  1. BSN to PMHNP for better financial stability?

    FullGlass replied to dln0616's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I earned my post master's PMHNP through Johns Hopkins in 1 year and 3 mos. Many of my classmates worked FT, I personally reduced my hours to 24 hours. As I have repeatedly stated, the EVIDENCE...

  2. How Easy is it to Transfer States

    FullGlass replied to enfermeraaa's topic in General Students

    I'd be cautious about a 1 year ABSN. I did a 16 month ABSN and it was very grueling. There was a 13 mo ABSN option at my school and the students in that cohort looked incredibly exhausted. They...

  3. BSN to PMHNP for better financial stability?

    FullGlass replied to dln0616's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As someone who recruits NPs for a mental health practice, I see a big difference in the NPs who had primary care experience vs the NPs that only have a PMHNP. The FNPs or AGPCNPs have a big leg up...

    You might want to compare the curriculums to see if there are clinical credits missing from the out of state programs that the CA programs. Do side by side comparison of the

  5. Advice requested regarding mental health rotation

    FullGlass replied to CardiacNursing's topic in General Students

    You are very welcome. You might talk to your school advisor about doing a pediatric mental health rotation, as that might be easier for you. A large portion of these children have been bullied, and...

  6. California educational requirements - out of state absn

    FullGlass replied to Murseca's topic in General Students

    What are the programs? I earned my ABSN at Johns Hopkins and had no issues getting licensed in CA. There might be some confusion on credits versus units. Might need to clarify if these are...

  7. Curious about loan repayment programs- serving in maternity care deserts

    FullGlass replied to Richelle Paoli's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You are very welcome. I was also thinking that you could research areas with a high birth rate. In developed countries the overall birth rate is dropping, but certain ethnic groups have higher birth...

  8. Studying for a 12-Month ABSN Program

    FullGlass replied to Judy Lu's topic in General Students

    I did a 16 mo ABSN program and it was hard. Frankly, I don't know how anyone can get through a 12 mo ABSN program. My school used to offer a 13 mo program and I talked to some of those students -...

    You may also be able to get a full ride scholarship from HRSA in return for working in an underserved area for 2-4 years. You have to do your own job search and research upon graduation. HRSA...

  11. Nurses opinion re: career

    FullGlass replied to Nursingdreams77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm referring only to physically strenuous work. I'm sorry, but passing meds, wound care, and IVs are not that physically strenuous. My experience as a CNA student was running nonstop all day long,...

  12. Nurses opinion re: career

    FullGlass replied to Nursingdreams77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Calif, and things may be different here. I trained as a CNA or "tech" in a nursing home. The CNAs did all the physically strenuous work and it was very taxing physically. There was an LVN...

  13. Why do psych NPs make more?

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

    Provider pay is also tied to insurance reimbursement. If psychiatry has better reimbursement, then psychiatry providers will get paid

  14. Pre-nursing student trying to transfer to a ADN or BSN program

    FullGlass replied to Lesley01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Then you are not a transfer. You would be a new student. You need to apply to nursing schools, whether it is an ADN, BSN, or MSN. Most community colleges have excellent advising services, so...

  15. Prescribing stimulants?

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

    More people are seeking help for ADHD because awareness of this issue has increased. It doesn't mean these people are drug-seekers. ADHD has been underdiagnosed in adults until recently:...

  16. Nurses opinion re: career

    FullGlass replied to Nursingdreams77's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, in some nursing homes RNs work very hard and it can be physically strenuous. However, there are nursing homes that employ RNs that do not have RNs do physically strenuous

  17. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    Kudos to you. Part of the reason the school matters is selectivity. It is very hard to get into a medical school, so we have some reasonable assurance that MDs are smart and hard-working. It is...

  18. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    Glad to be of help. You also raised an important point. Why do so many RNs and NPs have such a low opinion of themselves and their profession? Can you name any other profession (as opposed to a...

  19. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    Yes, I will not consider nurse practitioners from for-profit schools. Please note there is a big difference between and RN and an NP. You seem to be referring to your experience with RNs. NPs are...

  20. RN pay more than new grad NP pay

    FullGlass replied to MrsClarex4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I never said I was. I am providing information on the general market. There is a difference. But hey, believe what you want. You're not an NP, so I don't understand why you keep going on about...

  21. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    I agree with you. I think the reputable schools do a decent job, as they do not admit everybody. Those schools look at a variety of factors for admission to NP programs. Most don't require GRE...

  23. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    According to the evidence, RN experience does not improve NP competency. I posted a mini evidence review on this. And I know plenty of PMHNPs who were psych RNs who are incompetent

  24. RN pay more than new grad NP pay

    FullGlass replied to MrsClarex4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It has been explained repeatedly what the pay is, in reality, right now, for new grad NPs. There is no shortage of NPs or people who want to be NPs. As has been explained repeatedly, a new grad NP...

  25. Bombshell Article by Bloomberg Businessweek

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

    I'm wondering if we can advocate at the state level. California stricter standards for RN and NP licensing. Maybe we can advocate that the schools must provide clinicals and they can't be...
