No, ended up applying for and getting into Wilkes

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 to go. So far, insurances have been lenient regardi...

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

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 training to care for the adult population. They could ...

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, however, continue to bother him after sending a brief t...

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 acceptance will be delayed... I'm down for starting an FB t...

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

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 have nothing to worry about.

What's your specialty?

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 care - I mean, what were you expecting? Do your homew...

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 anything. Personally, I wouldnt take her to her p...

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

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 to do. I also worked in primary care for about 7 m...

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 likely need not work more than 10 hours/week to d...

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 you are passionate about it, DO IT! Stop using the e...

Wear a suit. You're applying for a professional position.

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 essentially their "Guinea pig "until they learn ab...

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 specialty? Do you plan to work within your specialty. I...

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 area.

Thanks for your reply! Was this outpatient?

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 majority of my patients are stable. The ones who are ...

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 why I left it almost entirely. But I've read your...

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 the legit, accredited programs with the poor perfo...

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 give or take, as a new grad, and working 11 hour da...

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