What is your reimbursement for being on call via telephone after clinic hours to answer questions and advise patients? Thank you.[EVIL][EVIL][/EVIL][/EVIL]

$500.00 to $1,000.00 per month should be sufficient. Without chart review I would lean more > $500.00.

I would advise becoming a FNP. The options are numerous. I have done ED, Urgent Care, Corrections and Psychiatric. I have never faced barriers to practice.

I require the staff at my facility to address all of the NP's as "nurse practitioner_______." I also introduce myself in the same manner to my patients. I feel that this technique is valuable because my patients immediately know who and what I am. I don't have to waste valuable diagnostic time explaining that I am not a physician. Nurse practitioners often remain in the shadows with no identity because patients either think that the NP is a physician or a floor nurse. When one identifies himself immediately as a NP it provides ample opportunity to educate the pt on the profession and the benefits of being seen by a NP. No identity crisis here....I want my patients to know exactly who is providing their healthcare.
