  3. Travel Bans?

    FullGlass replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We should all be concerned and watch this closely. Perhaps I said this poorly in my prior post - my point is that there is no reason to panic. I am angry that the mass media and social media seem...

  4. Travel Bans?

    FullGlass replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The Dow went up 1294 points today, March 2. So I wouldn't worry too much about economic impact. The mass media and social media are trying to create hysteria and I'm sick of it. There is no reason...

  6. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    FullGlass replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am already an NP with an MSN. There are still plenty of MSN NP programs out there. I am just giving my opinion. I think an MSN with an NP residency would be a better way to go in general. There...

  8. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    FullGlass replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

  12. Nurse to Physician

    FullGlass replied to QuestionableTimes's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is no new provider that feels 100% prepared after finishing school, whether it be NP, PA, or MD. MDs and DOs have the advantage of internship and residency, which provides a lot of training and...

  13. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    FullGlass replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

  19. Have any of you read any medical textbooks? How did they compare to NP texts?

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