  2. How NOT to Recruit an NP

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

    Thank you - as to why, I just posted a long explanation as to why. Again, thank you for your good wishes. You can do primary care for your whole career, if that is what you want. Primary care can...

    FullGlass replied to OncRN2015's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are correct. They are not making you a great offer. Keep

  4. Locum work as a new grad?

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

    Most locums agencies require at least 1 year of experience. As a new grad NP, you need A LOT of training, and most healthcare organizations are not going to do that for a locums. The hiring...

  5. Peds NP No MA??? Overwhelmed!

    FullGlass replied to PedsNP12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, it is normal for an NP to have an MA. Do the MDs have an MA? If so, then you should,

    I was at a job interview and shadowing at a large primary care practice. Doctor is review xrays for 71 y.o. woman with back pain. Radiologist report states IUD is present. Doctor missed this, but I...

  7. How NOT to Recruit an NP

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

    You make interesting points. The colonoscopies were at a very large primary care practice. They offer colonoscopies and have their own lab, xray machine, DEXA, US, mammogram machine and will be...

  8. Student Loans and Debt

    FullGlass replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What I meant is that CNMs have been around for a very long time, even if not in a formal certification sense. Midwives have been delivering babies for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. So there...

  9. Where to move in SoCal?

    FullGlass replied to NickiTeleRN's topic in California Nursing

    I'm from North County (northern San Diego County). It is hard to get a job here because everyone wants to live here, so there are tons of applicants. In addition, there are a huge amount of ex- and...

  10. When to apply for nurse practioner programs

    FullGlass replied to Seyleigh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It depends what kind of NP you want to be. If you want to be in Acute Care or Oncology, you MUST have RN experience and that makes perfect sense. If you plan to go into primary care, you don't need...

  11. Adult PC NPs working in urgent care or fast track?

    FullGlass replied to kelsey939's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes. I am also an AGPCNP and was offered an Urgent Care job. Large hospitals that run Urgent Care centers often have multiple providers working on a shift, so they can have some Adult NPs. Some...

  12. Student Loans and Debt

    FullGlass replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This topic has been beaten to death endlessly on this forum. This OP wants to be an FNP. FNP = primary care. Being an RN will not be of much benefit in this situation. That is why there are direct...

  14. Student Loans and Debt

    FullGlass replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would not advise buying a house until the OP has completed her NP program and knows exactly where she wants to live. It generally does not pay off to buy a house and live in it for less than 5...

    You should also look into the National Health Corps http://www.nationalhealthcorps.org/national/member-benefits US Public Health Service https://www.usphs.gov/questionsanswers/applying.aspx You are...

  16. Student Loans and Debt

    FullGlass replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It appears you are in California, and I am too. This is doable. California NPs make good money. I suggest you use a payment calculator to see what kind of payments you are looking at. Here's one I...

  17. Student Loans and Debt

    FullGlass replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You have to look at your projected earnings and that is going to vary by location. However, this cost seems excessive. You'd be better off going to PA school and it would cost less and have pretty...

  18. NP Salaries

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

    Hi there. I got multiple offers. I'm not familiar with the market on the central coast. There is a shortage of providers of all types in the San Joaquin Valley and in the North State (Redding/Chico...

  19. For Primary Care, can an NP ever be as skilled as an MD?

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

    I am appalled at the egocentrism of many doctors. In addition, I've seen cases of a primary care doc trying to treat a patient when the patient really needs to see a specialist. Primary care doc...

  20. Leaving federal job for nursing school

    FullGlass replied to guest62419's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know RNs who recently worked their way through nursing school and have zero debt. It is still possible to do so. Yes, it is important to be realistic, but also means acknowledging that nursing can...

  21. Leaving federal job for nursing school

    FullGlass replied to guest62419's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're making $26 an hour at NIH, that's roughly $52,000 per year (2,0000 hours per year approximately for a full time employee). If you are in the DC Metro area, that is not a lot of money. Is...

  22. Should I become an NP?

    FullGlass replied to Reaz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I suggest you get into the OR as an RN first to make sure this is what you really want to do. RNFA is a great job with excellent pay, as well, and you may be happy in that role for the remainder of...

  23. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    Johns Hopkins has moved to distance education for many of its NP programs and they find preceptors. As I have repeatedly stated, don't just look at the "list" price. Hopkins has a lot of financial...

  24. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    I have previously, on multiple indications, addressed the GRE issue. The GRE is NOT a good predictor of success in graduate programs. It is also discriminatory. That is why more and more schools,...
