Do any of you work as independent contractors and have an LLC? I have worked mostly as a Independent Contractor for the past 3 years. My tax person has not said I have to have an LLC... I discussed with a recruiter a position and he said I would ha...

So I am curious to know if any American is doing this? Perhaps I will be the first. I have previous lived in Germany 3.5 years and speak fluent German. My boyfriend is German and lives in Stuttgart and we are trying to figure a way to be closer to...

I am a locums FNP working mainly ER/UC. Currently i'm in a family practice clinic but only for 1 month. They don't have a provider after me except for 1 day/week and they were lacking a provider for a few months before. It is a rural area with no ...

I am an independent contractor and have been for ~5 years now Sounds like they are trying to rip you off! you should make like $20/hr more as independent contractor... Just think of the vacation alone you won't get paid. As an independent contractor ...

And another thing.. we in the healthcare industry are one of the few who have people knocking on our door for our services, while other people are struggling every day and would LOVE to have any job, even if they are over qualified. Man it just ann...

I don't understand what you are complaining about? Sounds like you are on a high horse and consider yourself better then the recruiter.... I've talked to Delta lots of times and would not discount this company, and if you have never worked for them, ...

Since we are discussing. There is one drug I refuse to prescribe and thankfully have been able to mostly get around it. And that is the morning after pill. This is based on my own personal beliefs and I can't in good conscious prescribe it. I'm gl...

Why not HRT? (its not something I normally prescribe due to ER/UC work) but currently in Family practice. I recently prescribed it for a woman who had been on it before, and tapered off, and was complaining of multiple symptoms, hot flashes, insomni...

Yeah, true, every other person is bipolar or has anxiety! i wonder if insurances would cover "yoga" and relaxation seminars! I tend to be more conservative and holistic in my approach.. What a lot of people need probably is a vacation!:)

thanks, its good to hear other providers also use "I don't prescribe such and such" Like I said I work primarily UC/ED, so I don't prescribe a lot of chronic meds except for occ refills for people that can't get into their PCP. I also work in high ...

Also these clinics only treat very basic things. I called once to see if i could get some prednisone and inhaler for my asthma and they are not allowed to treat that. It is basically very low skill use. I think it is a waste of our skills as NPs ...

This seems like very good pay. I'm an independent contractor and when a few companies tried to hire me for this job i don't remember it being that good. As well as they expected you to print ~20pages per patient and fax them back every day, all at ...

woohoo!!!:yeah: I was literally shaking after i was done, because you find out there, i thought it would show up on the screen, it went blank, and i waited afraid to look at screen then another 20 questionnaire about ANCC and testing center, then bla...

well.. just med school ist 4 yrs. If you are a NP you might have some of the pre-reqs done but def. do not need more then 1-2 years to do them. You could do them at a community college etc while you work as a NP. So you really then have 4 years ...

YUp, Got the books to study for the MCAT which i plan to take early 2012 and Apply May 2012. I always wanted to be a Doc and thought I would be satisfied as a NP. I am very satisfied as a FNP if it doesn't work out. Reasons: More knowledge. Peopl...

"I will likely end up working in one of these clinics at some point, but will I compromise my clinical work ethic for the sake of a having a job?" I would recommend not working in a retail or UC clinic, if you want to practice evidence based medicine...

Yes, i think i may have posted another more recent post on my travels. I have been doing locums now for 3 years, and have worked in MA, CA, NM, CO, TX, and i have FL license but haven't worked there yet. Yes, the locums co pd for my DEA $550 so tha...

I don't know what to tell you other then what I already posted... It's been 3.5 years since I took the exam and truthfully I don't remember much how I studied other then what I already posted. I wouldn't worry so much, you can only do the best you c...

Thanks. I am definitely an independent contractor. I get paid through management companies who get paid by the clinic or hospital I work at. I don't get any benefits, ie I pay my own health insurance, etc.. What Tax benefit would an LLC bring tha...

Yes ~3 years experience as a FNP in all types of settings but mostly Urgent Care/ER, but I also have experience in College health, occ med, Pediatrics, camp medicine.

Not good!! I just went job hunting in March 2011 flew to Miami for job search/interviews. My BF got accepted to a PhD position in Miami. I applied to ~75 jobs all different sorts, every open position on indeed.com, I applied to ALL the hospitals in M...

Tell me about it... I think once you have worked with several companies and applied to various companies, and have established a good reputation they want you. I usually get a few calls a day from recruiters as well and plenty of emails. Hey one com...

You are human! And you will encounter mistakes that the docs make as well.... Everyone is human, everyone makes mistakes, even the Doctors (contrary to popular belief...)

Yes, and for volunteer work. I would think one would be covered volunteering under good Samaritan but you never know.

P.s. I also started as a new grad with only 3 months experience and went directly into a night urgent care clinic as a solo provider for a college. I was nervous but was probably one of the best jobs i ever had!!! Super fun and super great people t...
