    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...

  2. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    You have never worked in primary care, yet feel you can lecture me on primary care NPs. Please tell me how many NPs in California can't find a job in California. That number will be very low if...

  3. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

  4. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    That's not going to happen anytime soon. What bothers me is this mindset. Coming from the corporate world, and high tech, we had enough confidence not to be worried by more people going into STEM or...

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

    1. Having barriers does nothing to improve access or quality. The way to improve access is to have MORE providers, not less. The way to improve quality is to improve the quality of education and...

  7. Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

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

    We need better schools and education, not barriers. I am a primary care NP and went straight from ABSN to MSN NP. In many parts of the US, there is an acute shortage of primary care providers of ALL...

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

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

    Online in and of itself does not mean poor quality. Johns Hopkins has moved to an online format for NP education. It's actually far more convenient to have didactic content online. Hopkins does...

  11. Thoughts on Accelerated BSN + MSN

    FullGlass replied to ohwhyshai's topic in General Students

    I did an ABSN then went straight into the MSN NP program. Had no trouble at all getting an NP job. Now, you have to decide what kind of NP you want to be. If you are going into primary/outpatient...

    FullGlass replied to jchav02's topic in General Nursing

  14. Doctors offended by TV show about nurses

    FullGlass replied to FullGlass's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Jackie was a good show. She certainly had her flaws, but who doesn't? She was an excellent nurse and patient advocate. The doctors respected her professionally. The show depicted teamwork...

    FullGlass replied to Flightmed123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While an interesting idea, there are some issues with trying to do both psych and primary care, especially in independent practice. First, psych pays more than primary care. From a financial...

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

  21. California NPs - trouble with finding "the" job?

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

    Where on earth are you working that you have that much admin time? If you want to focus on patient care, then apply to FQHCs. They are desperate for people. Also look at primary care for the large...
