    Anyone Here Work Nursing Homes?

    guest416560 replied to jennybean0305's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When I did this type of job years ago I would split the Medicare reimbursement with the doc 51/49 with me getting the 51%. Regular non acute SNF patient visits via Medicare paid around $60 for the...

    Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    guest416560 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I feel with this thread I"m speaking to a brick wall that won't listen to the truth. That is ok, you can be a sheep and get slaughtered while following the herd. I won't be. I'm very happy. I have a...

    guest416560 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Offended? I would say that I'm sorry if I offended you but I'm not. Truth is it is a ****** town. The providers I work with and the staff who work at the clinic were the first to ask me "why did I...

    Can I work with specialist as FNP or should I pursue AGNP

    guest416560 replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you want to work in ortho I'd recommend going the PA route. You can work in ortho as a FNP or AGNP but it's doubtful you would get any training experience while in school. You would have to find...

    Today I was introduced to my new replacement at my FQHC. I work as a locums and get used to holding a place until they can find a fresh faced new grad to take my place. It's part of the job. They...

    guest416560 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I got this email today from admin. I work in California but I'm wondering if this is going to be a policy nation wide. I also work in Oregon without a supervising MD so obviously it wont' be an issue...

    Aesthetic/cosmetic NPs in SoCal?

    guest416560 replied to palmski's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have my FNP and did cosmetics for awhile. The most successful providers of Botox and fillers I've found in So Cal are not NPs but RNs. I don't think it's necessary to get your NP to be successful...

    NP Jobs still looking pretty good.

    guest416560 replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I regret it. I left a career in the corporate pharmaceutical industry. At one point I enjoyed being a NP. With the constant influx of new grads pushing salaries down I"m just not into it anymore....

    Nurse salaries are stagnant or decreasing, we already knew NPs were taking a decrease

    guest416560 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Demand will still be there....there will just be too many of us willing to do the job so it starts eroding wages. I've already seen it happen personally to me and a dozen other NPs I work with in...

    guest416560 replied to DavidRNNV's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Mobile Pain Doctors Found Guilty of Running Pill Mill I would never, ever work for a pain medicine practice. The above story scared me and should scare you to find alternate employment. YES there are...

    Shockingly low NP pay !

    guest416560 replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your experience will grow more common as more and more NPs are pumped out of the ever growing list of NP schools. As an experienced NP with over a decade of experience I can tell you wages are...

    guest416560 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I didn't tell the administration anything when they told me take a salary cut to keep your job or lose your job. I just smiled, gathered my things and walked out. It's not worth my time to ***** and...

    guest416560 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks guys. Yes I am going to try to stay in California and still work in dermatology and/or family practice. My home is a yacht so it's fairly easy for me to unhook the lines and drive up or down...

    Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    guest416560 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The oversupply of NPs just hit me where it counts. I was told last week by administration that they love what I do but think I'm overpaid. I was told that I needed to take at least a $50,000 cut in...

    guest416560 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I could not agree more. There is a glut and those that disagree are in my mind naïve. Those of us in the trenches see it. Just because you got one great job in the middle of nowhere USA doesn't...

    Telemed in different state will i be in trouble?

    guest416560 replied to Crt2rn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Technically you were practicing without a license in those states where you are not licensed. It is a crime but not one where I'm sure the other states BON is going to come looking for you. They...

    Honesty with Recruiter

    guest416560 replied to Xpectsuccess's topic in Nurses Recovery

    And also, no reputable healthcare employer will hire or retain an employee who uses an illegal controlled substance while on duty. Marijuana and Nursing do not mix. That's not 100% accurate. In...

    Dermatology nursing

    guest416560 replied to aquakenn's topic in General Specialties

    As a dermatology nurse practitioner I have never had a RN work with me in the office. It is most cost effective to have a medical assistant in the clinic. Some of my former MAs now work for Dr....

    Prescribing Medical Marijuana

    guest416560 replied to iriska_meller's topic in Advanced Practice

    Nobody can prescribe marijuana. That is a federal offense. You can recommend marijuana to your patients if your state has legalized it. The majority of prescribers I know who do this MDs NPs and...
