The information on this post is such a valuable tool for a discussion about what is happening in other parts of the country and somehow those areas are so close minded and have such lack of foresight that they just dont see this coming or think they ...

Thank you so very much!! I am studying for the exam now. I took the course on the AANP site. I will do as you suggest. I am not required to have this but thought it would increase my marketability. Jobs are so scarce, need all the help I can get. ...

I will be taking the CMV exam soon. Does anyone have any study hints for me? I am a bit nervous and would be humiliated if I fail. My family is counting on me to pass. It would open the door to working in occupational medicine locally.

I have been told by a couple of recruiters that the job ads listed online boards are a formality only and that the majority of the positions are already filled from inside or people they have already targeted for the position. That most of the jobs ...

This is quite an amazing post. I am seeing this very phenomenon occurring occurring in a specific area around Nashville. I can see what you are describing happening. Nashville is supposedly the “it” city. Massive migration of high tech and the sala...

tekialove, I have done the very same thing. I have been applying for RN jobs but the minute the recruiter sees the APRN status, straight to the "We decided to go with a candidate that was more qualified" box. I see ads, ads, ads for NPs, but where ...

Actually, I am asking what kinds of remote home based employment may exist for NPs. There are so many nurses in every field on this site and I am sure know so much more than I do about "what opportunities are out there" for NPs. I have learned so muc...

Oh sweet lady, I sooo support you...Get out now!!! Find some out of the way small clinic that is a cash only or just cut your losses and do something else..legal nursing (but thats more costs also)just anything to get peace of mind..It is not worth i...

Has anyone had a really bad orientation experience with a retail clinic???

I can speak from experience...orientation is horrid!!! Plop you in the chair the first day and tell you to start seeing patients, operate an EMR you have never laid eyes on before and totally humiliate you in front of the patient because you dont "r...

I ADORE what NedRN Pro posted to tell the offending agency!!! If you never care to work for that agency again, I would take NedRn's advice. To redo all those labs is a stack of cash and time on the clock. For a letterhead??? really??? All these guys ...

I have been doing these compensation and pension exams now for about 12 weeks and i just worn out with the endless emails asking for "adjustments" in my notes. Almost as if I am supposed to mimic everything that VA has written previously. And the for...

I am so tired of incompetency of the many state boards of nursing I have dealt with. We complete our application and include everything they ask for, then we get a notice: we need more information. "Go get more notarized forms, get your previous boar...

I loved my work with a retail clinic as a new grad. I learned sooo much. How to do a quick accurate assessment, what drugs are best for what problem, how to operate simple diagnostic equipment, how to deal with truly obnoxious people. The experience ...

I worked for a retail clinic in the Atlanta area 2012-2014. Made $48 hour. I had one year experience when I took the position. I have friends living in the Nashville area and they tell me $40/hr for out patient clinic work is about par there.

I am an FNP. I truly regret going back to school. I worked as an RN in so many different areas and loved ER. Just had to have the NP for "status" "money". As one poster said, I had no clue as to the actual job description and "a day in the life of" I...

Amen Becky and Mr nurse!!! I so agree with you...Adults have let those kids down!

Amen sister!!!

I remember when I was their age and a bit older how vehement I was about my "rights"& beliefs", so I hesitate to cast a negative view point. I just know how drastically I have changed as I grew into adulthood. My beliefs have changed, my though...

I am excited for you for this opportunity. Please consider either joining the Infusion Nurses Society, the Society for Vascular Nursing or the Association for Vascular Access. You have so many paths of greatness to take now. Learn all you can. There ...

I am seeing the result of the massive number of NP's the colleges are grinding out. The schools have found a way to fill their coffers to pay for their sports department and are going big guns. The direct entry schools and online schools are absolute...

SandieB, I am grateful for your input as someone actually doing these exams. I have heard really good things about LHI. I am working at a clinic that has contracted with LHI to do Vet exams locally. The clinic pays midlevels extremely poorly as do mo...

Rathyen, thank you so very much for your kind response. apparently, I dont have enough posts to send a private message to you. I so appreciate you offering though. I would love to hear your thoughts. I have completed my credentialing and from what I ...

As far as a response to you; Jules, "And really?" to quote you. do you even own a computer? do you even know the process of research? do you know how to "google" an unknown? Bet you know how to search for your local Walmart though. Your type of atti...

First and foremost, make certain the geographical area you choose to practice in is not saturated with NPs or NP schools. Colleges looking to fill their coffer have opened NP programs that are basically "Give us 60K and we will give you a certificate...
