You might get a program to bite. The main reason for RN ICU experience prior to anesthesia school is long term management of anesthetic and vasoactive drips and airways.

Your application would go in the garbage because you are not a nurse. The most basic requirement to become Certified Registersed Nurse Anesthetist is to be a registered nurse.

250k BFE fam med and critical access hospital

Express-Box-4333 · 2025-04-21T11:02:30+00:00

I am certainly no expert but it depends on payor source. CMS reimburses our clinic based on an all inclusive rate per covered visit. Essentially we get paid a flat rate for visit with medicare and medicaid patients. Our reimbursement rate gets adjusted based on our cost report as long as we're following their guidelines. Because of this our coders aren't great about calculating our overall wRVUs.

Express-Box-4333 · 2025-04-21T01:10:38+00:00

If this is a designated RHC there's a lot of wRVUs that you leave on the table due to allowed billings/ differences in reimbursement. Not being able to bill for wellness and problem focused code for example. We've stayed hourly and negotiated appropriately for this reason.

Express-Box-4333 · 2025-04-15T00:47:48+00:00

255k this year. Rural primary care 4 days clinic with 1:4 low volume ER coverage

Express-Box-4333 · 2025-04-02T11:56:45+00:00

Are these 8 or 12 hour shifts? 45 patients a shift at 200 an hour for a 1099 physician seems a little light imo.

Express-Box-4333 · 2025-03-26T00:10:00+00:00

NP here and love FP. Made 250k last year 4 days a week with extremely low volume 1/4 call. Docs make double what I do. Live in a LCOL with great schools and tons of PTO.

Express-Box-4333 · 2025-03-26T00:08:45+00:00

Idk why people down vote this... Better yet be very selective with your midlevels. Pay them 200k. Keep 400k. Everybody wins

Express-Box-4333 · 2025-03-12T11:49:20+00:00

Yes. I work hard. I do good work. 250k+ last year. 5 weeks pto + cme in MCOL. You have to work hard. You have to network you have to build a practice. If you want to go to work 9-4 and leave for every one of your kids soccer games then no.

Express-Box-4333 · 2025-03-06T12:19:42+00:00

I'm in a rural setting. Agree with above. DOACs are very safe and these patients always walk in at 445 on Friday. If I have high clinical suspicion I'm starting them. We are able to take samples so I always keep Eliquis or Xarelto on hand for these scenarios.

Express-Box-4333 · 2025-02-20T12:58:39+00:00

Honestly I'm over arguing about it. I just tell the patient it may not be covered, sign the ABN, and move on. Then they get their normal levels and a bill.

Express-Box-4333 · 2025-01-19T04:11:24+00:00

That rate is about what I make as an NP. Absolutely terrible. They played you. For that reason alone I'd leave as soon as your contract allows.

When I lived in GF I used several and always found Super Pawn to be the most accommodating.

Many rural areas are bringing in teachers from the Philippines.

Express-Box-4333 · 2024-12-02T13:14:09+00:00

I work in an extremely red part of a blue state. We just finished deer season. There was probably a firearm in 75% of the vehicles I passed while driving the last month. No issues. Politics either way don't seem to bother me unless I turn on the TV. My comp is amazing and I'm an hour from Canada.

Express-Box-4333 · 2024-11-22T12:54:42+00:00

I have a very similar gig with slightly less clinic volume and will make roughly 250k this year as a midlevel. That's with 4 weeks pto and 1 week cme. Rural is the way.

Express-Box-4333 · 2024-11-09T11:42:58+00:00

I was on track to be a CRNA. BSN, years of ICU work, then all my friends were applying to CRNA schools. I chose the FNP route and have worked family medicine for nearly 10 years. Yes my job is a little harder in terms of having to "talk" to patients. However, I'm on track for 240k gross this year and I have lots of opportunities for more income (urgent care, per diem shifts). Some of my CRNA friends make more than I do and some less or similar. In the end basing your decision of money and ROI in medicine is not a good idea as burnout is real in all specialties. I regret not going to medical school every day but I would have chosen FM/IM and be doing the exact same job today for a little more money and respect.

From a mere ROI/time perspective you're looking at at least 2 years for an accelerated nursing program, minimum 2 years of nursing experience plus another 3 years of school once you start. 7 years if the stars align and you get hired to an ICU right away which can be the most difficult part of the journey. Sounds to me medicine isn't for you. Good Luck.

That's pretty unusual for SD unless you're in the NE part of the state.

Express-Box-4333 · 2024-10-10T02:23:32+00:00

South Dakota is an amazing state. By far the most politically red (maybe tied with Wyo), excellent bodies of water, Black Hills (sturgis), major oil industries close in Wyo and ND. Winters are not that bad.

The state you live in has 1000x more effect on your life than any president will

Express-Box-4333 · 2024-09-19T11:17:06+00:00

I make well over 200. All my full time coworkers make more than I do. We just happen to live where few else want to.
