Pros
Pay is decent, can work remotely
Cons
Back to back patients all day with no admin time. 25 minute unpaid lunch break. No say in who you accept as patients, no ability to discharge anyone without checking with and getting approval from MD supervisor (despite MN being an Independent Practice state for NPs and not needing a collaborating MD). VERY low 401k match. Mandatory case collaboration with MD supervisor weekly, but have to work extra one day a week to make up this time, EVEN THOUGH IT IS REQUIRED. Have to see people for new patient evals even when they did not turn in any patient history forms, consents, records, etc., and at this point that is MOST of the new patient appointments. Patients can be up to 25 minutes late for eval and we are still required to see them and complete eval appointment. Pts not held to any standard or level of accountability; everything is on the provider.
