  1. FNP- Did I make the wrong decision at this job.

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

    How long have you been at this job? Polish up your resume and get busy sending emails and making calls. Leave this gig off the resume. If asked about the time gap simply say that you haven't been able...

  2. New job OFFER! help!!

    Goldenfox replied to OCRN3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Clinic

  3. Salary!?

    Goldenfox replied to roman1006's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would encourage all new grad NPs to make it a short term goal to change jobs anyway after their first year. Much more realistic than to plan to stay in the same job forever and hope that incremental...

  4. Ethical dilemma, what would you do?

    Goldenfox replied to Riburn3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ^This. The practice is his, ran under his name and license. The profits are his also. I would be very surprised if he really doesn't know what the wife is doing. They likely discussed it and mutually...

  5. Interesting!!

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

    I'm just not understanding how this program adds value to a PA's career. PAs already have all the training that they need because their clinical rotations are very similar to that of the physicians,...

  6. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    Goldenfox replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Nursing is not doing 'it' at all. Nursing has always been its own discipline. And there have long since been doctoral decrees within the nursing discipline. The DNP is one such doctoral degree, but it...

  7. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    Goldenfox replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Malpractice, and travel/education for CEU, pre-tax healthcare and retirement contributions/pension plan in addition to base pay are standard fare when you apply for a job as an NP---unless you're...

  8. Treating asymptomatic bacteriuria

    Goldenfox replied to Hi2Jenn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What I remember about this is that you generally don't treat it---unless the patient is pregnant or pre-op for invasive uro/gyn type procedures. I once had a discussion about a slightly different...

  9. New offers..

    Goldenfox replied to OCRN3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Me

  10. I need a JOB

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

    Thanks for sharing this. I've never been able to understand the lowballing and the stall-then-lowball tactics that some of these people try to pull. Unless they are able to trap an unsuspecting new...

  11. FNP - Their Own Clinic - California

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

    Remember though that it's NP practice hours that they count, not RN hours. Good

  12. Graduated 7 months ago FL- still no job!

    Goldenfox replied to Agriffin2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Florida is a 'special' place. I too was offered very low salary and terrible workloads when I was a new grad there. There are a few NPs over there who do ok pay-wise, but very few. The Fort...

  13. FNP - Their Own Clinic - California

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

    I've also looked into opening up my own business in the not too distant future, and I have licenses in a few states (including the ones being asked about in this thread) so I've researched these...

  14. Checks with no funds

    Goldenfox replied to OCRN3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sometimes, it depends on the nature of the business environment in which we are operating. The cash flow may not always be 100% and the employer may say 'don't cash the check until X date', but I...

  15. Salary!?

    Goldenfox replied to roman1006's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You will see an increase based on where you are working and whether or not you are in a specialty area, and also depending on your ability to move to where the jobs are. You can most certainly earn...

  16. Another new grad looking for your expertise.

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

    In addition to what Sailornurse said, if you're planning on just working part-time then you should expect that any benefits offered will not be great so go 1099 and max out on the hourly pay rate and...

  17. Do you feel ill will from doctors?

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

    That website is notorious for its vitriol. Haters will hate. Just laugh and keep

  18. FNP - Their Own Clinic - California

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

    No. They only require that one exists and that it is kept updated by the NP or the practice

  19. Love my job but.......

    Goldenfox replied to Saynp's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes. In life, love, and career, if you want something you have to do something about it.

  20. Graduated 7 months ago FL- still no job!

    Goldenfox replied to Agriffin2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I suspect that things are about to change in Florida for NPs. Some encouraging news coming through on my feeds over the past couple of days. It appears as though the antediluvian Florida legislature...

  21. FNP - Their Own Clinic - California

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

    New York should probably be on the list also, but I left it off because they require a certain number of physician-supervised practice hours before you can be independent

  22. Ancc yellow book

    Goldenfox replied to RN-MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What is the "yellow book"? And which ANCC exam is this for? I have the 2-volume set that they publish and it is called the Family Nurse Practitioner Review Manual, but the books are gray, not

  23. Did Your NP School GPA Matter?

    Goldenfox replied to NerdsRUs's topic in Advanced Practice

    A super high GPA looks nice when you're Sigma Theta Tau and you're graduating in your nice gown with your cords and sashes. But after the graduation ceremony, no one cares. At

  24. CRNA to FNP

    Goldenfox replied to mk28's topic in Advanced Practice

    ^This will be a hindrance for you no matter what you do. The thing with New York is that they want the universities to submit to their accreditation and approval process (in other words, a...

  25. Imaging for recurrent UTI in male?

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

    I agree. Let urology run the gamut, after that they will probably put him or trimethoprim or cipro and send him
