  2. Any advantage that AGNP has over FNP?

    FullGlass replied to alexamasan's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    At my school, the AGNPs were trained in basic Women's Health rolled into our regular Adult and Geri curriculum. We did not have an Ob/Gyn clinical rotation. I got a lot of pelvic exam experience b/c...

  3. Interview Attire for NP Position

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

    It is ok and in fact generally expected to be a little dressier for an interview than one would be on the job. Wearing a formal suit is better than dressing too casually. If there is the possibility...

  4. Interview Attire for NP Position

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

    For a female - a formal suit is not necessary, but dress slacks, skirt, or a nice business-type dress with a matching or coordinating blazer or dressy sweater/cardigan. I call it "dressy business...

  5. MSN vs DNP Choice

    FullGlass replied to jaynakim34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations on being accepted by two great schools! You can't go wrong either way. If you want to go to UCSF, then by all means go. Earning a DNP will not provide increased pay unless you work...

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

    I am in Northeast California, east of Redding. There are lots of good NP jobs in California. Look anywhere except on the coast. Redding, Chico, Fresno. Anywhere in the Central Valley. There are...

  8. New Career in Management???? Advice?

    FullGlass replied to TNViking's topic in General Specialties

    I agree with much of what you say, but as a former business executive, must point out that managers develop new professional "friend" among their new peers. In addition, it is indeed possible to...

  9. Experience for PMHNP

    FullGlass replied to RN356's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    At least in California, the standard pay for a new grad PMHNP in an outpatient setting is about $150K per year. That can grow to $200K+ with a few years of experience. I'm talking about clinics...

  10. Experience for PMHNP

    FullGlass replied to RN356's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you for your encouragement and words of wisdom. To reassure you, I have a lot of personal experience with the mentally ill, as several of my family members suffer from mental illness. This has...

  11. Experience for PMHNP

    FullGlass replied to RN356's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The quality of psych RN experiences varies widely. There is a small acute in-patient locked ward facility in my home town that is terrible. The "psych" RNs literally spend their whole shift locked...

  12. Adult Acute care NP vs family NP

    FullGlass replied to Crrnbsn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is currently a strong movement to NOT hire FNPs in ERs. There is a new Consensus Model that has been discussed in-depth multiple times elsewhere on this forum. FNP programs DO NOT provide any...

  13. Giving up PA school acceptance to pursue ASN?

    FullGlass replied to ang314's topic in General Nursing

    As an NP, I can say there are plenty of opportunities for part time and per diem

  14. Giving up PA school acceptance to pursue ASN?

    FullGlass replied to ang314's topic in General Nursing

    No offense, but you do not come across as having the drive and passion to become a provider at this point in your life. You are all over the place. My advice is to defer PA school - they may let you...

  15. Why don't more NPs advocate for better training?

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

    Studies have shown that RN experience makes no difference for primary care NPs. Are you working in primary care or acute care? Reputable Acute Care NP programs DO require RN experience, as they...

  16. anybody living in California?

    FullGlass replied to sp2015nurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are many, many good schools in California. If you really want to be an FNP, then make an effort to do some research. Try googling "nurse practitioner programs California" or some such. The...

  17. Favorite NP Journal

    FullGlass replied to FNP_CCL's topic in Advanced Practice

    For primary care, American Family Physician - great article on how to diagnose and treat common primary care

  18. NP still working as a bedside nurse on the side...

    FullGlass replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    More and more states and organizations require ER NP to be Acute Care NP. If you want to do acute care so much, become an acute care NP. Such NPs work throughout the hospital, not just in ERs....

  19. Weird Interview!?

    FullGlass replied to Daisy4RN's topic in General Nursing

    Have loved reading the responses on this thread. OK, for my serious answer. Prior to becoming an NP, I was a business executive. I worked in a very formal, conservate, prestigious firm at one point...

  20. Pre Nursing looking for ABSN program - low gpa

    FullGlass replied to lifesaver808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I want you to be successful. As someone who did an ABSN, I know that it is an extremely stressful program for most students. Since it is so hard to get into a good CRNA program, my advice is to take...

  21. New Grad NP salary Texas

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

    Glad we agree! ? As for school cost, I'm from California. Surprisingly, the cost of UCLA, a public school FOR A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT is almost the same as Hopkins! Given that housing is outrageously...

  22. Adult-Geriatric Primary Care NP or...?

    FullGlass replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am an AGPCNP with one year experience. I got 9 job offers as a new grad. If you don't want to work with kids, then don't do the FNP. It really irks me, because we have FNPs in our clinic that...

  23. Need direction...

    FullGlass replied to Fl1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Contrary to what other posters have stated, yes, you can become an NP w/o RN experience. It depends on your NP specialty. Primary care NPs do not need to be RNs and most schools do not require RN...

  24. BSN transferring to LPN program?

    FullGlass replied to nursetobequestionmark's topic in General Students

    Please talk to your academic advisor. You may need to take some time off from school to deal with these issues. There is no shame in that. See if you can take one semester off up to one year and...

    FullGlass replied to lifesaver808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An Associates Degree takes 2 years and will allow you to sit for NCLEX for the RN. You then do a bridge program to the BSN, which can be done online. Most ABSN programs are 16 months, which is not...
