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

  3. My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    FullGlass replied to Gadsale's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is nothing inherently unsanitary about squat toilets. Some would argue they are MORE sanitary since you are not sitting on a toilet seat that other people have sat on. People who are used to...

  4. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    FullGlass replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you really want to be a doctor, then go for it. I started nursing school at age 53 and became an NP at 57. Honestly, if I had been younger, I would have gone to med school. I would say 45 years...

  5. Licensed ACNPC-AG ..going back for FNP guidance

    FullGlass replied to LTmurse78's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Try the large hospitals. Many of them have a separate peds ED. The ED is also not your only option as an Acute Care

  6. PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    FullGlass replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    There is an acute shortage of mental health providers in many parts of the US. I'm in California and pretty much the entire Western US needs mental health providers. 30s is not too old for med...

    In addition to the other good suggestions posted, you can also apply for loan repayment programs. Some employers. like large hospital chains and the VA, also offer loan repayment. You might also...

  8. 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 option to consider is Planned Parenthood. They hire FNPs and AGPCNPs and train them. A lot of contraceptive counseling, insertions. STDs. Also prenatal care. Generally not a lot of the...

  9. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    I agree with you that the cost of education should be commensurate with projected earnings. However, not all nurses are floor nurses Many nurses become supervisors, executives, policy-makers in the...

  10. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    You make some good points. However, your eagerness to dismiss the importance of going to a good school is troubling. Personally, I feel I deserve the best. And doctors certainly don't have a...

  11. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    The top schools, like Columbia, typically have excellent financial aid packages. I'm a California resident, but Hopkins was actually cheaper for me than UCLA, because of the scholarhips Hopkins...

  12. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    You are not a Nurse Practitioner nor do you hire NPs. I am an NP and help recruit NPs. Who hires most NPs? Doctors. And doctors care very much about the school one went to, especially for a new...

  13. I was accepted for my Masters... but now what do I do

    FullGlass replied to K.Alva's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you are offered the chance for a free FNP at a good school, then buckle down and do it. Of course they are going to ask something in return! Having to work for them for 2 years is hardly...

  14. 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

    You may just be a bit burned out. I would advise you get some counseling from a trusted NP or doctor mentor. You would also likely benefit from some psychotherapy. It's important to create...

  15. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    "Desirable" is a subjective judgment. For one thing, what one person considers important for desirability is just their personal preference. Some people place affordability as in their top 3, others...

  16. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    I have NP friends that did residencies and they were glad they did it. These are generally only 1 year, some are 2 years. The pay is $70 to $80K per year. That's not bad, considering the training...

  17. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    Well, I guess you are just rude. Evidently, you think it is okay to make derogatory comments to people you don't even know. Expecting an apology when one is insulted is hardly entitled. If I...

  18. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    "karen" is considered a derogatory comment. You should apologize to me. If I seem a bit upset by some comments about "undesirable" areas, it is because I also view that as being rude, as I...

  19. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! I don't think you can go wrong with any of those schools. the Hopkins name will definitely open some doors, but so will UCLA. UCLA has a huge and devoted alumni network, especially...

  20. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    Resorting to insults indicates you are incapable of reasoned discussion. Do you think it is okay to go to someone's home and say their home is crap or "undesirable?" Yet, you evidently think it is...

  21. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    What you said is very rude. Do you think it is okay to go to someone's home and say their home is crap or "undesirable?" Yet, you think it is okay to call cities that are home to millions of people...

  22. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    That is a very rude comment. If an NP can't find a job, especially a new grad NP, then they need to go where the jobs are. The cities I listed are nice and also very affordable, in addition to...

  23. Help with Job Search advice

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

    Most of my jobs have been through recruiters. It is good to have a good relationship with recruiters, for future opportunities. As a new grad, you are not in a position to be picky, so apply...

  24. Pre-student in need of advice

    FullGlass replied to Eyeing the Field's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are still some ABSN programs left, so that is a good option. Another option for you is a direct-entry MSN. However, you would still need to complete the PMHNP after that. I don't know if RN...

  25. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    I don't know where you or your friend are in California. There is a very high demand for FNPs in most of the state, not just rural areas. Bakersfield, Fresno, Sacramento, Redding, Chico are very...
