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

    $3500 isn't that much less when considering an NP salary...and especially when you factor in your overall happiness. It's kind of a no

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to indomie23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  9. ANCC Frustrations

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

  10. Why do psych NPs make more?

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

    Simple: the psych NP is trained and well versed in everything psych, and you as an FNP are not. Yes, you are prescribing suboxone, but the psych NP is probably doing the same, plus psych med...

  11. Psych NPs Patient Schedules - Is this the norm?

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

    So I take it your employer provides an office manager that you don't have to pay for? Do they complete prior authorizations, scheduling and other admin work for you? That would be so

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

  15. PNP salary negotiation

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to newpnp20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My general rule of thumb regarding appropriate salary standards is that if I am not making more than what I borrowed for school (plus interest), then I am making too low of a salary to earn a living...

  16. Psych NPs Patient Schedules - Is this the norm?

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

    I hear you. I work in private practice/psych outpatient and it's relatively the same issue. I do psych follow-ups and it's 20 min back to back with a "30 min" break and "admin time" that is only 20...

  20. Are PMHNP allowed to prescribe outside of their specialty like BP meds or antibiotics?

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to The0Walrus's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It'll likely take you less than 2 years as it'll be a post masters cert in FNP. As stated above, don't do it unless you want to be liable should something go wrong. I'd argue most psych practices...

    ToFNPandBeyond replied to jfmDNP's topic in Advanced Practice
