  1. Side hustle?

    steffyh posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey peeps! It's been a while, but as a 6 year NP, I'm looking into some side hustle gigs. I've been combing through the web for remote gigs, contract work, etc- anyone got anything good that pays...

  2. Urgent Care NP Compensation

    steffyh replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on where you live. To start you should get an idea what a RN with similar years of experience is making, then go up from there. I am a FNP w/ 3 years experience and interviewed at an UC...

  3. Is there a market for tele-NPs?

    steffyh replied to bstacy1313's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would totally love to do this! I think this is the next wave of innovation in medicine and think there's a market for it- why have sick people leave their home? Doctors use to do home visits and...

  4. Hourly pay in Virginia

    steffyh posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My husband and I are likley moving to northern VA for a job opportunity for him. I can transfer the current jobs I have, but am wondering what the hourly pay is for a Family NP w/ 2+ years of...

  5. Pregnant and asking pts to wear masks

    steffyh posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I just entered my 2nd trimester of pregnancy and am feeling good. My biggest frustration is having to ask people to wear a mask if they're sick or have a rash b/c of course they don't see any need....

  6. Speakers for drug companies

    steffyh replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you don't mind, how much is the compensation (you can PM me if you don't want to post it here). Also, do they give you any training to do the talks and do they make the slides? How do you handle...

  7. Getting my life back

    steffyh posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a FNP in my 2nd year of practice. My first year should have been great, but it was hell! Looking back on it, what really did me in was the lack of support I had, an unstable manager who was...

  8. Getting my life back

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

    I absolutely LOVE working for CVS. I'm not sure what websites say they don't approve vacation time, but that's not true, at least for the MC. Every day I've ever requested has been approved, except...

  9. In home assessments

    steffyh replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm starting this weekend w/ virtual (online) training, but as w/ any new job you get some nervous jitters until you're out on your own. I've already contacted another NP who works w/ the company...

  10. Uber NPs?

    steffyh posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    At work my day can vary from busy to slow, so on my slow days I take it upon myself to get up to date w/ what's going on in the medical community. I go to Medscape, the CDC, NYTimes Health page, and...

  11. Uber NPs?

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

    Strange it opened for me, but go to the nytimes.com site > health > well. You should be able to find "An Uber for Doctor Housecalls." Hopefully that works!

  12. That nagging feeling...

    steffyh replied to dudette10's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Many times! I worked pediatrics and saved 3 kids because of it (I hate saying that too b/c I don't want the credit for it b/c it was my job). I use to be a clinical instructor and remember telling my...

  13. School Culture - can we shift it? maybe a little?

    steffyh replied to CAdreamerRN's topic in School

    When I did sub school nursing, I swear an announcement was made the day before b/c I would be so busy with kids. I subbed in various schools across my town and there was no difference b/w the...

  14. Recertification process

    steffyh replied to Qka's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I took AANP b/c it was more clinical-based vs ANCC which will have more pics and research-related questions. I don't mind pics, but not the research-related questions. Plus since I would be practicing...

  15. About paying off student loans

    steffyh replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    You'll be happy to know you're not bailing me out b/c I can afford my payments. Good luck getting that fine print BTW. I did read mine, but as soon as I signed the dotted line, I got a "Change in loan...

  17. About paying off student loans

    steffyh replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    First- $75,000 is not a lot of money to raise 4 children and feed the 2 adults raising them. If you can do it, good for you, but my parents didn't have the money and they didn't have anything fancy,...

  18. About paying off student loans

    steffyh replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    First, I must say I'm the first in my family to go to college so I didn't have any advice about the difference b/w public and private colleges. Second, my guiance counselor was a complete dunce so...

  19. New Grad Job Offers Advice

    steffyh replied to newFNP2015's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would shadow and talk to other providers there to get a real sense of how they like it. Another consideration is how much you'd be bringing home, espeically if you're driving 2 hours/day- that can...

  20. Nursing Educator Salary

    steffyh replied to fbhopern's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Depends on the state. I was an adjunct clinical instructor here in NH while I was getting my MSN for FNP and made $50/hr doing it. I did it one day a week (Sat or Sun) for a full semester and made...

    steffyh replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  23. Getting Paid to Precept Students

    steffyh posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My friend recently sent me a link to a company called Clinical Match Me which says they can pay up to $10,000 to precept students. Anyone hear of this or know of other companies that will pay NPs to...
