  1. Travel NP starting hourly rates

    harmonizer replied to f14chris's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in a different specialty but that's too low. If they pay for miles and lodging, I would shoot for min of $75 (W-2), and $85/hr (1099). You are in a specialty area. It is negotiable. You can...

  2. Can an FNP get certification in Psych later?

    harmonizer replied to 3**835Y's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    harmonizer replied to hakunamatata's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I second " PMHNP-1, MSN, NP." Unless you find a few good jobs out there that allow you to spend quality time with patient, you will be stuck with quick in/out Rx model. Sorry but this is the reality....

    harmonizer replied to cd365c's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
