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

    emtneel replied to yellow finch's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What about a clinic associated with a hosp. system? I may be interviewing for a clinic which is a affiliated with a large system, although the clinic is located in another town and I doubt i would...

  8. questions to ask interviewers -1st np job interview

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

    Who normally doesn't have a contract? I kind of assume that private practice would have a contract, but hospitals or larger groups may not? Anybody know this? What are benefits of having a contract...

  9. Too soon to get excited about potential jobs?

    emtneel replied to yellow finch's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What is credentialling exactly? Is this always necessary? Is it just for hospital? I am not really familiar with what this means? Thanks

  10. Negotiating?

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

    I don't know where the one is of the ad i posted 80-95k. But I did have a phone interview for a internal medicine position in Waxahachie, he did not talk about benefits but said they are hurting...

  11. Negotiating?

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

    So I talked to the medical director of this community clinic. I guess a 2nd phone interview. She is concerned that I am a new graduate. I told her bluntly if she thought it would be to overwelming...

  12. Negotiating?

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

    I would like something like this (below) I don't know what i'm going to do. I don't want to pass up a good opportunity and might just need to get my foot in the door somewhere and get a good year's...

  13. Negotiating?

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

    Thanks DAvid, I understand what you are saying. I kind of figured I would have to stay extra to complete paperwork, etc at least for 1st year til i get more efficient. I really don't want to work...

  14. Negotiating?

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

    David, what do you mean by this? with the flexible schedule, my understanding how he explained is you would work 30min of your lunch and only take 30 for lunch. They have 1 MD and 1 PA at the clinic...

  15. Best path to NP...MSN or DNP?

    emtneel replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ONe of the many reasons i as well chose FNP. I also did an accelerated program. Also to consider I think the DNP is geared towards those who want to teach, at least the classes for it that are...

  16. Choosing a NP focus: FNP, ANP, ACNP

    emtneel replied to Iconoclast's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Depending on your program you may not have to do much peds clinicals. But you do have to know the stuff for the cert.exam. My clinicals for example, i had several speciality clinics with no peds, as...

  17. Best path to NP...MSN or DNP?

    emtneel replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i dunno. I think you are going to feel scared and unsure no matter how many hours you do. And with most MS programs you can do more hours if you want, you just have to pay for them. Also most Docs...

  18. Choosing a NP focus: FNP, ANP, ACNP

    emtneel replied to Iconoclast's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i choose FNP to have the broadest scope. I am the opposite of you and didn't really want to work with adults, but the area I am in is saturated with PNPs and I just wanted to be more marketable. I...

    emtneel replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  20. Best path to NP...MSN or DNP?

    emtneel replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    well if you do a program that requires 1200 hours plan on NOT working. I don't see how you can do that and work. I did my MS-FNP program in 2.5 years or 7 semesters. We weren't allowed to start...

  21. Negotiating?

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

    Or if there was a way to even negotiate a monday or friday off say maybe 2 times/month. If I used my 2 weeks vaca to do that, i could never really have a vaca. He said there are 2 "free" days (in...

    emtneel replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Daisy, I'm sooo sorry you are going through that crap. But try not to let her intimidate you or turn you into a bad NP with bad practices. (bad charting, etc..) I would just say "I am protecting my...
