  1. On Call Question for Family Practice NP's

    cgfnp replied to DYSPHORIC JOY's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I get an extra 20K/yr but this is for on call for hospital inpatients, long term care and ED. This is getting ready to go to 30K/yr, but this is rediculous in my opinion so I'll be leaving when my...

  2. ER NP's

    cgfnp replied to lalaxton's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You can make your own check off sheet for the most common complaints then make a general SOAP based sheet for the rest. That's the premise of T-Systems

  3. Help! Did I screw myself?

    cgfnp replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I knew someone would bring the old "get out what you put in" routine. And for the most part, that's true. You do run across an occasional broken pop

  4. Help! Did I screw myself?

    cgfnp replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    But that's the thing that drives me crazy about it; you will always know more than the instructor in that instance because the instructor in that instance (if they are smart and experienced) will say,...

  5. ER NP's

    cgfnp replied to lalaxton's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When I came to a rural hosp I helped change the ED documentation to T-systems. Before, it was basically a blank progress note. Needless to say, the documentation was horrid before. It also helps...

  6. Help! Did I screw myself?

    cgfnp replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't say a word. They are in a position to really screw your life up. Just wait until they can't touch you (ie after graduation). Then, in a place crowded with peers, tell that teacher what an...

  7. Help! Did I screw myself?

    cgfnp replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I didn't know it was so poor before I did it. I stopped pursuing an MD when an MD talked me out of it. I was young, impressionable, and made a mistake. I went NP for 3 mos, realized it wasn't...

  8. Help! Did I screw myself?

    cgfnp replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    np had better lobby power in my state. didn't matter, though, as they can't get together as a unit and accomplish anything anyway. why didn't i sell my house, try to find another, move my family,...

  9. Help! Did I screw myself?

    cgfnp replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In my program a few of the instructors were probably instructors because they couldn't handle it in the real world. You could tell it in their answers to clinical questions, which quickly led me to...

  10. SW MO FNP programs

    cgfnp replied to JaimeeG's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went to the Joplin UMKC one, and it was horrific. There were a couple of decent teachers, but overall it was terrible. It was unorganized and filled with rediculous information (I wrote a paper on...

  11. Rural Midlevel Abuse

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

    "I felt..." past tense. Just a misunderstanding as you said. A dearth of MDs? Now that's a new one. Tell that to the administrator here. There sure aren't any beating down our doors. I agree...

  12. Rural Midlevel Abuse

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

    I don't know where you got that I was a student. I work in a rural hospital as I said. And the Critical Access Hospital program is nation wide. Those small hospitals who choose not to participate...

  13. Rural Midlevel Abuse

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

    The money is there in rural healthcare now. Reimbursements are among the best in primary care. I work in one of the most rural parts of the country at a clinic/hospital in a town of 1200 and there...

  14. Rural Midlevel Abuse

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

    I had to edit this because you don't have enough room to accept PMs brownrice. Hi Brownrice. I know how you feel. Hang in there. You are just jumping through hoops. Just keep your head down and your...

  15. Rural Midlevel Abuse

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

    This is true, and what I am trying to change. It will only change if we wake up the zombie midlevels who are just sheep and don't even realize what they are worth. And don't anyone try to tell me...

  16. FNP or ARNP ?

    cgfnp replied to 115168's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ARNP is just a title difference... doesn't specify a specialty. Maybe you mean ACNP which means acute care (inpatient stuff). I'd go FNP so you can do anything you want. The training will suck for...

  17. How much to pay a collaborating doc

    cgfnp replied to chellefnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're independent and don't think you'll use much clock time of the physician, then I'd offer them an hourly consult fee, such as $300/hr. It sounds huge but if you think about it, if they only...

  18. Call Pay???

    cgfnp posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone in a rural setting where you share ED/Hospital Inpatient call with other NP/PA/MD/DOs? Would you please disclose your pay for this call and how much it entails/how busy you/your hospital/ED is?...

  19. Call Pay???

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

    I am enjoying my job very much, but nothing is worth getting taken advantage of. We'll see how it goes... I will be meeting with admin soon. I'll keep you

  20. Call Pay???

    Sounds fair to

  21. Call Pay???

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

    I knew you were fairly treated. I guess I'll just have to move to

  22. Pay for NP Independent Contractors

    cgfnp replied to BrandyNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I used to see 60-70 weight loss patients on the busy days and averaged 40 per day throughout the year and got $20/pt. Yes, that's nearly $200K per year as a lowly NP. Hard to believe, eh? What's...

  23. Do you any of you moonlight at another job?

    cgfnp replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't, but I'm looking to. Especially if administration doesn't agree with my new compensation plan (which makes total sense and is totally fair, so they probably

  24. Totally floored - put on Probation in FNP program? I can't take this anymore!!!!

    cgfnp replied to lannisz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know exactly how you feel. I wouldn't be surprised to hear you say you are in the same program I went to. It was almost identical to yours; riddled with BS. The training was nightmarish. There...

    Anyone in the national health service corp loan repayment
