  1. 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...

  2. 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...

  3. 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....

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  6. 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."...

  7. 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...

  9. 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...

  10. 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...

  11. 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,...

  12. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    People pick the specialty they are interested in and want to work in. FNP pay is really going up, at least on the West Coast, and is approaching PMHNP pay. Mental health is a difficult specialty -...

  13. RN with 25+ years burnout. What next?

    FullGlass replied to Biff's topic in General Nursing

    She might just need a break. She can go out on temporary disability for 3 months, or whatever seems needed. Her primary care provider can process the paperwork for this request. Or she may want to...

  14. MA or CNA prior to NS general education?

    FullGlass replied to KirbyK05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did the CNA program through the Red Cross prior to starting nursing school. It gave me hands on patient care experience. Several of my classmates in nursing school worked part-time as CNAs, so it...

  15. Finishing my Nursing Degree - 20 years on!

    FullGlass replied to Rachel Hurst's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to be a nurse, go for it! You will probably have to start over, as it has been a long time since you took classes. I started an accelerated BSN at age 53, become an NP at age 57. I went...

  16. Experience

    FullGlass replied to MoLo's topic in Advanced Practice

    So, you have nothing to back up your opinions and comments. Thank you for clarifying. Whether you intended it or not, yes, you are putting down NPs by implying there is some nefarious plot involving...

  17. Experience

    FullGlass replied to MoLo's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is a very far stretch of an accusation. Please provide evidence to back it up: 1. Did the pharm companies lobby for FPA? I'm not aware of this happening. 2. With regard to more...

  18. Odd Work Letter Request by Patient

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

    We just wrote a letter stating the pt has been seen here from start date to end date. They are no longer a pt and we are no longer prescribing medication. There really is nothing else we can...

    FullGlass replied to MoLo's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have just posted my article under Specialties - Nurse Practitioner. It is titled: Does RN experience improve NP competency. It is a "mini" evidence

  20. Experience

    FullGlass replied to MoLo's topic in Advanced Practice

    At least for competitive NP programs, even though RN work experience may not be a requirement for primary care NP admissions, pretty much all admitted students have some sort of patient care...

  21. Experience

    FullGlass replied to MoLo's topic in Advanced Practice

    FPA for NPs is here, like it or not. At some point, all 50 states will have it. The Veterans Admin also has FPA. Should we better prepare NPs, especially in FPA states, with NP residencies?...

  22. Experience

    FullGlass replied to MoLo's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thank you for the congratulations. I never intended to attack NPs with RN experience as a group. Just because RN experience is not necessary to become a good primary care NP; that does not...

  24. Experience

    FullGlass replied to MoLo's topic in Advanced Practice

    Please provide evidence for this statement. I went to Johns Hopkins. They are not exactly desperate for applicants. So when schools like Hopkins, Yale, UCLA, etc., decide that RN experience is not...

  25. Experience

    FullGlass replied to MoLo's topic in Advanced Practice

    You seem rather defensive. No one is putting down your ER RN experience. It's great that you benefited from your ER RN experience when you became an NP. However, that does not mean that NPs w/o ER...
