1. Experienced NPs

   PG2018 replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I feel very heavily that schools should assign preveptors. It is absolutely ludicrous to find your own trainer who isn't a university affiliate. I had to find four of them. One mediocre, one who did...

   I found out today that I'm open for any board review as a psychiatric NP. Apparently, the need is so high "psych nurse practitioners are open to any board until availability is met." This makes...

   Ideal NP master curriculum and no nothing you did in undergrad would be comparable. BSN Min cumulative GPA, min science GPA 1000 hours of RN experience as an understood intro to healthcare environment...

6. NP Salaries?

   PG2018 replied to smalli's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Interestingly, as a RN I made substantially less than your survey and as a NP a whole other playing field more. Weird how life works. Next year, I might be working as a bouncer or something. You never...

7. NP Salaries?

   PG2018 replied to smalli's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Annual income is all that matters at this point in life. I'm in the 28% federal tax bracket. Of note, after 118,000 you stop paying Social Security for the year. Awesome! 150,000 base salary plus...

   I just spent Thanksgiving in a rural area. Geez. Not a single decent restaurant for two hours and nowhere to to buy quality underwear. It's not like we were at a tranquil farm with granny. It was...

13. Experienced NPs

    PG2018 replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While I haven't notched five years of experience on my prescription writing pen, I have five with nursedom combined. So my qualms are with the schools primarily. If they taught adequately,...

14. Is age just a number?

    PG2018 replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can't reply in quote. The space won't work. In the ED, I honestly can't recall ever taking a psych patient other than stapling the wrists on a woman who slashed herself to die. With the jail...
