  1. Frustrated

    Tesses replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I hope you got a new job??? Regardless of how much you are paid at this job, remember: quality of life is important. Been there, done it, don't ever want to go

  2. Job Searching

    Post your resume on nursingjobcafe.com. Recruiters will contact

  3. preceptor woes

    Tesses replied to lfoglia1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can imagine! What state are you? Tidy up your resume with a great introductory letter and walk into as many clinics as you can. Attend your local NP meeting and request that they let you talk fir...

  4. How long for TX APRN license!

    Tesses replied to andy25's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That means they need it then. See the copy &paste info from their site. The nurse reviewer puts in all kinds of requirements. Just check everyday to see if any new thing added so you can stay...

  5. How long for TX APRN license!

    Tesses replied to andy25's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You typically don't need the board certification. They may request verification of program from your program director if you don't have it yet. It takes average of 4-8weeks depending on what the...

  6. Take the Offer as a New Grad?

    Tesses replied to Vitabella's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In my recent searches and actual offers in Texas....I don't think I came across 60k offer! There were offers for 80/90k for new grads and 6 figure salary for 1-2yrs experience in Dallas, Fort Worth,...

  7. Take the Offer as a New Grad?

    Tesses replied to Vitabella's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes...emoloyers know what they are doing really! While I fought for pay adjustment with my employer + review of benefits, I discovered a coworker is given $250 CME allowance while I get X10 of that...

  8. Take the Offer as a New Grad?

    Tesses replied to Vitabella's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Counter the offer with a higher amount and request for benefits.....if the figure is still too low (depending on your area), give yourself more time & keep searching. Regardless of area, I would...

  9. Resources for primary care NP

    Tesses replied to Fnpatlast's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do hope things are getting better after your initial post. It is very normal to get nervous as a new grad but please, don't overwhelm yourself. Out of all the resources you have, just stick to 2/3...

  10. Shocked by MD care of my patients

    Tesses replied to grammynp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. Shocked by MD care of my patients

    Tesses replied to grammynp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I guess that's been our 'fight' that they are not any better than us......I dont think I will give in to the fact that she is 'better equipped/prepared' than us. There are many horrible providers...

  12. New Grad NP Salary vs Hourly Pay California

    Tesses replied to saynotojello's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know much about california, however, $50/hr doesn't sound too bad......but consider/ask how many patients are you expected to see per day? You don't want to be burnt out seeing 30patients/day...

  13. How do you gracefully leave a job after less than a year?

    Tesses replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would say your letter may just be very brief without stating the reason in it. However, prepare to discuss the reason with your supervisor/HR verbally- also very professionally, while you make sure...

  14. Shocked by MD care of my patients

    Tesses replied to grammynp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Like you said, she is a new MD grad.....still a lot to learn in clinical practice. MD title does not make her any better than a new grad NP. You can call your patients and have them make sooner...

  15. Need insight

    Tesses replied to misslaceyob's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It is possible to get done on time especially if your EMR has built in templates for most things. I have really never stayed an hour behind for charting except for my first month on the...

  16. Productivity pay question

    Tesses replied to Tesses's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks all for your input....I am actually moving on from this practice. The pay structure became less attractive to me by the day. Really love all the employees & my boss but ......got to...

  17. Productivity pay question

    Tesses posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Employer came up with a raw figure of $16/patient payment. It is supposed to 'encourage' me improve my numbers. States it's from the 'medicare pay per productivity formula'.....Average daily patient...

  18. FNP Austin, TX

    Tesses replied to MarBug7's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Start by applying for TX RN license, except you live in one of the compact state. Then, begin working on th NP license.....TX takes a little while. Sit for your boards and apply for TX license, having...

  19. DOT focused clinic

    Tesses replied to lmonet82's topic in Advanced Practice

    Sounds great to me! Make your clinic more accessible, same day appointment, walk-ins.....even offer 'discounts' for cash paying patients. DOT physicals are not insurance reimbursed, most clinics...

  20. Nurse Pract. in Florida 2015

    Tesses replied to jwalla20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes I do, Like I said, offices differ. 14 is a darn good number!!!..I personally see more than that (25-30/day for productivity reasons)...private practice: the more you see, the higher your earning...

  21. Nurse Pract. in Florida 2015

    Tesses replied to jwalla20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Low salary range for those parts of Florida. Expect offers in the 70s (for 0-1yr exp). With 2 yrs experience, you may get better shot (80s). However, don't underestimate what you can get....your case...

  22. Productivity pay question

    Tesses replied to Tesses's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yea...$16/patient....there is a very low base salary $2850 biweekly....if total number of patient for 2weeks falls below $2850, I will be paid $2850. If it's higher, I earn the higher pay...hence, I...

  23. Productivity pay question

    Tesses replied to Tesses's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thanks BostonFNP.....truly...I consider the $16 low.....how does the RVU system work?Ive seen some posts on it but I don't understand it. Does it mean you have a base salary and still get set $$$ for...

  24. Productivity pay question

    Tesses replied to Tesses's topic in Advanced Practice

    Been at the job for about 2yrs. Offered this pay because I'm considered fast & efficient...Co-see patients with the doc...in essence, patients can be seen by either myself or Doc. Facility bills...
