  1. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    I had over 20 years experience in business and ended up at the VP level in management consulting, a highly competitive field. Never did I hear complaints about the supply of new grads depressing pay....

  2. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    Have you read your posts? You come across as very negative and bitter. One of the first lessons I learned in my business career is never look down on your clients - it will come through in...

  3. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    I agree with you that $120K is low for an experienced NP. However, I also believe many NPs on this forum have very unrealistic expectations of what an NP should make. In other businesses in which...

  4. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    First, of course you make more money - you are locums! Locus make more money than permanent employees. Evidently, you have no trouble finding work for a good rate. Personally, I find it offensive...

  5. FNP Oversaturation

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

    NoCal is a big area. If you mean San Francisco, then there are lots of applicants in that job market. If you are willing to look at ALL of NoCal, there are plenty of good job

  6. What was your training like as a new grad NP?

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

    It will be ok! When looking for your first NP job, be careful to choose a position that provides good support to a new grad NP with realistic expectations. This is something you must discuss during...

  7. FNP Job Outlook

    FullGlass replied to Melane's topic in Advanced Practice

    The West Coast generally offers higher compensation and most Western states have full practice authority for NPs. Most areas outside of the big coastal cities have a PCP shortage and also are very...

  8. Difficulty Level: ABSN vs NP school

    FullGlass replied to PhillyNurse11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did an ABSN program then did an MSN NP program. Personally, I thought the ABSN was harder. I think it will be very hard to do an MSN while working full time because the MSN requires a lot of time...

  9. "He just wanted to know..."

    FullGlass replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You just seem very unhappy. I work in primary care, not a hospital. Perhaps you can find a different job in your area where you will be more

  10. Thoughts on doctors and management styles

    FullGlass replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Advanced Practice

    This doctor's management style is called "laissez faire," which means he doesn't do much in the way of management. If you need clinical guidance or someone to discuss clinical issues with, then tell...

  11. "He just wanted to know..."

    FullGlass replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with most of what you said. As to how people found out what school the OP's child goes to, the OP seems to indicate this is a small town/rural area. Therefore, a lot of people would know...

  12. NP Salaries

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

  13. "He just wanted to know..."

    FullGlass replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Let me clarify: I meant they did not have problems working as a provider in this "red" rural area. I made no claim that they have never ever experienced prejudice in their entire lives. Our clinic...

  14. "He just wanted to know..."

    FullGlass replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am sorry you are upset. I'm wondering if there are some cultural differences impacting your interactions? Perhaps in your original culture people are more private than in the US? In small towns...

  15. "He just wanted to know..."

    FullGlass replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I stand by my comments. However, there are jerks everywhere one goes, unfortunately. 90-90% of patients are nice and appreciative, but there will be some annoying and obnoxious patients in every...

  16. "He just wanted to know..."

    FullGlass replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am sorry you are upset. However, I do think you are being a bit paranoid. I am an NP working in a very rural area in "Trump Country." People here are curious and just want to know more about me,...

  17. NP Jobs still looking pretty good.

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

    Back in 2009, primary care NPs could make up to $150,000 per year at Kaiser. That is good money. The VA has increased NP pay and is working to be competitive with the private sector - I have talked...

  18. NP Jobs still looking pretty good.

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

    Redding is very nice, although the summers are super hot. By California standards, it is quite affordable. You can buy a decent house for $150K to $250K. You can rent a nice 2 BR 2BA duplex or...

  19. NP Jobs still looking pretty good.

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

    I beg to disagree. There are tons of jobs in INLAND NoCal in Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, Fresno, Redding, Chico and many rural communities. There is more competition for jobs in the Bay Area, but...

  20. NP Jobs still looking pretty good.

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

    There are plenty of good NP jobs, even for new grads, in certain areas of the country. Last year, while looking for my first NP job, Oroville Hospital was looking for TEN (10!) NPs in primary...

  21. Discrimination

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

    Doesn't Huntington also have reputation that you can only work there if you are

  22. Direct Entry NP Programs: Anti-Intellectualism/Bullying

    FullGlass replied to aswiz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    DE NP here - Adult/Geri Primary Care. I went to Hopkins and had 9 job offers for first job. About 90% of my class had job offers before graduation, from one or more clinical rotations. There is no...

  23. How is the job market for NP in San Diego

    FullGlass replied to rnlung89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agree with other posts about San Diego NP market and salary. It is a tight job market for RNs, NPs, and many other healthcare professions because so many people want to live there. Many jobs also...

  24. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    Thank you for your good wishes. I have consistently provided evidence. Supply and demand for NPs is regional. You are the one who provides no evidence. As for whether a location is "good" or...

  25. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    Thank you for your response. The way for an American in high tech to stay employed is to be at the top of their game and to always learn the latest and greatest. We used to say you had to be at the...
