Hello all! Just looking for some advice in regards to DEA licensing. Graduated and passed my boards in December and in process of waiting for state NP license. Once I have all of that do you recommend applying for a DEA license before or after secu...

So I know there are many threads on this already, but I have a predicament. I was recently accepted into Villanova's AGNP program. When I first started my graduate applications I thought that was the program I wanted to be in. I currently work as an ...

So I posted in the salary and negotiation thread that I was just about to accept my first offer...well I just received another offer today! This new offer is from one of my clinical rotations and I honestly thought I was going to work there right af...

I agree with WKshadowRN, I hit the ground running and talked to as many people as possible, including cold calls by recruiters. There were some not so promising interviews but I felt like it was good experience/practice. I was lucky enough to have ...

Went with offer #1, amd couldn't be happier!

Currently awaiting for the whole credentialing process to be completed as well. They let me start working and I am basically just shadowing the MD. I'm really learning alot, but feel like I'm useless. They won't even give me computer access where ...

PA, an hour outside of Philly.

The hospital system that just hired me offered loan repayment but I was lucky enough to make it through grad school on tuition reimbursement and then landed a grad assistant position. I'm in the NE.

Just started my second week and I know I am really going to love what I do when I'm finally set free! In addition to the two SNF we started discussing the possibility of inpatient consults, but this wouldn't happen until I am firmly secure in my prim...

Hi Vulpes Vulpes, I am in the same exact boat as you! I will be starting my new position in a few weeks. They are letting me start before the credentialing process is completed so I will have like a 45 to 60 day orientation, which I am pretty stoke...

I would look into a BSN express program since you already have a bachelor's degree. Most run 15-18 months. Not sure what the price difference would be compares to an ADN, but would open your options up when pursuing your MSN. Good luck!

Update: Offer one came back with salary 100k and 15k retention bonus after 15 months.

I countered offer one so fingers crossed for good news! They don't offer any type of bonus incentives for NP's or PA's so the only thing they can offer is a bump in salary. I do feel this opportunity will be a better learning experience, 3 docs and...

You bring up a great point Jules A. I think I'm so excited to even be in a situation with two offers that I'm missing some of the negatives. I tried to negotiate with offer 1 and was shut down quickly so I think it would be pointless to say hey can ...

I am a new grad and am about to accept an offer. I will be working with a large healthcare system in their 2 post-acute rehab facilities. City/State: Suburbs of Phila., PA (Healthcare system) Years in current position: 0 Salary: 98k Benefits: 28 day...

Like 2 posts down from her original she did disclose her full salary.

I'm a new grad and recently had an interview with a smaller hospital. I would be responsible for the patients in their 2 SNF's. The interview went really well and I got positive feedback from the recruiter that they would be in touch within a week....

In my area anyway, they are admitting people to start in 2019. I'm sure it varies by region, my mistake.

My pharm class exams were all blue book...all essay, short answer, and drawing diagrams. It was a challenge but the teacher was amazing and I RETAINED the information!

I believe the accrediting body for CRNA's is going to require a DNP by 2021. My last semester in NP school I was at the open house and the director of graduate studies was speaking about it. I think its an extra 18 months of schooling and since mos...

I did clinical with Optum and a few of my classmates have taken a position with them. Did you ever end up working there?

I just applied for mine so I can let you know how long it takes for me.

I took it and passed on 12/23. I don't think it changes every year but there are different formats. I felt like I had a lot of GYN questions (teen, older adults, std's). I also feel like I had 5 vaccine questions. I didn't really do anything speci...

I have been applying everywhere and working with a couple recruiters. I also reached out to some preceptor and professors. I actually have a phone interview tomorrow, so fingers crossed! There are lots of positions posted for my area, just seems im...

I recently had a couple of interviews with them, but for long term care. I'm also located in the NE. Package seemed pretty nice for a new grad...104k base with potential for 10% bonus, 4 weeks PTO, 1 week CME and 2500. Was told I was a strong cand...
