Anyone know if you are able to telecommute in Healthcare IT?

Hello, Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice! Im a TX NP who for the last 2 yrs has worked in the Retail Health Setting (i.e. Minute Clinic etc). I feel as though Ive sort of pigeonholed myself by working in such a setting as now I find my...

Ok, although I am searching for NP jobs. Im sure the instructions are the same right?

Im in Texas

Ok, thanks alot for your input!

Wow, thanks for your insight! Did you receive the 20,000-25000 dollar nursing bonus? Did they pay off all of your student loans? Also, what did you end up getting into afterwards, if you don't mind me asking?

Cool, thanks for that reply. That is an awesome benefits package but it seems close to impossible to get a position in the VA system????

Hey pinkbubbles, my store closed in May as well, wasnt making enough money. Ive been working per diem ever since. Yet another reason why I wouldnt recommend these clinics as they tend to have a high rate of turnover and clinic closures!

Dancingnurse-I would really advise against it. I would focus my efforts on finding a supportive primary care practice. Be sure it is one that is open to new grads so that you will have the mentorship and guidance you need.

Awesome, thanks for the reply!

Hello. I have a question for al dente or any others who are in private practice. First, congratulations on all of your professional and academic success!! I am an aspiring PMHNP and Im wondering how your practice differs from a private PMHNP practice...

Hello all Ive been looking at various DNP programs and it appears that if you are already FNP certified then you can take additional coursework in whatever specialty you are interested in and sit for national certification afterwords in the combined ...

Hello All, Good luck with your application lildrekie! I am also interested in this program. I applied and was accepted for the fall of 2010 but couldnt enroll due to the type of job I had at the time (I wouldn't have the days off I needed for clinica...

Thanks for the insight Carla!!!

Wow thats great, congrats on passing your exam. I wish you much success. Hey, what program did you complete for Adult psych. I dont think I would be interested in seeing kids less than 13 y.o. but it seems like most programs are family oriented. Do y...

Hello Carla I am an FNP looking to apply to a PMHNP program. Just wanted to ask you a few questions if you don't mind: How long have you been a PMHNP? What ages do you see and what conditions do you commonly treat? Do you do therapy? Have you started...
