I think it can be trickier to find a fully remote job with a competitive wage as a new grad. This is not a job I would every do for just the money......it will burn someone out pretty fast if they don't have a heart and a strong foundation for this field.

It's ridiculous for them to insinuate that you will never work again as a NP if you don't take the transfer.... but I do question if going to the bedside would be in your best interest. If the transfer is something you would be interested in, I would at least explore the opportunity. I also would do some self-reflection about what supports you need to be successful in next role. I would work with new manager to advocate what you need. They clearly aren't good as an organization in setting up people for success, so you are probably going to need to self-advocate but also do work outside of work to get up to speed. The first year is really rough... hang in there

If you go on PMHNP salary groups on facebook this what people are being told to ask and expect and that (100 /hour as a new grad) and that taking anything less is a disservices to the profession as a whole. I don't agree with that philosophy, but I am a fan of advocacy. I watch the payscale in my local market closely and it is adjusting quickly due to APP demand..... There are only a few PMHNPs in my department and one just left. when we are working full time and a new Dr working .8 is making more than double our salary and we are also not eligible for the bonsues they are... It's easy to see why they felt undervalued. They were able to leave to do more concierge medicine working less hours for equivalent pay. I feel like I am overall fairly compensated for what I am doing and my training but the discrepancy feels a little out of proportion.

People cheat with remote proctoring.....so no...now that the emergency pandemic is over that won't be an option.

600 dollar flat fee for the day

I am dual certified and just made the switch to psych. I think it is too early for me to make a judgement call. My employer, made pay structure changes to the FNP position that were not acceptable to me (it actually raised my pay but drs. got paid extra/or penalized for my productivity(there was no reward/dock for me)) and this felt uncomfortable for me. This spurred my decision to do the post-grad program, which I had already been considering. I was very comfortable in the FNP role and and generally ran on time and left on time so there wasn't a huge burnout issue for me. I got 30 minutes per patient...no matter the issue. In psych, I get 60 minutes for new and 30 minutes for follow up. I am still building my practice so I am not full yet. I had already been doing a lot of mental health prior to the transition, so I feel like it has been a fairly smooth transition. However, the needs are high and it can feel a little intimidating. There are also a lot of controlled substance dumps from their pcp and that can feel really frustrating. A lot of patients do video visits, and there isn't a lot of interaction between co-workers(we are all hybrid), which is something I really miss about family medicine . I don't hate telemedicine, but I really enjoy when patients come in person. I did get a pay raise with the switch which was nice.

I am dual certified as a FNP/PMHNP. I think the education and the scope is more versatile as a FNP. If you are working for someone though, the pay is definitely beter as a PMHNP. Best wishes on your journey.

It's always hard to hear our child being in a way that feels unfair. when emotions are high, it's hard to know the exact situation that occurred hearing it as 3rd or 4th parties but kudos to your daughter for personally taking her concerns to the actual instructor. That shows professionalism and confidence that will take her far. you should be proud! hoping all goes well with source testing.

Hopefully you found a placement!

I feel like the Barkely review may be good for that? you can choose what format you use.

I am hoping this a troll. The audacity to waste resources and time (an also come off looking like a fool ) to report something like this to the BON. We all get feedback in our life that we don't think is fair. Sometimes the smart thing to do is to thank them for the feedback and move on, at most writing a professional response and copying in the nursing instructor as well as dean would be all that should be done. I have students that don't agree with feedback I give. Sometimes it is hard to have a good self -perspective of your performance in clinical how students handle feedback says a lot about them and also tells me a lot about how they will do as nurses.

It was a cumulative time. We used to be able to go back to questions as well (but like I said, it's been a very long time so rules may have changed)

I am local, so I know lots of graduates ? I have honestly never met someone who didn't like the program. I came out very prepared. What makes them a stand out program is the one on one precepted clinicals. Most of the students in my cohort have gone on to be nursing leaders or advanced practice providers. For me, being in a cohort with high acheivers really motivated me to push myself and ultimately continue my education.

Good Luck! I am starting my post grad program as well. I am doing all in person clinical rotations but it was nail-biting getting them all secured (thankfully my school helps! )

I am not exactly sure what you are saying. My DNP project was developed over 2 years with the support of both DNP and PHD professors and was selected for publication in a nursing journal. There was certainly rigor. A PHD would not have served me well as I don't have a desire to work in academia, the courses and education I received for my DNP........... I am able to apply to current role and I find that to be valuable. I certainly appreciate the work of the nurses that came before us (yourself included), but please know that we area also making our mark and helping to further develop and grow the profession of nursing.

I think every job is really stressful that first year.....so it's really hard to say you weren't cut out for the role. I don't know if that job will "grow' you in terms of the NP role if that is what your hoping fore...but If a job with less responsibility and more balance feels right for you ....I think that is okay. I recently had a former student telling me about a job she had taken "It is not job that will let me work at my highest level, but it pays very well, has great benefits and is low stress....and right now that is what I need in my life" I was really impressed with her insight. It is okay to take a job that won't get you street creds or the patient interactions that you dreamed of when you are a student but to recognize that "right now this is right for me"

I actually think the DNP should be something that is obtained later. It's more about global health and leadership.... you can't really be a leader when you aren't even hardly a novice in the field/role you are learning . I found it more meaningful to get my DNP with a few years of experience under my belt. Good luck

Hopefully you will be moving to a different position ASAP

You are doing a disservice to yourself (and really to the profession). Quit working as a RN and only do the NP role. Moonlight somewhere else if you need the money. Why would they pay you as a NP, when your willing to get paid at a lower rate?

Good luck! I think that is a smart decision.

So one thing I didn't realize....is when you start... you have a lot of power. So think of the schedule you want....and ask for it. After you have agreed to a schedule they are much less accomodating. I have a great schedule....but I would have thought out what I wanted more if I had to do it over

That would be waaaay outside your scope of practice. I am a FNP but am getting a post grad PMHNP certificate. Getting a post grad cert.could be an option for you if you are wanting to do something of that nature.

That's a bait and switch.. 32 hours a week.....is full time.

I liked being a bedside nurse. For the first year....I missed it a bit. (It's natural to miss a role where you felt competent when you have moved back to a novice) I don't miss it even a little now. Given that you will be working in the hospital setting, I think you will still get the comradery that makes bedside nursing great. When I see APPs going back to bedside ....it's usually when they are in the first 6 months -1 year of the new role. I think that is a mistake.
