Any FNPs practicing in NYC out there? Just wondering if you work at a hospital center or private office? How did you go about finding your job? Salary/years of experience? Do you live in the city? Hoping to relocate to NYC as soon as I am done FN...

Bump Anyone know the rules for NPs first assisting in NY state? Thanks

Any nps in a hospital setting have trouble with nursing administration ( non nps) trying to be the "boss" dispute having an immediate supervisor who is an MD?

I have read numerous posts regarding NPs/DNPs having "independent practice" and how detrimental this would be for the patient, patient outcomes, ect, because NPs/DNPs are not qualified to practice independently. I think the focus should be the scop...

Hello everyone. I have been searching for conferences/conventions/symposiums for practitioners in the Baltimore/DC area. In particular, I have heard in passing from some NP students that there are conferences that teach/practice suturing-- however...

I took AANP on the 19th and my cert number was on the website the next day. My packet I received in the mail with my letter and certificate was post-dated the 21st. Maybe I just got lucky?

I took the AANP because I heard it was more clinical based and less theory. I don't know if this is really true, but that, along with the lower cost made my decision for me. Like many have said, Fitzgerald review is the way to go, in my opinion. ...

Hi all, Has anyone received a relocation bonus or stipend for moving expenses or the like? If so, how much? If so, did you negotiate that into your contract? Are you in an office/clinic setting vs a medical center/hospital setting? Thanks!

Anyone have any info on relocation stipends for the NYC area?

what part of the country, if you don't mind me asking? and are you an NP or CRNA? Thanks for your response!

If you dont' mind me asking, what type of practice do you work in?

Thanks for the replies... It's good to know that it is a reasonable request to make.

Out of curiosity, which state is your minute clinic in?

NY lady, Thanks for sharing that info. I didn't realize that union hospitals still did pension plans. Is that for all new hire nurses too? Do NPs get represented by the unions? Do the unions represent other staff (ie rad techs, pharmacists, etc)?...

I've been reading a lot about "fluff" courses from FNP students... I am curious what schools these are (I'm not asking you all to list your schools, I am just wondering out loud). I am in my last semester of my Master's FNP program. I haven't had ...

ah ha... that makes sense. I think the hospitals I was looking at are Magnet. Something to consider. Thanks!!

I've seen a couple of job postings that say "ANCC preferred". I was leaning towards AANP, but now I'm reconsidering. Will be interested in seeing what others have to say about this.

Does anyone know what the hiring situation is for radiology techs at mt sinai, or other NYC hosptials? Thanks!

There is a difference between "medicine" and "healthcare". You are using the terms interchangeably and they are not interchangeable.

Thanks for the responses on the lab coats. The main reason I ask is that I will be needing to wear one this fall as an NP student. I wore my old nursing school long lab coat one day last semester, and I never did that again!!! The physicians didn't...

what length white coat do you all wear?

Great idea! did you already have an interview set up when you went with your portfolio? Did you submit an online application first, ect? or did you just go door to door looking for work? Thanks.

Hi all, Just looking for advice on when to start the application process for my first NP job. I would love to work in a community health clinic in an urban area. But any advice or experiences you all can share would be appreciated, regardless of y...

The state of Maryland is big on ACNPs. (in order to work on "monitored" patients, ie, in the ED or ICUs ect, you have to have ACNP.) So in that respect, you would have little competition with FNPs and ANPs for those kinds of jobs. I don't know how...

Sparkle... what area are you? Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Anyone have any info on NYC? Others have said it has taken them over a year to find a NP job in NYC, but I wonder if it takes that long for a dream job, or just a job to get some exper...
