Your body your choice. I will give my medical advice on things like eat less McDonalds, exercise more, get some fatty acids, etc but it is in no way our place to do any more than that. All vaccines, medical treatments, medications, etc are voluntary...

Yes I RX during covid and for long haul sx.

Can an ICU nurse chime in and help me with evaluating markers of covid prognosis? I need a "cheat sheet" to know what are the upper limits associated with increased mortality to keep in my head. Lactate Dehydrogenase Procalcitonin ...

Specialty areas tend to be the highest paying. I work for myself in my own business and do all cash clients. I perform anti-aging treatments like bio-identical hormones, botox, dermal fillers and practice holistic/functional medicine using herbs and ...

Can someone tell me what the difference is between a regular non-NP first assist and an NP first assist? What is the NP doing that the non-NP is not able to? I see jobs for NP first assist and wonder why they would not just hire an RN or the tra...

I have done these before, not for United but another staffing company. They pay per visit usually $65 or $75. You can realistically perform 3-4 per day. The exam alone takes an hour if your fast (involve glucose check, urine dipstick, monofilament t...

I have a job offer to be "Clinical Director" of a facility that performs cosmetic procedures both surgical and nonsurgical. My main responsibility would be running the non surgical side (med spa) and performing all the laser and fillers and doing sa...

Can someone please explain to me how these weight loss, antiaging and other type of online clinics are prescribing prescription medications to patients who are never physically examined by the prescribing practitioner? All they do is fill out an onli...

Salary is going to be difficult to pin down as it ranges based on experience. I've seen it pays the same as regular nursing jobs, not more. You do get tips from customers sometimes. I have been both an RN and ARNP in aesthetics making $30/hr as an...

I am contemplating getting into research, going back for my PhD. However, what sort of job can I get with this degree? I'm leaning more towards research for general areas of medicine/health rather than focused on nursing related research. For exam...

I am also in S. FL. Graduated May 2009. Most of my classmates that got NP jobs were RNs in the same hospital department and most in a very specialized area like pediatric neuro. They had been RNs in these jobs for years and were able to stay on as...

I am a new nurse practitioner with zero wound care experience. I interviewed for a job last week and was offered $40 per visit with no other benefits, up to 5 visits per day, 4 days a week. No gas reimbursement, no ceu, no medical ins, no 401k, not...

I live in south FL, it took me 8 months to get a part time job here in a field I had RN experience in. I started part time and when one of the other part time NPs quit I was able to go almost full time and currently work 30-35hrs/week only. My frie...

I think a career path leading to being the chief nursing officer would suit my personality and would love to eventually peak in my career running the nursing side of an entire hospital. I have my MSN and a decade's worth of experience starting my own...

Thanks for the advice. I've been interviewing for administrative/management positions outside of the hospital setting (home health, agencies, health ins companies) but no offers as of yet. I am finding that they want the MSN plus either experience ...

I currently work in aesthetics/cosmetics part time. Not the typical ARNP job. We also are getting into weight loss and anti-aging, bioidentical hormones..

I would not go into nursing if you have worked your way up in your current position. I'd focus instead on how to make my current job better before I went and took a pay cut and jumped into a field I knew nothing about. The grass is NOT always green...

Take the job. Unless you have offers and lots of interviews take the job. It's next to impossible for new grad NPs to get jobs in this economy and you need to start working as an NP in any capacity. It does not sound like the drug dealing type of ...

I'm a new nurse practitioner and I've been invited to interview with an outpatient detox group that uses Suboxone and other meds to detox pts. This would be my first full time NP job. I have grown up with drug addicts and have sibilings and relatives...

I was looking into doing some travel or temporary work since I have been unable to find a job in my area as a new grad. I'm actually signing up with a company in December to do home health assessments for medicare, but was looking into other "visiti...

It was to do medicare home advantage visits where I would perform a h&p, chart review, kind of like case management stuff. It would be about an hour per visit. I was paid $65/visit as a 1099 contractor. The position I took was 3 hrs from my ho...

I think what the physicians are talking about is that with universal coverage millions of more providers are going to instantly be needed because millions of more people will be insured. With less and less family docs it's safe to assume NPs/PAs wil...

So the deal offered is to see elderly pts in the home, ALF, rehab centers, etc basically driving around doing quick home visits. Schedule is whatever I want it to be. The job would be as a 1099 contractor for 60% of collections. The average visit ...

A new grad at any level is going to face a very hard market. I am a new grad nurse practitoner and after looking and applying to jobs every day, hundreds of jobs, I just last week got a part time job. Now I just need to get another one to make full...

It's not you or anything you did or didn't do, it's the economy. I graduated May 09, got licensed in Sept 09, have been applying to job after job for at least 4 monts with no calls, no interviews, nothing. I was just recently last week able to get a...
