   The solution is to have more GOOD schools and/or to increase spaces at existing GOOD schools, not have a bunch of poor quality schools churning out poor quality grads.

2. ADN Program worth it?

   FullGlass replied to Julia N.'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't do it. For an ADN, your best bet is a community college. That would save you a lot of $. Once you have your RN, then you can do a bridge to BSN program, which many employers will pay for.

3. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

   FullGlass replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism

   Amen. Recently, I have been feeling ashamed of being an NP because of all the bad NPs now being churned out by diploma mills. I am also dismayed at how many users of this forum openly ask for the fastest and easiest schools for becoming an NP. Giv...

4. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

   FullGlass replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism

   Personally, I think the real issue with the for-profit schools is the lack of admissions standards. They will pretty much accept anyone with a pulse. So they get a lot of crap students who then become crap providers. There are also some good s...

   FullGlass replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism

   If they are students, then of course they are not yet ready to be an NP! That is the definition of a student! Your job as a preceptor is to help them get ready. If they knew everything, then they wouldn't need a preceptor!

8. Questions about withdrawals

   Both of them are for-profit diploma mills. There are plenty of reputable nonprofit schools out there, so please go to one of those.

10. What is the best area to work in for psych experience that is not psych?

    FullGlass replied to nathaliasosa's topic in Psychiatric

    Working in the ER will likely expose you to psych emergencies. Also, oncology. Neurology would also expose you to psych issues. If the hospital has orthopedics or similar, working with chronic pain pts will also provide related psych experience as...

11. Is hospital experience required for FNP application?

    FullGlass replied to AMH24's topic in NP Students

    Either one is fine. However, if you want to work in primary care, then primary care experience will be more beneficial, as it will be related to what you will be doing. If you think you would like specialize in ambulatory cardiology as an NP, then ...

    For-profit schools are ruining the nursing profession and should be outlawed.

14. AGAC, AGPC, or FNP?

    FullGlass replied to NewRookie's topic in Advanced

    Just because someone is an RN, does not mean NP is automatically the best next step for them. PA is a better option for some people. It depends on what kind of work the person wants to do. PAs can perform some procedures and surgeries. Even an Em...

15. Ceased placement due to not taking vital signs properly

    FullGlass replied to Kirsten Kurian's topic in General Students

    What school are you going to? From what you said, the placement site completely over-reacted. You are a student! Of course you are not going to know everything. Your school should have assigned someone from the school to be the liason between you...
