  1. University of South Florida: BSN-MSN program

    Hi2Jenn replied to applepie2013's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    USF does not require a GRE. They have most of the information on their site so you can compare the length of the program. Anytime you can combine degrees you save a little time. That being said, if...

  2. NP being forced to work as RN

    Hi2Jenn replied to cruisin_woodward's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It sounds to me as if the RN you are "answering" to has a chip on her shoulder. No, not everyone can do what you do if they have the initials after their name. Those initials are hard to get and...

  3. Canned from the pill mill...I mean, pain clinic. Starting my own clinic, need advice!

    Hi2Jenn replied to mountainaireNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    One of the pediatricians I did clinicals with opened her own practice. She was working with a consultant who helped her set all that up. Not sure where you are, but based on your current knowledge...

  4. Strange requests from patients

    Hi2Jenn replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't know. I've got a patient with a lot of hair, everywhere. I ordered the nurses to shave his pubic area because I'm trying to get rid of lice.

  5. NGO/International Nursing/Locum Tenems

    Hi2Jenn posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I know the role of NPs is different and often our training isn't recognized overseas. That being said, what I really want to do is work with a NGO, such as Doctors without Borders. I am a new grad NP...

  6. Productivity pay question

    Hi2Jenn replied to Tesses's topic in Advanced Practice

    Do a google search for RVUs. I found a couple of sites that explain how much the practice is paid per CPT code and how much each is per RVU. For example: I do nursing homes and rehabs. A 99307 is .7...

  7. Negotiating Salary -- Do it!

    Hi2Jenn replied to juschillin's topic in Advanced Practice

    I had been told by several people what to expect in terms of salary for a new grad in my area. I don't feel like I was undercut in that regard. However, my productivity needed for a bonus is a little...

  8. Frustrated

    Hi2Jenn replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I did my pediatric rotation in a public/private partnership type clinic. It sounds like what you are doing. The problem with not seeing patients if they are late is that you are frequently working...

  9. New Grad Job Offers Advice

    Hi2Jenn replied to newFNP2015's topic in Advanced Practice

    I personally have no love of cardiology. That being said, I think pain management has a huge stigma and therefore patients are severely undertreated. I would love to learn more about alternative ways...

  10. Is it a smart move to become an FNP at this point in my life?

    Hi2Jenn replied to RNWV's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are pros and cons of having experience. There were students in my class with 2-20+ years of experience. I found that in many cases it didn't really matter. I do feel that having had home health...

  11. Confused-Which MSN program?

    Hi2Jenn replied to cathering's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it really depends on what state you live in. Florida doesn't really recognize ACNP as a specialty. Most of our hospitalists are using either adult-gero or just family. Since Family is only one...

  12. Licensed as a NP but working as a RN

    Hi2Jenn replied to SierraBravo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with elkpark. My hospital does not allow you to work as an RN once you are working as a NP. You are caught between a rock and a hard place. You are working as an RN and the hospital expects...

  13. quit my RN job??

    Hi2Jenn replied to HurricaneRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I quit my job when I started to focus on my schooling. I didn't think it would have any effect on getting a job. I think it is understandable that some people don't work while going through the...

  14. How do we educate the public on ways to afford medications?

    Hi2Jenn replied to Mrs Helleck's topic in Patient Medications

    I use a website (also has an app) called goodRx. It compares the price at any local pharmacy. I haven't gotten into the full ability to know if it can compare across class, i.e. accupril vs....

  15. How to deal with angry doctors

    Hi2Jenn replied to ann915's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been a nurse for almost 20 years. I agree with some of the posts and some I do not. I disagree with the ones who say do not report it. Here's why. In my years of management this lack of...

  16. Offensive Op/Ed About NPs

    Hi2Jenn replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have frequently found that when someone is discussing an issue they look at it from their standpoint. For example automotiveRN67 said she didn't understand the need for the push for independence. I...

  17. Are you paid by the hour? and what about documentation

    Hi2Jenn replied to Bonosgrrl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would check with an employment lawyer. The owner of the practice is correct that this is not something she gets paid for. However, you are not salaried, you are hourly. An hourly employee is...

  18. University of South Florida, Vanderbilt, MUSC, & GSU

    Hi2Jenn replied to brb3d's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would check with Vanderbilt and find out which course they offer that are specific to the PNP. At USF, PNP students take the same pathophysiology, the same adult health assessment, the same...
