  1. "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...

  2. NP interview experiences

    FullGlass replied to eternalstudent328's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've done a lot of interviewing and never had the experience you described. On the contrary, every doctor that has interviewed me has been very nice and happy to explain everything in great detail....

  3. Two roads diverged.....or nah.....

    FullGlass replied to Mpittsenbarger's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't know where the OP is. He or she should research the job market where they want to live and work. I can tell you that in California we are begging for mental health providers of all types....

    FullGlass replied to Mpittsenbarger's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you want to do mental health, then go for the PMHNP. At least in the Western US, there is a terrible shortage of mental health care

  5. RN after NP school

    FullGlass replied to mhnurse234's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is a hard time for a job hunt due to COVID. Take any psych NP job you can get. It is generally easier to get an outpatient

  7. NP: Age limit?

    FullGlass replied to romantic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in California. I focused my search on everywhere except L.A., Bay Area, and San Diego. There is a very high demand for NPs in

  8. Your Interview Experience

    FullGlass replied to 3UNC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My typical interview experience: 1. Phone interview with recruiter 2. Phone interview with supervising MD 3. In person interview with a panel consisting of various MDs, NPs, PAs, maybe HR or a VP...

  9. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My point, to you and others who hate Trump is to take Trump out of the equation with regard to hydrochloroquinine. Now, let's imagine Trump never said anything about HCQ. The evidence on the use of...

  10. New graduate employment advice

    FullGlass replied to buttercup9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is a very rough time to try and get a job as a new grad NP. You are not in a position to be picky. Take the

  11. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The topic here is hydrochloroquinine. As has been previously posted, the initial studies that hydrocholoquinine is ineffective and dangerous have been retracted. Here are the facts: 1....

  12. NP: Age limit?

    FullGlass replied to romantic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you! No, you are not too old. Nursing is also my 2nd career. I started ABSN at age 53, went straight through to MSN NP, graduating at age 56. Got 9 job offers, all in the six figures. After...

  13. NP: Age limit?

    FullGlass replied to romantic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is a very strict age limit for NPs. They must all be between the ages of 26 and 50. Any NP attempting to practice after the age of 50 is subject to criminal prosecution. Any RN applying to NP...

    You don't provide any substantive arguments or analysis using evidence or

  15. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Great example of a healthcare professional unable to objectively evaluate treatments. Thank you for proving my point. It is incumbent on YOU to prove YOUR assertions, something you have clearly been...

  16. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It also does not excuse medical and nursing professionals from dismissing everything he says, either. When medicine is politicized, it is the patients who

  17. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My issue is with people declaring hydroxychloroquinine does not work because they dislike Trump. Either people take a scientific approach or they don't. If Trump said antibiotics are a good...

  18. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Some of us actually do research. I suggest you do the same before challenging me. "Treatment with hydroxychloroquine cut the death rate significantly in sick patients hospitalized with COVID-19 –...

  19. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    FullGlass replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Capitalism is not "white." Throughout the vast majority of human history, around the world, capitalism was the de facto economic system. Socialism and Communism are recent inventions. Most of Africa...

  20. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    FullGlass replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am bit baffled by the original post and much of this thread. No decent person wants to see racism or exploitation in medical research and clinical trials. I certainly don't. However, medical...

  21. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    I am baffled as to what evidence you think you need. There were numerous studies done with author panels that include MDs and DOs. If you want to do a research study, then go ahead. With regard to...

  22. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    There have been studies in which the researchers included MDs. Most MDs are OK with FPA for NPs. It's a loud subset that are causing

  23. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    Well, I live in Sacramento and most people are not wearing masks when outdoors. I also hate wearing a mask, but if it's only for brief period while shopping, I can live with

  24. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    Most NPs are still better off in California. 1. Our income and sales tax are high, but our property tax is pretty low. Our combined tax burden is high, but certainly not the highest. 2. I'm going...

  25. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    Glad you were able to get a good job. That job with the $3k advance sounded sketchy to me. I also do VA disability exams, but physical issues only, and boy is the paperwork a pain! LOL Again, glad...
