You will also need to apply for your NPI #. This should be done prior to DEA# as it identifies you as a provider and allows you to prescribe nonscheduled legend medications.

This really depends.... Now with the push to lower rehospitalization rates, and many families with very unrealistic expectations it can be stressful if you are not good with boundaries. Some patient's/families treat you as there personal HCP that should be at their beck and call no matter what time day or night. "No my mom can't have an iron supplement it will make her constipated.... nevermind that medically she is iron deficient and it would dramatically help.... well Google said, oh and did you call her Dr..... Ms so and so I am the PCP who manages the medicine...... " The families can be truly exhausting.... I love it but you really have to have boundaries clearly stated.....

I had fantastic preceptors, but no leads from All Nurses. I reached out to all my local contacts and also did a lot of cold calls. However this was back in 2016/2017. Right now many practices are not taking students due to COVID (including mine). You may want to wait until this is all over...... Good Luck

I understand your concern and if I had to start working peds it would be a problem. However, is the alternative no work? I would want to know that before I made a fuss about a transfer. Unless I had other work opportunities I could go to....

Actually Georgia still can't write for schedule II at all.......

I work at a SNF and love it as well. The patients really appreciate the care and attention you give them. Lots of flexibility, and in no way am I working like a bedside nurse.

Very interesting and thanks for the info!

Look into practice fusion. It does all of what you are looking for.

I work in a 64 bed facility. We are a little different as we only have rehab (short term beds), no long term. I easily see 15-18 patients per day. I love my job and the autonomy that I have. Been doing this for 3 years.

I really think your best bet would be to contact a few CRNA schools you would be interested in applying to and talk to admissions directly. Anyone else would really just be guessing..... Good luck!

YEP!!! Atlanta is OLD SCHOOL!!!!

UMMM you are gonna have a hard time finding a "full time position" with benefits only working 3 10s or 4 8s. Maybe parttime..... good luck.

Very few NPs truly have an 8-5 M-F schedule no weekends, no holidays, no call. This is healthcare after all. That being said this is probably easier in the outpt setting. In the hospital it will vary. I know in my area, if you work for the hospital, most are 7 on 7 off with rotating holiday schedule. If you work for specialty and do hospital consults it will depend on the needs of the practice. Hope this helps. I do think many students think that NP will give them more days off and flexibility while paying more..... win win. The reality is you have much more responsibility which increases your workload, even if it is not physical hours, most are constantly "working/learning".

Well you are not getting a lot of answers..... I live in GA and I am an NP but not in women's health. From what I see you are going to have to network like crazy and be willing to drive. The alternative is to live out in the boonies where there are very few providers, however you may have trouble getting a collaborator out there. The state of Georgia is awesome in my opinion as far as cost of living and family life and things to do. Unfortunately it is still VERY "old boy network" in medical. I would highly encourage you to immediately get involved with local NP groups and begin to network. If you have experience I think you will get a job, however pay and role may be different then what your expectations are. Good Luck and welcome to GA!

I do not have personal experience however I have a couple of friends who attended Brenau. They liked the school and passed boards..... Good Luck!

I think you should do a search for this question as there will be many varied answers. Depending on where you are looking, some employers do "care" about your school. I always encourage students when in clinical to treat it as a job interview. Many places hire previous students.....They know you and you know them..... Good Luck!

Awesome!

Is it possible to save templates in an word document and then Cut and Paste into Allscript? This isn't ideal but it may help some....Good luck that sounds like a tough situation. Bobbi

I work in subacute rehab with an internal medicine group. We function very similar to hospitalist's

You may find working in sub acute rehab is what you like. This is what I do and it is a great balance between inpatient and outpatient. I manage chronic disease with some acute exacerbations all while allowing the patient to participate in rehab. No kids at my facility most are > 65 as medicare will pay 100% for the first 20 days. Good Luck and I agree with previous posters, if you don't want children or women's health, don't go the FNP route.

So Happy for you! I always enjoy reading your posts. Also the biggest factor is always attitude. If you think something is terrible it will be and vice versa.... Bobbi

I'm in Georgia and an FNP this is crazy as I make 6 figures I would NEVER do this for 40-45K Bobbi

This lady also has MULTIPLE fall risks that you have listed.... I'm sure you are familiar with the BEERS list as well??

Georgia is a very "who you know" state..... at least in Atlanta. Pay is all over the place. Also many hospitals are transitioning and requiring Acute Care to be in the hospital. Bobbi

As an FNP in Georgia (Atlanta area), MANY postings for jobs are very specific if they want an Acute NP or not. Many of the Atlanta hospitals are not hiring FNPs for inpatient care unless you have experience or were an NP prior to (I Think) 2015, (not sure where the date comes from, but I guess they think the training has changed since then). Also many job postings that involve hospital rounding with specialty are also requiring Acute certification. The good thing is..... if you don't want to work in a hospital this will not be a problem.... :) Good luck to you and make good contacts during all your clinical rotations. These will be very useful once you are job hunting. Bobbi
