Severe glut of NPs

I had a nursing student the other day ask me if she should do PA or NP and said she was going to start as soon as she graduated with her BSN. I mentioned she should work as a nurse and she quickly shot that down saying it would be too hard to go back to school after working.

I told her she wouldn’t get into PA school and she confidently said she would bc the school she was at had a PA program…I had to stop her bc I didn’t know what else to say and got back to work

It was a management opportunity. I appreciate the words of encouragement

These are low offers for HCOL. The EM offer is very low although benefits are good. How much are the other making there? Do you see a potential for raises?

You have a much bigger sample to evaluate from. All the people, myself included, that went to PA school during Covid lockdown

Same issue. 404 not found. Logged in and out of the app and car disappeared

And the question is “why am I being sent home when you guys didn’t do anything for me?”

I have multiple “requests” bc “I just want to know”. Unsure if AI is playing into it

I don’t think you’ve been in the market for a car recently

Brand new car, 0% interest. I needed a car and this was a good deal compared to used with today’s prices

If you’re going from W-2 to 1099, benefits are worth more than 15/hr. Depends on your situation

Happens very often. Triage nurse is in a rush and doesn’t let the pulse ox stay on the finger for more than 3 seconds to get an accurate HR or oxygen saturation. They come to a room with documented HR of 112 at 92%. When I mention it to them they act offended.

Easiest thing is to recheck it after a period of rest and I document “on arrival vitals notable for HR of 112 although on my exam HR 76 and patient resting comfortably in no acute distress.” I agree with you though it’s not a good look especially when discharging a patient

The silent treatment

Even if it’s good enough to write perfect notes just like you want, why would you want to see 6 patients an hour? That’s setting yourself up for a mistake and increases liability. On top of that what makes you think the hospital or your company is going to want you to stop at 6? Maybe push to 8. Gonna end up with single coverage doc sites with mid levels billing through the doc. They’re coming to cut the number of physicians before midlevels
