  1. Odd Work Letter Request by Patient

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Received a rather odd letter request from a patient today. We are all used to writing letters such as the patient needs time off, they are safe to do their jobs while taking their prescription meds,...

  2. Walden University or University of South Carolina - Which FNP school?

    FullGlass replied to myrka168's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You need to talk to someone at Univ of South Carolina. Walden is one of the for-profit diploma

  3. Odd Work Letter Request by Patient

    FullGlass replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not suggesting NPs work 1-2 hrs OT every day. My first job was in a rural primary care clinic where the providers had to write their own letters for pts, fill out disability forms, etc. At that...

  4. Odd Work Letter Request by Patient

    FullGlass replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just want to add that many NPs on this forum have complained they want to be paid more. It seems unfair that their appts are reimbursed at almost the same rate as MDs, but NPs make a lot less....

  5. Odd Work Letter Request by Patient

    FullGlass replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I must disagree. 1. As highly paid professionals, we do not have a 9 to 5 job. Sorry, but that is the brutal truth. Other professionals, like doctors, business people, lawyers, and...

  6. Pre Nursing Student Desperate for Advice

    FullGlass replied to nurse200003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you can become a nurse! Hang in there. I am very sorry you have faced so many challenges, but you have also proved you are able to overcome those challeges and have been able to earn a decent...

  7. Lack of reviews for nursing instructors

    FullGlass replied to Midgette1985's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure how helpful this would be. Most nursing students have little choice on their professors, as these programs tend to be highly

  8. Advice for which PMHNP program?

    FullGlass replied to ki1717's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you for clarifying. CONGRATULATIONS! Honestly, CUNY is very tempting as it is free. Perhaps contact them to ask if they have an assistance with finding preceptors. In addition,...

  9. Advice for which PMHNP program?

    FullGlass replied to ki1717's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First, you need to apply to multiple schools because you won't get into every school and you also need to see which school gives you the best financial aid package. Just because the "list price" for...

  10. Am I being strung along or misinterpeting potential employer?

    FullGlass replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    Good

  11. Am I being strung along or misinterpeting potential employer?

    FullGlass replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    I'd call their bluff, so to speak. Tell them that you have another job offer. You still rate them as your top choice, but you need to make a decision in a timely fashion. Give them 1 week to make...

  12. Feeling defeated with NCLEX... I need serious help.

    FullGlass replied to Hardcore Believers's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am very sorry you are going through this. However, you are not alone. The NCLEX is a very strange test and many people have to take it multiple times before passing. Perhaps you should trying...

  13. Sutter Roseville Medical Center

    FullGlass replied to PropofolPRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm not with Sutter, but doctors have told me they are the best place to work in the Sacramento area due to great

  14. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

    FullGlass replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is a very unrealistic statement. The USA does not have guaranteed employment because we have a capitalist economic system. So no, no one has a right to live in "desireable cities and make a...

  15. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

    FullGlass replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are discussing 2 separate issues: 1. NP diploma mills - I agree with you that we should not have these. So how would you suggest NPs advocate against these? 2. NP "saturation." There...

  16. RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    FullGlass replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While I have some skepticism around the COVID vaccine, I get all the vaccines required by my job. That is because I have bills to pay. I don't have the luxury of not having to work. In...

  17. Final Semester Student

    FullGlass replied to justtryingtosurvive's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Go to the Dean. Reputable nursing schools want a very low failure rate - they want everyone to graduate. I suggest a group of you make an appointment with the Dean. Bring supporting materials....

  18. NP to physician... is it possible?

    FullGlass replied to FamNP123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Of course you can become an MD. However, you must go to med school. It is very hard to get into med school, so if you are serious, then you will have to go to the school that accepts you. That...

  19. Struggling with skills

    FullGlass replied to Alyvia Michaels's topic in General Students

    Hello, Hang in there! I also struggled with skills during my ABSN. Some people just take longer to learn them. 1. Ask your instructor about extra help/practice programs. Sometimes they...

  20. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

    FullGlass replied to emERgency.nurse17's topic in General Students

    I must disagree. When I graduated from Johns Hopkins, I had multiple job offers. When I went to the interviews over and over I was told "We wanted to talk to you because you went to Hopkins."...

  21. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

    FullGlass replied to emERgency.nurse17's topic in General Students

    I must disagree with you. Many hiring managers care where the NP got their degree. I am a hiring manager and I do not hire NPs who only went to for-profit schools. I am also more interested when I...

    I sent you a Priv

  23. NP named Unsung Hero by NPR

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NPR published this story today about an NP who helped a patient with a persistent cough. This was due to a very interesting condition. It was also nice to read a positive news story about an NP and...

  24. PNP Aacute care/ Primary care

    FullGlass replied to jessaaro's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's great. If you want to work in primary care, I advise getting the credential. It can be hard to get that first NP job. Once you have 1 year of experience, it will get much easier. If you...

  25. PNP Aacute care/ Primary care

    FullGlass replied to jessaaro's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you are certified in Acute Care, then it is not a good idea to take a primary care role. And vice versa. There are serious liability issues here. In addition, your education was in acute care,...
