  1. Women's Right to Choose

    FullGlass replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am pro-choice, but this is not a clear-cut issue. If fetuses are not "human beings," then why are pregnant women subject to punishment for child abuse for drug abuse during pregnancy? A pregnant...

  2. Women's Right to Choose

    FullGlass replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Men must pay child support unless they are dead or in

  3. Switch from AGPCNP to FNP? AGACNP? or ENP?

    FullGlass replied to kelsey939's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Finding a preceptor should not be too hard for a practicing NP. An NP working in a larger clinic may already be working with a Peds and/or Women's Health provider. An NP working in general primary...

  4. New Grad NP salary Texas

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

    I felt the same way. Go ahead and apply. Yes, the needs-based is an important component, but think about obstacles you have had to overcome. In addition, stating you have a commitment to working in...

  5. Clinical Question - Tampon left in for one month

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

    The WHNP gave pt a rocephin injection. I'm not sure what happened after

  6. Clinical Question - Tampon left in for one month

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What is the standard process for a patient who left a tampon in? I had a patient who left one in for about a month, realized it, removed it. Prior to removal, she had developed foul odor, unpleasant...

  7. America needs more mental health providers. Nurses want to help, if states let them.

    FullGlass replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    I agree with you. I am applying to post-master's PMHNP programs now and am truly passionate about going into mental health. During my BSN program, I had 3 psych rotations because I requested that my...

  8. America needs more mental health providers. Nurses want to help, if states let them.

    FullGlass replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Psych scares most people. 1. It is not a quick and tangible fix, like I&D, caring for a cold, etc. 2. One must deal with and face their own crap to do well in psych. 3. Many people are scared...

  9. Switch from AGPCNP to FNP? AGACNP? or ENP?

    FullGlass replied to kelsey939's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That seems odd. The only things you will need for the FNP are peds and some additional women's health. So you need 1 peds clinical rotation and 1 women's health clinical rotation, plus the didactic...

  10. Can an RN make $200K a year working 24 hours a week?

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

    I agree. $200K isn't that much if you have to live in the SF Bay Area. At any rate, if I could make $200K by just working 24 hours a week, I'd take that gig! This person is just confused IMHO and...

  11. Can an RN make $200K a year working 24 hours a week?

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

    I seriously doubt there is a floor RN position that will pay $200K per year for only 24 hours per

  12. Switch from AGPCNP to FNP? AGACNP? or ENP?

    FullGlass replied to kelsey939's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are part time jobs available. In addition, some clinics offer 4 10-hour

  13. NPs: What Clinical Rotations Did You LEARN the MOST?

    FullGlass replied to the VEGAN Professor's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This does not make sense. What school are you going to? I fail to see how working in an inpatient setting will provide primary care training, which is what an FNP student needs. Do you understand...

  14. NPs: What Clinical Rotations Did You LEARN the MOST?

    FullGlass replied to the VEGAN Professor's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To the OP: As an FNP student, you will only do primary care rotations. If you want to work in a hospital, then you need to earn an Acute Care NP. This should be clearly spelled out in your school's...

  15. How much math is actually used in Nursing school and at the job site?

    FullGlass replied to nay018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will need basic math and a little algebra to calculate medication dosages, that's all. Your nursing school will provide instruction in dosage

  16. Switch from AGPCNP to FNP? AGACNP? or ENP?

    FullGlass replied to kelsey939's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just finish your current program, then do a post-master's certificate to earn an FNP. The certificate won't require many classes. That way, you can work at least part-time to defray the cost of the...

  17. RANT!!! Can’t get INTO AN RN PROGRAM I AM A LPN!!! GPA ISSUES

    FullGlass replied to Meghan3332's topic in LPN to RN

    Consider going to a community college to get an AA degree. Take classes that are prereqs for the RN program there and try to get all A's if possible. In addition, take the general ed requirements...

  18. Low Salary @ the VA as NP

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

    The VA offers location differential pay, so an NP in Los Angeles is going to make more money than an NP in Houston. I don't know where you are getting your information. The VA publishes public pay...

  19. Online Nurse Practitioner school

    FullGlass replied to rachelr720's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Suggest you wait until you know where you will be living before applying to school. There might be a B&M school near

  20. Johns Hopkins vs Seton Hall

    FullGlass replied to Myheartskipsabeat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations on getting accepted by JHUSON. That is a huge honor. Please don't write off primary care - there is a high need for primary care providers in many parts of the country. Hopefully,...

  21. Work-life balance?

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

    For assessment, our system carries over dx codes from the bill, so I just go with that if it is simple, like strep throat. For situations with possible differentials, I just list the differential dx...

  22. Work-life balance?

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

    Our EHR does not have the smart phrase option, either. I was told to make my notes short and sweet, and I strive to do so. I can also type very fast. I try to chart as I go, usually work through...

  23. Johns Hopkins vs Seton Hall

    FullGlass replied to Myheartskipsabeat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you serious? Of course the brand matters. Why do you think people work so hard to get into Ivy League universities, UCLA, UC Berkeley, etc.? Who do you think hires most NPs? Doctors! And...

  24. Johns Hopkins vs Seton Hall

    FullGlass replied to Myheartskipsabeat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hopkins has an Acute Care NP program. So if you want acute care, do the acute care program. If you want a DNP, then go to Hopkins. It is a better "brand" and internationally

  25. NP Wikipedia Article

    FullGlass replied to Riburn3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Physicians adhere to a bell curve - most are ok, some are awesome, and some of them are terrible. Physicians are NOT all created equal. Here are some of my observations about MDs: 1. Many MDs have...
