  1. Changing careers (sort of)?

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yeah, I feel kind of horrible that I feel tired of primary care at 3 years but I am looking for a change. But I don't know that I necessarily know what specialty I'd want to go into-- for reasons...

  2. Changing careers (sort of)?

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Advanced Practice

    Perhaps, I think that's why I've also considered doing inpatient as an NP Since I don't currently have a family or anything, I actually prefer to do shift work instead of the 8-5pm M-F that I have...

  3. Changing careers (sort of)?

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Advanced Practice

    I want to be an RN, but have heard mixed opinions on an NP working as an RN (biggest thing is liability and issues revolving around being "overqualified" for the job, despite my actually not have much...

  4. Primary care to acute care

  7. NP or RN: career dilemma

    amalay replied to amalay's topic in Nursing Career

    Do you think I stand a chance to simply apply to RN jobs and leave my NP work experience on the resume? Or would I qualify for new grad RN positions if I don't have any inpatient

    amalay posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know everyone has a different opinion on this but I'd love to hear input from the very experienced and the newbs like me. I'm a primary care pediatric NP who recently just switched jobs. I spent...

  9. Changing jobs too much??

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

    What would longevity be to most of you? 2+ years or even more? I feel bad that primary care doesn't seem to be my "thing". I can't tell if it's because I've just gotten jobs with very poor management...

  10. Changing jobs too much??

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

    What about thoughts on switching jobs? If I were to continue searching for a more supportive position as an NP, would it look bad to employers if I had two jobs of only 1-2yrs on the

  14. New Grad NP Salary vs Hourly Pay California

    amalay replied to saynotojello's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh- you don't have to tell me haha. I'm originally from Stockton (formerly most miserable city in the US!) and for me personally I'd never even dream of living/working back in the area. The only...

  17. Primary care PNPs in specialty practice?

    amalay posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  18. Primary care PNPs in specialty practice?

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

    I would absolutely love to be able to do something like outpatient pulmonary/asthma clinics; I guess I'll keep my eyes peeled for these should they come

  19. Primary care PNPs in specialty practice?

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

    Ah, that may be a difference between PNPs and FNPs. There's actually a "primary care" certification for a PNP and then a separate "acute care" PNP certification (although I believe this is newer). I...

  20. NP Salaries/Location/Specialties

    amalay replied to tsipareht's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure that I am the one to answer your question tNrN2fNp; this is my first position and I didn't ask or negotiate for the raise myself. Maybe some of the more senior NPs can answer this...

    amalay replied to RunNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How long has your job search been going on for? I know that I was stressing right after I graduated and passed my boards as well because I took my test a month or so later than my peers and also...

  22. Career advice- to leave or not to leave?

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

  24. Career advice- to leave or not to leave?

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

    That's actually one of my questions too-- what would you consider a reasonable amount of time? I know my friends say that 2 years is enough, but they also work in tech where moving and turnover is a...

  25. Career advice- to leave or not to leave?

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

    Totally agree--sorry, I have a bad habit of saying "midlevel" because that's what I'm called and what everyone uses most commonly where I work (in person, in contracts, etc). I don't feel like my...
