1. Should I go into Nursing - Portland

   FullGlass replied to Ellak's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Nurse practitoner is my second career. I had a successful business career before becoming an NP. My initial undergrad GPA was horrible! LOL I had a lot of family and personal issues when I was young. However, on my nursing prereqs I had somethi...

2. Heartbreak and nursing program

   FullGlass replied to Herc1201's topic in General Students

   I am so sorry you are going through this. Breaking up can be very heartbreaking. However, if you are still unable to function properly in school after two months, please seek help. Talk to your academic advisor and let them know what is going on -...

3. Northern Kentucky University (NKU) - You get what you pay for

   FullGlass replied to Ally4587's topic in NP Students

   Caveat emptor. NP students need to make the effort to go to reputable schools! It is not that hard. Online NP schools are a BAD idea. So do yourself a favor if you are contemplating NP school and go to a reputable school!

4. Can I still go to nursing school with an academic dishonesty charge?

   FullGlass replied to anonymoussss's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If it is not on your transcript, then it doesn't matter. You can request a copy of your official transcript to be sure there is nothing on there. The nursing schools just get your transcript and that is all.

5. New NP grad RN-NP

   FullGlass replied to CitySoul's topic in NP

   Employers are not expecting a new grad NP to have relevant experience other than their school clinicals. If you are looking to work in a hospital, then your RN experience will be helpful. So you are no different than most new grad NPs. Yes, it...

6. Which path do I take?

   FullGlass replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you. You can search for my post on that subject. Yes, I agree that directly relevant experience can be helpful for an NP, especially for acute care roles in a hospital. But that is not true of the majority of RNs looking to become NPs - mos...

7. Which path do I take?

   FullGlass replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Why are you challenging my PERSONAL experience? Do you know me? I stand that quote, which is based on my PERSONAL experience. Others may have different experiences.

8. Which path do I take?

   FullGlass replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Respectfully, you are incorrect. RN work experience is not required to be a good NP. I have written about this and have even posted a mini evidence review on this topic on this site. NPs that go straight from their BSN into an NP Program do just a...

9. California educational requirements - out of state absn

   FullGlass replied to Murseca's topic in General Students

   There is nothing wrong with going to a school outside of California. Just make sure the CA BON will accept all classes. A school that is unwilling or unable to provide confirmation that the CA BON will accept their classes is suspicious. I...

10. California educational requirements - out of state absn

    FullGlass replied to Murseca's topic in General Students

    A school that won't provide information on this is not a good sign. I have heard of CA BON not accepting graduates of some schools for licensure. Why don't you go to a school in CA if you want to work here? Also, ask the schools if they have C...

11. Got my Pre-Nursing done. What's next?

    FullGlass replied to Katie Kaczka's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Talk to an academic advisor at your school. You can also call the admissions offices of nursing schools you are interested in for more info. This info should also be right on their websites - if it isn't, call them!

12. University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) Online Pre-reqs extended studies

    FullGlass replied to Luna28's topic in Programs Support

    It should be fine. I did a lot of my prereqs through UCLA Extended Studies and got into Johns Hopkins and UCLA. The course description in the catalog indicates if the class is transferable to a UC or State College. You can also call the nursing sc...

13. My body cannot take bedside nursing anymore

    FullGlass replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    Some really good suggestions have been offered. One of my nursing school instructors was an RN that became a talk therapist. Our mental health practice also has a talk therapist that was an RN. This would allow you to continue to nurture patients,...

14. Frontier Nursing University / University of West Florida - Scared of FNP school rejection?

    FullGlass replied to GInurse2017's topic in NP Students

    Please calm down. You should be accepted by at least 1 school. Good luck.

15. New grad job dilemma

    FullGlass replied to Sunnyking12's topic in NP

    As an FNP, you are NOT qualified for a hospitalist position! I don't care if the hospital wants to hire you, do NOT take this job. You are setting yourself up for a huge liability risk. You must practice within the scope of your education and trai...
