FNPatlast: Some physicians are bullies which is exactly what you're dealing with. It is an unrealistic expectation to throw a new NP in the setting without proper orientation because EVERY PLACE IS DIFFERENT !!! There is no excuse for their idiotic b...
There are numerous recruiting sites for NPs and PAs so why aren't some of us getting ideal jobs from these places?? Barton Associates is one and also get on facebook and network for ideal NP jobs......they're out there......

Thankyou NeldaFNP, MSN for the information that you posted. I am currently studying from Barkley using both the manual and his CDs, as well as reading through Leik's certification book and doing the practice questions at the end of that one when I am...
Well one of the things to look for is if the company mentions that the assessments are in one particular area and if they pay for gas mileage. I would think that, that would be a good company to work for. I just wonder how long is the credentialing p...
I would love to do this job but I just think that I need to excel in the clinic environment first. But if I were offered such a job I'd jump on the bandwagon pretty daggone quick.....We have been around and sacrifced for 100 years or more. Isn't it t...

Nelda FNP thankyou sooooo much for this post as I have been worried about a study strategy so thanks again !!! I have not studied since my May 2nd 2015 graduation because I am recuperating from total knee surgery and am in some pain which takes a lot...

Congratulations to you NPs for passing national board certification !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be taking mine in a month or so...I am currently recuperating from total knee surgery and need to focus on healing from that.......I have Leik's book, Fitz...
That's not realistic in this profession. Every RN does not always have the time to go around socializing. The question was catty at best and unnecessary. RNs have this unprofessional cutthroat attitude and it is just ridiculous. Just because you foun...
PsychGuy, I really appreciate your kind reply (you know it's true because it rhymes!). I truly believe that soon, we will be 100% compensated like physicians as far as pay or close to it. We just have to continue to perform well. Washington is notici...
I have been an inpatient RN for many years off and on; but I have never been in the advanced role's circle of influence or ever knew or watched what they did because I was too busy caring for my patients. Rounding can mean rounding via report over pa...

As for California nurses having it going on, they certainly do not have it going on as far as NP practice which is in the serious dark ages and is and remains very restrictive. I find this rather strange because of the nursing unions and wonder all o...
AnnaN5, I have been asked to apply for a hospitalist job but would you please distinguish between rounding and admissions as I am a new AGNP graduate......
Well I am a new graduate and am waiting to sit for the certification. While driving home tonight from dinner with my daughter, I was really thinking hard about this working issue---the easier job or the harder job. I heard this little voice in my hea...
Well these people pay for drive time/mileage reimbursement. Also, the ACA with all of it's ups and downs have opened up the way for the NP to change the way healthcare services are delivered. Obviously many of us have fought long and hard for this da...
I just stated above that we'd have to take out all of our own taxes......the recruiter was very upfront and I have also spoken with other NPs who enjoy the high pay....after all we have worked very hard and deserve it......
I am a recent NP grad myself.....am currently waiting to test and will most likely do so in late June or early July....wished that I could test a lot sooner but I have to have surgery and I desperately need the study time. Ok so anyhoo, I spoke with ...
