1. Who says nurses can't be scholars?

   divobari replied to Neuro Guy NP's topic in NP

   I just have to say that any non-prescriber healthcare professional with any advanced degree, i.e. Nurse educator, Nurse administrator, Hospital CEO(Typically with MBA or MPH), Nurse Anesthetist(non prescriber in many states) could take your remark as...

2. Overweight RN talked about

   divobari replied to VegGal's topic in Relations

   This is called poor workplace culture. Based on your encounter, it sounds like it leaves one wanting. I can only imagine how these types of nurses treat their clients and the kinds of biases and micro-aggressions they foster towards their patients.

3. Who says nurses can't be scholars?

   divobari replied to Neuro Guy NP's topic in NP

   I am currently pursuing a DNP and am pleased with the skill that I have gained this far. There is clearly a divide in nursing. There are those who want it to be a labor intensive profession and others who want to use it to influence delivery of car...

4. Why is our salary so low?

   divobari replied to AAC.271's topic in NP

   Im not concerned. The negative, uninformed comments reflect on the person - not the profession. Some clearly have resentment for whatever reason... :-) Great reflection!!

5. Why is our salary so low?

   divobari replied to AAC.271's topic in NP

   In my area, major hospital systems start NPs at $125k-140k, depending on experience... I spoke to a recruiter who was trying to persuade me to not become an AGNP and he said he got a psych NP $130k - with no experience. Not bad for such mediocrity, ...

6. Why is our salary so low?

   Sounds a bit acrimonious, but I'll accept the warm wish... Thanks! :-)

7. Why is our salary so low?

   divobari replied to AAC.271's topic in NP

   This is draining my energy. LOL! Ok. What is the point here? NP education - along with ANY education one receives - is what the individual makes of it. It also continues as a professional. We can sit back and complain about what we're not gettin...

8. Why is our salary so low?

   divobari replied to AAC.271's topic in NP

   yes, and in many major hospitals, you are calling an NP/PA at 02:00. also, have you ever worked with residents or fellows or attendings? Maybe it is because I am at an academic center, I see what happens behind the facade of the "know it all" physici...

9. Why is our salary so low?

   divobari replied to AAC.271's topic in NP

   Again, with all do respect, we do it to ourselves... Firstly, even if you have earned a doctorate in circus arts, you are a "DR." It is an academic title - not a physician copyrighted title. Physicians weren't always called "Dr", either. It was on...

10. Why is our salary so low?

    divobari replied to AAC.271's topic in NP

    I think that most people, even in other careers, generally don't know how to negotiate salary package. Think about all of the craziness that we put up with. I mean, look at the above comments about schools, Med vs NP school, Online vs Brick and Mor...

11. Overseas Work...In Germany?

    divobari replied to Gu44mby's topic in International

    My wife and I lived in Germany for a few years. She tried to find work as a nurse through the military. They proved to be flakes. They will give priority to service members and their spouses, and native Germans. My some was born in a German hospi...

    In all cases of distress and desperation, their true self is revieled.

13. racist patients

    divobari replied to Rn 1979's topic in Relations

    I'm african-american, Ivy-league educated, and lived in other countries(and it has nothing to do with the US military.) I speak 3 languages, and was born in Bronx, NY - the ghetto. I say that only to help you to feel the empowerment that is within ...

14. Lowest stress (still great pay) nursing specialties?

    divobari replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe try being a flu clinic. Yes, we should all strive for a great work-life balance. I do NOT believe that nursing is a calling, but you have to be committed to going above and beyond protocol. If I listened to what is misinterpreted as a "cal...
