  2. NPI help

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to rnBSN223's topic in Advanced Practice

    This isn't accurate, at least not in my state. I was encouraged to apply for license AND NPI at the same time to prevent delays in

  3. First Job, Unsure of Role

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

    Personally, I wouldn't work for an organization that has never worked with an NP. Too much of a risk not being able to practice to the fullest extent of our scope, and such a headache trying to...

  4. When to Apply for Jobs?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to QEOLAdvocate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would say it depends on how urgently you will need a job after graduation. I graduated this June, and for me, it was extremely important that I got secured a job after I graduated. I have a family...

  7. Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

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

    Hmm I find it interesting that no one brought up food desserts that disproportionately affect the poor, who are more likely to be obese and experience the worst adverse health outcomes. Yes, you will...

  8. Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

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

    My goodness, I'm sure glad you aren't my provider! You've completely disregarded this women's experience. With an attitude like that, good luck motivating any meaningful change in

  9. Working in a small practice, and the employees are rude.

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    ...not without a fight! You're doing well at this practice and appear to be learning a lot! Those things don't always come easy, and who is to say you won't come across this same situation at a...

  11. Help save my career

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to ccw123's topic in Advanced Practice

    While I applaud you for making a decision that you feel is right for you, I disagree that having RN experience is needed to perform ardvanced level nursing practice in PRIMARY care. Two completely...

  12. Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

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

    ^^^THIS is how a clinician should approach patient care. If they know you think less of their beliefs, they will never be motivated to do any

  14. There has to be more besides indeed.com for NP job searches??!

    ToFNPandBeyond posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Right?! It appears that indeed.com and the dreaded Craigslist has become the only websites to go to when searching for NP jobs. I will be graduating with my Masters in nursing come June, then taking...

  15. NP Work life balance

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to ncaru01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lol, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! Very entertaining, yet insightful. I will say, however, that there is a theme in the experiences you've mentioned, and it's worth noting and paying attention...

  16. Sacramento Nurse Practitioner working conditions

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to phosphorus's topic in Advanced Practice

    Bump!

  17. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Exactly! I disagree with those who are stating that one should have RN experience in order to be a good NP. The issue here is lack of on-the-job orientation/training, not RN experience. Specifically,...

  19. Advice?? Having trouble finding NP job.

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to seibeb2012's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jules, I've read a lot of your comments on different threads and with all due respect, I find your opinions regarding NPs with no RN experience, who seek orientation, to be a bit crass, inaccurate,...

  20. Tell me the downsides.

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

    THIS right here is EVERYTHING!! Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed aspect of your experience. I am truly enjoying reading all of these experiences. It's a bit humorous if I'm to be honest,...

  21. What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I find this comment offensive. Please be mindful of your racially motivated biases about a city that has the negative reputation of violence because of its racial demographics. If you look at the...
