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

    The agency that hires you. AND I always ask for a copy because the next place you work for always wants ALL the malpractice insurances you have ever had. In addition I have my own, I feel its safer...

  3. FNP in Austin?

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

    I haven't lived in Austin, but i agree with txcardiorn. I did interview in Austin and turned down the job because they totally low balled me and were not willing to negotiate at all! $40/hr and NO...

  4. Do FNP's really make 80k to 90k a year?

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

    You can do travel nursing (called locum tenens) as a Nurse Practitioner as well. I went to school for FNP in CO and figured out afterwards that there are no jobs, or just PT or very low paying jobs...

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

    its a long list, I've met with many of these drug reps before. I'm not really sure what "not FDA" approved means though...I didn't know it meant illegal? I never knew these meds were not FDA...

  8. Job info for Miami and Houston

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

    looks like most likely we will choose houston, if everything works out. Not sure how you figure Miami "very affordable" though. All my research shows its in the top 10 most expensive places to live...

  9. Job info for Miami and Houston

    emtneel posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am potentially moving to Miami or Houston (depends on BF PhD acceptance) I've been doing locums for 2.5 years and lots of places are desperate for NPs/midlevels. I applied to ~40 jobs in Miami,...

  10. Can a NP make over $100k a year?

    emtneel replied to KT12's topic in Advanced Practice

    45k is low even for a RN... 18/hr is an insult, no nurse should work for that. That hospital/clinic is making a lot of

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

    emtneel replied to Joebird21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    emtneel replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am a FNP practicing for ~2.5yrs. I personally haven't met many NPs that are for the DNP. Perhaps its mainly BSN students that are being convinced to progress to this path instead of NP. I don't...

  15. NP autonomy in the ED setting

    emtneel replied to emsst10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How do you mean? I work in the ER and work basically independently seeing mostly lower acuity patients. If there are a lot of higher acuity patients sometimes I will see some of those as well and...

  16. Can I get opinions on this $$ hourly rate?

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

    I see many ads daily or sent to my email for Psych or mental health NPs, they are all over 100k/year with great vacation and benefits. So PT work should be an even higher pay rate without benefits. I...

    emtneel replied to beckyfnp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  20. shortest np program??

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

    I wouldn't try to find the shortest program and def not skip out on clinical hours. Compared to PAs and MDs we don't do that many clinical hours as it is. I signed up for extra hours to get more...
