  1. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    You make some valid points. What most people don't realize is that very few people who go to Hopkins or and Ivy League school pay full price. As I stated, as a California resident, Hopkins was...

  2. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    Wrong. When you apply for your first RN job as a new grad, that is the first thing an employer will look at. They will also demand a copy of your transcripts. And don't delude yourself. I've been...

  3. Hands on Training in school?

    FullGlass replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in General Nursing

    I "mis-wrote" by stating full responsibility. My intention was to indicate that we were not just shadowing, but were assigned up to 6 patients per shift and we were expected to perform basic RN...

  4. NOW what?? Terrified...

    FullGlass replied to erocafeller's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What is your employer's policy on marijuana? Granted I am in California, where pot is legal, but I worked for an FQHC and we were told they didn't care if providers screened positive for

  5. Job prospect after UCSF ACNP program?

    FullGlass replied to Cupquake12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, I went to Hopkins, but I think the answers would be similar. UCSF is one of the best programs in the nation. Generally, students at such schools receive at least one job offer as a result of a...

  6. Low cumulative GPA - feeling discouraged

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

    My situation was similar to yours. My initial undergrad GPA in non-nursing majors was bad - I was young and struggling with a lot of personal issues. I ended having a successful business career and...

  7. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    The point is that this is a personal decision. How a person chooses to spend their money is their business and no one else's. That is why some people buy a Mercedes and others buy a Chevy, why some...

  8. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    There is no special test to work in California as an RN - it's the NCLEX like everywhere else. California takes forever to process the license application, you might be better off working in NY for a...

  9. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    FullGlass replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    Why do people need to justify their choice of educational institution? It is THEIR decision and they are the ones who will pay for tuition and any loans. Some of them may also come from wealthy...

  11. If The Cali Board Of Nursing Accuses You Give Up Your License

    FullGlass replied to dmstanl1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Why are you drinking and driving? How about taking responsibility for your poor choices and bad behavior? Nurses in California make excellent money and are fortunate to have unions and safe...

  12. Failed By One point

    FullGlass replied to amianurse's topic in General Students

    I am really sorry. But I am also surprised - were you told you were kicked out of school completely? In my ABSN program, the school wanted us to graduate. There were some students who failed a...

  13. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    FullGlass replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    My apologies for the misunderstanding. I was paying ADN programs a compliment! They are often better at teaching skills. I was in no way trying to say or imply that they are less able to teach the...

  14. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    FullGlass replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    So what are you trying to say? Please

  15. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    FullGlass replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    What are you saying? That a nurse who is great at skills but sucks at everything else is a great nurse? Some people struggle with the physical mechanics of skills. That is what I am addressing. I...

  16. CSUB - RN to BSN reviews

    FullGlass replied to hira2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm an NP in California. You just started your BSN program - congratulations. No one can guarantee that you will get into UCLA for your MSN. That is the brutal truth. All you can do is apply....

  17. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    FullGlass replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. My issue are the the blanket statements on this forum by some posters that basically new RN grads all suck. When I was an RN student, and then an NP student, I made the mistake of...

  18. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    FullGlass replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    1. I am simply responding to previous posts that suggest that current RN grads are somehow less prepared than in the past. I also responded that at least at my school, RN students had complete...

  19. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    FullGlass replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and thank you for proving my point. A nurse can be the best at skills, but still not be a good

  20. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    FullGlass replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone provide any actual evidence of nursing schools lowering clinical hours and expected nursing student performance? I graduated from my ABSN program in 2014 and was expected to care for up...

  21. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    FullGlass replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    RNs that go to a patient's home care for only that patient while in that home. They don't have to simultaneously care for 6-8 patients. I'm not saying home care is easy, but in certain respects it...

  22. 30-Unit Program. Lower job opportunities/pay or nah?

    FullGlass replied to helgaiden's topic in General Students

    I don't understand why doing a bridge from LVN to RN is a problem. I'm also in California. At a community college, LVN is a one year program, going full-time. RN would be a 2 year program. So the...

  23. Suspended for touching a child's head and face

    FullGlass replied to GG66's topic in Emergency

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. Please talk to a lawyer ASAP. The initial consult is usually free. If you have a union, talk to your rep. Providers are also getting hit with this kind of...

  24. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    FullGlass replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    Like you, I changed careers to nursing mid-life and graduated from an ABSN program, but I went straight into an NP program. What I found was that many employers would consider me for jobs like case...

  25. Masters vs DNP?

    FullGlass replied to sicurnccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just recently graduated from Hopkins, which is moving to all-DNP. However, my professors said it makes more sense to get the MSN, start working as an NP, then go to school part time to get the DNP,...
