  1. Should I go into Nursing - Portland

    FullGlass replied to Ellak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nurse practitoner is my second career. I had a successful business career before becoming an NP. My initial undergrad GPA was horrible! LOL I had a lot of family and personal issues when I was...

  2. Heartbreak and nursing program

    FullGlass replied to Herc1201's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry you are going through this. Breaking up can be very heartbreaking. However, if you are still unable to function properly in school after two months, please seek help. Talk to your...

  3. Northern Kentucky University (NKU) - You get what you pay for

    FullGlass replied to Ally4587's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Caveat emptor. NP students need to make the effort to go to reputable schools! It is not that hard. Online NP schools are a BAD idea. So do yourself a favor if you are contemplating NP...

  4. Can I still go to nursing school with an academic dishonesty charge?

    FullGlass replied to anonymoussss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it is not on your transcript, then it doesn't matter. You can request a copy of your official transcript to be sure there is nothing on there. The nursing schools just get your transcript and...

  5. New NP grad RN-NP

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

    Employers are not expecting a new grad NP to have relevant experience other than their school clinicals. If you are looking to work in a hospital, then your RN experience will be helpful. So you are...

  6. Which path do I take?

    FullGlass replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you. You can search for my post on that subject. Yes, I agree that directly relevant experience can be helpful for an NP, especially for acute care roles in a hospital. But that is not true...

  7. Which path do I take?

    FullGlass replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why are you challenging my PERSONAL experience? Do you know me? I stand that quote, which is based on my PERSONAL experience. Others may have different

  8. Which path do I take?

    FullGlass replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Respectfully, you are incorrect. RN work experience is not required to be a good NP. I have written about this and have even posted a mini evidence review on this topic on this site. NPs that go...

  9. California educational requirements - out of state absn

    FullGlass replied to Murseca's topic in General Students

    There is nothing wrong with going to a school outside of California. Just make sure the CA BON will accept all classes. A school that is unwilling or unable to provide confirmation that the CA...

  10. California educational requirements - out of state absn

    FullGlass replied to Murseca's topic in General Students

    A school that won't provide information on this is not a good sign. I have heard of CA BON not accepting graduates of some schools for licensure. Why don't you go to a school in CA if you want to...

  11. Got my Pre-Nursing done. What's next?

    FullGlass replied to Katie Kaczka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to an academic advisor at your school. You can also call the admissions offices of nursing schools you are interested in for more info. This info should also be right on their websites - if it...

  12. University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) Online Pre-reqs extended studies

    FullGlass replied to Luna28's topic in School, College Programs

    It should be fine. I did a lot of my prereqs through UCLA Extended Studies and got into Johns Hopkins and UCLA. The course description in the catalog indicates if the class is transferable to a UC...

    FullGlass replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Some really good suggestions have been offered. One of my nursing school instructors was an RN that became a talk therapist. Our mental health practice also has a talk therapist that was an RN....

  14. Frontier Nursing University / University of West Florida - Scared of FNP school rejection?

    FullGlass replied to GInurse2017's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Please calm down. You should be accepted by at least 1 school. Good

  15. New grad job dilemma

    FullGlass replied to Sunnyking12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As an FNP, you are NOT qualified for a hospitalist position! I don't care if the hospital wants to hire you, do NOT take this job. You are setting yourself up for a huge liability risk. You must...

  16. Calif RNs - think very carefully if you really want to become an NP

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you are an RN in Calif thinking about becoming an NP, please carefully research and think about this. Be familiar with the typical NP compensation. Becoming an NP is not necessarily the way to...

  17. CNS necessary for NP or not?

    FullGlass replied to estardust's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, I don't know why anyone would want a CNS. Get your NP credential. And it is psych, not

  18. In final quarter of a BSN program, if I auto fail due to not get 100% on a dosage calculation test. Can I transfer my courwork anywhere without starting from scratch?

    FullGlass replied to SleeplessinFl's topic in General Students

    Have you talked to your academic advisor to find out what your options are? At my school we had to get at least 90% to pass the dose calc test. If necessary, discuss an appeals process. It is...

  19. Victim of wild accusations and concerned about being reported to the Board

    FullGlass replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Is the NYSNA a union? If so, please check with your union rep, as Nurse Beth said, to find out what your rights are. I strongly urge you to seek a consultation with at least one employment...

    FullGlass replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your post is a great example of why the nurse practitioner profession is coming under increasing fire. Not once do you mention gettng a QUALITY education. Coming from the business world, you should...

  21. Is going on to be a NP my only option to make more money?

    FullGlass replied to ConfusedNurse202's topic in General Nursing

    Most NPs are employees and have health insurance provided by the employer. As for student loans, please don't scare people about this. There are many scholarships available, as well as loan...

  22. C in gen chem. Prob cannot retake.

    FullGlass replied to Eleanor Ang's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can certainly retake Chemistry to get a higher grade. Chemistry has been the downfall of many pre-med and pre-nursing students. As for transferring to a competitive school like UCLA, you...

  23. Is going on to be a NP my only option to make more money?

    FullGlass replied to ConfusedNurse202's topic in General Nursing

    PLEASE go to a reputable school, not a for-profit. In other words, please don't go to Walden, Chamberlain, or a similar school. They are ruining the NP profession. Good

  24. Is going on to be a NP my only option to make more money?

    FullGlass replied to ConfusedNurse202's topic in General Nursing

    While becoming an NP will likely increase your pay, it will take time and money to complete the additional education. You will need to do clinicals and that will require you to physically go to where...
