  1. Rural Health

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

    I know... I could handle that (even scouring books to figure out what the blankety blank is going

  2. Rural Health

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

    Thanks Siri... Too bad I'm not getting the ER offer like you!!! They're offering $20K/yr for 1:4 ER call; granted the ER only gets 3-4

  3. Rural Health

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

    Well, after countless emails and phone calls, it's down to two choices. Missouri sucks as all the RHC/CHCs want to pay $55K/yr. I asked them what they want me to do for the other six months of the...

  4. Otoscope/opthalmoscope sets

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

    I use a welch allyn pocket and it works

    Great!!!

  6. Rural Health

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

    Thanks for the encouragement. I hope they see it that way, but spelling it out and actually getting it are two different things. They may just say, all that sounds good, but the average NP makes...

  7. Rural Health

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

    Being a new grad you don't have much negotiating power unless they are in desperate need and no one else wants to work there. Your best option as a new grad is interview with several and get 5 or 6...

  8. Rural Health

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

    Yeah, and also a test to see if they will keep working for that. If they will, then more money for the administration. If they are smart, they will know the numbers and use them to

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

    I've seen the offers from WA, and they are pretty similar across the US. They are reluctant to offer big bucks 'site-unseen' which is understandable. As far as they know, I may be 'booked' with 8...

  10. Rural Health

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

    I'm not in Tucson any more... moved back home to Missouri after going to Tucson for school. I do have a pretty sweet deal w/ my MD friend, but money isn't everything, and there are many other...

  11. np md clinic

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

    Most states require a MD or DO, specialty doesn't matter. Some states do not require a MD/DO at all. Keep in mind this is a practice law, not a clinic ownership law. To own your own clinic, no...

  12. collaborating physician salary

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

    Really depends on how much you'll be using this MD. If you are experienced and can handle almost anything without a consult and just need them for their license, then $1000/month should be plenty....

  13. Too Young?

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

    Agree with other posters.... and one more thing... I'm 29 and a NP and no problems there. But I'm much too young to feel this damn old. (shameless plug for Garth, no pun

  14. Sicker than the Sick

    cgfnp posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't you just love working sick and seeing people you are sicker than asking for a work note???

  15. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

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

    You're kidding me?!?! This is going to raise all kinds of hell. The training isn't even close to the same. I suppose once residency is over it doesn't matter but I guarantee the nursing PhDs are...

  16. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

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

    That website showed that no one gets advanced standing. Only savings would be 5+ yrs healthcare experience = no MCAT

  17. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

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

    None in Missouri I know of (unless she's thinking of UMKC's six year BS/MD program where you can apply as an advanced-standing student (someone who already has a BS and healthcare experience can start...

  18. Dept. of Health and Human Serivces loan repayment

    cgfnp replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Get your resume out early on the web, and contact recruiters early. Use websites (npworld.us or npjobs.com or paworld.net). You'll have plenty to choose from if you do this. Get some experience in...

  19. Dept. of Health and Human Serivces loan repayment

    cgfnp replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are pros and cons about it. But for me, the pros are much stronger than the cons so I'm glad I did it this way. The med school route would've have taken me away from my 2 year old daughter for...

  20. Dept. of Health and Human Serivces loan repayment

    cgfnp replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had my job lined up before I even entered undergrad nursing major. I was about 6 mos from starting med school at the U of AZ when a dr buddy of mine I'd known for several years talked me into...

  21. Dept. of Health and Human Serivces loan repayment

    cgfnp replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There's also a catch... the money you get from them is treated as income and taxed! What a bunch of BS, eh? (I'm assuming this is the same program as the one I've read where they'll pay 60% of your...

  22. NP Education

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

    That ER experience is your ace in the hole. You'll fly through NP school with no trouble. That's what helped me the most as well. I think it should be completely changed to a Master's in Family...

  23. What to pay my physician?

    cgfnp replied to Bob32's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd say probably about $1000/month plus a fair fee per consult that may be determined by how much you're reimbursed for services. (maybe $60/patient or something, $40/phone consult, etc). Really...

  24. NP's in Minute, Express, or Retail Clinic Setting

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

    I figured that would happen. My bro is an optometrist for Wal Mart which led me to think that urgent cares were probably soon to

  25. NP's in Minute, Express, or Retail Clinic Setting

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

    I wondered when these would enter the retail world. Just surprised Wal-Mart wasn't the first to do it. I haven't seen any in the midwest yet, although we're usually about 10 years behind the rest of...
