  1. Starting 2020 NO MORE LOCUMS IN CALIFORNIA

    FullGlass replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It will be interesting how this affects the locums agencies. The key advantage to locums is better pay, and if the agencies cut pay, I'm not sure how they will recruit

  2. Any advice if your boss (an RN manager) isn't willing to work with your school schedule?

    FullGlass replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    It appears you are assuming your manager will say no, but you haven't even asked yet. Just because she said no to someone with a babysitting issue doesn't mean she will say no to you. You are...

  3. What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Until recently, I assumed the most lucrative NP specialty is PMHNP. However, now that I am job-hunting, it appears that Interventional Pain Mgt is also a very lucrative specialty. I'm in California,...

  4. What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

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

    Reading your post, I stand by my comment - you seem kind of negative towards NPs. 1. Again, not all NP schools are created equal. That is true in any profession. There are outstanding schools and...

  5. What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

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

    First, I am not sure how these comments pertain to this thread. We are not discussing the issue of some crappy NP schools being out there. Second, I will clarify that I do not mean NPs perform all...

  6. What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

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

    This is very legitimate. The procedures include steroid injections, lidocaine injections, rhizotomies (buring off the nerve), stem cell regeneration, platelet rich plasma (PRP), minor surgeries...

  7. What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

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

    Yes, I also found this suspicious. However, I was offered a job in interventional pain mgt for $150K in Year 1 and $160K in Year 2. This was legit and the only reason I didn't take it was because of...

  8. I am looking for another NP job. How do I ask about the financial health of organizations?

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

    Yes, I have a job offer that is good and solid with a solid FQHC north of Sacramento. Thank you for your kind

  9. What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

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

    No, it is Interventional Pain Mgt - procedures are the most lucrative part of pain mgt. Year 1 and 2 are not great pay because that is the fellowship portion. The job is in Fresno, you can search...

  10. Specialize as an NP ??? Which one??

    FullGlass replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Honestly, you should consider relocating to an area with a better job market for NPs. Check out my other posts for information on this. My number one piece of advice to new grad NPs: BE FLEXIBLE ON...

  11. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    FullGlass replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for your kind words. I agree with you on getting 2 out of 3 on most matters. Personally, I am getting fed up with California. My goal now is to get a job in an affordable area. When I...

  12. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    FullGlass replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is indeed a shortage of RNs and NPs in certain areas. That is why the Federal Government has the Nurse Corps Scholarship, HRSA Scholarships, and Loan Repayment programs. Many states also have...

  13. Age range Adult-Gerontology NP

    FullGlass replied to Kay80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That makes sense as an increasing number of girls are reaching menarche at younger ages in the 10-12 year range. I have seen 13 year old girls and boys that look like

  14. Age range Adult-Gerontology NP

    FullGlass replied to Kay80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I checked the California regs and did not see a specific age. I just go with 13 and up. In practice, I have seen younger patients if needed, for issues that do not require medication, like sports...

  15. Years of RN experience before NP

    FullGlass replied to NewOncNurseRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree with you. However, there are some RN roles that would help with being a primary care NP - school nurse, there are RNs that work in primary care clinics, so that type of role would be good...

  16. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    FullGlass replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The supply of NPs versus number of jobs varies widely by location. Anyone considering becoming an NP should carefully research the job market where they wish to live and work. In general, the...

  17. Is 63 to old to start nursing school?

    FullGlass replied to Mallory Sunset's topic in General Students

    Don't worry about getting into nursing school. Many schools are looking for diversity and your age is an advantage in this regard. In addition, you have life experience and maturity - an asset in...

  18. NP still working as a bedside nurse on the side...

    FullGlass replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just stop it. You are the one that needs to get the giant chip off your shoulder. You don't know me and you are not in a position to judge me. I am a Nurse Corps Scholar and and I changed careers...

  19. Failing a nursing class

    FullGlass replied to nursingstudent_2019's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't worry about this right now. Pass the course and become an RN. Get some highly relevant experience as an RN to the type of NP you want to be. That will outweigh this blip in school. In...

  20. Scared RN ?

    FullGlass replied to JenMH88RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NP programs are at the graduate school level. The material is more complicated. However, I found it easier than my ABSN program because the "boot camp" feeling was gone. My MSN professors treated...

  21. NP still working as a bedside nurse on the side...

    FullGlass replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    I hope you are not a SJW. I am biracial and my family started out poor. I chose to work in a very poor rural area. Don't presume to make these types of comments to me. I was speaking from a...

  22. Is 63 to old to start nursing school?

    FullGlass replied to Mallory Sunset's topic in General Students

    I honestly think you are reaching the upper limit, age-wise. I started my ABSN at age 53. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. We did have a student in her 60s and she dropped out. You can...

  23. Why is there a 7 year limit on prerequisites for nursing?

    FullGlass replied to mdwatkins13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In California, most of us take the prereqs through a community college, and that is very inexpensive. The nursing schools don't make any money off that. I don't understand why the OP is so upset...

  24. What are the Best Urgent Care NP Residencies?

    FullGlass replied to indomie23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In general, most urgent care positions require 1-2 years of primary care experience. However, some large hospitals that also have urgent care will hire new grad NPs and train them, but it may not be...

  25. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

    FullGlass replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Community college is not free in California. It is very low cost for state residents, but it is not
