  1. Suggestions on possible NP job offer

    harmonizer replied to earthsalt's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is very shady. If he want to pay you per patient, please negotiate for split of percentage eg. 60/40, 70/30 of reimbursement. That's way you're less likely to be taken advantaged of. $10 per...

  2. FNP - How to make enough $$$ to pay the bills?

    harmonizer replied to kjinman100's topic in Advanced Practice

    Texas has 0% state income tax, so it is very possible. If you are a "sole" income provider, "you" come first and should be able to choose where you go. I would relocate to the highest pay area for...

  3. PMHNP Los Angeles

    harmonizer replied to pmhnpUpenn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You need to relocate to find jobs. It's harder to find a good paying job now. There are jobs but the pay sucks. There are more of us out there now. The more rural the area is, the better the pay and...

  4. Is a FNP working for a Psychiatrist legal ??

    harmonizer replied to lmonet82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BostonFNP is correct! It depends on definition from BON AND any authorizing medical board. I will not comment on whether it is ethical. It is legal in some states but not legal in others, depending on...

  5. NP Salary

    harmonizer replied to Surface's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Partly correct. The schooling, "knowledge", and potential for superior outcomes have nothing to do with the compensation. In Business-stand-point, it is purely based on supply-and-demand and what...

  6. Questions about being a NP

    harmonizer replied to djk883's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For most patients, yes. For many docs, no. No. It is the best thing I could do consider my old age > 30. If you are less than 30, reconsider MD or PhD. Yes. But you will not have time to do a...

  7. PMHNP reimbursement for psychotherapy

    harmonizer replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes! It is state and insurance provider specific.. for WI medicaid program, you can.. I found something on the internet... https://www.forwardhealth.wi.gov/kw/pdf/2013-13.pdf But please remember...

  8. Has anybody done Telepsych?

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

    TheOldGuy, I don't want to get into a philosophical discussion either.. it's just matter of time that once there is more providers, the service will goes away.. it's harder to find a telepsych job now...

  9. Psych NP burnout

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

    So basically, it all depends on the jobs but most psych NPs are not as lucky as zenman. Many community mental health clinics are

  10. Has anybody done Telepsych?

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

    Same billing code as face-to-face. but please pay attention to laws and regulations for each states. It is not any better than face-to-face. The only thing is that you will sit in front of a screen...

  11. Psych NP burnout

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

    I am burnt out too! I can relate to everything you say. I think all prospective psych NP student should read your post before getting in the field. It is very draining. I just hope one day I can...

  12. Pts want to see a doctor

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

    I will just let them see MD without trying to persuade or misrepresent anything. It is their choice. It happened to me several times before and I was tempted to use ambiguous term to represent myself...

  13. Psych NPs

    harmonizer replied to HakunaMatata<3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am psych NP. I would like you to explore other specialties of FNP route or CRNA route as well. Actually, the "sky" is very limited to psych-related positions, which is only small subset of all NP...

  14. P/MHNP

    harmonizer replied to avahnel's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just PM them. Do a search. I do not agree with starting a specific section for this. It is unfair for other

  15. PMHNP Practice Questions

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

    Remember the concepts. The question is not the same but there are concepts that come from practice questions. Do not remember questions and correct answers. They won't be the same. Read the rationales...

  16. Will there be too many NPs?

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

    This favorite topic appears again :) My thought is 'yes', unless the push for DNP is realized. However, this will not avoid and only delay the inevitable. Although it is true that there is...

  17. Family NP vs Psychiatric NP..whose more favorable / marketable

    harmonizer replied to TipSimmons's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's completely fine (1 in 5 ratio) because that's still even more than the ratio between FNP and PMHNP job availability is.... I know schools that produced quadruple that in recent years and near...

  18. Family NP vs Psychiatric NP..whose more favorable / marketable

    harmonizer replied to TipSimmons's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yep but the job is not stress-free at all. Dramas, non-compliance, lack of personal insight to mental health, stigma, family issues, threats are rampant in this field and please consider that you have...

  19. Family NP vs Psychiatric NP..whose more favorable / marketable

    harmonizer replied to TipSimmons's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you what you like to do regardless of marketability. No one has crystal ball to see the longevity. Things can change. There are many people who do PMHNPs in the recent years and I will bet that...

  20. Family NP vs Psychiatric NP..whose more favorable / marketable

    harmonizer replied to TipSimmons's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In my state, FNP is more marketable and flexible. Marketability of each specialty depends on location. In fact, FNP or ANP can even replace PMHNP in my state. There is no specialty restriction here....

  21. PMHNP exam

    harmonizer replied to Lc11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    IMO, the test is super easy and does not test the essential knowledge. Almost everyone passed the first time. The person I know that failed the first time passed the 2nd time. You will pass if you...

  22. DEA Registration Multiple States

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

    resilientnurse. Yes, you just apply to DEA again in another state just like submitting a new application. Another $731! It will be a different number. I have two DEA numbers in two different states....

  23. FNP Programs in AZ

    harmonizer replied to cscanlon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Arizona State University- best reputation in AZ. It is DNP though but it has the best reputation in

  24. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    harmonizer replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think you take it too seriously. You may not like his sarcastic comments but there are some truth to it. Ok..comparing the rigor and the natures of of NP program with MBA is like comparing apple and...

  25. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    harmonizer replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thank you for speaking the truth! You may be against DNP but requiring DNP now would be the "temporary" solution! That will raise the bar and make people think twice before investing in
