Yes. My clinic participates in CPC plus and we have lot documentation to do which we cannot finish as we see pts. Our EHR is not that great either. It has lots of clicks which takes a lot of time.

Currently in new york upstate area. Started off as a new graduate at 100K and after 3 years raised salary to 115k with only health insurance, $500 for CME and 15 days of vacation which includes sick time. We see 25 pt per day and take charting home where spend another 4 hrs in documentation without any pay for home xharting time. Private clinic.

Yes you do need ACNP certification. FNPs are outpatient trained so if you want to work inpatient hospitalist then you will need ACNP. THANKS

Yes I am looking for this kind of urgent care where they have no weekends and work M to F for 8 hrs. I don't think they have any clinics in NY area but I will keep looking if they have anything in Connecticut or New Jersey. Do you need any special certification for Occupational medicine?

What is your shift? Do you also promote wellness programs for employees? Or it is strictly urgent care and occupational health?

Hello Everyone, Do anybody have any idea about OHNP job duties? what is their salary range in NY? what is the scope of growth professionally? Is anybody working as an OHNP currently and how are they doing? Thank you, VaD

We have back to back patients and I cannot keep that pt waiting until I finish my previous pt's chart. I have to type diagnosis every time and it takes time because when I type something and hit enter, it takes about 10 to 15 secs to populate whatever was entered. So every 10 to 15 seconds adds up and just not possible to finish it. I am able to finish other things such as HPI, ROS, Physical exam, but not the assessment and plan area that takes a lot of time. I use allscript. Let me know if you have any inputs on how to make doc faster.

It is a allscript. I am not sure what version but I heard it was an old version. We don't have smart phrase option. We have to type diagnosis every time we see a patient. It is not just me who has this problem in my clinic. It is all APRNs and PA who takes work home and document. I see 15 to 18 pts per day and still not able to finish because 1st of all our software is very slow and it freezes all the time, kicks us out 3 to 4 times a day. My supervising physician who owns this clinic does not want to do anything because she does not document, somebody else does it for her. So she does not care. I wish we had an EHR that was user friendly.

I have been working as a primary care nurse practitioner for 1 yr now and my clinic is good but charting is tremendous. I work m-f 8-530 and then take work home everyday because there is no way I can finish my charting 1 hr after work. It takes easily 3 to 4 hours to finish my charting and that I do seven days a week so, my work and life balance is not good at all. All NPs from my clinic take work home and charting that is all they do all 7 days. We take calls one entire week once in a month and work one half Saturday. I don't know if it's the software we use or it it across the board in primary care that charting has become our life? I am trying to find a job that will give me work life balance that I had when I was RN. I love my job as an NP but charting on weekends and then after work until I go to sleep has made my life miserable.
