  1. New grad job dilemma

    FullGlass replied to Sunnyking12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As an FNP, you are NOT qualified for a hospitalist position! I don't care if the hospital wants to hire you, do NOT take this job. You are setting yourself up for a huge liability risk. You must...

  9. Is going on to be a NP my only option to make more money?

    FullGlass replied to ConfusedNurse202's topic in General Nursing

    PLEASE go to a reputable school, not a for-profit. In other words, please don't go to Walden, Chamberlain, or a similar school. They are ruining the NP profession. Good

    FullGlass replied to enfermeraaa's topic in General Students

    I'd be cautious about a 1 year ABSN. I did a 16 month ABSN and it was very grueling. There was a 13 mo ABSN option at my school and the students in that cohort looked incredibly exhausted. They...

  14. BSN to PMHNP for better financial stability?

    FullGlass replied to dln0616's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As someone who recruits NPs for a mental health practice, I see a big difference in the NPs who had primary care experience vs the NPs that only have a PMHNP. The FNPs or AGPCNPs have a big leg up...
