  1. Urgent care setting new grad

    Aromatic replied to Dbb82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    30-40 day hope it pays good at least. as in 130k +. If you feel comfortable reading plain film chest x rays, ortho shots (looking for fractures, etc), suturing, seeing kids for whatever random virus...

  2. Should I give up on my dream to become an NP?

    Aromatic replied to Through_the_woods's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    haha Jules you've probably exhausted all of the disgusted emojies when commenting on NP education quality :) :) :) :)

  3. Should I give up on my dream to become an NP?

    Aromatic replied to Through_the_woods's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    well, some sort of NP programs will take everybody. 3.5 is fine to get into a decent school though. just dont go to one of those online for profit garbage bank places like kaplan, walden,

  4. Should DNP's be able to practice on their own? How do you feel about midlevel encroachment

    Aromatic replied to curiousobserver's topic in Advanced Practice

    ah man we shoulda went to law school. maybe we can start a nurse witness business and contract out with lawyers

  5. Salary and Negotiation

    Aromatic replied to brista's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    besides the glut of nurse practitioners out there, the lack of negotiations dropping our salaries is another reason I got out. I went to a few part time job interviews a year or two ago and they slap...

  6. Should DNP's be able to practice on their own? How do you feel about midlevel encroachment

    Aromatic replied to curiousobserver's topic in Advanced Practice

    the lack of standards will soon catch up to us nurse practitioners. We all know the lawsuits will start pouring in the next few years when some of the major no nos are bipassed due to lack of...

  7. Salary and Negotiation

  8. DNP vs MSN

    Aromatic replied to susie6785's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. DNP vs MSN

    Aromatic replied to susie6785's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    For real, cant wait till im done with school so i can relinquish my NP credential and write the nursing board a nice long huge letter on why I was ashamed on holding a degree that is so easily tossed...

  10. $29/hr--why am I still in this job!?

    Aromatic replied to ndnursepract's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What is the question though? That pay is awful, i mean especially at 10 years of experience. You know what you need to

  11. Do NPs get training?

    Aromatic replied to EagerToBeFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    we need to know what type of practice this is and what the definition of simple case is. I mean if its a primary care practice and by simple case you mean like sinusitis or pneumonia, then wow, not...

  12. DNP vs MSN

    Aromatic replied to susie6785's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are better 10 dollar books on amazon that teach negotiation. Business plans are worthless except in trying to get a loan. And if I wanted to read about healthcare I could do it via another 10...

  13. DNP vs MSN

    Aromatic replied to susie6785's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ive always wanted to go to an admissions office and ask them what they benefits of their DNP would be. "would i get paid more?, do we learn useful clinical skills?" etc. Of course the answer would...

  14. "smart enough" for DNP program?

    Aromatic replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I wonder if a lot of DNP programs are pseudo attempts at getting people into the lobbying business

  15. RN to PA

    Aromatic replied to RNPA93's topic in Advanced Practice

    i know mayo requires people to get a bsn after some time, probably one of the only hospitals worth actually getting another degree for in order to work there. they seem to pay good at least the...

  16. DNP vs MSN

    Aromatic replied to susie6785's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  17. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    Aromatic replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    yeah besides being a good course to increase mental lube it doesnt do much besides weed people out and help with biochem in med school. Clinically, for almost all specialties, not super helpful unless...

  18. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    Aromatic replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    lol sorry for bad formatting i copy pasted that from word document. at least rockmay isnt in med school so he wont be our boss any time soon, that would be a not pleasurable experience, even though...

  19. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    Aromatic replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was 27 when I started. Still 27 haha for a little bit more. Havent seen this tech that will decrease need for physicians yet but that doesn't mean its not coming. Overall, I chose to go back since I...

  20. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    Aromatic replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    gp docs still make quite a bit, I wouldnt want to do it really but we get graduates coming in pumping 250k first year from most places but the coastal cities. sometimes less but its not a ridiculous...

  21. RN to PA

    Aromatic replied to RNPA93's topic in Advanced Practice

    lol yeah, I think most doctoral degrees are worthless outside of academic unless as we have said a million times it gives you the license to do something. at least most non nursing PHDs pay YOU to do...

  22. Make more $$ and Work Less.

    Aromatic replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    they probably meant to but psychiatrist on that job title. north east is usually saturated with healthcare

  23. RN to PA

    Aromatic replied to RNPA93's topic in Advanced Practice

    Oh yeah Jules, I was browsing the psych forums on SDN to make sure I didnt have to do any extracurriculars to do a psych residency (luckily its the least competitive specialty and I dont have to do...

  24. RN to PA

    Aromatic replied to RNPA93's topic in Advanced Practice

    TBH everybody should have to sit for at least USMLE step 3 in order to prescribe medications, even PAs and NPs. I say at least since its the easiest step to pass but its still harder than the NP exam...

  25. RN to PA

    Aromatic replied to RNPA93's topic in Advanced Practice

    But I guess on the serious note I am not sure which one I would do. Of course if you dont mind the sacrifice med school is worth it but if that is out of the question I would ask yourself the...
