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 have to pass boards a second time in spanish via ...

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 at the VA. I live in South Florida which anecdota...

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 places pay around 115k with 2wks vacation, but a g...

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 they want it. I'm still nervous the schools and B...

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 around having to pay people for their work. NPs are bas...

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 along. How do folks recommend getting nursing board...

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 they disposed of all documents because it had been &g...

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 market looks pretty bad at present via indeed, but...

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 MAs and ancillary staff to the max. They often don't...

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 has a series of different programs, and I hoped the ...

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 ended up exploiting me and using me in largely a bure...

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 that out the door vs florida.

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 rejection). I'm not sure if nurse corps uses the same criter...

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 you are required to stay after or work additional da...

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 contemplating moving/travel though I'd like to avoid...

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 regulations...

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 agreements if you're not prescribing, but I should look ...

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 conditions?

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 working conditions. Many NPs are members of union...

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 have been unable to find work all together. Is this i...

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. Remember that part of the deal brokered for the fi...

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 post-grad for my Family, Emergency/Acute, or a DNP. ...

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 options.

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 been trying with a couple ones and no luck so far...

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 that and hire an MD to collaborate, but it's not t...
