  1. Would you recommend National University Post-MSN PMHNP program?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to ToFNPandBeyond's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, ended up applying for and getting into

  2. PMHNP practice

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to IDNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We've been using doxy.me and it has been super user-friendly. It's simple to set up an account for providers. From there, your MA can send the link to patients and they type their names and are good...

  3. Wilkes postgraduate PMHNP program fall 2020

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to ToFNPandBeyond's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I hope the tuition is that cheap! I'll be paying

  4. Can my job make me change departments?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Booboobear89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't see how this would be illegal.... Not wise, probably, seeing you have scant adult care experience, but you are an FNP, and so therefore, well within your scope of practice and educational...

  5. Is it inappropriate to reach out to the CEO?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to missdeevah's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would reach out afterwards with a standard thank you statement, thanking him for the opportunity to interview. Those final touches after an interview can set you apart from others. I wouldn't,...

  6. Wilkes postgraduate PMHNP program fall 2020

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to ToFNPandBeyond's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was notified about 2 weeks ago. I applied back in Nov 2019. When I had asked when decisions would be made, they said the month of March. I admisiikn with this pandemic, notifications for a...

  7. NP salary California's Central Coast

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to NurseTiaPCCN's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's insane. They're literally a paycheck away from homelessness living in the bay with those low

  8. NP salary California's Central Coast

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to NurseTiaPCCN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Even $140K to work in primary care in San Diego is great! You won't even see that in many parts of the bay area, including SF where I have many colleagues working for under $100K in primary care. You...

  9. NP salary California's Central Coast

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to NurseTiaPCCN's topic in Advanced Practice

    What's your

  10. What can I do with my MSN-FNP that doesn't require much patient contact

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I completely agree and see absolutely nothing wrong with this statement. Or at minimum, if one speciality doesnt work out, consider a diff specialty. But to state you don't want to do any patient...

  11. Biased opinion for own child?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to IMNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Based on how you've described things, sounds more psychosocial than anything... How is she doing in school? How are her grades? Does she complain of bullying, etc. Sounds like a cry for help more than...

  12. Starting 2020 NO MORE LOCUMS IN CALIFORNIA

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also have a colleague who works 1099 as an NP in

  13. Concentration dilemma

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to BHrn's topic in Advanced Practice

    Is being in your "comfort zone" something you'll be passionate about in 1 year, 5 years, 10, or even now?! Ultimately no one can decide this for you. Generally speaking, I like to do what I'm excited...

  14. Working and Clinicals

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Toast&Butters's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are so many factors to consider (home life, commute, etc.), but generally speaking, it is possible to work part time while completing clinicals, but you need a flexible job. Additionally, you'll...

  15. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    This whole "oversaturated" argument is becoming tired IMHO... For the love of Goddess, nurses, if you want to get into the field of nursing and specialize with your advanced practice degree because...

  16. Promising Job Prospect

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Mr. Southern NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wear a suit. You're applying for a professional

  17. California NPs - trouble with finding "the" job?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to amalay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with ArmaniX, you've got to interview back! My rule of them is I never start a position where an MD has no idea what an NP does, or you're the first NP to ever work that position, etc. You're...

  18. Good NP jobs

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Liz Crotty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I find this post way too vague. Are you an NP? As the poster previously mentioned, stress and "good" NP job is subjective. Let's start with your specialty (assuming you are an NP). What is your...

  19. Is Southern California affordable on a psych NP salary?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to ForensicPMHNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Psych NPs are one of the highest paid NP specialties. I've lived around California, and know of colleagues who live quite comfortably on their NP salaries making less than psych NPs in that

  20. Psych NPs working in California, what is your salary?

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

    Thanks for your reply! Was this

  21. PMHNP/PSYCH NP

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Success2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Some of these responses make me chuckle...? I don't believe you need to work inpatient to know if you really want to work psych. I never wanted to work inpatient. I currently work outpatient where...

  22. Let’s talk numbers and visit frequency

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ah...working in primary care can feel like taking you're taking two steps forward, one step back. Or putting out fires with a garden hose...Somehow, it just never seems like you're doing enough. It's...

  23. Can't decide between Maryville, Walden or La Salle Nurse practitioner programs

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to LJewelsAPN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well D@mn! That sounds a bit discriminatory. I wouldn't parade that concept to the masses like it's a badge of honor. Not all online schools are bad. Of course you have to use discernment to weed out...

  24. Job offer. Urgent care

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to aerorunner80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The real question is, how do YOU feel about it? For some, the pay and benefits may seem slim (personally I think if you're going to be working a high intensity environment, seeing 3 patients an hour...

  25. Diversion investigation

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to srnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, that is insane! I am sorry you are going through
