  1. new NP cant find a job

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to SheRN1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Great idea, Cherry2000! How did you send your resume to clinics that didn't have openings? By mail, email, or in person? Did you have to call the manager first before sending it? Thank you! I need a...

  2. IV's/Blood draws as FNP

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to mka0141's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I never met an NP who had to start IVs or do blood draws in the primary care clinics. However, I know that community clinic NPs sometimes just do it because their lab techs tend to get busy. Sent from...

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You're so sweet! Thank you very much, Marilena. I could still remember those days when i was a pre-nursing student. I had doubts about if i will even make it to nursing school! ;-) Good luck! You will...

  4. Would you be willing to do this?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, it has to be completed by a provider. It is part of the annual wellness visits that insurance companies require patients to have. From what i know, clinics get paid a lot for these forms. You...

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to DLASRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I realized that having the RN experience is necessary before becoming an NP. Sometimes, i pull some information from my past professional experience. I also had a lot of practice communicating...

  9. Would you be willing to do this?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  10. Would you be willing to do this?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I thought the same way too... So that's why I shadowed for about 2 days. However, this shadowing doesn't seem like just shadowing anymore. This feels more like unpaid orientation. I really want...

  11. Would you be willing to do this?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, you are right. I finally decided to follow him for about two days. That was boring! I was thinking that whole time that i can't believe I am doing clinicals again after doing 600 hours of...

  16. Would you be willing to do this?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, i heard this from him again. That he hired people before... "Especially NPs" that didn't last. He said they couldn't handle it. But i don't think so... There must be more to it. Sent from my...

  19. Would you be willing to do this?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Great points, Jules A! I did not do my clinicals there because I didn't know him until now. I heard that he was hiring NPs and so that's why i sent my resume to the manager. I understand I am a new...

  20. Would you be willing to do this?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes..., thank you! The above reasons are the reasons why I didn't feel good about volunteering. However, I though maybe I could meet him halfway. Maybe volunteer for a day or two. But i don't think it...

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I still have my RN job... Also still looking for an NP job. However, i could be making lots of money at my RN job instead of just volunteering. Sent from my

  22. Would you be willing to do this?

    CocoaLoverFNP replied to CocoaLoverFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you! I felt the same way. If i had a definite job offer, I could volunteer for a few days. I also see myself volunteering my time at a non profit clinic... Not a private practice Sent from my...
