  1. Total Number of Nurse Practitioners Hits 325,000

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

    As as been repeatedly discussed, the supply and demand for NPs varies greatly by location. This past year has been a terrible year for NP job hunters, due to COVID. As I previously stated, many MDs...

  2. Total Number of Nurse Practitioners Hits 325,000

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

    I have given you a multitude of examples to prove my point. You respond with nothing but assertions. If you want to live in fear, fine, but stop trying to fan hysteria. "The Bureau of Labor...

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

    Why do you all assume that for-profit grads will take NP jobs paying crap? If they can make more $ being an RN, then they will go back to being an RN! Many readers here are assuming that all...

    FullGlass replied to nurselove757's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not aware of them getting any more money, and I have an X-waiver. In my experience, it just provides more opportunities when

  5. Total Number of Nurse Practitioners Hits 325,000

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

    The number of states with FPA is increasing and will continue to do so. I see no indication that doctors are unwilling to work with NPs. Unless the doctor owns their own practice, they really can't...

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

    What amazes me is the number of readers of this forum who seem to think that they are ENTITLED to a job. No one in the US is ENTITLED to a job. We have a capitalist economy, governed by supply...

  9. RN to PMHNP

    FullGlass replied to NurseLife1220's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I suggest you try to work as a psych RN for

  10. Total Number of Nurse Practitioners Hits 325,000

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

    Here we go again, more hysteria over this supposed oversaturation. I see no indication of an oversupply of NPs. Has anyone here studied clinical reasoning or logic? If there is a shortage...

  11. NP with prior discipline

    FullGlass replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Advanced Practice

    Personally, I don't think cannabis use is a big deal, and most MDs don't think so, either. Is cannabis legal in your state now? I'm in California, and for healthcare, cannabis use is not a...

  12. Need Advice! CA BRN Will Not Accept My WGU Advanced Pharm Classes!

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

    When I wrote the answer above, I did not pay close attention and did not realize WGU was now offering online BSN and MSN NP programs. They did not do this until recently. I agree with you that...

  13. Need Advice! CA BRN Will Not Accept My WGU Advanced Pharm Classes!

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

    Check around nursing schools in California. National Univ, I believe, allows people to take some courses online w/o being in the whole program. Again, check with CANP for some advice. Good

  14. HRSA Score vs Job

    FullGlass replied to kevinm23's topic in Advanced Practice

    I had a similar issue with the Nurse Corps Scholarship. Have a psychiatrist or talk therapist or other provider write a note to them explaining you can't move at this time, etc. Good

  15. Need Advice! CA BRN Will Not Accept My WGU Advanced Pharm Classes!

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

    WGU is not a "diploma mill." It is a reputable school. I suggest you contact CANP and ask for their advice. There may be an online course you can take. Good

  16. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

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

    I am not being harsh. I am being realistic. One of the great things about a nursing career is flexibility. NP is NOT the only path for RN advancement. Southern California, especially San...

  17. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

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

    We learned some of the maneuvers and tests like Lachman, but there are a boatload and a new grad or primary care NP is generally not expected to know all of them. My mentor on my first job (primary...

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

    A new grad NP is not expected to know advanced orthopedic assessment. The truth is, these issues will be referred to ortho. Some places will offer OJT. Or you can take a seminar for CE on...

  19. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

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

    What is all this belly-aching about pay? My goodness, a potential NP should know their earning potential in their desired area. My first NP job as new grad in rural CA - $125K first year in a...

  20. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

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

    It is the responsiblity of potential NPs to research the job market in their area. As I stated, many healthcare providers will work 4-5 days where their job is, then go home on weekends. Where...

  21. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

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

    Yes, it is. I moved. I suggest new grad NPs be prepared to move for their first job. There is a shortage of providers in the Central Valley and North State. A lot of providers will work in one of...

  22. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

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

    MD residents make about $60K per year. Their salary is paid by Social Security. There is no way NP residents are going to make more than that....

  23. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

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

    $70K for a new grad RESIDENCY program is excellent! What do you think MD residents make? They don't make much, either. Personally, I think a lot of NPs have an overinflated sense of what a...

  24. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

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

    You make some excellent points. However, new grad NP is not in a position to make this argument. I think a good NP who has been at a practice for awhile could certainly make this argument. There...

    To Thenursing doll: I am very sorry you are going through this. This sounds more like junior high than college. Are you at a community college? I was also the victim of some racist bullying,...
