  1. New NP pay

    FullGlass replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    That is an excessive amount of extra time charting. You are supposed to chart as you go. I did have to spend about 2 hours a night or so after work finishing charting when I first started as an NP....

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

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

    We don't know if the new grad in the OP's example was selling herself short. NP pay varies greatly by area and specialty. That is also true for MDs. $96K could very well be good pay for a new grad...

  3. My Experience with Cliques and Bullies and How I Learned to Deal with Them

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

    I think it boils down to developing inner strength and toughness. For various reasons, I've always been a bit different, and in my senior year in high school, a very nice girl who was also very...

  4. My Experience with Cliques and Bullies and How I Learned to Deal with Them

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

  6. Federal NP pay. Is this what it would look like under single payer?

    FullGlass replied to Pachinko's topic in Advanced Practice

    It is very clear from the VA website that health provider pay varies by location. A cost of living differential is provided for more expensive areas. That is public information. Please do your...

  7. New NP pay

    FullGlass replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    I went to nursing school in Baltimore and when I graduated, in 2017, the going rate for new grad NPs in that area was 90-100k. I would think it has gone up a bit, so 95k to 100k should be reasonable...

  8. New NP pay

    FullGlass replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced Practice

    The brutal truth is that you don't have a lot of negotiating power as a new grad. For the greater Baltimore and DC area 100K as a new grad FNP is quite reasonable. I suggest you choose your...

  9. Psyche NP administration of Botox

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

    Check with your state Board of Nursing. I'm in California and there is only one NP license; it is not differentiated by specialty. Therefore, in California, and NP who has completed botox training...

  11. Low BScN GPA, getting into NP

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

    I also went to Yale right out of high school and struggled, for the same reasons. It is understandable your BSN GPA might be lower if you had to work - so explain that in your admissions essay. I...

  13. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    It is very difficult to understand your post because the writing quality is very poor. 1. I do not work for any school 2. I have never worked in a hospital, or claimed to work in a...

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

    There are several variables affecting PMHNP pay: 1. Location and cost of living - Areas with a high cost of living will generally pay more for all professions. That may or may not be enough to...

  15. HELP needed... Health Assessment

    FullGlass replied to NP Student 101's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When I earned my MSN AGPCNP, I went to a bricks and mortar school with hybrid education. Health assessment was an in-person course. We met in the lab 2x a week to learn exam skills and to practice...

  16. NP specialty with the most patient time?

    FullGlass replied to haels's topic in Advanced Practice

    You are very fortunate. I am in California and looking into several PMHNP positions, they are all 40 to 45 minute intake and then 20 minutes for follow ups. The reason is that therapy is separated...

  17. ONLINE ASN TO PMHNP PATHWAYS

    FullGlass replied to MellowYellow0914's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have not seen anyone on this forum criticize community college RN programs. These are generally excellent, reputable programs. What people on this forum criticize are for-profit schools like...

  18. Honest feedback online DNP

    FullGlass replied to TJU2016RN's topic in Advanced Practice

    A lot of reputable programs have an online DNP, especially since COVID. Johns Hopkins is one of them, another is Vanderbilt. I'd look at the schools you like, then see if they have an online

  19. NP specialty with the most patient time?

    FullGlass replied to haels's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm working in mental health and you'd think that would provide more patient time, right? Wrong. I get 40 min for a new patient and 20 minutes for a follow up. Welcome to corporate health

  21. Quickest and Cheapest states to get NP licenses

    FullGlass replied to 12gage's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you want to work in California, then you need a California NP license. California takes the longest, yes, but if things don't work out at the VA, then you can easily seek employment elsewhere....

  22. Importance of NP Program Reputation, Name Recognition

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

    There are many people on this forum that put down NPs w/o RN experience. I'm glad that you are not one of them. I am very frustrated by the constant questions and discussions on whether school...

  23. Importance of NP Program Reputation, Name Recognition

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

    There have been a few studies done and none of them showed any advantage from RN experience for primary care NPs. So that is the EVIDENCE. No, I did not have RN experience. I went straight...

  24. Importance of NP Program Reputation, Name Recognition

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

    Yes, you can argue this and I do. 1. I take it that you are an Acute Care NP. What you say makes sense for new Acute Care NPs. Reputable Acute Care NP programs require RN experience for...
