  1. Negotiating a salary increase based on production

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

    I don't think you've included ALL factors into your equation... From what you've calculated, you will need to subtract what the practice ACTUALLY collects from insurance companies who pay. Some don't...

  2. Choosing PMHNP program

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to FuturePMHNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just finished applying last week. By far the easiest application process ever....a little too easy you ask me, lol? No essays, no letters of rec. Took my minutes to apply (apart from handling...

  4. Questioning a new job

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to FNP8145's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Update: it should be noted that if you are primarily responsible for treating more complex mood disorders, like uncontrolled bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, this should be managed by a PMHNP or...

  5. Questioning a new job

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to FNP8145's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would disagree that you can't work in psych.... It really all depends. When you were working in primary care, how often were you treating psych issues? What did you typically treat? What was your...

    So helpful! Thank

  7. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Msmedic68w's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for your reply! So should I assume we are free to choose whatever population we want to complete out clinical hours? For example, could I do all geriatrics (aside from the required 80 hours for...

  8. Choosing PMHNP program

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to FuturePMHNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How are the courses and exams for Wilkes? How's faculty support? Are you required to do a certain amount of hours per population for clinicals? Has anyone taken their boards? Did you feel the program...

  9. Wilkes University NP Programs

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to FuturePMHNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP, did you end up going to wilkes? If so, how was it? I'm ialsonconsidering EKU and would love to hear of your experience there as well if you

  10. Wilkes University

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to KianaSimone's topic in School, College Programs

    Any updates OP or any other person who's in the psych program? Please don't be like others and not contribute??... How are the courses and exams? How's faculty support? Are you required to do a...

  11. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Msmedic68w's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For those who were accepted, in your welcome packets regarding clinicals, does it specify the specific breakdown of hours by population group (i.e. geriatrics vs peds, etc.) I'm inquiring for the post...

  12. Frontier PMHNP

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to studentrn1013's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can anyone who is doing the post masters pmhnp program provide an update on here of how the coursework and clinicals are? Is it doable to work full or even part time during the program? How receptor...

  14. 5 8s, no thanks!

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

    I don't think what you are asking for I unreasonable. There are some places that will allow you to work 4 tens. So long as they have the staff (and hours of operation) to cover. Inquire about it...

  15. Post-Masters help

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to FNP2002's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, it could've been about your race, or the fact that you made more than her, or both. We don't know, but the struggle is real and as a person of color, we can't help but to factor these things...

  16. Pursuing FNP as a psychiatric RN

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to distantmiao's topic in Advanced Practice

    What setting do you want to work in as an NP? If it's acute care, why not become an acute care NP? You have ample experience so you'll have a better chance at getting

  17. What's the least saturated specialty in APRN?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to soljhs's topic in Advanced Practice

    Agreed. Pmhnp are usually in high demand d/t shortages. This seems to be the case in both rural and urban

  18. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    There is the rule, and then there is the exception... I live in California and I have to say that I agree with Myoglobin. Although the pay is great, the state income tax is INSANE! We are also a very...

  19. Board of Nursing Complaint

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just want to provide you virtual support❤. I am sorry you are facing this. Definitely a wake up call for us

  20. New Grad FNP offer

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

    You will get a mix bag of responses regarding this. I am an FNP who works in both an outpatient psych private practice (my main bread and butter job) as well as a family practice (side hustle). I will...

  21. Prescribing new medications?

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

    You're right. I believe it's either the JNC-8 or AHA/ACC that recommend target doses based on studies as opposed to max doses. I typically try not to go for absolute max, but rather aim for target...

  22. Critical care RN to PMHNP, am I crazy? Looking for advice

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to ScottMedicRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I disagree with this recommendation. Umbdude, I see your credentials state BSN,RN, so I will assume you are not privy to the education APRNs receive. NPs, and even Psych NPs do not have enough...

  23. Prescribing new medications?

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

    The JNC-8 guidelines explain this in detail. In general, it's best to "start low and go slow" with meds. I usually start with monotherapy on one med when treating HTN, and start low (if not severely...

  24. Telemedicine in NP role

  25. FNP Made to Work Alone?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to AnaLong's topic in Advanced Practice

    No, you're not crazy. No, it's not unreasonable. You went into hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt (I'm assuming) so that you can do higher functioning healthcare, not to do the tasks that should...
