, when reality struck. For me, I had a family and a job so...

  14. S.O.S.......How did you find your first NP job?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to ANP4U2C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I mailed resumes to almost every ad in the paper unless I was 100% certain I would not be interested. I was surprised to find a couple positions that I thought would be dreadful actually sounded okay...

  15. Covenant not to compete

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

    Ok, I am new to the NP role. As an RN I had never even heard of a covenant not to compete. A potential employer is telling me that these documents are standard. Basically if you leave the practice...

  16. Talk to me about becoming a NP

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

    I don't think you need to be "doctor smart." I do think you need to be determined! I have never had a patient mind when I look up a drug dose or something like that. Know what you don't know and...

  17. Autism and the Nurse Practitioner

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

    SoundofMusic... I tried to send you a friend request but it wouldn't go through Whenever the vaccine/immunization debate comes up I always feel obligated to share my story. I do think there is a...

  18. Autism and the Nurse Practitioner

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

    Professionally, I don't know the answer to this. Other than autism was rarely diagnosed in years past. My husband is a contractor. He is building a house for a young man (mid-30s) that was...

  19. Autism and the Nurse Practitioner

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

    That sounds like an amazing idea!!!! Like the previous poster, my initial reaction was to suggest PNP, however I am having 2nd thoughts. One reason is that the rise in autism has resulted in many...

  20. Back to Family practice-need good resource

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

    Yeah!!!! Good for you! Have you thought about using Fitzgerald's or another reference that targets new grads studying for certification? I am a new grad and have found it to be very helpful. It...

  21. OB/GYN NP salary versus Primary Care

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

    All of the interviews I have been on so far have been internal med. NP positions with very low salary! Is that typically the same for OB/GYN NPs or since specialists typically get higher...

  22. OB/GYN NP salary versus Primary Care

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

    zahryia: It is a full-time position. The office closes at 4:30 so I am assuming they prefer you stay until then, though no one has said that. It is EMR so I want to ask about option to work from...

  23. OB/GYN NP salary versus Primary Care

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

    I may be off by a thousand or 2, it is getting harder to keep track of them all... Nursing home 57k 5days/wk Rural clinic 60k 5days/wk (ins. 10k/yr for family medical only) Hospitalist 56k 5days/wk...

  24. jobless new grad NP

    Sheri FNP-C replied to nurselele05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    jean36 have you ever seen an np? choosing a health care provider based solely upon the letters after their name is a mistake. typically nps take more time to listen and get to know their patients....

  25. Np specialty in women's health

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

    In NY where I live, you don't need to "specialize." There are many, many FNPs working in women's health. Mostly they worked in L&D, antepartum/postpartum, or an outpatient OB/GYN office as RNs...
