  1. Hate my FNP job

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

    Come on. That was weak. You should be ashamed of yourself for saying

  2. Why is our salary so low?

    Goldenfox replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Someone else in this thread said that what we get out of this profession largely depends on our own mindset, and I believe that your post just made a good case for that theory. Honorific titles are...

  3. Why is our salary so low?

    Goldenfox replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I swear, I had the best answers to your question all typed out but decided against posting it because it isn't PC, and people would get angry, and I would be banned from this website. But, essentially...

  4. In-home NP Medicare Assessments

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

    Thank you. Sent you a

  5. Is it ok to date a drug rep?

    Goldenfox replied to q12RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If the person is thin, good looking, decent, AND earns a nice income, then date away. Life is short and there's really not much out there to choose from. Ask any married or divorced

  6. In-home NP Medicare Assessments

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

    I have considered quitting my job and leaving this area to do this type of work on a locum basis. I have such an opportunity right now. I'd like some feedback from others who have done this on a locum...

  7. How low would you go?

    Goldenfox posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So, an acquaintance of mine who lives in Florida's Space Coast area, a newly minted psych NP, e-mailed to ask for my thoughts about a full-time psych position that she is considering applying for. In...

  8. Do You get Upset When you are Called a Physican Extender

    Goldenfox replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I doubt that its avoided only as a precaution for confusion. Moreso because of the potential for litigation in the event of an adverse outcome. All that it takes is for one patient to be dissatisfied...

  9. How low would you go?

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

    Jules A, you are a person after my own heart. I follow your posts and just love your mind. I wish I were as good as you. But, the more that I travel and talk to people the less faith I have in the...

  10. How low would you go?

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

    The ad was edited. It had some typos and inconsistencies, and it didn't say 'part-time'

  11. PCOS guidelines

    Goldenfox replied to 1louise1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    PCOS is not something that I used to see often when I did primary care. However, as a general rule, I always treat any patient according to objective and subjective data, and not just arbitrarily...

  12. PCOS guidelines

    Goldenfox replied to 1louise1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I believe that this is one of those diagnoses where you have to treat the patient according to patient-specific issues. The guidelines are meant to steer you straight, but not everything in them is...

  13. Do You get Upset When you are Called a Physican Extender

    Goldenfox replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with TraumaRUs 100%. I have a doctor title, but I don't use it when I introduce myself to patients. I say my name and then say that I am the nurse practitioner. Most of the patients still call...

  14. The Law School Problem (oversupply)

    Goldenfox replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not a politician. I don't have to have a plan for anyone other than myself. A question was asked, and I answered it. Don't be unsure. Read what the document actually says. Congress published it...

  15. The Law School Problem (oversupply)

    Goldenfox replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    MDs will not be impacted by this like NPs will. Yes, several more medical schools have been opened up over recent years, but this doesn't come close in comparison to the number of NP programs out...

  16. New Grad NP: 5 year contract with monetary prepayment if canceled early

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

    "Those kinds of contracts" are usually not too respectful of us or our profession, and to simply accede to them may be telling that we don't respect ourselves or our profession all that much either....

  17. New Grad NP: 5 year contract with monetary prepayment if canceled early

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

    That depends on what they are paying you, what kind of benefits you are getting, the volume of the practice, and how many (and the type of) patients you see on average each day. My take is that, for a...

  18. How low would you go?

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

    Actually, average NP salary is significantly lower than 106k all over

  19. How low would you go?

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

    I wondered about that too. It is a mistake. They want an NP or a PA with 1 year of experience. I told her not to

  20. Military Acute Care Nurse Practitioner

    Goldenfox replied to bnw6385's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not in the military but what that recruiter told you doesn't make any sense. They have plenty of opportunities in all branches of the military for NPs and you are coming in with experience...no...

  21. FNPs, do you do prostate exams?

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

    In some cases, this is because the studies that they cite as evidence for these guidelines are funded by an individual or organization that is somehow connected to a company that markets cancer drugs,...

  22. Gonorrhea in the throat

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

    Is there a reason why you limit the question only to memberes? I could tell you a couple of

  23. Disappointment trying not to be discouraged (very long post)

    Goldenfox replied to jaznia15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree. They always talk a good game about customer service and all that, but what they're really concerned about is how much money they're going to make off you. Before they even call you for an...

  24. First NP Job and unhappy...What to do?

    Goldenfox replied to TCUgirl15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It can get better, but it depends on what we're looking for and where we look for it. A new grad NP might get lucky and fall into a very good paying position with awesome benefits and receive a really...

  25. New Grad NP Salary vs Hourly Pay California

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

    These people have trouble holding on to their staff because of how the demographics of the Central Valley area has changed and is changing. Its mostly agricultural lands and a whole lot of nothingness...
