  1. Does prestige of program matter?

    FullGlass replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    Yes, many of the top schools have eliminated the BSN and gone to an MSN in place of the ABSN. I was in one of the last ABSN classes at Hopkins. Sure, feel free to message

  2. Does prestige of program matter?

    FullGlass replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    I want to weigh in on a couple of topics: 1) NCLEX pass rate and 2) future opportunities 1) NCLEX pass rate. I went to Hopkins and in my opinion, it is the community college ADN programs that do...

  3. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

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

    Right now, the job market for NPs is bad, due to COVID. However, normally, there are plenty of jobs in the Western US. Pay will vary by location within a state. The pay for NPs in San Diego is...

  4. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

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

    Totally agree. Anywhere in California that is not SF Bay Area, LA, Orange County or San Diego has a provider shortage. Look at Central Valley - Sacramento, Stockton, Merced, Modesto, Fresno,...

  5. FNP jobs with RN schedule: 3-12 hours shifts

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

    In California, that is not the case. I was offered a UC job as a new grad, but this was a large UC, part of a hospital, that had multiple providers on all shifts. Even in remote rural areas, which...

  6. So frustrated.

    FullGlass replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    As others have suggested, work with the PTA. It should be easy to perform outreach through them and social media, like the school's facebook page. Ask for volunteers to form a sewing brigade to make...

  7. FNP jobs with RN schedule: 3-12 hours shifts

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

    The reason CVS, at least in California, does not hire new grads is because the NP usually works alone in these Minute Clinics. I find the thought of a new grad in such a role to be truly alarming and...

  8. FNP jobs with RN schedule: 3-12 hours shifts

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

    CVS requires 1-2 years of NP

  9. FNP jobs with RN schedule: 3-12 hours shifts

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

    Very, very few minute clinics or urgent care clinics will hire a new grad NP. Almost all require a minimum of 1 year, most require a minimum of 2 years

  10. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FullGlass replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, I am not concerned. President Trump has excellent medical care provided by his physician. His medical treatments are nobody's business. That is between him and his physician. Personally, I...

  11. FNP jobs with RN schedule: 3-12 hours shifts

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

    That's going to be very hard to find. That is not the nature of primary care or outpatient care. The best you're going to get is 4-10s. Why on earth did you become an FNP if you don't want to work...

  12. Does prestige of program matter?

    FullGlass replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    Whether or not the big-name school matters depends on what kind of career you want. First, avoid for-profit schools! These are the "crappy" schools that will accept anyone with a pulse. And they are...

  13. mnemonics for pharmacology

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

    Then disregard it! I've never heard of that med either. You know what material you are responsible for learning. Just because someone threw up a mnemonic doesn't mean everything in it is

  14. CA Board Approved Programs

    FullGlass replied to philiojenkins's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are many California NPs that went to NP programs in other states, or attended online programs. However, I recall that California may want to approve certain coursework and I can't remember if...

  15. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

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

    So what if the NP workforce hit a record high? There is also a lot unmet demand. What is your evidence that oversaturation is a big problem. I'm sick and tired of these scare tactics. There are...

  16. np rate per patient

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

    NPs working for a private practice generally get a salary or an hourly rate. I don't know what you mean by "what %." You should be easily able to determine average pay for an NP in your area. As a...

  17. mnemonics for pharmacology

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

    There are many, many books on mnemonics. There are also a lot of free ones on the internet. Check the student doctor forums, too. I suggest you also try making up your own - this can be even more...

  18. np rate per patient

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

    I suggest you use Excel to build a simple spreadsheet to calculate your expected monthly and yearly income based on the data you provided. Then you can share that number with us to determine if it is...

  19. Low Pay...for New Grad?

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

    New grad pay varies a lot by location. The Southeast is notorious for paying NPs poorly. California has the highest pay overall for NPs. New grads here generally start at $110K or higher. It is...

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

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

    I know NPs that paid all cash for their NP school. They worked as RNs for a few years and saved some money, then went to NP school part-time while working as an RN part-time or even full-time....

  21. Where do you stand on opening things up during the Pandemic?

    FullGlass replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Respectfully, I disagree. It is indeed valid to compare the deaths from other diseases to the deaths from COVID as a way to calibrate appropriate response. There are diseases with much higher...

  22. Where do you stand on opening things up during the Pandemic?

    FullGlass replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We simply cannot keep the lockdown going much longer. People are starting to go out more and more. You can't expect people to stay in isolation this long. We were told the point of the lockdown is...

  23. Where do you stand on opening things up during the Pandemic?

    FullGlass replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What is your point? No one has said COVID is the flu. And what evidence do you

  24. Where do you stand on opening things up during the Pandemic?

    FullGlass replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We've had some very bad flu seasons, excluding the Spanish flu: 1957 when 116,000 died 1967 when about 100,000 Americans died 2017-2018 about 80,000 died from flu We didn't shut the country down in...

  25. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    FullGlass replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I joined this thread to discuss the larger issue of lockdowns - when and how to lift them. It was not my intention to debate how individual hospitals are faring. Prior to becoming an NP, I was a...
