I think you should re-read my post. I said, "I think" it might be a good place or it could be "daunting." I based my opinion on what the FNPs I work with have told me, if that differs from your experience, that is totally fine. There was no need to get snippy. You said you work in Urgent Care. That's infinitely busier with sicker people than a CVS minute clinic. I imagine the learning curve would be a lot easier in a minute clinic setting. You being a nurse for 39 years means you have a lot more experience than myself. That being said, eight years in a very busy ER in a city isn't anything to write off as easily as you did. I respect your experience and definitely your opinion so thank you.

I have asked around in my local ER here in south florida and the consensus is between 100-120k for our mid levels FROM the mid levels.

This was a great read. As someone going INTO the ARNP program and having to secure my own way... it feels like a daunting task.

I am going to be starting my ARNP program this fall and had goals to work in the minute clinic as well. Ive been an ER nurse for 8 years. I have not entered the role of mid level yet but I think I CVS would be a good place to start if you had previous experience with a myriad of ailments and age groups. If not, I could see where it would be daunting as a first job. Urgent care might be a better place for a new grad who had very little multigenerational care prior.

Hey everyone! About two weeks ago I got an Email saying I was referred to the committee and to go to a website and confirm my seat pending official acceptance. This was to davie campus! Yay! It said to wait for an email with an upcoming mandatory meeting for students. If anyone will be going to davie campus, shoot me a private message so we can get together and form a study group :) Thanks! Congrats to everyone!
