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

  5. Good NP jobs

    FullGlass replied to Liz Crotty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    1. Sleep medicine. I was offered a job, but the doctor said I would probably get bored fast. Very routine exams. Low risk - no one is going to die. Patients are very grateful once they can get...

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  9. Doctors offended by TV show about nurses

    FullGlass replied to FullGlass's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree. What's weird is I don't work with any doctors that are actually like this, but I'm in primary care. The whining over on KevinMD over every little thing makes doctors look bad, really...

  11. Doctors offended by TV show about nurses

    FullGlass replied to FullGlass's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Jackie did a great job of creating a show around nurses. When you think about it, in a hospital, the doctor pops in for 10 or 15 minutes a couple times a day, but the nurses are there 24/7 with...

  12. Failed my third semester, should I do anything about it?

    FullGlass replied to Sillycat's topic in General Students

    Try to reapply. Ask your advisor and instructors you trust on the best way to do this. One of my BSN classmates had similar test anxiety issues. He really did know the material, as he demonstrated...

    I don't want to be in this position again. Background: Last October, we had our quarterly all-staff meeting and the CEO said they were in deep doo-doo financially: 1. Their Medicaid reconciliation...

  15. Let’s talk numbers and visit frequency

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

    I just changed jobs to another FQHC and the primary care providers have high turnover and low morale. There is a very high no show rate (30%), so the clinic double books PCPs. That puts them under a...

  16. Doctors offended by TV show about nurses

    FullGlass replied to FullGlass's topic in General Nursing

    Online they really do come across as whiny prima donnas. I often feel appalled or laugh when reading KevinMD. Yet in real life, the doctors I work with are cool. Here is an article by a doctor,...

    FullGlass replied to mads197's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This topic has been discussed at length on Allnurses, with links to studies on the topic. I suggest you find these discussions on AN. Frankly, if you make an assertion, you bear the burden of...

    FullGlass replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also changed careers. I started an ABSN program at 53, and finished my MSN and became an NP at 57. My age is not a hindrance and I didn't feel any discrimination by my fellow students or most of...

    FullGlass replied to omotee's topic in Advanced Practice

    The OP indicated they are working. I'm assuming they are working as an RN. RN's make decent money. Studying to be a provider is a big commitment. I don't know how skills can be taught well except...

  24. too soon to be an NP?

    FullGlass replied to mads197's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
