  1. Did anyone do their own CAQH profile if so how hard was it?

    myoglobin posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My favorite job prospect wants me to complete the CAQH. How hard is this process (I am told it is quite tedious and challenging). Any

  2. Nursing Student balance Preventing NCLEX-RN attempt

    myoglobin replied to Nursinglife090's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing against Dave Ramsey (his plan is great if you can execute it). However, as someone who has earned 70K for the last decade and still owes 150K in student loan debt I can tell you that...

  3. NP job wants my Medicare number, but I have only worked as RN.

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

    Perhaps, but I don't think I have a CMS number. Wouldn't this be issued with my Medicare approval (thus far I haven't even applied for Medicare

  4. I keep getting my fingerprints rejected.

    myoglobin posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just just had my Washington state fingerprints rejected for the second time. I fear that the same will happen with my Arizona fingerprint card (my wife had to send her card three times and this...

  5. Is my TEAS 6 Score Good enough? Or should I retake?

    myoglobin replied to CM98's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The specific parameters of your school(s) should dictate your actions. At many schools there will be hundreds of applicants for 40 to 60 spots. In those programs I would want to be well over the 90th...

  6. Nursing Student balance Preventing NCLEX-RN attempt

    myoglobin replied to Nursinglife090's topic in General Nursing

    Here are some thoughts: 1. Could the balance be paid off with Federal Direct student loans? Sometimes these can be obtained retroactively for the past year. 2. Would the school "take a payment plan"...

  7. I walked out of a job fair after being Reminded why I left the southeast

    myoglobin replied to Tony1790's topic in Advanced Practice

    Keep in mind that in Georgia and Florida you must always have a collaborating physician (I'm not even sure in Georgia that NP's can prescribe schedule II medications). Washington is the "mecca" for...

  8. What's the least saturated specialty in APRN?

    myoglobin replied to soljhs's topic in Advanced Practice

    I cannot imagine having to stay up for 24 hours. I would think that the stress on your brain, body and cognition would be tremendous. However, I am a big lover of 12 hour

  9. Side hustle?

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

    Many people here in central Florida are making great money on Airbnb combined with investment real-estate. They will get a property in the range of 5 bedrooms with a pool (usually in a gated or resort...

  10. No One Understands

    myoglobin replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    The bottom line is that you "must" have a regular sleep schedule if you are to be healthy working night shifts. Thus, someone who worked 7p to 7am should probably sleep somewhere along the lines of...

  11. Always feeling rushed/stressed!

    myoglobin replied to TexasmedicRN's topic in General Nursing

    Early in my career I used to be a "care first" nurse and then pray for my "window of opportunity" to catch up on charting between midnight and around 0300 (before morning labs, baths, and...

  12. What does the floor really think of nursing students?

    myoglobin replied to superduper's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in clinical we were required to have cell phones (although we were to make personal calls). It was important so that we could look up information as appropriate on applications such as...

  13. I keep getting my fingerprints rejected.

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

    The thing is that unlike California I don't believe they accept "live scan". They do have the option of "digital fingerprints" being printed on "their paper card", but no fingerprint facility that I...

  14. Worried New Grad. Any advice?

    myoglobin replied to UnicornsnRainbows28's topic in General Nursing

    Never "fall in love" with any particular job and try not to count on getting any particular job. Keep applying and allow yourself the widest area (including relocating if possible) of application....

  15. Did anyone do their own CAQH profile if so how hard was it?

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

    I already have malpractice insurance and it is $100.00 per month. Also my wife ( also a PMHNP) has worked 1099 for the last 3 years and also has to pay her own insurance(and she only gets 85 hour but...

  16. Did anyone do their own CAQH profile if so how hard was it?

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

    This offer is in Flagstaff. My best Florida offer was 140k and would require a two hour commute each way. Also no benefits 1099, but they will let me work 4 10’s and a half day on Friday (so I will...

  17. Did anyone do their own CAQH profile if so how hard was it?

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

    In this case the company consists of three people so they are asking me to help. Given that they are my only $100 hour offer I am inclined to do so if I can figure out the

  18. Interview Questions and strategies for first NP job

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

    Questions to ask might include: a. How much time is allocated for medical management appointments (30 is good and 15 is bad)? b. What software do you use and does it have electronic prescription...

  19. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    I am seeing lots of offers around Seattle for about $50.00 per hour for an RN (granted I have about 12 years experience). Also, the extra 5% boost for not having income tax is worth considering....

  20. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

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

    Maybe, but it is "free". I might not be in my right mind, but honestly if I had a suitable RV or camper I might consider spending some time there. There are always trade offs especially when you are...

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

    Not true. Slab City is absolutely free .http://www.wtfshouldidowithmylife.com/live-in-slab-city/ All you need are solar/wind generators and to bring in or buy your water and you can truly live rent...

  22. 5 8s, no thanks!

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

    I know that in the PMHNP world that four tens while not "common" also are not rare. I have had multiple places offer me a 60/40 split (1099) and advise me that I can "set my own schedule" working...

  23. 5 8s, no thanks!

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

    You will find the best opportunity for the schedule that you seek in places with higher demand/pay. This might include locations like Washington (state), New York State, Conn, Mass, Oregon, and...

  24. Are letters of reference mandatory for Medicaid and Medicare approval?

    myoglobin posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was thinking about working for a local company that will pay me $60.00 per medical management appointment and $100.00 for assessments and who has about 400 patients waiting for services. However,...

  25. Is it the idea of NPs in general Dr. Leah Houston is disgusted with?

    myoglobin replied to the VEGAN Professor's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think anyone would argue that there isn't room for improvement in the quality of studies examining this issue. However, the "discussion" which this thread is based around doesn't even purport...
