I got lucky and got picked up by a specialty while I was working as a new grad in primary. I was seeing 30-34 pts per day with no admin time because I had not met their quota. So I would be home charting after my 10 hr shifts. Just started my new job and it feels too good to be true
Congrats!
Congrats 🎊
Incredible. Same here and was just let go due to “re-structuring”
How nice! May I ask what specialty it is? How do you like it so far?
Yes what specialty offered you the job and don’t we have to complete our whole year before leaving the job? Weren’t you braking a contract agreement that you must work with the primary care clinic for a whole year?
Thanks for sharing. Your content has helped me so much! I graduate in July lord willing and the creek don't rise 💕
You got this!
I just failed the Nurse practitioner exam.😭😭😓 I cannot begin to articulate the level of embarrassment and heartache I'm feeling. 😥 I'm confident that I will be a good nurse . I just need to get past this, move on and persevere
Wow congrats 🎊
Well I've taken the exams for the second time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it
Thank you , great video
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for these tips, Liz! Another problem I can foresee, is that I am VERY awkward. When it comes to interviews, I can picture a situation where I am asking them these questions - how many pts per day? what is your expectation of me? any paid admin time? etc and they respond with 30 pts/day, no admin time, low salary, etc. do you have any tips for how to respond to this and how to remain professional during the interview when you are seeing red flags?
Thanks for your question Taylor. I think during an interview being calm and professional is a good place to start. When alarming red flags come up I would ask additional questions. Example:how do your providers currently see 30 patients a day? What is the support staff behind each provider? If you do not provide administrative time how do your current providers complete admin work? Also, I think it’s important to be transparent even when you turn down a position on why you’re turning down a position. This may help the employer adjust their expectations.
@@RealWorldNP thank you so much for your thoughtful reply :) these are good follow-up questions.
I work full time see 25 patients daily no admin time 🥺🥺🥺🥺 never knew about it. I don’t have any benefits for except for my 3 weeks vaca. Never see the doctors, only work with their medical assistant who bosses and rushes me around all day 😅 and makes sure I see all patients, walk ins sick tele calls etc. just stated this job I’m already burned out 😢
Ugh, hang in there, or maybe it's time to look around for something new?
Awwww, I’m sorry. I haven’t yet graduated but felt burned out at my primary care clinical rotation. I know for sure I don’t want to do primary care😢
Sounds toxic. Switch locations.
When do you suggest asking these questions? After an offer or during the interview?
If given the opportunity to ask during the interview and you feel comfortable I think that is a great time to ask. It also shows you are engaged and interested in the position.
