  2. Psych NPs Patient Schedules - Is this the norm?

    myoglobin replied to mangopeach's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that what I'm ultimately getting at is that IP state or not pay and benefits for NP's (not just Psych NP's) is only going to improve when more NP's control and run their practices either...

  3. How much do you owe in student loans?

    myoglobin replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I am happy. I enjoy my job much of the time and so long as my belly is full and can play my PS4, go for my am walks and lift weights/read books a few times per week I don’t really need much

  4. What's your opinion on nurses dating doctors?

    myoglobin replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see the problem. I worked with my SO in the ICU for eight years and now we work together as NP's, before that we owned a mortgage business together, and even worked at a medical collections...

  6. How much do you owe in student loans?

    myoglobin replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I actually racked up most of that debt on my ASN and BSN over ten years ago to help with living expenses when my significant other was going after her graduate degrees. About 20K was accumulated while...

  7. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    myoglobin replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, but would my training be improved from actually seeing patient, completing the excellent online CE courses at places like The Carlat Report, The Psychopharmacology Institute, and elsewhere or...

  8. How much do you owe in student loans?

    myoglobin replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    160K, but I've got a plan. Go back to school for my DNP (that way I can keep them in deferment) then perhaps go after another degree (more deferment) and then pay the minimum with the "graduate...

  9. Why doesn't any job seem to fit?? (AKA what is wrong with me?)

    myoglobin replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Nursing

    Keep trying, but take the focus away from finding a job that you "love" and instead focus on finding a job that you "hate less". I believe that we work to live not the other way around. There is a...

  10. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    myoglobin replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why would I even pursue a DNP since with a Masters I earn equivalent money as a PMHNP (around 250K as a first year graduate in an IP state). Indeed, had I decided to practice in Florida (which is not...

  11. Trying to understand prior auth's better.

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

    Also, I just had another client where I called Express Scripts for a prior auth with Premera Blue Cross, and I was told that "of course I would have to get a new prior authorization" with every dosage...

  12. Psych NPs Patient Schedules - Is this the norm?

    myoglobin replied to mangopeach's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't see why. It's just math. I pay 30% of my insurance intake and a $600.00 per month fee for the services of insurance billing, scheduling, and taking care of intake forms. The insurances that I...

  13. Psych NPs Patient Schedules - Is this the norm?

    myoglobin replied to mangopeach's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am private practice and dictate my own schedule and choose my own codes. My intakes are 90minutes and my followup appointments are 30minutes. I am on pace to earn about 250K after fees (no benefits...

    I believe that it only starts in the Fall unless they have expanded the

  15. University of Southern Indiana (USI) PMHNP - 2019

    myoglobin replied to JENFKB's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not sure, in my program I believe there were around 20 at graduation. I'm not sure how many

  16. PMHNP Program Admission Tips

    myoglobin replied to flyingsky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe that the rule emanates from the New York requirement to have "brick and mortar" school(s) in the state (a bit ironic since most colleges are meeting online for the foreseeable future for...

  17. PMHNP Program Admission Tips

    myoglobin replied to flyingsky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So USI is approved in around 40 states, but there are a few states with more burdensome requirements and New York is one of those states. As a graduate you can practice in any state so long as you are...

  18. PMHNP Program Admission Tips

    myoglobin replied to flyingsky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Very little in some areas especially Independent practice states. Probably, quite a bit more in certain especially East Coast states like New York. Still, I had two job offers at around 180K with...

  19. Thoughts on online Psych NP schools

    myoglobin replied to Lana717's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I went to the University of Southern Indiana and felt that the education quality was very good. At the time it was completely online, but now they have at least one campus visit per semester....

  20. What NP specialty offers the most flexibility?

    myoglobin replied to Future MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe that we "work to live" rather than "live to work". So no I cannot say that I particularly enjoy my job. Having said that I "dislike" my job far less than when I worked nights in ICU...

  21. What are the low stress nurse practitioner specialties?

    myoglobin replied to Future MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I find that I use almost every second of my 30 minute follow ups and initial 90 minute evaluations. I cover a plethora of information ranging from diet and exercise to good podcasts such as The Carlat...

  22. What NP specialty offers the most flexibility?

    myoglobin replied to Future MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The company that I work for is in Washington state and they do both telehealth and onsite, outpatient. I pay 30% of gross revenues and an additional $600.00 per month in fees. They do my scheduling,...

  23. What are the low stress nurse practitioner specialties?

    myoglobin replied to Future MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe that FNP or PMHNP in a moderately rural setting where you own the clinic in an IP state could be such as job. It would help if your income needs were modest. In this way you could do things...

  24. FNP or AGACNP?

    myoglobin replied to aka640's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If I was younger (such as my son's age he is 19) I might consider getting an FNP and an ACNP certification. In this way one would be able to manage patients both in an outpatient and inpatient...

  25. What NP specialty offers the most flexibility?

    myoglobin replied to Future MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Currently, I live in Florida and work as a PMHNP in Washington state via telehealth. When I worked as an ICU RN it was in Florida which is where I earned the $38.00 per
