Sam. W MSN, APRN

When I was in the FNP program, RNs were making bank on COVID travel assignments while the FNP job posted online looked so sad, salary-wise. And many RNs hate to be an NP, so they went back to bedside nursing after getting an FNP certificate. I was di...

I am in Indiana, and I have been hired full-time by a local company as an NP. They have been handling my credentialing since forever, and I won't start until 01/2024. They did not ask me to sign a non-compete, which is why I took the job. Now I want ...

So it is true that I could make $180K year if I round in several nursing homes. Wow. 😁Thank you so much for your input

There are companies hiring NP to do rounds at nursing home. The offer sounds lucrative. Is it true though? They say "you get paid $30 per visit", I was thinking we were seeing 25-32 patients at primary care office visit every day during my clinical r...

I totally agree. Well, my boyfriend is on a perpetual startup rollercoaster in Silicon Valley. He's convinced that one day his ship will come in when the company goes public, and he can retire to a life of luxury. The catch? He works tirelessly,...

Do you know which nursing homes in Indiana that uses PCC system?

I obtained a compact nursing license from my home state, Indiana. Since Ohio had also joined the compact nursing states from 01/01/2023, I thought I could just use my IN license to practice in Ohio. However, when I tried to establish my RN license in...

It most likely was true. Many NP had to take a pay cut to get their first job. Once they finish their first contract, then you negotiate for a higher salary, but I don't think it would not be 30K higher or more. You have to see more and more patients...

The salary of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) compared to experienced Registered Nurses (RNs) can vary depending on the location, usually NP's don't make much more, if they make more, than a seasoned RN. Additionally, NPs may be required to sign a non-comp...

Without contract, you can leave or they can fire you.

As a newly certified nurse practitioner in Indiana, I think I should be obtaining certain credentials such as the NPI , CSR, DEA, descriptive authority, and register with Medicaid/Medicare/other insurance as providers. My school really did not talk a...

haha, but OR staff could be really rude, worse than on the floor. But I would not choose to work anywhere else other than OR circulator, especially in outpatient setting, there is no weekends, no on call.... perfect! Just ignore some *** surgeons, yo...

I'd say why not? Since they always say your RN experiences do not matter in becoming an NP. So, why not.

Thanks in advance. In general, when will you choose Lexapro or celexa over Zoloft, or the other way around? and When will you choose paxil? Do you prefer paxil for depression with menopause? Thanks again!

Hi there, I only know Indiana is a reduced practice state, and the FNP in IN can treat GAD, depression. Are there any specific mental diseases that the FNP cannot diagnose and/or treat (any specific therapies that we need PA or MD's signature?) ...

I had my ADN in MI, and I got my initial RN license in MI. However, I never practiced a day in MI. I moved to IN right after I got my MI RN license. Since then I have an IN RN license by endorsement. My MI license has been lapsed since 2019. Should ...

Does BIO3050- pathophysiology at Aurora University counts as Microbiology for California board of nursing? Thanks!

I am not be able to move to anywhere until the fall of 2023. I hope it would get done by then.

awww...Taking care of a baby alone is hard enough. But if you quit right now, the time and energy would be wasted, and the tuition 😞 once you graduate, you would have more time to be with your family, and. you don't have to work overtime to make the ...

So when you lapsed you MI RN license, and you got other three states’ all at once? Was MI still attesting your education years after your MI lapsed? Or you don’t need MI BON to be involved in the future endorsement?

I work in OR as a circulator in Indiana. I have seen many ortho and general doctors have FNP's work as their first assist, and I am sure those FNPs are not certified as first assist here, some are new graduates. The FNP would come in help when in ste...

What would happen if you only have epinephrine at hand when there is an opioid overdose person next to you. Despite of CPR, without Narcan, can you give them epinephrine at all? It will not revive their breathing, right? Thanks.

I am so confused why some NPs or RNs so discouraging. Hey, if you want money, you could jump into the stock market, I did since April, made $110,000 for the last 2 month, well, it absolutely stressful for some people, it is all about how you take it,...

well, you had to do all the "dirty" work, she only goes there ONCE A WEEK, and mainly just looked at it and used the pen write down some words and walked away. see the difference?
