Understanding New Grad Nurse Practitioner Job Offers

[@sandrazzzz403]

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!

[@heidijohnson1996]

Incredible. Same here and was just let go due to “re-structuring”

[@sciencescience9102]

How nice! May I ask what specialty it is? How do you like it so far?

[@dianerodriguez6546]

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?

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

[@divinemercy7331]

Well I've taken the exams for the second time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it

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 😢

[@RealWorldNP]

Ugh, hang in there, or maybe it's time to look around for something new?

[@sciencescience9102]

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.

[@samanthatallman-m4d]

When do you suggest asking these questions? After an offer or during the interview?

[@RealWorldNP]

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.

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?

[@RealWorldNP]

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.
