Hi Melanie, To answer your question, yes PP hires New Grads and honestly I think they prefer New Grads. PP was my first job as a New Grad and I had no women's health experience at all. I think I had 50 hrs of clinical rotation in women's health...

Did you take the PP offer? I worked at PP in CA as a new NP and stayed for 3 years. I can answer questions for you if you like. Let me know.

Hi, Has anyone gone through the process of APRN endorsement from CA to TX ? From the directions it says you have to hold a current TX RN license or privilege to practice in TX to meet the qualifications ( which yes I get this). But can I a...

Hi Kimmba, Yes, I did get both my RN and APRN endorsement from TX. It took a little over two months. I think I started in Sept 2021 like you, and then I got approved for the APRN license right before Thanksgiving at the end of November. I think ...

Hi, Did you go onto the AANPBC website? From what it says the 15 hrs of continuing education has to be on your areas of weakness that can be found on your score report. If you are a AANP member they have free CE on their website that you can do....

Hi, Currently, I'm a NP working at Planned Parenthood in San Diego with 3 years of experience under my belt with the company. I'm considering moving to Austin TX area. I know I would be taking pay cut moving out of CA but I wanted to ask if anyo...

Hi, I do not work in the hospital setting but as long as you are board certified I would not think it matters. Any job that you apply will say you will need to be board certified but either ANCC or AANP, it never specifies one over the other. Bu...

DO NOT APPLY for your DEA until you are hired by a employer! You will have to give the address of your employer on the DEA application. You cannot just put your home address, it has to be a business address. The $731 dollars in NONREFUNDABLE. I ...

Hello, I'm a NP in San Diego CA, with 2 years of experience. I'm looking at possibly relocating to Texas particularly the Austin area. I know my income would drop but I would like to know the average income for NPs in Texas. I realize there is n...

That makes sense, thank you!

Great, thank you for response!! Good to know Austin pays low! I’m also looking at areas north of Dallas and Houston so sounds like the pay is better. Texas seems to pay just a little less than CA.

Help, I need some advice!!! I'm a certified NP, I would consider myself a new graduate even though I became certified in 2017. I've still been at the bedside because I had a baby and wanted to stay 2 days a week at the hospital. Fast forward to now. ...

Congrats Medsurge!!! Part time 4 days a week with a set schedule sounds great! That is so much more doable with having a young child. You can always keep checking the other affiliate for positions to work closer to home. I do not have my own Malprac...

Hi Medsurge, Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!! Okay, so I'm going to give you my honest opinion on traveling 2-3 hours a day, its going to be very hard and draining on you. Its very difficult to juggle being a mom and working, add extra travel each ...

Hi Medsurge, So I would say every affiliate is different ! I live in San Diego and work for the pacific south west affiliate, and this affiliate is financially strong plus I’m sure the California wage is adjusted to the cost of living. As a new grad...

Hi Medsuge! Most positions are Flex Clinician positions( floater). You would have a home clinic and then be required to float 30 percent of the time. This has been the case for me. Floating is okay, just prepared to be working with different people, ...

Good Luck!!! Getting that first NP job is the hardest. Just be persistent, send out lots of resumes and talk to anyone who has connections to companies hiring NP!!!

My resume has MSN, APRN FNP-C after my name on the top of my resume. Yes!! Fax your resume and cover letter to the medical director!!! Let them know you really want to work at PP. I would be persistent!

Hi!! The first time I applied to PP I sent my resume/ application and got an email the exact same day asking for a phone interview. The second time I applied I didn’t hear anything at all and then 4 or 5 days after I applied I had my friend sent my r...

Hi Express099, I just read you other post and saw that you are in San Diego! Let me know If you would like to meet up and I could give you more info :-)

Hello, I just finished my 2 months of training and I’m now on my own! I really love it!!! I enjoy the population that comes in, the training was awesome and I got 25 days to work with a clinician trainer that gave me tons of support. I’m at the PP of...

Hi Express099, I was working as a RN for Scripps in San Diego. I did have a few NP interviews with Scripps with no luck, I also applied to the Scripps Health Express with no response. I was really bummed because I wanted to stay with Scripps. I got ...

Thank you!! I will keep you posted!

Hello!!! I would wait to pass your boards before applying. I don’t know what state you are in but in California where I’m at the state board processing time is probably at least 3-4 months, they are very slow!! I think they will take pending licenses...
