Hi All, I am an FNP and have an opportunity to work with a family practice that also has rounding privileges in the hospital. I would be rounding 20% of the time. I will verify this question officially with the NJ BON but am also seeking more immedi...

Recent grad here... Due to other work committments I won't be applying for jobs for about 4 months. I have already passed my boards, so do I apply for my own NPI number now, on my own, or do I wait until I have been hired and sort that out then alone...

That is my concern. I would like to wait until I am hired, but I'm not sure if this will be the kind of thing they will expect to to have done on my own.

I'm an FNP grad and am not able to start working until early next year due to work commitments as an RN. I like to be prepared when the time comes to apply for FNP jobs, of course. When the time comes to apply for various positions, will I simply nee...

That's helpful. Did you simply need to list contact information for 3+ references, or did anyone request written letters?

As a student I was at a practice with a few NPs and one PA. I happened to know PA was paid higher than the NPs because he disclosed his salary. He shrugged his shoulders and said, well, its because I'm a PA and they are NPs, and its just a fact that ...

I know this has been a thread before, but let's have an updated conversation now that we are in 2017. I am posting this as I am a soon-to-graduate NP student and because I am a female. Nursing is still a female-dominated profession and I would like t...

How many hours a week do you work on average? How did you find your current job? TIA

Great discussion so far. Here is a reminder of the original purpose of this post: City/State: Years in current position: Salary: How many hours you work: Benefits: Bonus: Negotiation tips?!

Right, so she "only" earns $81,000 a year but she does not work 40 hours a week...she doesn't work full-time. You are saying if she worked full time with her hourly rate she would earn $160,000, right? Is she also in the Psych specialty, JulesA? TIA

Hence the purpose of this thread! I think all of this information is incredibly helpful.

Hi Sailrmar9, what is your specialty? Also, are you in a hospital or clinic?

Thanks for posting. This is a good example why salary sites (even the good ones) are not always helpful when determining asking salary!

I've researched NP salaries in this region (and others) already. I've looked at salary.com, Bureau of Labor Statistics, glassdoor, etc. Like Jules A said, that's only so helpful. I think it is more productive to hear professionals dialogue specifical...

Thanks for getting this conversation started. I completely agree that the gender disparity is real and that it is self-perpetuated. Many friends who have already graduated simply took the salary offered to them and did not negotiate because they "jus...

Hi there, I need to submit my letter of resignation in the next three days. I will be submitting the letter with two weeks notice exactly as I am starting a new RN position. It's a holiday week and I heard that my manager will be out all week, even i...

Hi there! I'm interested to hear feedback from anyone who is working or who has worked at Cooper University Hospital in NJ. I'm very interested in working there but seem to have a difficult time finding information about the climate for employees. I ...

I will be starting a new job, night shift 11pm to 7am. I've never worked night shift before and have two very small babies at home. It seems like most folks who work night shift go to sleep right when they get home or within an hour of that, but I wo...

Hi All, I'm currently in my first job search as an RN and have a strong lead for a mother/infant (postpartum) position, which I'm thrilled about! However, in the next few years I want to do some work as a pool nurse (I love the flexible and dynamic n...

Thanks that's helpful. Btw, did you mean the first professor or the 3rd, who was my A&P I prof.?

Hi, I'm currently preparing my application for local nursing schools, all of which are programs for an accelerated bachelors in nursing. All of the programs I'm applying to can be considered competitive, so I need my references to be as strong as pos...
