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

    FullGlass replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care if some of you think it's sexist. Too bad. The vast majority of sexual assaults on women are committed by men. That's a no brainer. And given that around 90% of nurses are women,...

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

    FullGlass replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    My point is that I don't care if the question was biased and I don't care if the male student nurse's feelings were hurt. I put the patient first. It is not the job of patients to make the nurses...

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

    FullGlass replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, here is what you said: "For male nursing students she said, "there's a male nursing student interested in helping with your care Today and I just wanted to make sure is that okay with you?" In...

  4. 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 also live and work in CA. I've also lived in Maryland. Evidently, you don't live in CA. We need NPs in most of CA, so I don't want people to just assume they can't afford to live and work in CA....

  5. 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

    It depends on where you are living. No, less populated areas are not more expensive than other states. I have no idea where you are getting your information. I am renting a 2 BR 2 BA house with a...

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

    FullGlass replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    In Ob/Gyn, many patients prefer female providers and nurses. That is their right. It may be personal preference or due to cultural or religious reasons. Traditionally, L&D was a "women's"...

  7. 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 got a job offer in California before I had even completed my MSN for a psych NP position. They didn't require a PMHNP because they would train themselves. That ended up not working out,...

  8. 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, I got my RN license in 10 weeks, then it took 3 months for NP license. The furnishing is fast. No matter where you work, you have to get the DEA. You don't have to find a psychiatrist - your...

  9. 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

    California hands down has the highest NP pay at $124K. Most of California is actually very affordable. The expensive cities/metro areas are San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. That leaves...

  10. Board of Nursing Complaint

    FullGlass replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am so sorry you have to deal with this. As others have said, please consult with an attorney. The first consultation is usually free. I would also advise you go back and check your charts to...

    Hello all, I'm moving to Sacramento soon for a new NP job. The clinic is in South Sacramento, near Elk Grove. I'm not familiar with Sacramento and would appreciate any tips on living there, best...

  12. HELP I don’t know what I’m doing

    FullGlass replied to ddsnnurse98's topic in General Students

    Have you analyzed which questions you are getting wrong on exams? Is it basic knowledge or is it the NCLEX-type questions? That info will direct your study strategy. Do you know what kind of learner...

    JHUSON alum here. You have a good chance. JHUSON isn't just interested in GPA. They highly value diversity and individuals with relevant life experience and volunteer experience. Being a male and...

  14. Director wants to change all 12 hr shift nurses to 10 hr!!!!

    FullGlass replied to truejewel82's topic in General Nursing

    You can certainly organize to present your case to the Director. However, there is no guarantee that will succeed. Give the four 10s a try and if it isn't working for you, then find another job....

  16. I think I’m going to fail Skills help!!!

    FullGlass replied to Bleblenurs18's topic in General Students

    Those are NCLEX-type questions and they are a pain. What I would advise is to buy some NCLEX review books. To save money, you can buy used books/older editions on Ebay or Amazon. Saunders is the...

  17. New Grad NP - Experiences with Relocation

    FullGlass replied to ela517's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you are looking at jobs in locations with a shortage of providers, they will generally pay relo. In California, for a new grad, relo is $3,000 to $5,000. There is also usually a sign-on bonus on...

  18. Unfair Tests?

    FullGlass replied to EverConfused's topic in General Students

    Try reaching out to the instructor again. If they don't respond, tell them you are going to the Dean and then go to the Dean. The instructor does not have a right to test you on material that was...

  19. Medical schools now adding "fluff"

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is an op ed recently in the Wall Street Journal by an MD. Evidently, some medical schools are now adding social justice topics in place of teaching medicine. This created a firestorm on social...

  20. Medical schools now adding "fluff"

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

    What is wrong with nurses? The amount of self-hatred I see on this forum is incredible. Post after post about how nursing sucks, nursing schools suck, PA school is better than NP school, another...

  21. Medical schools now adding "fluff"

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

    I simply posted an opinion piece by a medical school educator. My purpose in doing was because so many on this forum complain about nursing schools having courses that are considered "fluff" and then...

  22. Medical schools now adding "fluff"

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

    I don't know why you are commenting on an article you didn't read. The point of the article is that the amount of "fluff" in med school curriculums is increasing at the expense of clinical education....

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

    FullGlass replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't gender bias. It's just the times we live in. I'm a primary care NP, and I ALWAYS have a chaperone for a female patient for breast and pelvic exams, and for a male for urogenital exams....

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

    FullGlass replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting article. I'm female. My nursing school was desperate to get more male students! They even offered scholarships just for male students. I am not aware of male nursing students or nurses...
