  2. High Demand or Oversaturated?

    FullGlass replied to hcurry9's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  5. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    Given the vast amount of nasty and belittling online comments leveled by MDs and med students against NP, it is hardly surprising that the NP community has some resentment. Frankly, MDs are far too...

  6. HELP - Goals for PMHNP preceptor/clinicals

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

    By the time a PMHNP student is ready to start clinicals, they have completed didactic courses and should have some clue as to what their clinical rotation goals are. The poor quality of many NP...

  8. High Demand or Oversaturated?

    FullGlass replied to hcurry9's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The current California job market for new grad NPs is rough. However, this is not typical. Due to reduced patient demand for provider visits due to COVID, a lot of RNs, NPs, PA, MDs were laid off or...

  9. NP school admissions: GPA

    FullGlass replied to kthomas41's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The school website will have clear information on their admissions policies. Please check it carefully. You can also call an admissions counselor. In general, the most weight to grades will be...

  10. HELP needed... Health Assessment

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

    Totally agree with LadyT618 books. Practice is also key. Find a friend and practice the assessments as much as possible. If you have a cooperative pet, even that will do. Memorize the steps for...

  11. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    No one is being forced to live in California. Frankly, I would be happy to see our population decrease a bit. So yes, all of us Californians are here in dire poverty and living in fear for our...

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

    FullGlass replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Oh, please. Anyone with a basic understanding of economics and finance understands that taxes on gas disproportionately affect the poor and working class. Let me spell it out for you: 1. Poor...

  14. President Biden's First Day Legislation

    FullGlass replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Canada is extremely upset by this, with many Premiers calling for legal action against the US. Trudeau is scheduled to speak to Biden soon about this. Canada is our closest ally and biggest...

  15. Questioning My Future While in NP School

    FullGlass replied to SN2751's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did not work as an RN. My first specialization was Primary Care. My first 6 months were extremely stressful, due to a steep learning curve. After that, it was actually LESS stressful than my...

  17. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    You make good points. I wanted to clarify a couple of items. 1. In the business world, one expects to make more $ for more risk. So, an indepedent practitioner is incurring more risk, so they...

  19. Question on prescribing controlled substances in California

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello, I am currently in mental health. It has always been my understanding that we can prescribe refills for Schedule IV medications in California, such as hypnotics and benzos. Schedule II,...

  20. Question on prescribing controlled substances in California

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

    I'm not sure how the Stark Act works here. This is a private practice owned by one MD. Since we are doing telehealth, COVID is not an issue. Actually, I started doing simple letters myself. Some...

  23. Help...

    FullGlass replied to jennys.pennys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    National or West Coast are not worth that kind of money. That's crazy. Your GPA is adequate to get into an ADN program, so do that and save a lot of money, too. It is far cheaper to retake some...

  24. Is this a good new grad NP offer?

    FullGlass replied to AGUS821's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The OP does indeed appear to be an excellent candidate, but they are a new grad NP. There is a common misperception that new grad NPs will make the same, or more than, they did as an RN immediately...

  25. Is this a good new grad NP offer?

    FullGlass replied to AGUS821's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Employers are under no obligation to match a new grad NP's previous RN pay. End of story. This is a tough job market, and the OP should take the job to get some experience. He or she can always...
