Do Nurse Practitioners deal with aggressive patients less than bedside nurses? I've been assaulted twice this year, and I'm seriously considering going back to school. Is the NP role generally safer, or am I being unrealistic?

Wow I am sorry to hear that. None of our NP's have been assaulted, I can tell you that much. I can't say the same for the nurses.

If safety is your main motivator, outpatient NP roles are a solid move. An inpatient or psych NP might not make a huge difference, though. Still some risk, just fewer direct care situations.

It’s less of your title and more where you work and who you’re dealing with. If you’re at a public institution or in a big city, I don’t think it matters.

Stay out of psychiatric hospital NP role. Out patient is safer. However, nurses and NP are assaulted every day. Stay out of the ED. Take a self defense class. Develop a 3rd eye. Scanning your work environment. If you are assaulted fight back. And press charges against the individual
Make a stand. Do not back down. It is called courage.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
