With NY and Kansas becoming the 25 and 26th to grant full practice authority, I was thinking that when I graduated in 2014, there were 30 something states that had FPA. Have some gone back?

Wait for your first job.

I do exactly what the doctors I work with do. No difference at all.

Admin needs to remove this thread. Obviously, it's someone baiting the NP profession.

Is this even a real post?

I'm in Texas and I have a collaborative agreement with a supervision physician, I have no idea what she does. She gets a lot of money for doing nothing, I know that. It's just another way physicians can make money. There is no other reason for the relationship, other than control.

When I was in school, I gave one of my male preceptors (who him and his wife had been trying to get pregnant) a pair of camouflaged underwear so he could sneak up on her, LOL! Of course it was a lighthearted gift between men, but wouldn't you know, they got pregnant soon after. We still have a great laugh about it. I work with him now.

I'd give something based on the length of time with the preceptor. If it's only 40 hours or so, I'd give a $20 gift card to somewhere that they go. If it's more, I'd give more. My wife was with someone for about a year (because of Covid). We gave him a weekend in our RV at a state park. They have 4 small children and they LOVED it. It only cost my time bringing it there, setting it up, and about $40 in fees.

I think I'm going to use ceufast.com. You can take the courses for free, and to get credit it's $39 for a year access. I'm going to look into it a little further.

I do use UTD, but I don't think I can get the specific courses that Texas requires through that source alone.

I did a search and wasn't able to find a good answer. Is there a good "one stop site" for getting all the required CME's? For example, in Texas, we need: Alzheimer's and Dementia Controlled Substances: A Prescriber Guide Dependent Adult Abuse (Elder Abuse) Jurisprudence and Ethics for Nurses Licensed in Texas Opioid Crisis: Feeling the Pain Palliative Care and Hospice Pharmacology Current Practice Prescribing Controlled Substances and Drug Diversion, Best Practices Substance Abuse Tick Borne Diseases Human Trafficking

Afterhours and weekend clinics.

Just saw that. So happy for them. Can't wait for it to come to Texas, if ever.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.

Primary care, 40 hours, 150k after bonus, 5k CME, 150 hours PTO not including about 8 holidays, 5 yrs experience, Texas. Lots of opportunities for OT, but would rather spend time with the family.

The collaborative agreement for every NP I know, several, is a joke. There is no supervision at all, only monetary exchange.

I agree with the above post, joining your local NP group is a great place to network with other NP's as well as find job opportunities. Where are you located?

Thank you, I'll try that.

Need a pedi preceptor in San Antonio please! It's for my wife, he rotation is due to start in October. If anyone knows someone, that would be great.

Ha, sorry about not reading the question. Getting FNP first then a post grad cert would be better in my humble opinion. For several reasons, most importantly, it would make you more marketable and have more options.

Yes.

Sounds a little fishy. You could always have your own attorney take a look at it, especially since it'll be your first position.

Congratulations, that is no small feat. I'll never forget the moment I found out. It was like a culmination of my entire career/school/precepting came together at that one moment in time. It brought tears to my eyes, I called my wife barely able to speak. Really a special time. Now, the fun starts. Break a leg, or treat one, LOL.

I second the Epocrates app, free version. It's great for a quick check.
