Hi All, After 1 year as a MA, 3 years as an RN and going on 3 years as an NP, I am considering the next move in my career. I know many may criticize the idea that i keep changing careers, but i am 31 with no strings, i figure this is the best time in...

So glad to know that I am not alone on this. I joined the public health association just to see whats out there. I saw a recent study that says obtaining an MPH doesn't equal increased pay if you enter public health with any other type of master's ...

any tips on how to break into that arena or even ideas for building the skills for writing?

This has been a issue for many years in middle Tennessee. Hard to get a job and if you secure a job the pay is below AVG. The Nashville metro area has a lot of NP programs plus a PA program, plus medical schools feeding into the area making it diffic...

I graduated two years ago with my Adult Gero Primary Care cert and i work as outpatient cardiology NP. It was my goal when i started my NP program. During my NP clinicals i specifically requested cardiology rotations or internal med rotations. My en...

Hi All, i just wanted to get everyone's opinion regarding participating in a practice that does not allow me to bill. Heres the story... So I work in an independent practice state. I work in an outpatient clinic for a specialty clinic at a hospital. ...

Thank you.

I am not sure how this commentary fits into my original question or fits into the narrative that follows.

Thank you all for a perspective i didn't know existed. I learned something new today. In thinking about the practices of the four physicians I work with, i think they are skirting the medicare fraud line, as in doing just enough to prove that its no...

Well, i can't speak for the inpatient side of things, but the MDs see the patient after me in the outpatient setting. I have 90% committed to leaving after my one year is up in September, but being that I am still novice NP, would like to know if thi...

1st year New Grad- Outpatient Cardiology 94K in VA, 40 hours/wk with 20 PTO days, 1500 CME 2yr, 2nd job Outpatient Cardiology 95k in DC,40 hours/wk 20 PTO, 3000 CME

This may be a lengthy post, i apologize in advance. I graduated and received my AGPCNP certification September 2016. At that time i lived in a saturated market so I applied out of state for a job. I immediately got an interview for a job 1 day after...

Hey guys, I am about to graduate from my AGPCNP program in less than 30 days. Currently I live in a TN, which is very competitive when it comes to getting a job as a new grad NP, and I am also at a point in my life where I'm just ready for a change i...

Well, interesting twist of things.i ended up taking a job in Northern Va. It is a cardiology position and i wanted the specialty job more than i wanted to move to Texas...so here i am!

Hey guys this question is for ACNPs, and FNP/AGPCNP... I will be taking my AGPCNP boards this week but i started looking for jobs about a month or so ago. I would like to work in an outpatient cardiology clinic. I have 3 years of ICU cardiovascular s...

Thank you for your input. I am finding more job listings in Dallas than Houston, but still no calls back. I think that might change after I pass boards. I would like to do cardiology since that is my RN background, but also interested in internal med...

I picked Houston because I've heard that it is a diverse and fun city. It would be a very welcome change. I will be visiting there next month, but just wanted to know how the job market looks and how difficult it would be to find a job.

Yep!! Are you!?

I am in for AGPCNP!

From what I've heard if you are a direct entry student, the GRE is a formality. Way I see it, I'm a BSN nurse, what is knowing irrelevant high school level stuff gonna do for my Master's of Nursing degree compared to my clinical experience? NOTHING. ...

DO YOU! The interview is about your personality and your skill set, not your hair. If they don't like your hair in box braids, you probably don't want to work with them anyway. Foreshadowing for many issues that could arise! I big chopped immediately...

I don't think that is a bad idea actually. Showing that you have ideas that are worth questioning could demonstrate your ability to think at a graduate level. You have to stand out I'm sure they are reading well over 200 applications. Think positive....

If I can remember correctly, the question was explicitly asked during one of the breakout sessions. Probably from someone who reads these boards a lot hahaha! I must admit even knowing the process made writing the interview responses difficult becaus...

At the Open house, the admissions staff explained the review process. An application can go through different processes depending on the program and the strength of your application. All applications go through admissions committee, then the director...

I am originally from Nashville- Hermitage/Antioch/Smyrna are about 20mins from campus granted youre not traveling into Nashville during rush hour (0645-815), then you'd have to allow an extra hour.
