  1. Comparing NP and MD Earning First 10 Years

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There has been a lot of discussion on NP vs MD pay lately and that NPs should make at least 85% of what MDs make, based on billing. I did a quick spreadsheet analysis of first 10 year earnings...

  2. Comparing NP and MD Earning First 10 Years

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

    It is up to you to run your own analyses. If you are an RN or NP, you should be more than capable of doing this, since I provided an example. The duties of a PMHNP are easily available with a...

  5. Dual Certification Dilemma: AACN vs. ANCC for Career Advancement

    FullGlass replied to alexyanet's topic in Advanced Practice

    I've never heard of an employer preferring a particular certification. They just want the NP to be board-certified. No need to waste time and money on 2 different

  6. Other Options

    FullGlass replied to JenMH88RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The OP just finished their MSN for the NP role. They are not qualified to be an instructor. Teaching also requires a lot of thinking. They could go back to being an RN, but that requires assessment...

  7. BIOLOGY/BIOCHEM DEGREE TO NP

    FullGlass replied to chemist11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I started nursing school at age 53. I told you what to do and you just throw up objections or refuse to follow good advice. Given your statements, you can't become an RN or an NP. Given your...

  8. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    That is not helpful. Most NPs who need a job need to find one within a reasonable period of time. While I agree NPs shouldn't "settle," you aren't providing any practical advice. In addition, the...

  10. Pre-nursing NO VAX program? ABSN Masters or ASN

    FullGlass replied to Nursemaybe's topic in General Students

    None. Even if the school does not require vaccinations, the clinical sites will. If you can't get a particular vaccine(s)for medical reasons, it may be waived. You will have to provide evidence...

  11. Dismissed from nursing program

    FullGlass replied to CK.'s topic in General Students

    I am so sorry for your loss. Yes, it is worth it to write a letter to the Dean. Explain the circumstances. Worst case, they just say no. If it's been over 1 year, it's almost 6 semesters, anyway....

  12. BIOLOGY/BIOCHEM DEGREE TO NP

    FullGlass replied to chemist11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Take heart. Yes, you can still be an RN and then an NP. 1. A not-so-great GPA is not the end of the world. You can fix that. More on that below. 2. Pick 3 or 4 nursing schools you would...

  13. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    1. I have never attacked the NP profession as a whole. Please explain how you arrived at this conclusion 2. "Being the epitome of a 'pick me' nurse" - what do you mean by that? I do not...

  14. The "Elite" NP

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Some on this forum seem to think that I think NPs should be satisfied with poor pay. Quite the contrary, as one can tell from reading my posts carefully. However, for something different, I...

  15. Need Psych Nurse perspective

    FullGlass replied to dizzycarrot's topic in Psychiatric

    I have provided the evidence in previous posts. Sorry, I can't find them, but you can search on my posts as well as using Google. Psych floor nursing could be useful for a future PMHNP, yes....

  16. Advanced Degree

    FullGlass replied to denstar's topic in Public, Community Health

    Some government jobs pay more if someone has a doctorate. You might want to find out if there is a pay boost for a DNP vs MPH. If there are dual programs, some might be online. For the good...

  17. The "Elite" NP

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

    I agree he is pushing Direct Primary Care. However, no need to pay him for info on how to do this. Plenty of free info out there:

  18. The "Elite" NP

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

    You really have a bee in your bonnet regarding me. You repeatedly make personal attacks on me, which is a sign of great insecurity on your part. I sincerely hope you learn to feel better about...

  19. The "Elite" NP

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

    You are referring to myoglobin. He hasn't been active lately. He definitely could stir up controversy! I know some clinicians that have wealthy patients and in private, they tell me most of...

  20. The "Elite" NP

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

    You appear to be projecting your feelings on to me. I am simply stating a fact. Your experience may be different, but the rich people in Beverly Hills and Silicon Valley who have to pay...

  21. Trying to Find a Reason to Stay in Nursing

    FullGlass replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    You sound burned out. Try something else besides bedside nursing, at least for awhile. You need a break. Nurses have a lot of other options besides bedside

  22. We can't eat

    FullGlass replied to vintagegal's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, you are very negative. The facts are that California IS doing more than other states. You have no evidence to refute what I said to support my position. If you think another state is doing...

  23. We can't eat

    FullGlass replied to vintagegal's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you are so bitter. I've thought about moving out of California, but when I take a close look at other states, there are only a couple that I would consider moving to. What is...

  24. Need Psych Nurse perspective

    FullGlass replied to dizzycarrot's topic in Psychiatric

    My point is that there is no reason at all to suggest OP do med-surg nursing if they are interested in psych. During my undergrad clinical rotation at an inpatient psych ward, a locked ward, the...

    Congratulations on graduating! You may want to expand your search to areas outside of the Bay Area. The Central Valley is generally underserved. Working in such an area would also provide an...
