  1. Should I leave nursing school, even if I just started?

    FullGlass replied to willowmadrone's topic in General Students

    Please don't worry so much about skills. Anyone can learn the skills, but not everyone can develop the personal qualities of warmth, compassion, empathy. I went to an ABSN program and struggled with...

  2. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    I don't know why you are so hung up on Hopkins. I gave you other examples of STATE schools that are affordable and also find preceptors. Granted, those are for local residents, but I'm sure Florida...

  3. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    The problem with schools that don't find preceptors is that the students have no guarantee of finding one. Good for you that you were able to find preceptors. However, this forum is full of...

  4. GPA and Applying to ABSN programs

    FullGlass replied to stone562's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My situation was similar to yours. The schools are most concerned about your nursing prereq grades and your most recent academic performance. You can indicate in your admissions essay that you made...

  5. NP or PA?

    FullGlass replied to Reaz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NP programs vary in quality. There are excellent NP programs out there and it is up to the prospective student to do some research to find them. Having worked with PAs, I don't see them as superior...

  6. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    I previously provided more affordable examples of schools that find preceptors, such as UCLA and Cal State LA. Cal State LA is much more affordable than most for-profit schools, for California...

  7. PNP vs FNP

    FullGlass replied to allycat77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You have to decide what you really want to do. FNP is the broadest and will give you the most options. If you only want to work with kids, then do the PNP. Another consideration is getting a job....

  8. Struggling with research project in NP school--Need to vent

    FullGlass replied to Nurse_For_Wear's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As an NP, you will need to be able to conduct medical research and also to understand the medical research papers you read. Should you decide to go on to pursue a PhD or DNP, this will become even...

  9. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    True, but I think our current healthcare system needs major reform. I'd like to see price transparency and more use made of cash payment. I think a lot of patients would benefit from having some...

  10. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    Hopkins will find clinical placements for their students, no matter the location. Of course, they appreciate any help the student can provide. The Hopkins name opens a lot of doors. It is hard to...

  11. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    Yes, I agree. I think patients should be charged less to see an NP. It is the clinics that are pocketing the "profit" in staffing NPs. If patients paid less to see an NP, demand for NPs would go...

  12. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    You are largely correct. Personally, I think this is an issue and is tied to the general lack of price transparency in health care. What NPs have done is provide greater access to healthcare by...

  13. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    Sorry, but this is not true. Schools that provide preceptors and cost per unit: Johns Hopkins FNP DNPs $1721 Johns Hopkins Post Master's PMHNP $1631 UCLA $17,232 for California residents Cal State LA...

  14. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    We do agree on the most important issues. With regard to classes, the reason for those fluff classes is that the accreditation bodies require those. So, that is where the change needs to be made....

  15. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    We can't assume that the supply of new NP grads will continue to increase ad infinitum. Not all new grad NPs can get a job and some of them return to nursing because they don't like being an NP,...

  16. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    The reason top schools are dropping the GRE requirement is that the GRE: 1. is not a reliable predictor of future academic success 2. discriminates against the poor and minorities 3. it does not...

  17. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    One more thing - I don't know why students would pay a lot of money to go to a school that does not find preceptors! Would any of you gone to a nursing school for your RN if they did not find...

  18. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    I would not assume the production of NPs will continue to increase. For one thing, there is a shortage of qualified and willing faculty. "The United States could see a shortage of up to 120,000...

  19. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    We don't have an oversupply of NPs. We have a distribution problem. At least in primary care, there is a shortage of providers of all types in many parts of the country. While the number of NPs is...

  21. #AMAGetOutTheWay: Nurses, Doctors, and Students United

    FullGlass replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Single payor healthcare is not the only way to achieve universal health care coverage. I'm so tired of people assuming this. 1. There are other countries with models that may be better. Germany is...

  22. To work or not to work? Starting FNP program

    FullGlass replied to RNSG's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you don't have to work, you should be able to complete your degree faster and get an NP job

  23. FNP, DNP vs. MSN?

    FullGlass replied to nurse_bri's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Something to consider is time and cost. If you can do the DNP in the same time and for the same cost as the MSN, then go for it. However, another option is to earn the MSN, then start working, and...

  24. Nursing then NP or CRNA as a second Job.

    FullGlass replied to jobjohnson's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I switched careers from high tech to nursing. You will make more money in high tech, plain and simple. I was happy to take a pay cut because I am much happier as an NP. In high tech, if you are...

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

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

    Definitely yes. I've seen some horrible primary care
