  6. ADN Program worth it?

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

    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

    FullGlass replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  8. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    FullGlass replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...

  11. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    FullGlass replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  14. 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...

  15. Is hospital experience required for FNP application?

    FullGlass replied to AMH24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  18. Adult-Gerontology Acute Care (AGAC), Adult Gerontology Primary Care (AGPC), or Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)?

    FullGlass replied to NewRookie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  19. 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...

    FullGlass replied to Yu-Hsuan Liang's topic in General Students

    FullGlass replied to stargurl2006's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Only you know if becoming an NP is worth it to you. While you said you can't move out of state, are there other locations within your state with better job prospects? Also, I'm curious as to why you...
