  1. Any advice for a new grad FNP's first job position?

    FullGlass replied to dt0327's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is normal for a new grad NP to require longer appointments initially. That is why most practices provide a ramp-up period. In addition to learning to see patients - history, physical, etc. - one...

  2. PMHNP Split questions

    FullGlass replied to SN2432's topic in Advanced Practice

    Can you be more specific? What do you mean by a 60/30 split? I'm surprised you are having trouble getting a job, as most areas of the US have a severe mental health care provider

  3. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    I truly appreciate you for starting this important discussion. You have made me do a lot of thinking and research. A lot of NPs are undoubtedly underpaid. At least in the Western U.S., I am...

  4. What happens when you report bullying?

    FullGlass replied to MissNurse43211's topic in General Students

    When I started my BSN, a group of students ridiculed me and made my lab life miserable because I was slow to learn "skills." I stood up to them and I also reported them to the instructor, who had...

  5. Failed Nursing School

    FullGlass replied to Mischka786's topic in General Students

    Try contacting the school to see if they will give you a retroactive medical withdrawal. Talk to them to see if you can reapply in the future, once your health issues have resolved. Frankly, I...

  6. Nurse Residency Background Check Question

    FullGlass replied to Akin2's topic in General Students

  9. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    FullGlass replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Has there been any research to support that the DNP leads to better patient care and outcomes? There has been a lot of research supporting: 1) BSN RNs provide better quality care, on average...

  10. NP Education Idea

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

    Some food for thought here. However, IMHO, unless the DNP becomes a clinical degree with additional clinical education and training, it really is not worth it. I actually think the MSN is...

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

    Thank you for your response. And good for you! However, your pay is on the high side for a PMHNP and way above the general

  12. Nurse Residency Background Check Question

    FullGlass replied to Akin2's topic in General Students

    This varies by employer. Typically, drug testing will occur after the interview(s), if the employer is contemplating making an offer. It may also occur after an offer is made. If you are planning...

  14. Urgent Care New Grad

    FullGlass replied to maymason408's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Take the job! As a new grad, you are not in a position to be too picky. What you describe for onboarding is pretty typical and it sounds fine to me. If you need more structure, then apply for NP...

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

    I think your chances are excellent. Your grades are fine. Your psychology degree and behavioral health experience are a big plus. As others have suggested, find the acceptance rates for the schools...

    Would greatly appreciate advice on dealing with this situation. I am a PMHNP working in a psychiatric outpatient practice in California for 3 years. The type of behaviors described below have...

  18. Finalist for HRSA scholarship

    FullGlass replied to Gurwantk's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! The HRSA scholarship is worth a lot of money. If you accept it, do not start planning on where you want to work after finishing school. Go to school, get your degree, then apply...

  19. NP prescribing in CA

    FullGlass replied to Ad1029's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is legal to prescribe non-controlled substances for yourself or family. Who is going to "frown" on it? No

  20. PART TIME schedule

    FullGlass replied to rnBSN223's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Given that you are PT, I don't think you are asking for too much. It appears your employer is trying to accommodate you, as well. It takes time to hire

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

    Wow. You are the one overreacting now. I explained why the term "setting boundaries" should be used carefully and is not always appropriate. You provide no refutation of my argument. To try...

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

    Low? Are you kidding? $95 per hour = $197,600 per year if FT. At 32 hours per week, that is $158,080. I'm not aware of hordes of NPs in California making almost $200K per year as an
