  1. 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

    Are you really making $200k a year now? Last time we heard from you, you were working part-time in psych and also had 1 or 2 other part-time gigs. If you can make a Seattle salary and live in...

  2. Importance of NP Program Reputation, Name Recognition

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

    Yes, "brand name" matters more for NP school for exactly the reason you stated: MDs generally hire NPs and they care very much about school reputation. I went to Hopkins, and as a new grad, at...

  3. PMHNP Post Master's Cert - Vanderbilt versus Hopkins

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello, I have been fortunate enough to have been accepted into both the Johns Hopkins and also the Vanderbilt PMHNP post-master's certificate options. Both are top-ranked schools for the PMHNP. I'm...

  4. The economics of PA vs. NP

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

    The question of whether or not NPs should have RN experience has been beaten to death already on this forum. While additional research might be interesting, there have been a few studies that found...

  5. CNM Market Saturation?

    FullGlass replied to aspiringcnm3's topic in Advanced Practice

    Demand varies by location. Please research the demand for CNMs in different locations. Here is an example of information on CNM job prospects, from the State of California EDD:...

  6. NP application process

    FullGlass replied to Guest1030824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Reputable schools want a combination of recommendations from former professors and work references. If you can't find 3 references, then you are probably not a good candidate for any NP program. For...

  7. NP application process

    FullGlass replied to Guest1030824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is a recipe for disaster. You are applying to subpar schools. This is exactly the type of education that gives NPs a bad

  8. FNP MSN vs DNP school help

    FullGlass replied to stephadler82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Go for UC Irvine, since you want the DNP eventually. When comparing costs, you must factor into an MSN program the added eventual cost of also getting the DNP. With UC Irvine, in 3 years you have...

  9. New Paradigm for the DNP. What do you think?

    FullGlass replied to KetafolDNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Calculus is not required to understand statistics or epidemiology. While physics is useful for some specialties, it is not relevant to most clinicians. We, as APRNs, need better clinical education....

  10. FNP no longer allowed to practice inpatient

    FullGlass replied to Heather7's topic in Advanced Practice

    The reason I said that is an Acute Care NP has to choose Adult or Peds. If they want to work in an ER, that is a disadvantage requiring additional schooling to overcome. The PA will cover Peds and...

  11. Protection During the Resurgence

    FullGlass replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    We aren't going back into lockdown mode again. Mnuchin has stated that. In California, Governor Newsome has said the same thing. While most people support precautions such as face masks, hygiene,...

  12. New Grad NP questions- California

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

    I suggest you go to the DEA website and start the application process. They have instructions there. Get your NPI first. In California, you also have to take a little online class that is quick and...

  13. FNP no longer allowed to practice inpatient

    FullGlass replied to Heather7's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you want to work in acute care, I'd advise going for a PA. That is the most versatile degree and I think it is better for acute

  14. Protection During the Resurgence

    FullGlass replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    "Science" has been wrong numerous times with regard to COVID. That is because it is no new. So I would view any claims with healthy skepticism at this point. Yes, there could be a 2nd wave, but...

  15. Protection During the Resurgence

    FullGlass replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Please explain why it is "pretty much certain" there will be a second wave/resurgence of COVID. I have yet to see any evidence this is the case, and you provided none, just made a bald assertion. A...

  16. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hey, just keep ignoring the evidence. Oh, wait, isn't that what Trump and his supporters do? You completely ignore the fact that key studies on how hydrochloroquinine sucks have been retracted. But...

  17. Does prestige of program matter?

    FullGlass replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    You keep thinking that if it makes you feel better. But you are wrong. And guess what, the people who get into the top schools hardly ever pay full price, as I have repeatedly explained, due to...

  18. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just stop with the hysteria. So Trump is an authoritarian because he may have taken hydrochloroquinine? Please explain to the rest of us how this makes sense. Did Trump force anyone else to take...

  19. Does prestige of program matter?

    FullGlass replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    Sorry, but the program does matter to some employers. Bedside nurses don't make hiring decisions. Supervisors do. Hiring managers do look at what school a new grad nurse went to. You also assume...

  20. NP school, did you pull a loan or paid in cash?

    FullGlass replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just saw a primary care NP job listing in a Northern California town. This is a decent-size town and it considered an outdoor sports mecca - it is an international vacation destination for outdoor...

  21. Boston Area NP Salary

    FullGlass replied to mrabinov's topic in Advanced Practice

    Why don't you start applying for other jobs? You don't have to take a new job, but if you got some offers, you'd know for sure the going rate for an NP in Boston in your specialty or a related one....

  22. NP school, did you pull a loan or paid in cash?

    FullGlass replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While it would be best to not have any student loans, that is not feasible for most people. The only NPs I know who did not get any student loans are NPs who were foreign students and had to pay...

  23. last year of FNP school but want PMHNP

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

    Certainly, get the PMHNP certificate if that is what you are passionate about. That is why these certificate programs exist. It appears you have some great psych experience already. 1) You can gain...

  24. FNP Oversaturation

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

    No, an NP does not have to bilingual. However, it is a huge advantage. It isn't that hard to learn a little medical spanish. Even a little spanish is helpful. There are a few positions that...

  25. Does prestige of program matter?

    FullGlass replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    Well, I did one of the last ABSN programs, then into the Hopkins MSN NP program. Yes, my experience was positive. Hopkins is a great school. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who can go for a...
