    Anyone going to the AANP Leadership Conference Sept Chicago?

    MikeFNPC replied to traumaRUs's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just did the summer conference, it was great. I'm sure this one will be as well. My company pays for me to go to conferences in Hawaii. It's going to be a tough call,

    Have you ever met someone who regretted getting their NP?

    MikeFNPC replied to Cola89's topic in Advanced Practice

    Not a single one! I do agree with others who have mentioned not accepting a lower paying position. I'm 2 years out and make 50% more than I did as an RN and work 50%

    Clinicals....how do you do it?

    MikeFNPC replied to Jessann5's topic in Advanced Practice

    I quit and didn't work. Saved up enough to get me through about 6 months. I could have worked but it would have been very

    AANP National Conference

    MikeFNPC posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I've been at the AANP National Conference in San Antonio the last week. My first time, it's awesome. One of the best aspects is seeing thousands of NP's together for one cause. Truly it was...

    Palliative Care NP job

    MikeFNPC replied to kbj1125's topic in Advanced Practice

    I work alongside (not the same company) some palliative care NP's. They tell me that there's great pay, flexibility, and benefits. They also tell me that the physicians they work under are...

    Negotiate or walk?

    MikeFNPC replied to jaznia15's topic in Advanced Practice

    In my opinion added responsibility=added compensation. So, yes to the increase in base salary. I would negotiate the weekend to either hourly, like 100/hr, or extra pay if they plan on giving you a...

    Doctor's negative view of NP / Psych NP

    MikeFNPC replied to Granted Fal's topic in Advanced Practice

    Totally agree, the threat of losing their (MD's) cash cow incites defensiveness and/or Might-Makes-Right” arguments. The medical professionals that maintain altruism are typically more...

    New Grad FNP job hunting

    MikeFNPC replied to EDNURSE4LIFE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't blame you for going to medical school, I'm 48 though. When I put pen to paper, it was better for me to go for FNP. If I was 10 years younger I'd have gone for MD. I'm in Texas where 30% of...

    I'm in San Antonio. If you haven't yet, join SANAP.org. You can post a request for preceptors on their website. At all the meetings we give students the opportunity to request a preceptor. I'd...

    New Grad FNP job hunting

    MikeFNPC replied to EDNURSE4LIFE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maybe join your local APRN group. Most of the members (60 attend meetings monthly) at the one I'm in are pretty tight, and offer up job opportunities at each meeting. When I was looking for a...

    Np va pa

    MikeFNPC replied to Ncgirl741's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I chose NP because I feel that the nursing focus adds a piece to my practice that is sorely missing from medical training. In short, I'm proud to be a nurse.

    Telephonic NP with optum health

    MikeFNPC replied to bklynbaby's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hmm, sounds like constant on call. I wonder how many calls you would expect. Do you mind sharing a ballpark salary for that kind of work. When I'm on call (telephone only), the pay is $1500 from Fri...

    help: how to find the next NP position with a short first NP experience

    MikeFNPC replied to ljmama1974's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Find a local NP organization and join it. You'll be able to network and find out a host of opportunities. In San Antonio we have SANAP.org for example. Good luck.

    Ethical dilemma, what would you do?

    MikeFNPC replied to Riburn3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, it sounds like the new offer has taken away the only barrier to talking with the doc. And as some have offered, leave the place. But only after championing the weak. I've witnessed the same...
