  1. New Grad NP salary Texas

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

    I think we are basically in agreement. However, it is NOT easy to get into the best NP programs. Those programs do not accept 100% of applicants. There is competition. Perhaps you are stellar, but...

  2. Pre Nursing looking for ABSN program - low gpa

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

    Why do you want an ABSN? Sorry, but your GPA does not predict academic success in an ABSN program. I did a 16 month ABSN and it was extremely difficult. No decent ABSN program will accept a student...

  3. Do W's on your transcript affect you getting into nursing school?

    FullGlass replied to Stella36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be fine. It's OK to have some W's on your transcript. You finished strong, which is excellent. I also had W's and got into Hopkins. Good

  4. New Grad NP salary Texas

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

    People who say it is easy to get into a good NP program are only applying to crappy programs. It is highly competitive and difficult to get into the best NP programs like U Penn, Hopkins, Yale, etc....

  5. To do an NP residency or not?

    FullGlass replied to johnnyRN9851's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you can get into a residency program, by all means go for it. However, the application process for these programs is competitive because there are so few of them. In addition, you won't make much...

  6. Questioning my decision...

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

    I advise you to complete CNA (tech) training. This will teach you valuable skills and if you really want to be involved in patient care as an RN. In addition, being CNA would be a good...

  7. Nobody gets my credentials right

    FullGlass replied to haitwun's topic in Advanced Practice

    Interestingly, female doctors seem to complain a lot about being called "nurse," judging from sites like KevinMD. Since becoming an NP, I've only been called nurse

  8. Psych DNP Programs- Does Prestige Matter?

    FullGlass replied to outsidegirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Prestige does matter for advanced practice nursing. Who hires most NPs? MDs and doctors will certainly take notice of one's school, just like medical schools matter to doctors. I agree that prestige...

  9. Psych DNP Programs- Does Prestige Matter?

    FullGlass replied to outsidegirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations on getting into 2 good schools! Columbia is obviously more prestigious. However UT Austin is certainly a reputable school. Look at the whole package. What kind of financial aid...

  10. Got in, and failed ??

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

    You might want to consider a more gradual path to RN. I know many Nurse Practitioners that started out as Medical Assistants or CNAs, then became LVNs, then RN, and so on. Good

  11. anybody living in California?

    FullGlass replied to sp2015nurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    California has many excellent schools. Any University of California (UC) like UCLA, UCSF, etc. Any California State College or Univ like SDSU, Cal State LA, etc. There are also many good private...

  12. Psych DNP Programs- Does Prestige Matter?

    FullGlass replied to outsidegirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, it does matter. There is a shortage of mental health providers in California IN CERTAIN AREAS, not everywhere. If you plan on working in an area where the job market is competitive, like San...

  13. Deciding between FNP or WHNP but also want CNM

    FullGlass replied to Rawrr88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Alaska has a severe shortage of providers, so the state has some good scholarship and loan repayment options - look into those and apply. There are also Federal programs - HRSA and also Nurse Corps....

  14. Deciding between FNP or WHNP but also want CNM

    FullGlass replied to Rawrr88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Frontier Nursing in Kentucky is an excellent school that offers online options for Master's level programs like FNP, WHNP,

  15. do you think your school prepared you or

    FullGlass replied to direw0lf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm in primary care and did not work as an RN. I work in a busy rural clinic. Of course, I was very stressed out and felt woefully ignorant my first 6 months , then I gradually gained confidence,...

  16. Can't get ACNP job

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

    It is hard to get the first job. Have you tried contacting U Penn to see if they can put you in touch with alumni? Most schools have an alumni network and have job services for alumni and new grads....

  17. Grades when you were in Nursing School

    FullGlass replied to poliwag48's topic in General Students

    I have yet to see a reputable NP program that will accept an undergrad nursing GPA less 3.0 unless the candidate is exceptional in other ways. Just check the admissions requirements for any reputable...

  18. Grades when you were in Nursing School

    FullGlass replied to poliwag48's topic in General Students

    Respectfully, your post is not in line with current conditions. With regard to a new grad RN, I went to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD. I did apply for RN jobs in the Baltimore area and they all...

  19. I dont think I have the personality for nursing, and may need to switch majors...

    FullGlass replied to WorldEscapes's topic in General Students

    Honestly, you are a typical 2nd semester nursing student. I felt everything you described. Assessment just takes a lot of practice. Don't be so hard on yourself! Good

  20. Leaving Nursing Program

    FullGlass replied to Wiggly Litchi's topic in General Students

    I did not mean to be overly harsh but to give you a dose of reality. A fiancee or boyfriend has no legal obligation to support you. Perhaps he was a jerk, but it was also very naive of you to quit...

  21. Grades when you were in Nursing School

    FullGlass replied to poliwag48's topic in General Students

    I must disagree with regard to employers and grades. I went to nursing school in Maryland, and RN employers there at the better hospitals did ask for grades for new grads. In addition, if a new grad...

  22. Grades when you were in Nursing School

    FullGlass replied to poliwag48's topic in General Students

    Your grades do matter. Sorry, not to stress you out more, but as others suggested, talk to your academic advisor. 1. When you apply for your first RN job, employers will request your transcript....

  23. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    FullGlass replied to carti's topic in General Students

    In addition to the other many thoughtful posts on this thread, please consider that in some cultures and religions the opposite sex is not supposed to make physical contact with individuals outside of...

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

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

    Well, I stand corrected.
