I don’t need to watch gossip girls or pretty little liars. I can just come here.

I heard Nurse Practitioners that prescribe suboxone have a higher salary than average. Does any one know the structure of pay for prescribing suboxone? I live in Illinois.

As described by the post above, You can charge more if you open up your own business. Some employers offer percentage of cuts, which can also results in a higher salary.

I am wondering whether there is a system / software / website that tells you whether a symptom that the patient is experiencing is a side effect from a medication. Some of my geriatric patients are on 15+ medications. Instead of checking the side eff...

You are correct about both things. Department of transportation and buprenorphine license. Do I need to renew it every year or two just like my nursing licenses? If so, what do I need to do and where is that information located? Thank you for re...

Once you receive your DOT and SAMHSA licenses, what do you need to do to maintain those licenses? I tried looking for this information but could not find it.

I agree and that is why it was so weird for me. I did not get the job but even if they offered I still would have declined due to the manager’s behavior during the interview. If she is like this during the interview then while working she would be ...

When you apply somewhere, why do they ask you “have you applied at other places?” One employer who was interviewing me actually got mad at me when I said yes.

You can find IHS positions at usajobs.gov

Surgical first assist?

I have. Almost all the jobs are out of state. And I also tried contacting the companies that own the major telemedicine apps like amwell, hims & hers, etc. A lot of them do not hire Nurse Practitioners.

Every since the government has expanded telemedicine, I have been on the lookout for telemedicine jobs. However in my state I was only able to find two advertisements on job post websites. I did go to the website of many popular apps like Doctor’...

Illinois now has full practice authority with need to collaborate only for controlled substances. Yet, Nurse Practitioners can still only bill for 85% when compared to physicians. This part really gets to me. If we are diagnosing and treating the sa...

I usually ask questions here. But no matter where you ask, you will get harassed for asking questions just like in nursing school.

I see a lot of geriatrics patient with lower extremity swelling. A lot of them have chronic conditions which can cause swelling such as heart failure, kidney failure, and liver failure. However, if I want to find out whether it’s lymphedema, how ca...

Thank you so much for guiding me. I will research this PowerPoint you sent me in the link.

Also if they are living above sea level like on a mountain.

I agree with KatieMI

Consider this: Geriatric patient has a history of congestive heart failure with bilateral leg edema. They are on high dose of diuretic to relieve edema. Edema does not get better. How do I go on about figuring out whether the edema is from heart ...

Hello everyone, I live in Chicago, Illinois. I received a call from a recruiter who says I can get paid up to 130k + travel expense for coming home every 2 weeks and free lodging at the Indian Health Reservation. This is in North Dakota. Can anyo...

Yeah. If the guns don’t kill you in chicago, then a car accident will.

An issue that I’m facing is with the providers I’m working with and non-compliant patients. A few of the providers that I am working with have told me that if a patient is non-compliant and if there will be a projected complication such as a stroke...

Hello everyone, I am a fairly new nurse practitioner with only two years of experience. I recently got a job offer at a company that I really like. Although I agree with most contents of the contract, there is one part that I’m very cautious of. Plea...

Hello everyone, I did try to negotiate with the company. They state this is their standard contract and they are not willing to change for anyone. They also said people quitting has been an issue and this is why they have implemented this. So I d...

Likes are that you are not in the office. Only one patient at a time. If pay is per patient, you can choose how much you want to work. Dislikes: having a bad MA - then you are stuck with them in the car. Most of the patient are very complex. H...
