I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into the DNP Scholarships for Distance-based MSN to DNP programs? I'm a Nurse Entrepreneur who would eventually love to teach (professor) a distance-based Nursing program (with a concentration on Innovation/Lea...

Hi All, I know Per Diem Staffing Agency use is sometimes a necessary evil. I'm looking to start a thread on the utilization and solutions. If you could chime in, I think this could help out other like Minded DONs. 1.) What City/State are you based ...

Hi there.. I'm a CNO a Nursing Staffing Agency.. and we are moving into markets that require drug testing. We staffing Nursing Homes, so many of our markets haven't asked for Urine Drugs testing before in the past. My Question, for you hospital trave...

Hey fellow Entrepreneurs. I've taken my little agency to a rather large agency in the past year (with the help of a great team). We now staff 35 facilities in the Metro Boston Region and are moving down the Coast shortly. We've found our niche in Per...

Update... My business went from 1 facility (August 2016), to 9 facilities (last post- Jan 2017), and we are now at 35 facilities with my On-Demand Staffing company. I've been able to build my internal team from 5 to 25 , and our Provider pool from 10...

Hi All... Roll Call present. I am a recent graduate FNP (RN for 7 years) however, I was taken back down my entrepreneurial side after 1 week of practicing as an NP. 6 months ago... my non-medical home care business transitioned to CNA/Nurse staffing....

Hi Everyone, I'm taking AANP FNP exam in 6 days and I have been utilizing Leik's Intensive review and going through questions on boardvitals.com Boardvitals.com has two options for NP AANC and AANP. I was under the impression that the AANP section wo...

Hi BostonFNP, I have read through this resource several times, however, my anecdotal observation of this forum show that most testers do not find non-clinical questions on the AANP FNP test. I would rather concentrate more so on the important topics ...

Kinda... I'm a co-founder, but now more of an advisor, to an On-Demand staffing App/platform for non-medical home-care and Nursing facilities. More business development, streamlining, and coding than actually utilizing my clinical skills. Anyhow, I'...

Hello everyone, I seeking recommendations from fellow Entrepreneurial NPs. I just graduated and am negotiating my first NP job. I didn't mention salary during my first 2 meetings, but my future collaborator/owner of practice asked me, so I responded,...

I've gotten several meeting with providers by asking non-threatening advice via Linkedin messaging (not requests- those are junk), which has turned into interviews /offers during our talks (even when I wasn't looking for a spot at their practice). I ...

You are much more at risk being an RN in-patient in psych. Pysch providers typically stay far away from being assaulted and can recognize a bad situation from a mile away. As far as return on investment, if you search around this forum: 120k - 160k ...

I was under the understanding that FNP was more outpatient "primary care" and Acute Care (Adult) NP was in-patient (I didn't rotate or do any training outside of primary care (urgent care) for my FNP). As long as you are working with and training wit...

Get a Linkedin account (buy the sales package) and start connecting with business owners/partners at Ob-Gyn practices in your area. The local OB-GYN where I did my clinic (who I met on Linkedin) had his NPs manage the lower risk clients, most who wer...

As far as taxes, you will be responsible for an extra 7.5% compared to being an employee. Take the 15% and divide it by 2 (typically employer picks up 7.5%). As far as lowering your tax rate, there are many ways. Real Estate investment is one of them...

Me and the wife have been putting in 15-20% each in 401k and roth401k since we finished undergrad. I just finished NP school (10 years later) and I'm now in negotiation on my contract. I am attempting to have an option to put my production bonus tow...

HI FNP2B1, that seems like pretty good compensation. 1.) How many days, and average how many clients per day? 2.) How far was your distance covered? I live in Boston, so I'm think of restricting my region to a couple neighborhoods (100k population)...

Anyone have experience opening up a House Call Practice with primary care + urgent care (excepting medicare)? I've seen Dr. Baker's course.. which seems like it would have good info. The Housecall Course | AANP Approved | Dr. Scharmaine Lawson-Baker,...

I just finished my FNP... for me, Adult and Family were pretty much independent. OB-GYN, there was no way I was going to be independent with my OB patients and the GYN I needed some assistance (I'm a male). For pediatrics... it was 50/50. I used epoc...

I'm just beginning my studying (just passed my schools Comps course)... How many practice questions did you take? I find it much easier and more efficient answering questions then reviewing books over and over. Especially reviewing the questions that...

I took Organic Chem in Undergrad as a Bio major... but why is everyone here taking it for NP school? I just finished my FNP program and we didn't go anywhere near Organic Chem... it doesn't even seem relevant.

Post Masters Psych online at Drexel can be as quick as 24 credits... but it won't give a DNP.

I did a 2 year ADN at community college, had a 4 year biology degree in my prior life. I am now about half way through Frontier Nursing University FNP program. I would recommend the same, to save money and for a good education.

check out forums for pre-meds... search their forums or ask the questions there. Just remember that your grad school GPA will not be calculated in your undergrad GPA, which is what med schools use for their statistics. So yes, an MPH will help... if ...
