  1. Work-life balance?

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

    What is making you spend so much time charting? My clinic has a horrible EHR, yet after 1 year I am able to finish my charting by 5:30 pm 80% of the time. Some of our providers don't work during...

  2. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    FullGlass replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I sympathize with your plight. Unfortunately, the owner of a property can decide who does and does not get to park there. You've received a lot of good suggestions. Another thought - perhaps you...

  3. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    I don't know what part of NoCal you are talking about. I live and work in NoCal and made $125k per year as a new grad in a very low cost of living area (I rent a nice little house for $800 per...

  4. FNP...a bad career choice?

    FullGlass replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You need to research this yourself. Go to the websites of the schools you are interested in, or call their Admissions

  5. FNP...a bad career choice?

    FullGlass replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Here in the Western U.S., there is high demand for FNPs. In California, there is more competition for jobs in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego, so it is harder to get a job in those...

  6. FNP...a bad career choice?

    FullGlass replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNP demand varies greatly by location. There is plenty of demand for FNPs in certain parts of the country. And FNP can also work in specialty practices like cardiology, etc. Please don't do a PMHNP...

  7. California RN Program Pre-Req

    FullGlass replied to bchoi39's topic in General Students

    You need to check with the school(s) you are applying to. Most nursing schools require prereqs be completed within 5 years of applying. If you did poorly in any prereq, I would advise retaking it....

  8. How do you deal with patients who don't want to be seen by an NP?

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

    One year of NP primary care practice and this only happened once. I introduced myself to the patient, an older woman, from a country/culture that looks down on nurses. She replied in a very...

    FullGlass replied to StephaAnn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  10. Work-life balance?

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

    NPs can also work as 'travelers' or locums and can make a lot of money doing so. For individuals who want to take long trips and vacations, this can be a good option. It is up to an NP to find a job...

  11. Duke NP graduates.... worth it?

    FullGlass replied to StephaAnn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Also, with regard to bullying. I found that the MSN professors did not engage in any bullying and the students were treated much better than in the BSN

  12. Duke NP graduates.... worth it?

    FullGlass replied to StephaAnn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The school you go to as an NP student does matter. There is no "cheap" NP school. Duke is an excellent, reputable school with a strong alumni network. That will give you a big advantage when...

  13. Disinterested lab partner

    FullGlass replied to aish's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I want to elaborate on my previous short post. You need to talk to the instructor because even if she won't change your partner, she needs to be aware that this is impacting your ability to...

  16. MAT program

    FullGlass replied to glogirl's topic in Advanced Practice

    An AG Primary Care NP or FNP can indeed perform MAT. A PMHNP is not required. This does require obtaining an x-waiver, which generally requires 24 hours of online training. I am a member of the MAT...

  17. Will you get your DNP

    FullGlass replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Advanced Practice

    I plan to get the DNP in a few years b/c I want to teach and I also am interested in working for the VA. The VA does pay more for a doctoral degree. If I can get hired by the VA, they will pay for...

    You don't need hospital RN experience to be a primary care NP, and that includes outpatient specialties like

  19. Would you take this job as a new gad?

    FullGlass replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP residencies pay less because you are getting training, just as MD residents make less money. If you think you would benefit from the additional training, then take the

  20. I have made a complaint against an NP

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

    The FNP should not d/c psych meds unless she consults with the psych provider first. You are within your rights to complain to management. It is especially important to maintain a professional...

    FullGlass replied to CardiacDork's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The reputable schools provide preceptors. I went to Hopkins and they took care of all that. All the Univ of California and California State Colleges and Universities do so as well. If a school does...

  23. Work-life balance?

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

    I work in a primary care clinic M-F 8 am to 5 pm. We also offer 4 10-hour days as an option to providers. No on-call. In the past year, I have become more efficient with charting and usually leave...

  24. FNP, AGACNP, and MHNP

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

    Please don't choose PMHNP just for the money. Choose what you are most interested in. Psych is not easy and many people can't handle it. Yes, we have a shortage of mental health professionals, but...

  25. I have made a complaint against an NP

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

    Her attire is unprofessional and inappropriate for this setting and you are within your rights to complain to the proper channels. I'm confused - why is an FNP d/c antipsychotics? Is she working in...
