What I don't quite understand is why haven't I just flat out been denied if d/I ratio needs to be so high? I am way less than 100%, not sure what my facility rating is, but would guess tier 1. Anyway, why don't they just deny me, instead still unde...

Hi, I wasn't aware of D/I ratio when I applied. Mine is less than 100%, so am very doubtful I would get anything. Congrats to those of you who have been awarded!

I would like to know too if any NPs have heard anything . I haven't heard anything except online my application still shows "under review". I called but recording says they don't know more than what online says, so I didn't talk with anyone. I don...

Thank you!

Hi, Took exam today and passed. Just wanted to share what I think helped me pass. 1. Barkley's review course & CDs. I really enjoyed the CDs, and had them before the review class. I listed to them quite a bit in my car. He made anemias easy...

I did negotiate but you are right about that, I am not good at it. Also, my priority was working Mon-thurs to spend time with my retired husband, etc.

I would have loved to have been offered higher $. Basically, the new NP's in our area (midwest) are getting $75-85 year in office/outpatient settings. About $90 in hospital settings.

Hi I just graduated AGPCNP and have accepted a job. My RN wage just wet up to $35 hr. I have been an RN since 1991. I am in the Midwest. I will be working part-time 32 hrs per week for a gerontology group. It is a different setting, not really ho...

Congratulations! Thank you for your post. That is good to know that you took a concentrated week of studying and passed. I take AGPCNP AANP end of June. I will also be in Barkley's live review next week. I have been listening to him and using th...

Hi, I normally am pretty calm by nature, but the more I think about the test, the more anxious I get. I have a Fitzgerald book, and Barkley CDs have takn notes from CDs. I am in his review in two weeks. My question is, how long do you all recommen...

Thank you!

Congrats!

Hi, Thanks for the information. When you say that Leik and Barkley did not cover all the material, did you feel you needed more review, or were they enough? Sounds like you did great! I was just planning on using Barkley's stuff, along with the Fit...

I am scheduled to take Barkley mid June, then am taking a couple of weeks later. I am taking AANP. I have his CDs and have some Fitzgerald CDs and the book that goes with it. So I am combining them until I actually go to his review and get his boo...

Hi, I am being considered for LTC position. I graduate in May. Anyway, I shadowed NP in LTC/rehab facility. She has her own nurse that works for her by pulling charts, and filing out paperwork. She sees anywhere from 25 up to 50-60 patients daily...

Thank you. I have accepted a position with a different company than the one I had asked about. Thanks! Lynn

Hi, thank you. In the offer they quoted n hourly rate which is $39.55 even tho I am salary. This works out to $65,811.20. CME $2000, 4 weeks vacation, no non-compete (which other offer had). Annual year end bonus of $1000. Since I am older, pen...

I am so excited! I will be transferring to the physician group in the hospital system I work in, which is a plus because I won't lose seniority,etc. This may sound weird, but a big thing with me was being able to work 4 days a week, Mon-Thurs. The...

Thanks everyone! My shifts are 8 which is fine with me. :)

Hi, I have two companies that said they would like to hire me. I have not received an official offer that says salary, etc. I was asked to interview for another place, whoch I will Tuesday. I feel kinda guilty that I have told both companies that ...

The non compete was for two years, and was too vague. I declined that position.

As far as the non compete, it includes about 6 counties, and states they can addas their business expands. This is for nursing homes. It says also, cannot work for any direct or indirect competitor. So I had told them they are too vague, and too l...

Thank you all for the advice. What interests me is medically managing people. The group I am talking to is with a physicians' group. They are growing very fast and go into nursing homes. I had also worked years ago in a nursing home as a RN, but ...

Thanks for the response. I am very, very happy to be finishing school, but noticed this past week just feeling a little blue. I walked/ran today for 14 miles and that helped! I think I just want to know what I am going to be doing job wise, this pr...

Thanks for the replies. I think one reason I am feeling guilty is I had told the nurse recruiter in one position that I had mixed emotions, and then a couple of days later the manager emailed me saying she wanted to extend an offer if I was interest...
