I'm actually from Long Island. The rent is Pretty expensive

Happy Holidays!! I have been an NP now for almost three years now Currently, I work in this hospital, and I function as a house officer. I also work for this Pulmonlogist - I do consults in various nsg homes and discuss cases with her etc. I have learned so much and thinking that I am ready to specialize. I am very interested in doing CHF clinic I am thinking of moving to California and looking around LA. Not really sure the cost of living there. For NPs who live/used to live or used to work around LA, how much is the salary for NPs and the rent? I am planning to visit LA just to see. any recommendations where to work in California, not just around LA, I prefer near LA I am somewhat sick of NY. I need to get out of here!! haha Thank you in advance for your output

Hey how are you? By any chance, do you still have the copy of the contract? I started talking to the managers at my job and they are not really sure about it? What exactly do you mean by sending my notes and H&P? I know its a stupid question lol. Is it like lets say I see Mr. Jones, and when I get home I'll do my notes and send it or the school wants my note from my job? Thanks

Thank you all for the reply! I really appreciate your input! UNCNP - How was the program? I am not be able to apply until the Fall of 2017. I am probably "strong" by then and hopefully breeze through the program. Fifteen grand isn't that bad. I am assuming that you chose your clinical site. Was it hard to get into the program? NYU's post master cert has a lot of nsg fluff incorprated within the program. Thank You! Jayjay

Hello fellow nurses!! I started working as an NP House Officer at this university hospital 4 months ago. I mostly deal with medical patients. We have our own RRT. I work at night and therefore deal w/ mostly episodics e.g. SOB, CP, N/V/D etc. etc. I graduated from a Primary Care NP program. Most of you know, most primary care programs teach us about out-pt care/management. I work side by side with two docs, they are willing to teach me and a great resource. There are also specialists that I can ask here and there. I am thinking of going back to school for an Acute Care Cert. NYU offers post cert, but it will cost me an arm and a leg. I am thinking of going back because I feel incompetent sometimes. Another reason is I am planning of moving to NYC in a year or two but city hospitals prefer acute care cert NP over primary care NP - pls. correct me if I am wrong. Regarding the DNP, My hospital can pay for the degree, but I am really not sure if its going to help with my current situation. HaHa!!, I really don't know what to do, I just really want to be competent of what I do. On my nights off, I read and review, I know, such a nerd . Is taking the Fitzgerald acute care review and update will help or am I just thinking too much. JayJay
