  1. FNP Oversaturation

    Polly Peptide replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I didn't but will now; that is certainly good news, on the doc side at least. The HRSA projections have criteria of course, and limitations. Per their study: "All projection models are sensitive to...

  2. Do you want to become an NP?

    Polly Peptide replied to Riburn3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your "attitude of gratitude" strikes me as a bit off. Normally I appreciate it, but as it relates to this article and your advice, I find it disconcerting. More specifically, you compare your role as...

  3. FNP Oversaturation

    Polly Peptide replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you and I agree. I just didn't understand the "plenty of jobs" comment, considering there will be few docs limited to certain numbers of

  4. FNP Oversaturation

    Polly Peptide replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can you clarify? You said there are limits to how many NPs/PAs a doc can supervise, which won't be changing anytime soon. But then you said the future will consist of docs supervising "high numbers"...

  5. FNP Oversaturation

    Polly Peptide replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Perhaps there is a push in psych (as there should be). However my comment was specific to primary care physicians. It is projected there will be a shortfall of more than 20k. By 2025, 37 states are...

  6. FNP Oversaturation

    Polly Peptide replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Looking at the report I posted a little more closely, by 2025, it's expected that 35 states' NP supplies will exceed their demand by more than 50%. And that is at least 50% (ranging up to 250%). As...

  7. FNP Oversaturation

    Polly Peptide replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Increasing NP pay will increase their SUPPLY...not their demand. Unfortunately. I am kind of with you, though, on ambivalence about increasing pay (significantly, at least). While I think the current...

  8. Why do some practices prefer PAs to NPs?

    Polly Peptide replied to mep7296's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you and I saw your earlier comment. I was just disturbed that two others said the opposite and wondered what made them think such a

  9. Why do some practices prefer PAs to NPs?

    Polly Peptide replied to mep7296's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Please someone tell me if this is true. This seems absolutely inane to me. The ONLY reason I can come up with that a PA might get 100% reimbursement when an NP cannot is if they are billing under the...

  10. Real books vs ebooks

    Polly Peptide posted a topic in General Students

    I am purchasing textbooks and am curious as to when a real textbook is more advantageous than electronic downloads. Actually, my real question is vice versa - when are e-textbooks more advantageous?...

  11. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Polly Peptide replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This truly is one of the most sensible comments I've seen as it relates to the RN experience vs DE debate. I know it's been said in a variety of ways that NP education needs to be shored up and...

  12. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Polly Peptide replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Coming from the insurance industry, I can verify that there was certainly a period of time where they required billing from an MD/DO "provider ID" in order to reimburse. Obviously they came around....

  13. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Polly Peptide replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh, I fully plan to succeed :) I wouldn't be making a mid-life career change (also from a previously successful one) to do this if not! I am excited I have the chance to do it. I am also not...

  14. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Polly Peptide replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is no need for this sort of response. I did read your article and in fact referenced your point about moving. I think it's important for us to all know the facts (er, projections), don't you?...

  15. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Polly Peptide replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    HRSA released a report in Nov 2016 regarding the supply and demand levels of primary care providers by state. In 2013, some states still had a deficit of providers (such as California), but many, such...

  16. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Polly Peptide replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I appreciate your optimism, Full Glass, but I have to wonder if your assertion holds true for the 27 states that currently have a surplus of primary care NPs. I live in one of them, and I do worry...

  17. Christmas Bonuses

    Polly Peptide replied to kadphilly's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sounds like a culture thing to me, rather than any sort of normal practice. I just mean culture-specific to your workplace. It's obviously inappropriate, but for some reason that has become typical...

  18. Frustrated New Grad

    Polly Peptide replied to AshleelRenee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I found it the info,

  19. Frustrated New Grad

    Polly Peptide replied to AshleelRenee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just curious - is this info available on their website for public consumption? And does it disclose type of NP? Like is it FNP or just a surplus of all NPs? Sorry to

  20. Who salary is higher NP or PA?

    Polly Peptide replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I do believe PAs are earning a bit more, for a couple of reasons. They tend to be more prevalent in some of the higher paid areas (like surgery and ER), but NPs can work in those areas just as...

  21. Is this fair?

    Polly Peptide replied to CallMeSally's topic in General Students

    Have you confirmed if your school is accredited, OP? This would make me

  22. Real books vs ebooks

    Polly Peptide replied to Polly Peptide's topic in General Students

    I still think I prefer real books in general. I am trying Amazon's rental service for this term. We'll see how I like it. May change it up next

  23. Real books vs ebooks

    Polly Peptide replied to Polly Peptide's topic in General Students

    This is a GREAT

  24. Nurses, am I crazy for thinking I can do this?

    Polly Peptide replied to Aaron.goins3's topic in General Students

    My A&P class was combined, but I did take A&P together with Micro. Had no issues. Patho is in my nursing program (not a prereq) so I can't speak to that. But considering how I handled the...

  25. Future of NP and...my future

    Polly Peptide posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was accepted into a direct entry program, a reputable B&M school, which was to start last August. I chose not to go, for a variety of reasons, but mostly having to do with the season of life my...
