  1. FNP Made to Work Alone?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to AnaLong's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would leave. Sounds like a recipe for

  2. New NP pay

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    How many hours a week are you working for $67/hr as a staff RN? If more than 40 hrs a week, you won't be taking a pay cut, that is, if you negotiate. As a new grad last year, I made $125K in CA, 2...

  3. EKU PMHNP FALL 2017

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Felicia3277's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP, or others, can you provide a status update on how the pmhnp program was for

  4. Accidental Mistake- UGH

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Fnp9090's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Happened to me as well. I ended up having to go in person to get it straightened out. Edit: oops, I've already replied to this

  5. California BRN processing times for new grad NP

    ToFNPandBeyond posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There was an old post regarding this topic that I'd like to revive/revise. For those new grads who plan to practice in California and are awaititing the oh so very slow processing for California BRN...

  6. NP still working as a bedside nurse on the side...

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't know what an "SJW" is, but as another person of color, I would then expect more from you... Rather than get defensive, maybe take a step back and do some introspection. Your comment was...

  7. NP still working as a bedside nurse on the side...

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    I had to *side eye* this comment. I'm sure those "inner city" folks wouldn't appreciate it if their concerns were looked at as something of excitement for those bored providers looking for a little...

  8. Psychiatry question - Must I provide Therapy too?

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

    Do you have behavioral therapists where you're at? Me personally, other than light motivational interviewing, I'm not all that into providing therapy. I don't believe our education really focuses...

  9. Cert or not to Cert

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to QEOLAdvocate's topic in Advanced Practice

    In California, you'll get compensated very well. Not sure what the avg salary for psych NP is in your area specifically, but in the bay area, I've seen several job post for $180k+. In the capital,...

  10. Does it matter where I get my MSN-FNP?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to allstarnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I beg to differ. I went to the 4th ranked school in the nation for nursing (Second in medical), and it didn't mean squat to most employers who valued experience over brand. Experience will more likely...

  11. Does it matter where I get my MSN-FNP?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to allstarnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, they don't care. All you need to care about is if the school is accredited and their passing rate regarding licensing

  12. Unhappy and stressed as NP- seeking advice.

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to hm0225's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Rural would be worse. You're often the only provider in a several mile radius, and geriatric care usually involves various co-morbidities. Wouldn't recommend for

  13. I am looking for another NP job. How do I ask about the financial health of organizations?

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

    I agree, and I would take it a step further to say that in this day and age, you can't rely on just having one job. Let's face it, there is no loyalty on both sides of the equation. Employers are...

  14. Are we intervening too much?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to NovaFNP22's topic in Advanced Practice

    I was informed by my medical assistant that a doctor she works for still does pap screens on his patients ONCE A YEAR, regardless of results! 'Nuff

  15. Unhappy and stressed as NP- seeking advice.

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to hm0225's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agree with Oldmanhubbard, I work in psych private practice and most of my patients are high functioning. Most common diagnoses are MDD and anxiety, followed by bipolar and ADHD. Like in many...

  16. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

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

    I think it comes off as bitter when professionals try to take jabs at one's earnings by stating things like "I'd never want to live in Ca" or other disparaging remarks to mask their own insecurity,...

  17. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

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

    Not true. Many parts of Sacramento are very affordable. I can

  18. I am looking for another NP job. How do I ask about the financial health of organizations?

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

    Oh wow, Fullglass! I've been following your NP journey since you passed your boards. I'm sorry to hear of your unfortunate experiences. But as you said, there was a silver lining in all of this from...

  22. HOW TO PASS THE AANP EXAM (HONEST OPINION!)

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Jasmine19's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Moderators, this should be in the student NP forums. Are you all still moderating

  23. Job Search At Age 61 After 2 1/2 Year Hiatus??

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to squinky12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Have you tried contacting recruiters in your area? I would also be on the lookout for healthcare job fairs. Create a professional portfolio that contains not just your CV, but letters of...

  24. PMHNP Salary in So Cal

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to PMHNP2023's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I realized you said central coast and not San Diego, but you get the gist. It's still a poor offer. Especially since employers will try to lure you with a higher paying position in areas in desperate...

  25. PMHNP Salary in So Cal

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to PMHNP2023's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Very poor for California, especially a known metropolitan area like San Diego. The avg I've seen in areas like the bay area and the capital (the capital having a lower COL than San Diego) is $168K....
