  1. Does it matter where I get my MSN-FNP?

    FullGlass replied to allstarnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Also, just so you know, I already have 2 job offers and one of them is to be the Assistant Medical Director of a decent size FQHC system with multiple clinics - part time provider and part time...

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

    FullGlass replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    After 1-2 years as a primary care NP, you might want to move into Urgent Care. A busy urgent care definitely provides that sense of hustle and bustle and variety. It is also a great chance to learn...

  3. Does it matter where I get my MSN-FNP?

    FullGlass replied to allstarnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am tired of you coming after me. To other readers, djmatte actually went to another forum and complained about me, by name, there. In the past he has written some pretty aggressive posts to and...

  4. Does it matter where I get my MSN-FNP?

    FullGlass replied to allstarnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm curious how many of the readers here have had to recruit providers or other staff? I have extensive recruiting experience in my previous business career and I have also helped an MD recruit a...

  5. Does it matter where I get my MSN-FNP?

    FullGlass replied to allstarnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The problem with this approach is that there may not be a job opening in your network when you need one. From reading this forum, there are areas of the country where the NP job market is...

  6. Does it matter where I get my MSN-FNP?

    FullGlass replied to allstarnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I also want to point out that a good school doesn't mean just private schools like Yale or Hopkins. A state college or university is a solid, reputable choice and for state residents, the cost is...

  7. AGACDNP Career Trajectory

    FullGlass replied to AF2BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You might want to consider working as an RN in the OR for awhile, before pursuing a DNP. While doing that, you could get the First Assist certification and your employer would likely pay for it. Some...

  8. Did you feel prepared after graduation?

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

    Pretty much every new NP feels this way. There are an increasing number of NP residencies available, so I suggest you try to get into one of these. As for remember information, your employer should...

  9. Does it matter where I get my MSN-FNP?

    FullGlass replied to allstarnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Again, over and over I read on this forum that there are too many crappy for-profit online schools out there. Then I also read that too many new NP grads are completely clueless. Yet, the same...

  10. Does it matter where I get my MSN-FNP?

    FullGlass replied to allstarnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That is not my experience. As a new grad NP, school does matter, since the new grad has no experience. RN experience doesn't matter to employers in primary care - it may matter to acute care...

  11. Does it matter where I get my MSN-FNP?

    FullGlass replied to allstarnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Personally, I believe in going to the best school you can. MDs are certainly aware of the "brand name" schools, as most of these also have good medical schools, and it can definitely give you a leg...

  12. Years of RN experience before NP

    FullGlass replied to NewOncNurseRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    It depends on your NP specialty. If you intend to be an Acute Care NP, then having some relevant RN experience will likely be viewed as a plus by employers. In addition, many Oncology NP positions...

  13. Stressed as a nurse practitioner resident

    FullGlass replied to nurse7502's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    LOL. Well, I interviewed at a sleep medicine clinic. There is a physical exam to check for airway passage size. But, basically, everyone gets a sleep study. I have sent patients to this clinic and...

  15. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    What are you talking about? A primary care NP works 8 to 5 M-F, and many can work 4 10-hour shifts, with no on-call and no weekends. While some RNs can make a lot of money, that is generally from...

  16. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    Don't worry about what is posted on this forum. Some people here like to preach doom and gloom endlessly. There are plenty of primary care NP jobs out there, but you should be prepared to relocate...

  17. Job opportunities

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

    It is hard to get that first NP job. You need to find areas with a shortage of primary care providers. Employers in those areas are much more receptive to hiring new

  18. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

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

    I don't understand your point. No RN is going to make $350K a year in Texas and bring home $242K a

  19. Unhappy as new NP

    FullGlass replied to PinkTulips13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oncology prefers NPs with acute care

  20. Student Loans and Debt

    FullGlass replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are confusing loan repayment with loan forgiveness. The loan forgiveness programs are a mess, true. Loan repayment does work and plenty of people get

  21. Anxious About Clinicals

    FullGlass replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on starting nursing school! It is normal to feel nervous about starting clinicals. At least at my school, the first clinical is designed to be relatively easy and the students...

  22. Free Textbooks?

    FullGlass replied to Jazzi_CNA's topic in General Students

    At my school, there was a designated area where donations could be left for other students, like used textbooks, scrubs, shoes, etc. Ask to see if your school has that and if not, start

  23. NP Career advice after staying home with kids

    FullGlass replied to RN2030's topic in Advanced Practice

    You might consider volunteering. Many cities have free clinics or organizations that have volunteers work with the homeless one or two days a week. Good

  24. 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, rural medicine can be rewarding, but it is not for everyone. Worst case, you do it for one or two years. There are also many rural areas that are within 20 or 30 miles of a decent-sized town,...

  25. 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

    Sorry you also went through something similar and thank you for your kind words. As for the Nurse Corps, I still have one year left, so my next job will have to be in an area that fulfills their...
