  1. CA NPs. have you seen bill text for AB890?

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

    CANP opposed it, but when it was obvious it was going to pass, they decided to support

  2. Agism as New Psych NP?

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

    Why would there be ageism? Do you or your husband have any evidence of ageism? I venture neither one of you does. I became an NP at age 56, after being a business executive. I had 9 job offers...

  3. CA NPs. have you seen bill text for AB890?

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

    I have no idea. I don't understand the way this bill is

  4. California AB 890 passes, waits for Governor's signature

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, AB 890 finally passed, and with a 2/3 bipartisan majority. The Calif Med Assoc is very upset. I am still not clear as to what level of independence this gives NPs....

  5. CA NPs. have you seen bill text for AB890?

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

    That's what it looks like to me, too. I'm kind of confused by what this bill actually does. They keep talking about standardized procedures. What does this bill actually mean, in plain English?...

  6. Is being an FNP worth it?

    FullGlass replied to Shelly7913's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, I'm almost 60, fat, female, and mixed race. I think that one must bear oneself with dignity and professionalism. I also think having some gray hairs is a good thing in a provider - people...

  7. Is being an FNP worth it?

    FullGlass replied to Shelly7913's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That has not been my experience. My MD colleagues treat me as a peer. I've only had a couple of patients disrespect me for being an NP instead of an MD, and my MD colleagues and CMO have always come...

  8. No NP jobs. What now?

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

    No, the NP job market is NOT saturated. It may be in some areas, but in many parts of the country, there is a severe shortage of primary care providers. Generally, the Western states have better...

  9. New RN who wants to skip the hospital.

    FullGlass replied to alynn2018's topic in School

    You may be able to find an RN job in an outpatient setting, like a primary care clinic or a specialty practice. RNs also work in research. For example, research studies may employ an RN to perform...

  12. Eureka, CA - safe place?

    FullGlass replied to rsubi-NP's topic in Advanced Practice

    A friend of mine lived in the Arcata/Ferndale area and loved it. He is an artist and there is a large arts community there. He was really bummed when he had to move away for work

  13. Eureka, CA - safe place?

    FullGlass replied to rsubi-NP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I know an NP who worked in Eureka and had no problems. This is the pot-growing capital of California. It's like any town - good areas and bad areas. Go on the interview and see what you

  14. Nearly impossible to find NP jobs

    FullGlass replied to mrsannRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    California and most of the other Western States have a shortage of primary care and mental health providers. California does not have FPA, but I can guarantee any PMHNP will have no trouble finding a...

  15. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for the response. I just wanted to provide general information and help educate people. Epidemiology should be a required course for all nurses

  16. Nearly impossible to find NP jobs

    FullGlass replied to mrsannRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    It is harder to find a job now due to the COVID lockdowns. Psych is not oversaturated. It depends where you live. If you are having trouble finding a job, then widen your search to other geographic...

  17. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are partially correct. The number that is most useful is INFECTION fatality rate. The CASE fatality rate is 3.7%. That is very different from the INFECTION mortality rate. “If someone is...

  18. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And here we go again - you don't like Trump. Nice dodge, BTW, ignoring all evidence and logic that doesn't fit your worldview. You remind me of a puppy dog chasing its tail - around and around in...

  19. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Again, let's look at the original post that started this thread: Is anyone at all concerned that the leader of the free world...against all recommendations...is taking hydroxychloroquine as a...

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This has been a long thread, so as a refresher, here is the original post: "Is anyone at all concerned that the leader of the free world...against all recommendations...is taking hydroxychloroquine...

    1. The FDA revoked emergency authorization for Plaquenil for COVID, before any conclusive research....

  22. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're not a provider. I am. It is very common for medications to be prescribed for "off label" uses. Prescribing Plaquenil for COVID is such an instance. We know the common, rare, and serious...

  23. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    1. So why don't you ignore my comments and practice what you preach? 2. What's Kaepernick got to do with this? 3. Again, you ask for evidence, yet fail to provide any of your own to support your...

  24. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for the spelling correction and an extra helping of condescension. As someone who is concerned about "science," you are correct that Plaquenil is not off the table. It has shown promise in...

  25. "Freebirth" - Dangerous Movement is Placing Expectant Mothers and Their Babies in Danger

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nursing News

    This morning, I read with disbelief an article about "freebirthing," a movement for women to have babies with absolutely no medical professional present. While home birth has been around for a long...
