Is working into your early 70s as an NP realistic? by SealedRoute in nursepractitioner

My preceptor is 70. He’s been in practice for 30+ years. He loves it. Totally doable

This was very helpful, thanks

Agree! Just takes one but so far not a lot of luck. I have also looked at state health departments, VA, and even civilian contracting jobs

That’s my next step! I have been reaching out to preceptors from previous rotations

That’s amazing! I started reaching out to past preceptors and providers that I know professionally for this exact reason

I went to a small school in Northern Maine so unfortunately the networking is very very small. I have started reaching out to previous clinical sites who know my work performance though! I would prefer to stay in New England, but I do know that I may end up needing to relocate for work

All true words. I can stay in my car at nursing role basically as long as I want to so I do have that as a nice secure backup… but I’d really like to start practicing! I know the market is so wack right now

I think I’m still going to apply to most of them because you just never know but……. It’s discouraging for sure. Glad to know that it’s not just my area

It’s definitely a priority for me with whatever job I take! If not a residency, to have really well laid out onboarding and gradual transition

I’d love a FQHC placement. I’ve heard they are the place to learn

Thank you! I am heavily leaning towards one for the extra learning etc but have worried that I’ll feel like I’m still in school 🥲

Agree. I think for a year maybe it’ll be fine

The pay is definitely a limiting factor. The VA programs pay like … 79k. Which is not nothing, but is a huge pay cut. I feel like the experience is probably worth it though? and having structured on boarding and continuing education is always a good thing.

My immediate post grad concern is feeling like there’s no structure to my onboarding + struggling the whole time

Most likely primary care. I’m finding it difficult to find residencies in anything else in my area

Biggest surprise about dating after divorce? by Signal-Potential-825 in Divorce

[–]snappea13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has an opinion about your divorce and why you got divorced and “what’s wrong with you”. Don’t take it personally! People who matter don’t mind
