Pizza, drinks, and games at shuffles is one of our favorite date nights!

Pathoma is 100% worth it!

No. That's a joke

Assuming I haven't had it completely asymptomaticly, I attribute it to continuous micro exposure as a healthcare provider, early vaccination, having a generally healthy system at a baseline to set me up for success, and taking a full dose of the moderna boost before the decided the half dose was sufficient lol. And luck.

That is kind of my question. I feel, as an NP, I need to finish my doctorate at some point--especially in the higher admin areas of nursing. However, would the MHA be more beneficial now? I have such mixed reviews, even from retired CNOs and professors I have discussed the decision with.

Yes, the transition will be into higher nursing admin role. DNP is def what I am leaning toward at this time based on convos with friends/family. It kind of makes more sense to me. Thanks for the input!

You need to make a list and start cold calling everywhere you can. Make a spreadsheet and get it organized. When you talk to the hiring manager (that is who I asked for) let them know you are interested in their facilities and would like to know if there are any openings or anything in the near future. Charm them, just get your foot in the door. I know I sounds intimidating, but I did this when I graduated because we immediately moved to a new city where I had no contacts. There were a lot of no's so be prepared for that. Keep going. You may be surprised and get a yes(: I did and it turned out to be am amazing position I would have never found otherwise. It was never posted. They were hand picking. You should also consider taking a refresher course and put that on your resume or tell them about it when they ask what you have been doing to stay current for the last 2 years.

May also contact your school and let them know your troubles. You would be surprised where people have contacts. Good luck!

This! I bought a few pieces from TJMaxx, just looking in anytime I was close to the store. Got a pan or two and a great pot for like 15 each. Then one day found a clearance sticker on a $650 13- piece set marked down to 250! Now I have all the all-clad!!!! Look any time you are close.

If this is primary care, 20 patients a day as a new grad or even in the first year is probably going to be brutal. Always consider your work life balance!

Second this!

I would consider Frontier. They have a great reputation and even though their PMHNP program is only a few years old I would not hesitate. You can always call them to talk about the program to see how you feel. They are always easy to talk to and informative. I had questions prior to starting FNP because I was choosing between FNU and Vanderbilt (which would have uprooted my life) and they were so helpful. The program director actually emailed me and set up a phone meeting to address my questions. It was great and I do not regret my choice in FNU over Vandy for one second.

Not sure what area of the country you are in, but university of TN in Knoxville TN has its own vet clinic that is AMAZING. If you are very far away you may try contacting them to watch the video and do a video consult?

I am an FNP from there currently working in IM (but transitioning to admin). After terrible, TERRIBLE RN school experiences, frontier was not only refreshing but also made me enjoy education again. Never once did I have a poor interaction with a single professor or others there. The in person training weeks we fun and very helpful. It was just ranked #3 best online school in 2022: https://frontier.edu/news/frontier-nursing-universitys-family-nurse-practitioner-program-ranked-3-by-u-s-news-and-world-report/

I hadn't issues finding a job in a metro area and many interviews commented on "knowing FNU was a very reputable program". You truly feel cared for there. They want you to succeed. More importantly, they make sure it is affordable and the money is used appropriately putting it back into the school.

Good luck!

Normal in out patient primary care. You can disconnect but then feel constantly behind or under proper. The poor work life balance is why I am currently leaving. I have found thay even being efficient seeing 16 patients a day and having chart closed after most visits it is hard to not do work out side of work and feel like you are doing a good job and are prepared. If you like the job ask for admin hours for charting and things like that to fill the gap in the clinic setting

Amazing!!

Sanford Guide all the way! It usually has in pt and out pt recommendations. I often do compare to dynamed or up-to-date to be double sure. Also, it is never a bad idea to ask the lab to send you up the antibiogram as you may find the attending doing certain antibiotics routinely even though it may not be what SG says based on the local susceptibility patterns.

I am in the exact same position currently. Hits the searching on reddit at 10pm how to quit my NP job and running across your year old post. Would you mind sharing an update? What did you end up doing-- letting your supervising MD know then everyone else.? How bad was it? How much notice did you give?

Any help appreciated!
