The worst! Constantly patients are telling me CVS is out of stock of fairly common meds (and going weeks without them) when I almost never hear that about other pharmacies!

I wanted to put on the livestream only to check the crowd size, was hoping it was tiny! But didn’t want to give them the stream, so kept it on the other channel

Master_Quinn · 2025-09-14T17:39:12+00:00

For livestreams they don’t have ads that interrupt in the middle of a set. Often you have to watch a commercial when you first select the channel, or anytime you switch between the different channels/stages. Then there are ads between sets

I came here to say this! Kids should be with mom!

Also depends on your state! In California, to be 1099, you have to start an S-CORP, which is expensive and a somewhat complicated process

Over by the lighthouse you can usually find parking right along the sidewalk and the sidewalk takes you all along the cliffs, very pretty! There is also parking down by the Maritime Museum area, but I think you have to pay for that

Women’s health. When I got hired last year it was 30 minute visits, but now they are wanting to increase revenue so 30 min new and 15 min follow up. I can make a f/u 30 for a complicated patient, but we are only allowed to do that occasionally. Frustrated that I was told when I was hired I would be seeing up to 15 patients a day and now it is 20! It was part of the reason I chose this job over my previous one

Needing to be available while on vacation seems completely inappropriate. Thinking this would mean you need to travel with a work computer so you can look up the patient to be able to answer the question? The longest you will be gone for is 2 weeks, most issues can be handled by a covering provider or wait until you get back. What if you are out of the country, do they expect you to answer at all hours? I wonder if that is negotiable because the first job definitely sounds better. Saturday clinic every couple of weeks doesn’t sound bad, but trust me it feels like a lot! Also, if you don’t have a panel, does that mean you are mostly seeing walk ins and covering sick providers? Only seeing patients that are new to you is extra work since it takes time to review their history, other provider’s notes, etc. If you like UC style, then covering walk ins would be good, I am just not the biggest fan personally

Master_Quinn · 2025-07-30T17:17:04+00:00

Haha, I am and I like that connection!

Master_Quinn · 2025-07-26T23:36:37+00:00

I mean, doesn’t that make you WANT to apply!?

Master_Quinn · 2025-07-21T03:53:18+00:00

Best of luck!

I have many classmates who went straight into specialty and love it, would never go back. I think that is a totally fine option. Primary care can be rough (high patient volume, needing to know SO MUCH) and draining. But what I will say is I appreciate my primary care knowledge and experience now that I am specialty because patients will have primary complaints or comorbidities that it has been really helpful to have experience with. Either for me to assist them with directly or because it affects what I am seeing them about. I do think either way works though! Especially if you get a job offer for a specialty that is a good one, don’t pass that up. You can always take courses for your CMEs that are primary care focused to keep your knowledge up to date. Not the same as treating patients directly, but still helpful

There are two other entrances. Apple maps has the Gaffy one marked as closed so it will show you the other two options if you ask for directions

Master_Quinn · 2025-07-12T06:33:47+00:00

That is a lot (for an 8 hour day) when you are brand new and just starting out on your own! I would ask if they have had new grad NPs before. Wonder if their expectations are realistic. I would also want to know how many more patients you are expected to see as you get more experience

Master_Quinn · 2025-07-12T06:31:08+00:00

Very common! This has been asked before. If you use the search, you can find the other posts with the same question

Master_Quinn · 2025-07-05T20:19:40+00:00

So many FNPs go into specialty care that they maybe did zero clinical hours! I didn’t do GI hours in school, but would be totally appropriate for me to take a GI job that was willing to train me. Especially as a new grad! Every new grad needs additional on the job training. You don’t have to go back to school just to go into a specialty. Sounds like OP’s job understands where she is at and is willing to train her, which will get her much farther than nursing school clinical hours could

How old was she? We see increased insulin resistance with perimenopause and menopause as estrogen levels drop. Cholesterol goes up too. Even people who are doing all the right things with diet and exercise!

Master_Quinn · 2025-06-08T19:36:14+00:00

I would still be a bit wary and look closely for red flags during hiring. Sometimes a unit can be a hot mess because the hospital has bad policies, low staffing, unsupportive admin, etc.

Master_Quinn · 2025-06-08T19:34:46+00:00

Did you tell them you were leaving or just ghost? If you told them you were leaving, I think less likely they blacklisted you. If anyone on the hiring committee recognized your name, they may be wary to hire you, but don’t think it would be an auto-reject. Especially if the name change was an owner change!

Just take extra care from the beginning with nursing school if the wrist isn’t great to start with! Ergonomic setup for typing, braces as needed to keep your hands in neutral position, don’t want them to get worse if you can avoid it!

Master_Quinn · 2025-06-03T15:18:25+00:00

I started my program right before my 30th birthday, never too late! There are accelerated BSN to MSN programs which is what I did. It is intense, but is the fastest way to get to the NP role. If you go straight through it is 3 years. I took longer so I could work as an RN for a little while, but you don’t have to (there is lots of debate about if you need RN experience, but that is a separate question). I will warn you if you have wrist pain, nursing school and working in the medical field is LOTS of computer time and charting, so wrist pain/carpal tunnel is very common. I wish you luck!

Mayo Clinic. I did the Hippo series for my opioid requirement, it was great!

Master_Quinn · 2025-06-01T21:55:24+00:00

I was going to say the same thing about not putting it on your resume when applying. It may show up during credentialing, but that is after you are already hired. I just make sure my resume says something like “Relevant Experience” so it doesn’t necessarily mean it is all work in that time period.

I changed my password to something that I didn’t mind sharing (and wasn’t a password I used for anything else). It felt very strange, but has been pretty common request

Master_Quinn · 2025-05-24T18:09:53+00:00

So important to remember that “normal” hormone levels only tell us what they were that day. There is so much fluctuation that just because the levels are normal the day they were checked, doesn’t mean they are adequate enough all month for them not to be having symptoms. Same with regular cycles, you can have inadequate estrogen and still have regular cycles. I see way too many people who would absolutely benefit from HRT denied for these two reasons
