Hi, I am curious how many patients people who are doing primary care or specialty see per day. Also, was this number lower when you first started in your job? Thanks!!

I have been looking for 7 months for an NP job (certified as Adult) in the Boston area and I am getting frustrated, feeling down on myself, and at times demotivated. I haven't seriously considered relocating but realize that I need to do that. I don...

Even if I got a DNP, I would never refer to myself as Doctor to a patient. Scope of practice babble, autonomy babble, all this nursing babble talk does not make us physicians. I have met some a-hole doctors but still have respect for most people who ...

If your concern is salary, don't go into oncology, go become a botox injector.

I guess there isn't much the school could to do create more diversity in the classroom. Three years surrounded by a class that is 85% upper class white females who have had everything handed to them by mommy and daddy is not that enlightening.

Thanks everyone. Still looking. Hadn't thought about occ. health. will research.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but you can get your fingerprints done and send them into the FBI to see what shows up on your fbi records (if anything). Also were you a juvenille when it happenned, the records might be sealed,. SOme staes, I...

I might already know my own answer but thought I'd ask for input from the group. After one year in a crazy clinic with a supervising physician who had no interest in teaching me anything, I left and now am struggling to find a new job. I have gotten ...

I am not an NP in Vermont, but I can tell you it is a beautiful state! People are relaxed (at least compared to Massachusetts). I dont think there are a lot of Vermonter on this board! I have been recently looking around the job boards and it seems ...

I had a different question for Maine sp when I emailed the Maine nursing boards a question, they emailed me back the next day and told me processing time was typically 4-6 weeks.

Thanks for all the info Angie! I'll check them out!

Angie O, Congrats on the job. I too and in Mass and was thinking of checking out Maine jobs- Can you tell me how the licensing in Maine worked for you? Did your new job have to participate in maine licensing? Thanks for any help!

Just curious- how long do u think is too long? Given the job market, what is the longest you would drive??

Thanks for all the responses! I need a job and have an interview about 65 miles away on Friday- not ideal but doable. Thanks again!!!

Well, I have been in one horrible job so far and I can feel for you. Don't blame yourself or feel like a failure because of someone else actions! If you don't like where you are, start looking, but it seems pretty tough out there!!

I have no advice but just wishing you good luck! Congrats on landing a job too!!!!

Thanks, I'm just trying to get an idea of where jobs are!

Line, if u don't mind me asking what area are u in? Where are people moving to to find these jobs?????

Thanks for the positive comment. It is hard to stay positive but your post gives me hope. Thanks!

Ruth, Thank you for the message. For some reason I cannot PM. But keep me posted or just vent anytime!

Hi Ruth, I hope you are doing ok. This sounds like a challenging situation to say the least! Good luck!

Thanks for sharing this experience. I was "fired" for not being a good match with the boss. It was recent and it is difficult enough to find a job with that hanging over a person! I know its tough for people and it's hard to stay positive after an ex...

Thanks BC- Sounds incredibly busy! I am looking for a new job (very tough market!) and the thoughts of 15 minute visits have me questioning why I ever got into this in the first place! Sounds like you are getting some good experience though???

Thanks for the input so far! I can not imagine 15 minutes for a physical! When do you do your labs, paperwork, etc???

Dakus, I cant answer your question directly but I have a friend who went on a corrections NP interview- they did not ask specific care/disease questions. More general- why would you want to work here, how did u get interested, that type of thing. Let...
