  1. EKU PMHNP opinions?

    FullGlass replied to antnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I must disagree vehemently with this post. I am not invalidating the writer's experience, but this is not the "macro" state of being a PMHNP. PMHNP is one of the higher paid specialties,...

  2. Can I even work as an NP at this point?

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

    1 year is not too long for you to get an NP job. I've known a lot of new NPs that continued working as RNs for about a 1 year or so before getting their 1st NP job. Why don't you go ahead and...

  3. Online or In person?

    FullGlass replied to Lindzg87's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You should not assume a school is out of your price range. Apply and see what kind of financial aid they offer you. The better private schools like Hopkins and Vanderbilt have big endowments and...

  4. Is Walden a good school for pysch NP?

    FullGlass replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Here is why I will not precept for a student from Walden: I am a PMHNP working for a very large outpatient telehealth practice. Yesterday, out of the blue, I received an email from someone from...

  5. Online or In person?

    FullGlass replied to Lindzg87's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Did they discuss finding clinicals? Are these for-profit schools? DO NOT go to a for-profit school. I was just contacted by Walden and offered $1500 to precept a student. I refused. Many...

  6. Online or In person?

    FullGlass replied to Lindzg87's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are a lot of online and hybrid programs now. Many programs are hybrid - either certain classes are in person or everything is online, except the students come to the campus once per semester...

  7. Online or In person?

    FullGlass replied to Lindzg87's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The most important criteria in selecting an NP school is whether or not they find clinical placements for you. ONLY attend a school that will find the clinical placements! Most schools now offer...

  8. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

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

    While there is no harm in talking to an admissions rep, it is not likely to yield much beyond basic information. More on that below. I'm not sure what you mean by academic advisor. An...

  9. Advice

    FullGlass replied to ZoeZ's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You should be fine. Your most recent GPA is 4.0 so far, and that will carry more weight. I am so sorry about your mother. As you mentioned, just explain why your ADN GPA was lower. It is...

  10. Choosing an accelerated program

    FullGlass replied to JP_FR8823's topic in General Students

    I completed an ABSN at Johns Hopkins. They no longer offer this degree. I was in the 16-month program and it was intense, but doable. I graduated on the Dean's List and was eligible to join the...

  11. Looking Into a Program

    FullGlass replied to Michael McCosker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Normally, for someone with a Bachelor's degree in a non-nursing field, I would recommend an Accelerated BSN (ABSN). However, these are very intense, fast-paced programs and you really can't work more...

  12. Already Burnt out

    FullGlass replied to sarena33's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The OP is describing a clinic engaged in insurance fraud, as well as unethical behavior. Some of what is described may be illegal, depending on state law. This facility may also be in violation of...

  13. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

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

    My goal in providing advice on this thread is to help the OP and other students with similar situations GET ACCEPTED by an NP Program. I want to emphasize that when considering applications,...

  14. Defer LPN Program in NC

    FullGlass replied to PNStudent24's topic in School, College Programs

    I am so sorry you are going through this. You need to ask the school about deferment. No one here has the definitive answer for your school. Best

  15. LTC/SNF Contract

    FullGlass replied to Tanusha7's topic in Advanced Practice

    Why don't you contact them and ask them about the RVU pay? The people here can't answer this. As for being on-call, what does "when the facility needs me" mean? You have a right to request...

  16. New England Institute of Tech FNP program

    FullGlass replied to jlresend's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This should be moved to the Student NP

  17. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

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

    I will say this again and again, because it is something many people do not know: If you get a D or F in a course, and you retake it at the same school and get a grade of C or better, only the higher...

  18. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

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

    Hello, I am so sorry for your struggles. I totally understand - it is perfectly understandable that your coursework wasn't top priority that that time. Hope you and your mother are doing okay...

  19. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

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

    No one is going to get into a 1st or 2nd tier NP Program with an F on their transcript as their most recent coursework. End of story. Community college is not expensive for state residents....

  20. New Grad jobs aside from floor positions

    FullGlass replied to iccul84's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is too soon to be so concerned about this. You haven't even started nursing school yet. In school, you will receive a lot of training on various nursing skills, like inserting Foley...

  21. RN - LPN Power Struggle

    FullGlass replied to MuscleNurse's topic in School

    The OP works as a school nurse. While LPNs generally aren't working in most hospitals, I have seen them in many other settings, such as nursing homes and primary

  22. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

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

    You are completely missing the point. And unfortunately, you are not giving very good advice here. It takes a lot of money and time to apply to schools, and giving poor advice is a great...

  23. 2017 Grad. Rejected from Grad School x2

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

    An F never looks good and it certainly pulls down the GPA. The OP needs to retake the class, whether or not it is required, and get at least a B. If they do that, then the F will not appear on the...

  24. New York University (NYU) nursing - is it worth it?

    FullGlass replied to shirlsssss14's topic in School, College Programs

    1. Loans are based on the cost of school one is attending. Prospective students do not get loans before they are accepted! 2. DO NOT go to shoddy for-profit schools like Walden, etc. I won't...

  25. New York University (NYU) nursing - is it worth it?

    FullGlass replied to shirlsssss14's topic in School, College Programs

    You will definitely get a good aid package, then. Please do not just passively wait for an aid package form the school. Do some research and apply for other scholarships as well, as I explained....
