  1. How bad do I want it?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Power2020's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ^^ be mindful though that even if they pay for your malpractice, you should ALWAYS pay for your own insurance. The business at the end of the day is looking after their own interest. Certain loopholes...

  2. How bad do I want it?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Power2020's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What state do you live in? $100K doesn't go far after taxes, trust me, and I asked for more... How I see it, you don't really have options as you have a possible "interview " not a job offer. If...

  3. What made your first year of NP difficult?

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

    I'll respond to both your and my original question as I'm nearing 6 mos in primary care as an FNP. I started seeing a full panel of patient in 2 mos, which was quicker than what we had negotiated....

  4. Do not understand scheduling issue

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't have a whole lot of experience working as an NP, but from what I've experienced and what I know from colleagues, this behavior is not normal. You should not have to take a hit because she has...

    ToFNPandBeyond posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I promised myself I would contribute to this thread if I passed my boards. Like many of you, I have lurked through these threads hundreds of times trying to piece together the best information that I...

  7. CDC Data Shows Strong Relationship Between MMR Vaccine and Autism

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to familymrl3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hmm I wouldn't be so quick to generalize the argument that black women having more children is the reason why they are being diagnosed more than whites. Research shows us that black children are often...

  8. What was your training like as a new grad NP?

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

    I'm within my 90 days and like you, was freaking out thinking I wouldn't know anything or would need hand-holding before I dove in the deep end. I work in primary care at a community clinic with 3...

  9. What is your on-boarding experience?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to aok7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can somewhat empathize. I started roughly a couple months ago and was told my onboarding would be 6 months. My supervising physician is only on site a couple of times a week. She is however...

  10. Survival guide for women of color

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to dinah77's topic in Ob/Gyn

  13. Racial Discrimination in the Nursing Profession

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to MasterStreet's topic in General Nursing

    Let's be very clear pro-student, not EVERY minority claims racism when they don't get their way. The OP listed ONE experience she went through where she felt race was at play. She never said that...

  14. What made your first year of NP difficult?

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

    Can we revive this thread

  15. Any regret taking NHSC loan repayment?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to Lkat's topic in Advanced Practice

    I can only speak for myself, but I know I WOULD HAVE regretted my decision to accept my nurse corps award if I had signed on the dotted line. I applied twice and the second time was a charm. But when...

  16. NP Salary

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to nbtw's topic in Advanced Practice

    Unfortunate, and frustrating... NPs, whether new or seasoned, should understand the market rate for NPs. They should also consult with colleagues and be honest with what they are making so we know...

  20. Will my natural hair prevent me from getting a job in the future?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to cinderfloof's topic in General Students

    I find it interesting that you are giving an opinion regarding how she should "play it safe" and "conservative" in styling her hair in a way that is not "distracting". Although there are many...

  21. Will my natural hair prevent me from getting a job in the future?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to cinderfloof's topic in General Students

    As a nurse who, too, has rocked a fro, braids, and now locs, while nursing, it's not the hairstyle so much that will prevent you from getting employed, it's your confidence/ professionalism/their own...

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