  1. 100% online school... skills?

    FullGlass replied to Mibos's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Please talk to someone at the school and ask them. Many online programs require some on-campus time - usually once or twice a semester - so you can learn and practice skills. Others require a...

  2. DPC (Direct Primary Care) for FNP independent practice

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

    I have seen some jobs advertised for NPs to work in a DPC

  3. FNP Made to Work Alone?

    FullGlass replied to AnaLong's topic in Advanced Practice

    Can you relocate? HRSA website is not the best source for jobs. Use general job search resources such as Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, etc. When you find an interesting job, then you can find...

  4. FNP study tactics

    FullGlass replied to BodyInMotion's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you know your learning style? People have different learning styles, which can include: visual, audio, kinesthetic (movement), etc. There are online quizzes which can help you determine your...

  5. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    From what I know, the direct entry MSN RN programs are for people who have a bachelor's degree in a non-nursing field. That is also true of ABSN programs. The term "Master" refers to the graduate...

  6. HUGE step forward for NP's!!!

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

    I agree with a lot of your points. I'm wondering if there is a way to compensate providers based on the complexity of their patients. Is this the RVU system? (I've only been paid a straight...

  7. FNP Made to Work Alone?

    FullGlass replied to AnaLong's topic in Advanced Practice

    No, you are not crazy or asking for too much. This clinic is being unreasonable. The norm is to have a dedicated MA or nurse for each provider. If the MA or nurse calls out sick, then arrangements...

    FullGlass replied to ADNRN2016's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    1. While schools must make enough money to be financially viable, they are not all businesses. The top schools are non-profits. Given that they have far more applicants than spaces, they hardly...

  9. Switch from FNP to AGPCNP???

    FullGlass replied to friendlylark's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are plenty of jobs for Adult NPs. Most patients are adults. Most specialties only deal with adults. An FNP will provide the most opportunities, as many clinics want someone who can see all...

  10. too soon to be an NP?

    FullGlass replied to mads197's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You can go straight from BSN to MSN FNP. Primary care NP programs do not require RN work

  11. FNP Made to Work Alone?

    FullGlass replied to AnaLong's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well, that sucks. At any rate, if the nurse or MA is not there to do vitals and so forth, then you need to have more time per patient - 10-15 minutes more. If your management doesn't understand...

  12. FNP Made to Work Alone?

    FullGlass replied to AnaLong's topic in Advanced Practice

    What do you mean by "alone?" Do you mean you are the only provider or do you mean you are the only person present? I don't understand why you say "I work at an FQHC, which is stressful enough." I...

  13. HUGE step forward for NP's!!!

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

    The argument is equal pay for equal work. I have mixed feelings about this, but favor equal pay for equal work. Doctors definitely have more education and training. However, I don't see the logic...

  14. NP Worries

    FullGlass replied to ADNRN2016's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What is your problem? You found a path that worked for you. Great. Do you have an issue with me acknowledging that? Fact: the top NP schools do not require RN experience for primary care NPs....

  15. Duke FNP program is supposed to find you clinical placement. They have not.

    I suggest you make an appointment to speak with the Dean ASAP. You may also wish to consult with an

  16. NP Worries

    FullGlass replied to ADNRN2016's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Good for you. As I said, if someone feels they need that RN experience, then they are free to work as an RN before becoming a primary care NP. My point is the evidence indicates that RN experience is...

  17. Advice needed about changing majors... I feel like I've made a mistake

    FullGlass replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    Are you for real? You have a FAMILY!!! Grow up! Get your accounting degree, get a decent job, and start providing a decent living for your family. As has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum,...

  18. NP Worries

    FullGlass replied to ADNRN2016's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you want to be an acute care NP and work in a hospital, then you need at least one year of RN experience to get into a reputable acute care NP program. Hospitals are moving away from FNPs, as...

  19. Does L&D experience count for NP school?

    FullGlass replied to AUNurse19's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    RN experience counts for NP school. It doesn't matter what area it is in. If you really are into L&D, you could become a Women's Health NP or a Certified Nurse

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    Anyone is free to choose PA school over NP school. NPs are trained according to the nursing model of care, whereas PAs are trained under the medical model. Nursing does include concern for...

  21. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    My situation was similar to yours. I started nursing school at age 53. With regard to RN experience for an NP, if you want to be an acute care NP (work in a hospital), then you must have RN work...

  22. Hands on Training in school?

    FullGlass replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in General Nursing

    My NP program had very little shadowing. For example, I had a rotation in a busy Urgent Care. My preceptor let me shadow the first day and also had me learn how to use the EMR. Starting with the...

  25. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    My Hopkins education was CHEAPER than a public university in my home state! The reason I am taking the time to write about this is to help people who may be ruling out an education at a top school,...
