  1. Did you keep your RN license and why?

    Goldenfox replied to DelightfulNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Because you have

  2. Future of Nurse Practitioners

    Goldenfox replied to Lightning Rose's topic in Advanced Practice

    NP education is not a bad thing if you really want to be a clinician and you have completely ruled out medical school as an option. Look for a good school that has an excellent training program AND...

  3. Future of Nurse Practitioners

    Goldenfox replied to Lightning Rose's topic in Advanced Practice

    Part of your post is incorrect. Nearly every specialty area in medicine has advanced certification programs for clinicians who don't have board bona fides but want to specialize. This includes...

  4. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Goldenfox replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry to hear this happened to you. This is sad. $85,000 for an NP in a state like California. Before I became an NP I worked as an ICU travel RN in California. Don't want to date myself, but that was...

  5. Gave up DNP

    Goldenfox replied to LookForward's topic in Advanced Practice

    ^This. Thank you for telling it like it is, TraumaRN. I once was a DNP student and gave it up too. I came to terms with myself. I'm not all that young anymore. College is ridiculously expensive and...

  6. LLC?

    Goldenfox replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The most important benefits are that liability is shifted from you, personally, to the LLC. If you are sued, its the LLC that gets sued, not you personally. So, your personal assets are not exposed to...

  7. Do FNP's really make 80k to 90k a year?

    Goldenfox replied to mariposabella's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Think of it in terms of a company like Kaiser--- that owns and runs a medical facility: very much oriented around processes that streamline everything to optimize cost control and maximize profit....

  8. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Goldenfox replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Even outside the big coastal cities, there are not 'plenty' of good NP jobs that pay good salaries anywhere. Not anymore. And in some cases where an older, experienced NP have that locked up, he or...

  9. Telemed in different state will i be in trouble?

    Goldenfox replied to Crt2rn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The company gave you bad information, and I suspect that they did this knowing full well that it is illegal. Braces are obviously not medication but they are still a treatment that you prescribed for...

  10. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    Goldenfox replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Give it some time. It won't be long before someone comes along and posts that they recently graduated from NP school and received a dozen job offers and now earn a big 6-figure salary with everything...

  11. Aesthetic , derm and cosmetic nurse practitioner

    Goldenfox replied to Aolver1991's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't pay $40k. Apply for a RN job in a derm/aesthetics practice and let them crosstrain you to do injections and procedures. Getting hands-on training from an MD in the specialty is the best route to...

  12. Newly licensed NP working as RN

    Goldenfox replied to GoodKick01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How amenable are your personal circumstances to moving? If possible, that is definitely something that you should look into, even if on a temporary locums basis. I don't believe that you're going to...

  13. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    Goldenfox replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My comment wasn't intended to invoke drama. It was an annecdotal and subjective recollection of my personsal experiences as a new nurse in the CVICU years ago. You assumed that I had difficulty...

  14. Ohio BON Restricting FNP Practice

    Goldenfox replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Notwithstanding the usual assortment of NP haters here, I'm not understanding why anyone would object to this. I worked for years a critical care RN in hospitals then I became an FNP and stopped...

  15. FNP after PMHNP

    Goldenfox replied to SDStudent1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldn't do this if I were you. But that depends on exactly what you plan to do after you complete your education and where you wil be practicing. Where you will be working they will hire you as...

  16. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    Goldenfox replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh, where to begin? Yours is a terrible attitude to have as a new nurse. Not every nurse is the same, even at the RN level. Knowledge, experience, and personal touch are a big factor in the care that...

  17. In-home NP Medicare Assessments

    Goldenfox replied to lvICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're going to do any type in Home Health as an NP spend the extra time and incorporate as an LLC and buy a malpractice liability policy. You also need to invest in a business...

  18. FNP Oversaturation

    Goldenfox replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, the pay will continue to decline. I once made a post about this and it made some people angry, but its true. I saw it happening a while back and it is much more obvious in many places now. It...

  19. Regret Becoming an NP

    Goldenfox replied to psych.nurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    Its interesting that you characterized being an NP as a job and not as a career. In my years of experience in this profession I've watched it change in ways that have convinced me that many of the...

  20. Odd question, but...

    Goldenfox replied to EKTheRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you really want to get into the meat of the science skip both and try for medical school. Spend the extra 2 years in the pre reqs. Well worth

  21. Feedback please... FNP program after only psych experience. Thoughts?

    Goldenfox replied to mrsannRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Stay with Psych and do PNP. Your experience will serve you well. The market for FNPs is

  22. Question concerning neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

    Goldenfox replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yep. This thread reminds me of many of my own experiences when I first began working in CVICU a long time

  23. How can I help educate floor nurses as a Hospitalist NP?

    Goldenfox replied to Bumashes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I somehow get the feeling that the administrators at that facility already know the answers to the questions that they are asking the clinicians to provide solutions for. Either that, or they may be...

  24. There has to be more besides indeed.com for NP job searches??!

    Goldenfox replied to ToFNPandBeyond's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you will be looking for a perm job then you should go directly to the employer website and apply there. Agencies can be helpful but if you go that route you should be aware that they aren't always...

  25. DEA license, apply now or when offered a job?

    Goldenfox replied to flipper628's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What is frustrating? A DEA license does not take long at all. It can take just days or 1 week, in some cases maybe a bit longer but not that much---unless you don't provide all the information they...
