  1. Does RN experience improve NP competency?

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

    I essentially wrote a paper reviewing the evidence, and it concluded that RN experience is not required to be a good NP. There was not one single study to the contrary. Your anecdotal opinion does...

  2. Does RN experience improve NP competency?

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

    I'm sorry you have a problem, but the evidence does not support your view. In addition, it is highly unreasonable to demand that NPs that do not have the background you prefer have a different title....

  3. Did I ruin my chances?

    FullGlass replied to Jenny7's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm curious - how did the corrections management make you feel your RN license was in jeopardy? Was this because of actions you took as an RN there? If this a smaller town or city with only 1...

  4. Moving to California from Ontario, need advice/help navigating the licensure process

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

    Go to the Calif BON website to get answers to your questions. Getting a CA license takes a long time - so check the processing times on the Calif BON website. It is the hardest license to get of...

  5. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

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

    What is sad is the attitude of many prospective NPs and NPs that school doesn't matter - they openly ask for the easiest and fastest school, with no consideration of quality. My attitude is...

  6. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

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

    I am now in charge of recruiting for our practice. If I see an NP resume and the person has only gone to diploma mills, I pass. If someone has gone to reputable schools for part of their...

  7. Calif RNs - think very carefully if you really want to become an NP

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

    You are exactly the type of person that SHOULD become an NP! We need more people like you! Unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of RNs that don't think through whether or not they should be an...

  8. Future NP in need of advice

    FullGlass replied to ChronicallystrongRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations on acceptance to a PMHNP program! If you want to work remote, PMHNP is your best bet. However, there are options for RNs and FNPs to do telehealth. RNs can perform case...

  9. Calif RNs - think very carefully if you really want to become an NP

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

    In CA, RNs have a union. That is rare, and is also why CA RNs make more money. There are location differences - jobs in the SF Bay Area and Silicon Valley will pay more due to the higher cost...

  10. Calif RNs - think very carefully if you really want to become an NP

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

    If I was making $228,800 per year as a perm employee with great benefits, I'd hang on to that job for dear life! That is more than some MDs make. If RNs can make that kind of money, then why on...

  11. Calif RNs - think very carefully if you really want to become an NP

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

    Just a quick update: I was so shocked that the candidate said they are making $110 per hour as an RN that is a permanent employee, I did some research and it doesn't add up. $110 per hour x...

  12. 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,...

  13. 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

  14. 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...

  15. 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....

  16. 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...

  17. 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...

  18. 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

  19. 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,...

  20. 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...

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

    FullGlass replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    Good

  22. 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...

  23. 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...

  24. 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

  25. 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...
