  1. Amplified stethoscopes

    BChapp3182 replied to JDCitizen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I really did my research on amplified scopes as a new NP, I have a really hard time with murmurs. I concluded that Thinklabs makes a quality product (based on user reviews). I'm about to buy one...

  2. Sleeping at night for Hospital-based NP?

    BChapp3182 replied to ohsleepy1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I vote for sleeping as long as your still doing your job which you are. If the MDs and PAs at that same facility are sleeping then you should be too. We all know that a rested brain thinks better...

    BChapp3182 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I got another offer from a different aesthetics practice, it's only part time up to 32hrs/wk but I only want to do it p/t and get another more medically focused p/t job so as not to lose my NP skills....

    BChapp3182 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  5. Should I "dumb" down my résumé

    BChapp3182 replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you need to dumb it down. You have to look at it from their end, they will be putting time into training you and yes you will be out the door onto a new position as soon as you graduate. Or you...

  7. Job Offer--What do you think?

    BChapp3182 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They tell me the non surgical side last year grossed $900k and that sales were down. Obviously I'd have to be able to look at the books if I signed on with

    Thanks everyone for your replies and the awesome questions I need to still ask the employer. It's so helpful to get another's perspective. As far as the cosmetic med spa business goes, sales and...

  10. Job Offer--What do you think?

    BChapp3182 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I should add that the average salary for an ARNP in the cosmetic/skin care business according to the 2010 Advance for Nps Magazine survey is $105k. To me, the $75 base and simply doing the med spa...

    BChapp3182 replied to Lil_Mama4sho1's topic in Florida Nursing

  13. How bad is it...

    BChapp3182 replied to littleredmare's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you have another job offer that's better suited to you then you must take it. I know you probably feel bad about the other job but I'm sure they have been through this before. Just tell them...

  15. Mentor Needed

    BChapp3182 replied to NPCarebear112b's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When you start school and have questions post them here, the NPs on here are very friendly. I don't think anyone can "guide" you, NP school is a trip you have to take on your own. Being an NP means...

  16. FNP clinical questions?

    BChapp3182 replied to buster4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't sweat it. Your preceptor knows this is your first clinical rotation and will certainly not expect you to know much. You'll probably start off just shadowning for a day and then move onto...

    BChapp3182 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Nurse Management

    Yeah, I've been an LPN, RN and now ARNP started in 1994 so I do have nursing experience, but very little of it was in a hospital/floor nurse, maybe 2-3 years. I am currently a family ARNP. I've been...

    BChapp3182 replied to NPJGQ's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BChapp3182 replied to georgiapeachNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BChapp3182 replied to rwright15's topic in Florida Nursing
