  1. Pre-employment THC

    FullGlass replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not sure. However, once when I had a drug test, out of curiosity I asked if ETOH would show up. The tech said that if someone drank the night before the test, it would not show up. That led me...

  2. Pre-employment THC

    FullGlass replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The brutal truth is that cannabis is not legal in every state. And even in states where it is legal, some employers test for it and it can be a basis for not getting a job or losing a job. If...

  3. Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Post-Master's PMHNP Certificate Fall 2023

    FullGlass replied to FNPRCPR's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wow! The program is getting worse, unfortunately. I finished it in 2021. What happened was that the previous PMHNP director retired - she was excellent. The new head of the program startedin 2020...

  4. What should I do if I go into nursing?

    FullGlass replied to Ts2906's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While you are in nursing school, you will have different clinical rotations in areas such as med/surg, psych, L&D, community/public health, pediatrics, etc. That will provide you with the...

  5. Is the nursing field moving toward wanting DNP's?

    FullGlass replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    It is the schools that "want" DNPs. Many have eliminated the MSN NP programs and only offer a DNP. Frankly, the DNP offers nothing from a clinical perspective. I thought about getting one and...

  6. Women's Health Nurse Practitioner School

    FullGlass replied to xxLISAx2xx's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In addition to the advice already provided, think long and hard about a Women's Health specialty. That is narrowly focused, meaning fewer employment opportunities. Carefully research the job...

  7. Is there any hope for me?

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

    Many new NPs feel the same way. Kudos to you for finishing up NP school. You don't need RN experience to be a primary care NP. Working as an RN is not going to give you NP experience, which is what...

  8. Georgetown University and Emory University - Need advice to decide

    FullGlass replied to Dumbo RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations! I don't think it is a good idea to start your ICU program and your MSN at the same time. Ask Georgetown if you can defer. Also, it is not hard at all to get scholarships as an...

  9. My cohorts hate me

    FullGlass replied to gummybear's topic in General Students

    You are coming across as very heavy handed. I said in my original reply that I agreed with other responses to only talk about trivial matters unless one knows the other people very well. The OP is...

  10. My cohorts hate me

    FullGlass replied to gummybear's topic in General Students

    I sure wouldn't want to work with you. I am half Korean, lived in Korea, and originally majored in East Asian Studies at Yale. So I do indeed know a lot about Asian culture, history, economics, and...

  11. My cohorts hate me

    FullGlass replied to gummybear's topic in General Students

    For goodness' sake, lighten up. The OP was joking. The real problem is that people are way too sensitive now. Asian culture is different from American culture. Asians routinely say things to other...

  12. Should I go into Nursing - Portland

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

    Nurse practitoner is my second career. I had a successful business career before becoming an NP. My initial undergrad GPA was horrible! LOL I had a lot of family and personal issues when I was...

  13. Heartbreak and nursing program

    FullGlass replied to Herc1201's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry you are going through this. Breaking up can be very heartbreaking. However, if you are still unable to function properly in school after two months, please seek help. Talk to your...

  14. Northern Kentucky University (NKU) - You get what you pay for

    FullGlass replied to Ally4587's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Caveat emptor. NP students need to make the effort to go to reputable schools! It is not that hard. Online NP schools are a BAD idea. So do yourself a favor if you are contemplating NP...

  15. Can I still go to nursing school with an academic dishonesty charge?

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

    If it is not on your transcript, then it doesn't matter. You can request a copy of your official transcript to be sure there is nothing on there. The nursing schools just get your transcript and...

  16. New NP grad RN-NP

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

    Employers are not expecting a new grad NP to have relevant experience other than their school clinicals. If you are looking to work in a hospital, then your RN experience will be helpful. So you are...

  17. Which path do I take?

    FullGlass replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you. You can search for my post on that subject. Yes, I agree that directly relevant experience can be helpful for an NP, especially for acute care roles in a hospital. But that is not true...

  18. Which path do I take?

    FullGlass replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why are you challenging my PERSONAL experience? Do you know me? I stand that quote, which is based on my PERSONAL experience. Others may have different

  19. Which path do I take?

    FullGlass replied to Amber Spriegel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Respectfully, you are incorrect. RN work experience is not required to be a good NP. I have written about this and have even posted a mini evidence review on this topic on this site. NPs that go...

  20. California educational requirements - out of state absn

    FullGlass replied to Murseca's topic in General Students

    There is nothing wrong with going to a school outside of California. Just make sure the CA BON will accept all classes. A school that is unwilling or unable to provide confirmation that the CA...

  21. California educational requirements - out of state absn

    FullGlass replied to Murseca's topic in General Students

    A school that won't provide information on this is not a good sign. I have heard of CA BON not accepting graduates of some schools for licensure. Why don't you go to a school in CA if you want to...

  22. Got my Pre-Nursing done. What's next?

    FullGlass replied to Katie Kaczka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to an academic advisor at your school. You can also call the admissions offices of nursing schools you are interested in for more info. This info should also be right on their websites - if it...

  23. University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) Online Pre-reqs extended studies

    FullGlass replied to Luna28's topic in School, College Programs

    It should be fine. I did a lot of my prereqs through UCLA Extended Studies and got into Johns Hopkins and UCLA. The course description in the catalog indicates if the class is transferable to a UC...

  24. My body cannot take bedside nursing anymore

    FullGlass replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Some really good suggestions have been offered. One of my nursing school instructors was an RN that became a talk therapist. Our mental health practice also has a talk therapist that was an RN....

  25. Frontier Nursing University / University of West Florida - Scared of FNP school rejection?

    FullGlass replied to GInurse2017's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Please calm down. You should be accepted by at least 1 school. Good
