I really appreciate your input! Taking notes...

Thank you !I do, I live in New York.

Thank you! I really appreciate interacting with optimistic individuals. I will be the first to admit that I am inexperienced in private practice business models. I always seek to connect with others that have the experience or those with interest because I gain alot of insight from sharing. We went to school for nursing not business so naturally we would have to learn the business aspect of coding, reimbursement, human resource management, legal issues etc. I am currently a venture capitalist as an RN and I have learned it really takes seeking mentorship from experienced individuals and tons of research . I feel that making money doing what you love is even more valuable then investing in the typical areas that generate stable cash flow such as real estate. I am open to making money off of entities I am not truly passionate about so I feel that my investment would be even more exponential if I am ACTUALLY passionate about the population. I agree that nursing and business are not typically regarded as interrelated entities. Historically, "making money" from caring for people has been dismissed as counterintuitive. I understand why this would ruffle some feathers. But to have the gift of both is not something that she be shunned. I should be used to it by now, I study psychology for christ sakes, "the bottom" of the nursing hierarchy :) . Have a great night and keep this fire. We need more people that are "naive" and wide-eyed to the world of opportunity outside of conventional ideas of what society feels nursing should look like. The NP profession in itself has ruffled some feathers but we are doing awesome in lobbying for increased autonomy and i am optimistic that there will be an increase in NP established private practices!

Sometimes, I regret coming on this site looking for encouragement between studies. I am currently pursuing a PMHNP degree. I know that I have a different mindset from most nurses because at my place on employment i make ingenuitive ideas for change as opposed to complaining. I wholeheartedly would like to connect with NPs that have an entrepreneurial mindset. I say this because there are loads of complaints about the standard low to mid six figure paycheck but the fact remains that we are reimbursed at 85% of MD payout. What does that mean to me? That means I am entitled- with sound competence of course- to earn 85% of what an MD makes. Did not invest in 10 to 15 years of schooling so I am ok with that. I am always hearing autonomy as a benefit to becoming an NP but rarely do I see NPs take the plunge into starting a private practice. I intend to specialize in addiction medicine and start my own practice. Are there any likeminded NPs or prospective NPs that feel the same? Either way I intend to be a trailblazer in creating a sound NP business practice model in psychiatry and addiction medicine. Funny thing is formulating my business plan, it makes perfect sense why these salaries are being offered. Maximizing profit on initial investment. if you can afford to pay be between 100k to 200k that means that i am worth significantly more than that.
