  1. PMHNP programs in South Florida?

    harmonizer replied to shannarini71's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Florida is the state where there is no restriction for NPs to practice within their specialty. Although I think PMHNP may be preferred, FNP with psych exp can do the job. Additionally, salary is not...

  2. Psych NP or Adult/Geri NP?

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

    Who are "they"? The schools or employers? Yes, they will ask and look at it favorably. For most employers, it does not matter at this point because you will get training while being in school. How far...

  4. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    harmonizer replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To be fair, I would compare experienced RN with new grad NP. NP degree builds on experience as RN. Many nurses who went to NP schools are experienced RN who worked in the field at least a few years,...

  5. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    harmonizer replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not worth it financially in the Boston when you have a very high cost of living. I heard RN can make that much

  6. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    harmonizer replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's probably just the word-of-mouth or heresay. That's not the norm at all esp. the contract agency will take some percentage from your paycheck. Please do not mislead people to get into NP...

  7. What is the job market like for new NPs?

    harmonizer replied to tejon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NerdyNikki makes a good point. Job market may not be bad to the point that we can't find employment in some areas yet but it may be already bad enough to the point that employers are not willing give...

  8. What is the job market like for new NPs?

    harmonizer replied to tejon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Job market is just ok for now with upcoming oversupply. I graduated from the psych NP program in South East. I have trouble finding a good paying job for a few months. Therefore, I graduated in May...

  9. PMHNP

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

    I just hope there will be none. There is really no need to have any PMHNP programs in Florida or Georgia. Both states do not not require that NPs practice within a specialty and NPs are not...

  10. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    harmonizer replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, it is not worth it to become NP. I thought I am happy with my starting salary until I found out..... wherever we earn > 100K, physician counterpart are making twice (or almost) your wage doing...

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

    harmonizer replied to bumblebeegaga's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Please note that the laws about involuntary commitments & forced treatments differ from states to states, even among independent practice states. Zenman, I think you talked about emergency...

  14. Psych nurse practitioner

    harmonizer replied to bumblebeegaga's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you choose pysch NP route, then be ready to relocate few areas of the country where myelin and Ellen NP mentioned for the jobs and "fair" pay. And honestly, not all of those cities are desirable...

  15. Psych nurse practitioner

    harmonizer replied to bumblebeegaga's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not true. In general, there are obviously much more opening for FNPs than Psych NP. See indeed.com, you can search for tons of job for FNPs, but very few psych NP positions in most states. Only few...

  16. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    harmonizer replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Maybe but they don't pay well in VA. They pay less than private sector. They only pay well in some locations. Remember you are competing with lots of PAs. They will hire PAs to fill the slots in VA....

  17. when is it ok to bring up....

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

    Don't forget cost of living (>$2000/month rent) & 9.5% income tax. There is no income tax in WA. I would want to that much or more for high cost of

    Depending on what you enjoy doing most. Most jobs for PMHNP are for psych eval/diagnostic with medication management. You won't have much time to do psychotherapeutic intervention. If you prefer...

  22. I am not trying to repeat a topic. But your input is appreciated.

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

    Although I hope that 2015 goals become true, you should have no problem with MSN competing with DNP. The increasing number of enrollments in NP programs are more concerning than just DNP/MSN...

  23. Job offer

    harmonizer replied to Alan RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry, did not see about no insurance. I would negotiate for more PTO time. Any paid holidays time? Personally, if they do not want to modify PTO and insurance, I would negotiate for lower salary with...
