Dumplins MSN, RN, APN

Hi! I worked with a cardiologist for about 2 years. It was my first job out of graduate school. I had Tele experience as an RN so I'm sure that helped a bit. He pretty much trained me and told me everything I needed to know and was always a phonecall...

Hello everyone, So I wanted to get other NP's opinion on this potential job offer. So I just got finished with an interview for a Dermatology NP position. The interview went great, where he pretty much said I'd get the job as long as I accepted. Some...

I agree with everyone else. It seems as if you have a great support system. Better than most. I know many people in my program went through similar situations and they made it out ok. Most of them sticking to Part Time for school.

NJ =)

I'm a new graduate and just started officially training with him on 4/18/16. I had about 2 weeks of training of shadowing him and seeing patients in the office. I'd then round with him at the hospitals and found it to be quite easy. Most of what we a...

I agree, you should definitely be reaching out directly to doctor's via email or in person. I try to search to see if the office has a website and an email address. In that, I write a nice cover letter and attach my resume. In person visit to drop o...

Yes I agree with the others. If you're in a very saturated area, it'll be very difficult. Where are you located? I'm in the NJ/NY area. It can get pretty competitive, but there are definitely new grad openings from time to time. I'd look to relocate...

My experience as an RN helped me land my interview for a Cardiology NP position. So I'd say it definitely helps. Especially as a new graduate, you need all the experience you could get.

I just started a position as a new grad FNP with a Cardiologist. I was a Telemetry Nurse for 3 years so I think that helped. Otherwise i'm sure they'd prefer an Acute Care NP. So far it has been great and I'm learning a lot. My day pretty much consis...

Hello everyone! I'm stuck choosing between two job offers that seem fairly even to me. I was curious as to which one you guys would choose/recommend. Endocrine NP - This job would be at an outpatient facility that is affiliated with the nearby hospit...

Thanks for all of your suggestions! Sorry I didn't get to reply to this sooner. I ended up going with the Cardiology offer because of my gut. It was more because the field of Cardiology is a lot less specific than Endocrinology and I figured it would...

dont choose a specialty due to demand. choose one that you love! specialty demand will change from time to time and from location to location. i think overall, psych is currently ruling in demand. and it's also one of the higher paying specialties. ...

it's hard to tell you where to go from here with little information. i think a good first step is to see what areas you lack in first and brush up on those. from your study routine, it seems clear that you've done ample amounts of questions as well ...

I am currently in a job hunt for a Derm NP position. I know it'll vary from geographic location, but I can touch on how it is over here in New Jersey. There is a fairly even mix of New Grad derm jobs and experience derm jobs. The majority of Derm pra...

I would say B and continue looking while at Job B. Unless there's some sort of long term contract. Because you have a husband, it is important to take his wants/needs into consideration. If you have more money from job A, it'll be balanced out by you...

Thanks for everyone's input. I decided to not go with the position. For the main reason that the 4 year commitment was way too long and the fact that I didn't need to go into Derm 100000%. I am a new grad and pretty flexible with what specialty to go...

Salaries are going to vary. You're comparing RN's from different specialties with different levels of experience vs NP's with different specialties with different levels of experience. On a broad spectrum, RN's can make $50-90k. They may even get int...

Yes @NJprisonRN it's DermOne. The reviews I've read about them aren't amazing... Have you heard anything about them?

The training would be me shadowing one of their NPs for 4/5 days. The 5th day would be me meeting with the MD and going over things. The readings would be throughout the week and to be done on my own. The commitment is 4 years unfortunately...I suppo...

I've interviewed at a few FQHC facilities. I've seen them range from really crappy facilities to fairly higher end facilities (the majority were pretty run down). As a new grad, most of them offered low to mid 80k salary (typical salary range for new...

New grad psych NP's in NJ make $90-110k as a new grad. At least that's what I'm seeing on Job Listings. A typical NJ range for new grad NP's range anywhere from $75-100k depending on specialty.

Also if it helps, he mentioned $1000 towards CME, 4 weeks vacation, and malpractice coverage. Health insurance was mentioned but he did not know the details of it. Unsure about 401k.

I would say it's more geographic as well. Most corporate facilities will definitely call your references to have you checked out, so make sure your references will give you high reviews. The private practices I've had interviews with did not even t...

Yes, definitely finish the preceptorship. Learn as much as you can and maybe the preceptorship will give you confidence in your ability. It's hard to tell if your lack of motivation is due to fear or if it's because you really don't like the NP role....

There are many factors that can contribute to this. Overall...on average, an NP will make more than an RN. The examples that you are probably hearing about are the RN's that have been a nurse for 10 years in the ICU and get night shift differential. ...
