  1. Can a graduated nurse be a medical assistant ?

    You should be able to get a job as an MA. A lot of clinics employ LPNs in this role. Good

  4. Two jobs, one has to go

    FullGlass replied to aerorunner80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are new NP and you have 2 small children. That is very stressful. Just do the 32 hour/week job and then later you can always pick up a side gig or maybe do 40 hours a week at your main job. I...

  5. Private or State school?

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

    When applying to nursing programs, they are most concerned with your nursing prereq GPA. If that is decent, then don't worry about your GED. If you do get a C in A&P, take it over. In general,...

    FullGlass replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Disaster Preparation

  9. What's the least saturated specialty in APRN?

    FullGlass replied to soljhs's topic in Advanced Practice

    Why are you asking? "Saturation" varies by area. You need to research the job market in the area(s) where you want to

  10. NP vs FNP

    FullGlass replied to omotee's topic in Advanced Practice

    Honestly, if you are going to be an acute care NP then you need to have some in person training for skills and procedures. Being expected to go to the campus only twice over the course of the studies...

  11. First lawsuit over CA gig economy law

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry, I can't find the original thread on this topic. CA enacted a "gig economy" law that is supposed to take effect 1/1/20 which would make it difficult for many workers, including NPs, to work as...

  12. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    I am glad that you are happy in central IL. While you may consider CA and MD to be high cost states, cost of living varies widely by area within those states. As for my statement about food, I...

    FullGlass replied to bluebeetle7's topic in California Nursing

    You can apply for the RN and NP licenses at the same time. You must also apply for a Furnishing at the same time. Calif allows you to apply for temp licenses at the same time and those will come in...

  15. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    While I agree with you on picking Washington, taxes are not so simple. I've addressed income tax and marginal rates. Property tax is higher in both Oregon and Washington. Given the Oregon tax...

  16. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    Incorrect. The California state income tax has brackets which are highly progressive. You are quoting the highest MARGINAL tax rate which only applies to income OVER $572,000. For single and...

  17. Why do clinics advertise for an NP for months and months without hiring?

    FullGlass posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm wondering if anyone here has outpatient management experience or has insight into this. I will be starting a new position on Dec 2 and am very happy about this, so it didn't really affect me, but...

  19. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    You are correct that air quality in the Central Valley (San Joaquin Valley) can be bad at times. I would not recommend it for people with respiratory conditions. However, millions of people live...

  20. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    FullGlass replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I think it might be because our hospital was international and had a lot of Middle Eastern patients - very wealthy patients and a wing of the hospital is named after a wealthy Mid-East donor. The...

  21. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    FullGlass replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. At my nursing school, patients were always asked if it was okay for a student to be present. In addition, the RNs on the shift were asked about students before the shift, as sometimes...

  22. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    FullGlass replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Nice try. You just don't have any evidence and don't want to admit it. I happen to live in the real world and am very busy. How about this: You: "Dear Ms. X (patient), what would be your gender...

  24. Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

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

    Well, that is the exception, not the norm. There was a thread here about Kaiser RNs in Sacramento making up to $200K per year because they are covered by the San Francisco contract and SF RNs make...

  25. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    FullGlass replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Please give me some evidence that female Ob/Gyn patients are traumatized by being asked if they are okay with a student observing. There is none because we have to ask patients if they are okay with...
