  1. Working as an rn in puerto rico

    phosphorus posted a topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I read some of the other threads about pr, and had some questions. I briefly met an rn in passing who was working at presby in san juan.she spoke zero spanish. My impression was that to work in pr you...

  2. Thinking of leaving being an NP: job market vs. quality of life questions

    phosphorus posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a new NP, graduated 1.5yrs ago and have been working in hospice for 6 months. I was applying for positions a few months before graduating and ever since, including across the country when I worked...

  3. Sacramento Nurse Practitioner working conditions

    phosphorus posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm an NP in an FQHC. I had pegged some hopes on NHSC funding, but essentially all the area FQHCs have pretty low score and that seems like a long shot now. As far as I can tell for primary care many...

  4. NNAS experience?

    phosphorus replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    That's what I figured. I did an accelerated BSN and despite their reassurances I worried without my prior BA they'd reject it. The hardest part is reaching the boards of nursing so far just to see how...

  5. Sacramento Nurse Practitioner working conditions

    phosphorus replied to phosphorus's topic in Advanced Practice

    Kaiser treats you pretty well and pays excellent however they restrict NP practice in draconian and bizarre ways essentially because they are controlled by MDs and management trying to find ways...

  6. NNAS experience?

    phosphorus replied to jmariel's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi all, I'm and Adult NP practicing RN since 2009, ARNP since 2014. I'm applying through NNAS to get licensed in Alberta ive been combing these threads looking for the advice on how to speed things...

  7. Problems with CA Board of Nursing wait times in endorsement applications

    phosphorus posted a topic in California Nursing

    I applied for my CA license by endorsement from FL in January. I got my RN as expected ~3mo later without incident. The NP license was a nightmare with them allegedly losing the check, then saying...

  8. Travel NP to Australia and South Africa

    phosphorus posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Curious for information on travel contracts (or individually arranged) to Australia and South Africa, ideally around Brisbane or Durban. Any experience with any particular agencies? The Australian np...

  9. Anyone works at an Internal Medicine clinic?

    phosphorus replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Expect to be slow when you're new. You'll get progressively better at your job and time per visit (if it's well organized) though I'd give it 1-2 yr. After a few months you'll get a groove. Utilize...

  10. NHSC loan repayment program with HPSA 12 at FQHC

    phosphorus posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm looking for some advice. I recently started working at an FQHC who lured me and a number of practitioners with the promise of NHSC loan repayment. At the time I was a bit mixed up as California...

  11. Graduated 7 months ago FL- still no job!

    phosphorus replied to Agriffin2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I left Florida for similar reasons, but it's worth noting anyone in major urban areas in general tend to spent 6mo-1.5yr unemployed out of school. It took me 9 months to find a job in Miami, which...

  12. Salary!?

    phosphorus replied to roman1006's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Out of school in Miami most made 75-85k, which is what I made. I moved to California and make 115k. Likely with a little more experience I'll make more, but having state income tax cuts off ~12k of...

  13. NHSC loan repayment program with HPSA 12 at FQHC

    phosphorus replied to phosphorus's topic in Advanced Practice

    I had a similar experience with nurse corps but applying via a major urban hospital system as an RN. In general I believe it takes 7-10 months (took 10 months for me previously to receive a...

  14. Call pay

    phosphorus replied to marinp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I got an offer where they specify 5 days a month on call at 5$/hr and 60$/hr if I have to go in (wage around 50$/hr normally). Any tips for negotiating around that? Does that generally include when...

  15. Locum positions for new grads

    phosphorus posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I've been working a year in the only place I could find: hospice/palliative admissions evaluations. The local job market is very rough. I've been talking to recruiters when things have been bad and...

  16. Florida Collaborative agreement if not treating

    phosphorus replied to phosphorus's topic in Advanced Practice

    Got confirmation from the board, you always need a collaborating physician. This leads me to suspect that there are agencies and NPs out there doing this type of work without following state...

  17. Florida Collaborative agreement if not treating

    phosphorus posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    As I understand it, NPs must work under a collaborative agreement with a physician. I was contacted by an agency that does compensation type evaluations. They said that NPs don't generally need...

  18. NP in Nursing Home/SNF

    phosphorus replied to anh06005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can you elaborate more on that? I know what you mean, I've worked in those environments but would we not be at least culpable from a health perspective or are you talking smaller things like living...

  19. Are APRNs considered Self-Employed?

    phosphorus replied to Soliloquy's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would imagine most are not. The only ones I've met are people working through agencies locum. Either way I'd guess the overwhelming majority are employees of some company that dictates a lot of your...

  20. Job market for new grads

    phosphorus posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm in an ANP program in Miami, and have been hearing from new grads that jobs are not forthcoming. Most I know had to work in the hospitals with MD even when they wanted primary care jobs. Others...

  21. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2014!

    phosphorus replied to NY1984's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately I was not denied for switching jobs since they never got to the stage where that would have been an issue. Instead they simply said there wasn't enough funds to make my case a priority....

  22. Residencies or extended programs in latin america?

    phosphorus posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would like to study in Brasil, Argentina, Colombia, or possibly another Latin American nation for an extended period (at least 3 months, but hopefully 6mo-1yr). I am a ANP already, but could do a...

  23. Residencies or extended programs in latin america?

    phosphorus replied to phosphorus's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There's not NPs (outside federal facilities in PR), but there are short term programs run out of nursing schools of liken 2wks-1 month. I was looking for longer

  24. Thinking of leaving being an NP: job market vs. quality of life questions

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

    Interesting about not hiring NPs. I talked to other agencies and they will. Locum stuff would be ideal actually and I'm open. Many (most?) agencies require 2 years in your role to even place you. I've...

  25. Thinking of leaving being an NP: job market vs. quality of life questions

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

    Distinguished Nurse, there's a number of reasons why that's tough. Most states don't allow independent practice so you'd have to have a collaborative agreement. I've met Nps in Florida that have done...
