  1. Air Force Reserves vs Navy Reserves

    PG2018 replied to Roxanneluna's topic in Government, Military

    I genuinely found the air force sergeants in recruiting to be arrogant jerks. In fact, I made a formal complaint about it with air force follow up. The navy folks, and I've talked with one clerk, two...

  2. Why is our salary so low?

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    But here's the deal you're being reimbursed for work done. Whatever the % a physician gets, unless an owner, should be the same % a NP or PA gets from revenue. Whether Medicare pays 100% or 85% is...

  3. Why is our salary so low?

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I might point out that most malpractice claims are made on FMGs. I note this because although physicians pass a standard set of tests, they may not be competent. Likewise, my certifying exam assessed...

  4. Why is our salary so low?

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm also ok with absolutely anyone with a doctorate calling themselves doctor. My PCP, a DO, walks in on new patients, sticks his hand out and says "Joe Blow, what can I do for you" as his...

  5. Why is our salary so low?

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  7. Why Are There Neonatal NPs When There's Pediatric NPs

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

    Because nursing has failed to ever produce comprehensive "advanced practice." Neonatology is a subspec of pediatrics so why nursing doesn't follow this ideology is beyond

  8. What do NP's wear

    PG2018 replied to FutureNP111315's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a psychiatry NP. I loathe scrubs and want to distance myself from them as much as I can. I wear business attire, business casual, dark jeans once in a while, etc. I do not carry a briefcase....

  9. Re-entering the workforce as an NP vs getting a PhD

    PG2018 replied to pnpvirginia's topic in Advanced Practice

    Maybe if you work as a PNP you'll get the 1000 hours. Are you sure that number is right? Also, I wasn't aware nurse PhD programs were hard to get into. Maybe you should look into a MPH,

  11. Why is our salary so low?

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What can a RN do really? Some kind of verbiage similar to an order is required for any initiative. An assessment is merely structured observation amd nursing interventions like rolling warming and...

  12. Why is our salary so low?

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This. Why do a doctor's job without commensurate pay? I'm not going to listen to people 30 times a day, open my house up to liability, and give them meds that we often prescribe based often on...

  13. Why is our salary so low?

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't base anything on quality measures. It's stupid. Humans do not live by the numbers. We all have feelings and preconceptions and these dominate logic. Heck testimony can and usually does beat...

  14. Why is our salary so low?

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So recently I was offered 55/hr for a position that will bill 480/hr. Do you think I told them to kiss my tail? Yes, their negotiation tactics were unreasonable, I.e. take ot or leave although we...

  15. Why is our salary so low?

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  16. Why is our salary so low?

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think most docs are clearing more than 200k. If not, they need a new

  17. Give me some perspective NP's

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

    If you want a provider role pick some type of NP. Although the CNS can still be a provider in some environs, that isn't quite the norm anymore. If you want to do trauma, I'm not sure. I honestly...

  21. Emergency Department NP

    PG2018 replied to RNDude2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You know I preferred fast track to traumas and codes. It seemed real and practical like you could actually cure those people in most any setting. Without the technology of the trauma rooms, code...

  22. Confused!! Post masters or DNP

    PG2018 replied to supernursejason's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If the DNP is free and you have time then get it. Post masters acute certs will be there too for grabs. Maybe cert on your own dine then DNP on theirs. Either way same time
