  1. Transfering Classes from National University to Another Nursing School

    FullGlass replied to laurrad1's topic in California Nursing

    You can also try UCSD Extension for these classes. Probably the same cost as National, and they will transfer for sure if they are marked as valid for UC credit. Also check to see if San Marcos and...

  2. San Diego Job market? ADN?

    FullGlass replied to jackinthebox86's topic in California Nursing

    Are you going to a community college in San Diego County? If so, you should be able to get a job. Your clinical rotations will be in local hospitals and are a chance to establish a network. You can...

  3. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    These conversations tend to meander. However, while you worry about the disability jobs and ethics, you aren't addressing the root cause of your troubles. At any rate, from your previous posts on...

  4. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    You deny greed, but turned down a good FT permanent job in NY because you thought this weird job in Seattle was more money. I don't know what kind of MDs you have met, but the ones I have worked with...

  5. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    Doing disability exams requires filling out a boat load of paperwork. You are also usually given a large history file that you have to go through. The exam itself is easy. It is doing the required...

  6. What can I do with my MSN-FNP that doesn't require much patient contact

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

    Another comment: as providers, we need to create boundaries and not get so emotionally wrapped up in our work. I've heard similar complaints from other new grad NPs. Be in the moment. Honestly, if...

  7. What can I do with my MSN-FNP that doesn't require much patient contact

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

    True, but in Urgent Care you are not responsible for the primary care drudgery of ordering labs, referrals, blah, blah, blah. There is nothing wrong with a fast pace. At least it is not

  8. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    You keep getting caught up in the weeds. You need to learn how to be a PMHNP! Working 2 separate PMHNP jobs and then doing disability exams on the side, while worrying about finances, is not going...

  9. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    My point is that this organization promised a $10K sign on bonus then reneged at the last minute. That is not right and is shady. Even if the $10K sign on is not permitted to contractors, it could...

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

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

    Only 10%

  11. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    You keep saying this is a great job, but it sounds like a sketchy outfit to me. I don't know why you paid them $1000 up front and they then didn't pay you the $10K bonus and will try to sue you if...

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

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

    I got an email from CANP that they are not going to support this bill. Personally, I'm ok with requiring a certain number of hours of practice before granting FPA because there are very few NPs who...

  13. Disrespect & Profanity

    FullGlass replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree on not using profanity. I'm in primary care, which is more casual than working in a hospital. A couple of times I did swear before I caught myself, and my patients loved it! The...

  14. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    Well, good luck. Go ahead and get your Calif license once you are settled

  15. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    I guess things are different in California - more likely for PMHNPs to find salaried

  16. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    I am very sorry you got yourself into this. The contract with Mindful Therapy sounds very fishy, and I'd consult with a lawyer on the legality. Those terms are ridiculous. In the future, read...

  17. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    One more thing - California has the worst shortage of mental health providers and is the highest-paying state for NPs. Once you get settled, go ahead and get your California license, so this will be...

  18. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    Honestly, I think you are trying to do too much. Starting out as a new PMHNP requires you to focus on that. The first year is the hardest. I'm not trying to make you feel bad, but offering some...

  19. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    Holding you to the end of May is just ridiculous. They are blowing smoke up your a**. Go talk to an employment attorney - the first meeting is free. However, I do understand they are upset about...

  20. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    Why would you turn down $175K in upstate NY? That is generally a very affordable area, and it is easier to fly home to Florida from there. In California, there are places hiring non-PMHNPs and...

  21. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

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

    Personally, I would do the disability exams and cancel one day of psych RN work. I also do the disability exams on the side and it is a big pain to get those scheduled. In addition, some vets have...

  22. Concentration dilemma

    FullGlass replied to BHrn's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would advise picking one or the other. After you are an NP, you can do a post-master's certificate in the other area if you want, and you can do that while you are working. Realistically, I don't...

  23. "My Nurse"

    FullGlass replied to Appleofmyeye's topic in General Nursing

    This is just not something to get upset about. Context is everything. If the doctor actually employs the nurse, or is the nurse's supervisor, then he or she is indeed "his nurse." Just like his PA...

  24. Duke NP graduates.... worth it?

    FullGlass replied to StephaAnn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think MDs go into that much detail - they just look at your resume. Even if they did, the quality schools deliver didactic online, which is fine. They still provide hands on skills training...

  25. California NP License processing time

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

    I applied for my California RN license as soon as I completed my BSN. You can't apply for a California NP license until you graduate and pass boards. The BON website gives accurate processing times....
