    Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    That really sucks and I hate to hear that. Unfortunately your story is becoming the norm and not the exception. Some on here will tell you go west and work in a rural clinic. Most new NPs can't...

    Did you take a risk?

    guest416560 replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I love being a NP but get bored of the day to day clinic work. I decided to do something totally different and acquired my United States Coast Guard Captain's License. I'm now certified to pilot up...

    New Grad NP need your advice on employment

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

    Wow. I have friends who are lawyers who are suffering with sub par $100,000 wage who went to great law schools. It's simple economics about supply and demand. I don't have any printed evidence to...

    New Grad NP need your advice on employment

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

    Its going to get worse. Those who don't believe this have their heads in the sand. It's simple economics. This is a prime example of a new grad trying to take any job she can get and any pay grade....

    New Grad NP need your advice on employment

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

    You can make great money with Medicare Advantage housecalls as a new NP. I would look up MedXM which is now part of Quest. They pay you around $100 per housecall and can usually get you 5 to 6...

    New Grad NP need your advice on employment

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

    Neither, keep looking Both jobs are paying way undermarket for your skill set. You would starve trying to live in Aliso Viejo or San Clemente in south Orange County at 108k per year. At $100k in LA...

    Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

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

    I run into this daily, multiple times a day in my rural clinic. I start by asking my patient's how would their lives change if they went blind and then listen. I then ask how would they feel if they...

    Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    guest416560 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The oversupply is here. Even where I work in an extremely rural area wages are starting to decrease because of "warm bodies" who will accept any job. It's just a matter of time when NP wages will be...

    What kind of GPA do I need to get into Nurse Practitioner school?

    guest416560 replied to ananana123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    These days with a NP school on almost every corner, if you can pull a 2.0 GPA, have a pulse and the $$ to pay for school you can pretty much get a spot. It's sad what has happened to a once noble...

    FNP Oversaturation

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

    If I'm billing the insurance companies at 85% of what a MD does then I expect to be paid accordingly. Unfortunately most NPs are not because they are ignorant on how to negotiate or just refuse to do...

    Salary expectations for Bay Area (San Jose/ Cupertino)

    guest416560 replied to hic12345's topic in Advanced Practice

    Based on my personal observations that is low for the Bay Area. Remember, the average house price is now over $1,000,000. You would have a hard time surviving on that

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

    At this point I would not recommend any RN to pursue the NP path if you are doing it to garner higher wages. Had a very good friend of mine just get offered a NP job starting at $35 per hour. The...
