  1. This is how much ER doctors are making

    goofeegirl replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know an internal medicine doctor who makes $180/hr and works two jobs. He's killing it with the salary. They worked hard to get to where they are and should probably make some money to pay back...

  2. Licensure in another state after contract completion

    goofeegirl replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow. 3 months is nothing! I'm on a 4 year contract! I might have to consider moving to CO if that's the only requirement because I can't go through this

  3. Licensure in another state after contract completion

    goofeegirl replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do you know for sure that Colorado only places nurses on a 3 month consent? If so, I might consider moving

  4. Brandman University DNP

    goofeegirl replied to jrmcdoug2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks! I keep thinking about it and am not sure how I'm going to pull this off. The 225 clinical hours is going to be tough to do on the weekends and complete in 8 weeks. I need to work full time to...

  5. Brandman University DNP

    goofeegirl replied to jrmcdoug2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    After looking over this thread I went ahead and applied for the PM DNP program in Psych. I don't know how I'll do it with the immersion clinics since I just started a new job and would not be able to...

  6. Licensure in another state after contract completion

    goofeegirl replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I asked the same question because I'd like to move up north after my consent is over but honestly the only way to go about it is to call the BON. Hopefully, though, someone here will have an answer...

  7. initial license question

    goofeegirl replied to JSlovex2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's great that this person had intentions of being "rehabilitated" but there is no such thing. The first 5 years are considered the most critical to recovery in the eye of many BONs and their...

  8. when is it ok to bring up....

    goofeegirl replied to nitasarn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in Atlanta and your low and high rates are very appropriate for a new grad. I got a job straight out of NP school with no call, no weekends and it fell right in that range. I now make much more...

  9. when is it ok to bring up....

    goofeegirl replied to nitasarn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh, San Francisco. I see why you're getting the good salaries. Speaking of NYC, I was suprised to see how low the salaries were. I was thinking of relocating but the quotes were the same I'm making...

  10. What's your specialty?

    goofeegirl replied to goofeegirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. What's your specialty?

    goofeegirl posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  12. What's your specialty?

    goofeegirl replied to goofeegirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I lucked out with the first job by simply applying and getting chosen from the other applicants to be the NP for the practice. I learned trigger points and joint injections one weekend and only...

  13. A question for NP's - What if our school preceptorship isn't so great?

    goofeegirl replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that the preceptor saying that you won't learn "the real deal" until out of school is faulty. I was lucky to have preceptors who would make me see all the patients and experience the true...

  14. Missed Call-ins

    goofeegirl replied to bashley81's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I missed a check in once and was called to take a test immediately. I never missed another one after that. If paying for an extra screen is the punishment then I won't do that again. I know that's not...

  15. Why NP and not doctor?

    goofeegirl replied to Enigmatik's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I ended up back in school in my 30s and just didn't think the time commitment was worth the expense so I went to nursing school then FNP school. I'm happy where I'm at now that I see the demands on...

  16. A Day In The Life Of A NP?

    goofeegirl replied to Enigmatik's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  17. What's your specialty?

    goofeegirl replied to goofeegirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Curious to see what path everyone took after graduate school. We FNPs in my class were groomed to work specifically in a family practice or remote clinic and I didn't take that road. I specialized and...

  19. Preparation for AANP exam

    goofeegirl replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, you just have to have graduated from an accreditated school to take the boards and completed the pre-requisite number of clinical hours. What happened that you finished so long ago but didn't take...

  20. Admission Essay for Grad School

    goofeegirl replied to mpolen6497's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A long time ago I was at the library looking at a book on essays for medical school thinking I wanted to become a MD. From that book I got great ideas on creative writing and ways to stand out from...

  21. A Day In The Life Of A NP?

    goofeegirl replied to Enigmatik's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Heh. You wouldn't want to hear what I do all day. Mostly I sit around reading a book until a patient comes in then I go back to reading said book. I don't know how long I can manage

  25. Ending consent early

    goofeegirl replied to goofeegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm a NP and the job is only open on day shifts. It's hard finding a night shift job in my area for NPs. I've applied to a few and my consent/alcoholism was an issue so I stick with the job that I...
