  2. Help- Minute Clinic or Planned Parenthood?

    espress099 replied to Stephgriffin6's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think planned parenthood would be much more interesting. I dont know about PP, but minute clinic makes you do EVERYTHING yourself- your the Np, MA, cashier, stocker etc. i bet MC pays better but I...

  3. Putting the feelers out

    espress099 replied to Mr. Southern NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree. i had several clinicals at places where the wife was the office manager- always a toxic environment. I have yet to see it work out well. I was one of the deal breakers for me when i was...

  4. New Grad NP feeling Overwhelmed, Scared

    espress099 replied to dolgre411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was very nervous too when i first started, but I had a wonderfully supportive doc that I worked for and a nice patient population with 2 great MA's. I was completely set up for success and yet every...

  5. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    espress099 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can understand where you're coming from; all I can say is that if I had to be paid the same to be an RN or an NP I'd choose NP a thousand times over! Not saying you should settle for less money,...

  6. Pros & Cons of Physician-Owned Clinics?

    espress099 replied to missdeevah's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Definitely private practice!! I love the autonomy! The fact that they ask my opinion and im treated like a partner in some ways. I can have whatever I want in the office, just ask my MA to order it....

  7. New NP pay

    espress099 replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes I am an FNP. I don't know anyone who works in Hampton/ VA beach area but my guess would be 90k starting. It's a cheap area to live compared to NOVa so that salary may not be bad giving cost of...

  8. New NP pay

    espress099 replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    One year experience 95K in northern VA, offered 85 and negotiated up. Standard benefits. First job was also northern VA but a little further west (45 mi west of DC) and was offered 95k w/no benefits....

  9. Signature stamp a bad idea?

    espress099 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My office manager told me shes getting a stamp with my signature, but I'm not sure why. She says she has one of the doctor's "for contracts" but I don't sign any contracts and all my prescriptions are...

    espress099 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi All, I need a little advice on how to handle this situation. I'm a new grad FNP (board certified, licensed) and went to a job interview in DC where they offered me 84k per year with very little...

  11. NP thoughts on office managers?

    espress099 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a new grad NP and through my clinicals I've encountered that most NP's don't like the office manager (mainly, I think because these are non clinical personnel trying to tell clinicians how to do...

  12. NP thoughts on office managers?

    espress099 replied to espress099's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ⬆️^^ this, SoundOfMusic, is exactly what I'm referring to; I feel like I kept seeing this in various different practices and I'm already not looking forward to having to deal with

  13. Need Advice for New Grad Job

    espress099 replied to IntransigentSmith's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you work in the pediatric ER you'll get both peds and psych patients (usually adolescent), though ER nurses don't have too much contact with them- we just draw their labs and get them a sitter....

  14. new grad having extreme difficulty

    espress099 replied to momo42's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  15. negotiating as a new grad NP

    espress099 replied to espress099's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree

  16. negotiating as a new grad NP

    espress099 replied to espress099's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's a really good point that the billing is the same. Thanks for your advice. It makes me mad when employers offer us such a low amount, and even more upset when others are willing to take. It...

  17. new grad having extreme difficulty

    espress099 replied to momo42's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think summer is a very hard time to get a job, census is low and people (recruiters/hiring managers) are on vaction and hospitals/offices aren't as busy as fall/winter. I have faith that you'll be...

  18. negotiating as a new grad NP

    espress099 replied to espress099's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    espress099 replied to seibeb2012's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm in the Washington DC area and I'm also having a hard time finding a job as a new NP. I do have RN experience but I'm finding that my classmates are all getting jobs from people they know, not job...

  20. Frustrations are high before AANP exam

    espress099 replied to RM, MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  21. Frustrations are high before AANP exam

    espress099 replied to RM, MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with AZ-RN, MSN 100%... I did the EXACT same thing she did and just passed the AANP last week. I didnt do a lot of questions- just the practice tests and I kinda wish I had done more questions...

  22. Clinical questions in FNP interview

    espress099 replied to ilovensg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's a good point. I feel like she'd be very overbearing and insistent that I do everything her way. She said she'd make me her scribe at first so I could "learn the computer system"... I wasn't...

    espress099 replied to ilovensg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
