3. Negotiating job description

   sasini01 replied to ChickNlady's topic in NP

   As a fellow new grad, I would suggest perhaps starting small, but discuss expectations for growth, e..g. by 6 months in you would manage X number of patients independently, by 12 months Y patients etc. This will allow you time to learn the ropes and ...

4. Interview help

   sasini01 replied to mas21's topic in NP

   From my experience, you need to keep badgering them if you really want the job. It certainly has helped me. Especially if the recruiter has been out of office lately and probably has a lot of stuff to catch up on. Don't get weird about it though. Bes...

8. ACNP - Job Opportunities and Long Term Viability

11. Medicare/Medicaid certification?

    sasini01 posted a topic in NP
