  2. Is shortening nursing schools a good idea?

    FullGlass replied to Mickeyii's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not sure what the OP means by "shortening nursing school." Does this refer to leaving stuff out of the curriculum or does this refer to Accelerated BSN programs? State BONs require certain...

  4. Unprofessional surveyor

    FullGlass replied to 1 tired nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I live in California and have been able to find attorneys willing to sue the state. There are some firms that specialize in that. Do some Googling to find

  5. I want to be a medical laboratory scientist, but I'm a foreigner.

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

    I don't know anything about being a laboratory scientist. If you want to immigrate to the U.S., then research which profession is most needed in the U.S. We definitely need more nurses, and...

  6. CA BON hasn't posted license

    FullGlass replied to username0708's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    California is notoriously slow in processing RN and NP licenses. Their website says 10-12 weeks for new licenses (by exam): https://www.RN.ca.gov/times.shtml You might want to also apply...

  7. Unprofessional surveyor

    FullGlass replied to 1 tired nurse's topic in General Nursing

    To OP: You should report the wage withholding to your state labor board, as it is likely against the law. Check the labor laws in your state first, but I doubt this is legal in any

  9. How to choose a PMHNP program

    FullGlass replied to Ellgee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    1. Does the school provide clinical placements? Schools that do are usually more expensive, but it is money well spent. It is not easy to find a clinical placement, especially in a sensitive field...

    FullGlass replied to MJ650's topic in General Students

  12. Question about A&P 1 Class

    FullGlass replied to Christina Haney's topic in General Students

    I had to drop Anatomy the first time I took it b/c I was unprepared for all the memorization. You might want to take Anatomy separately from Physiology. Think about how you can best memorize...

  13. Clinical Commute Question

    FullGlass replied to StudentNursing3717's topic in General Students

    Whether that is a "doable" commute is based on your individual tolerance level. When I was in nursing school I had to get up at 5 or 5:30 am sometimes based on when the clinical started and where it...

  14. Unprofessional surveyor

    FullGlass replied to 1 tired nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to get a 2nd opinion. While many attorneys are reluctant to sue the government, there are some that specialize in this. Do some googling to find these for your state. Many lawyers do...

  15. Unprofessional surveyor

    FullGlass replied to 1 tired nurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you can prove the surveyor is stalking you on social media, then report them to their employer! There are ways to track where the person is posting from, even if they are trying to disguise...

  16. Low GPA hitting road blocks

    FullGlass replied to ERNurseHailey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will share my experience in the hope it will help others. I started my ABSN program at the age of 53, after a successful business career. Becoming an NP was my midlife crisis. 🙂 My...

  17. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    These practitioners may be in high demand, but very few people can afford to pay cash for such appointments. Building a practice without accepting insurance is not easy. Please do not mislead people...

  18. School Dilemma in NYC

    FullGlass replied to pattipepperoni's topic in General Students

    It seems Mt Sinai and BMCC are your best bets, but you have not been accepted by either program yet. I suggest you wait until you are accepted by at least 1

  19. How to finish BSN

    FullGlass replied to samuel.gorelik's topic in General Students

    I strongly urge you to appeal to your school advisor, professor and even Dean, if you have to. Beg and grovel if you must, to be allowed to finish the program. During my ABSN, one of my clinical...

  20. LPN nursing school student single mom

    FullGlass replied to erinMD92's topic in General Students

    Nursing is an excellent career choice. You need to retake 4 nursing prereq classes. I suggest you do this gradually. Take 2 classes at a time and no more, as it sounds like you have a lot on your...

  21. Failed my Fundamentals and Pharmacology Class in the second semester of nursing school.

    FullGlass replied to Daisy Nursing's topic in General Students

    That is wonderful! So glad things worked out OK. When I was in nursing school, I struggled at times. My professors told me not to be embarassed about talking to them and asking for help. In...

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

    To OP: you have received good advice so far. I have a minor disagreement w/JPHeeler. Write down what happened for your private use only. This type of journaling can help you reconstruct what...

  23. NEW GRAD PSYCH NURSE NEED ADVISEMENT

    FullGlass replied to JLOR's topic in Nursing Career

  24. Need advice - is this malingering?

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

    Thank you for your response. Legally, this pt is an independent adult. My professional opinion is that this pt is NOT permanently disabled. It would be best for them to work PT or volunteer PT....

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a PMHNP and in charge of recruiting for our practice. Just want to make a few comments: 1. I get a lot of resumes from new NP grads that are a little puzzling. The person graduated from...
