  1. Case manager to NP school?

    FullGlass replied to Mcnurse567's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    2 years experience is plenty. And the Case Manager role provides a different kind of experience, which is good. Contrary to what some folks on this forum say, you do NOT need bedside RN...

  2. Bombshell Article by Bloomberg Businessweek

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

    They bear a lot of responsibility. The problem is they are accrediting for-profit schools, which are now graduating more NPs than reputable schools. These schools will accept anyone with a pulse,...

  3. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    I am happy as a PMHNP. If that is the only certification a provider has, there are numerous programs that offer a post-graduation certification in other specialties, such as FNP. However, have to...

  4. RN pay more than new grad NP pay

    FullGlass replied to MrsClarex4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are not even an NP, yet you are arguing with me, an NP? The OP is making a generally accepted salary for a new grad NP. Some employers will pay more, some a little less. Let me say this again:...

  5. Public safety personnel focused psych practice?

    FullGlass replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    Specializing in treating public safety personnel is a much-needed service. Most providers have more than one specialty. The concerns being expressed are that as a PMHNP, it is important to grow your...

  6. RN pay more than new grad NP pay

    FullGlass replied to MrsClarex4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This isn't about right or wrong. It's about what the market will pay a new grad NP. And a new grad NP has ZERO provider

  7. Going blank

    FullGlass replied to Nowbee's topic in General Students

    Take heart, you are not alone! Most nursing students feel like this at least some of the time. Since you are in an accelerated program, it is understandable you feel this way. Simulations can be...

  8. Therapeutic Specialist, Clinical Liason positions, etc

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello all, I've been contacted by a couple of pharmaceuticial/biotech companies for positions such as Therapeutic Specialist or Clinical Liason, specifically recruiting nurse practitioners....

  9. BSN to PMHNP for better financial stability?

    FullGlass replied to dln0616's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The PMHNP field is oversaturated now. Crappy for-profit schools are churning out subpar PMHNPs. There are fewer PMHNP jobs than FNP jobs, so it is not that easy to get a PMHNP job. Whether you...

  10. BSN to PMHNP for better financial stability?

    FullGlass replied to dln0616's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not saying they will start at 200K per year. NPs don't either. But they can get up to that with a few years experience. I am in charge of recruiting for my employer and I see RNs who are making...

  11. Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Post-Master's PMHNP Certificate Fall 2023

    FullGlass replied to FNPRCPR's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    JHUSON PMHNP alum here. My employer is on the JHU list of placement sites in CA. We allow students to be 100% remote, hybrid, or in person (based on location). I was hired when I only had my AGPCNP...

  12. BSN Program Dismissal

    FullGlass replied to gdoland4's topic in General Students

    I don't understand. Is your school not giving you an opportunity to repeat the courses? Ask about this. At my school, they really wanted everyone to graduate. It looks bad when students don't...

  13. BSN to PMHNP for better financial stability?

    FullGlass replied to dln0616's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Only you can decide if it is worth it to become an NP. Your child's age is not a factor. If you plan to move to CA and work as an RN here, just be aware that CA RNs are paid the highest in the...

  14. Is it still worth it becoming an APRN in 2024?

    FullGlass replied to guestnurse1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No one pays full price for an NP education! (Unless they come from a wealthy family). So let's take a look at 2 things: 1. Should you become an NP? Only if you truly want to be a provider....

  15. FNP working casual as RN?

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

    Yes, some NPs work PT as RNs. If that works well for you, go for it. You could also consider doing Veterans disability exams, also known as compensation and disability exams. These are physical...

  17. Nurses opinion re: career

    FullGlass replied to Nursingdreams77's topic in General Nursing

    I provided my opinion. One does not have to have done something to provide an opinion. For example, since this is an election year, we are watching political pundits who have never held elected...

  19. Nurses opinion re: career

    FullGlass replied to Nursingdreams77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in CA and we have strict ratios. I also did a clinical rotation in a nursing home in MD. My mother suffered from a long terminal decine and spent a lot of time in nursing homes and I did too, as...

  20. First semester of RN program fundamentals/foundations diseases

    FullGlass replied to Izzy12's topic in General Students

    I believe we took pathophysiology the first semester of school in my program. I wouldn't agonize over this too much. If you are that concerned, then scan through a copy of an intro pathophysiology...

  21. Nurses opinion re: career

    FullGlass replied to Nursingdreams77's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to be come an NP, since you said you want to treat. Like you, I was in the corporate world for the first half of my life. I started an Accelerated BSN at age 53, went straight on to NP...

  22. First semester of RN program fundamentals/foundations diseases

    FullGlass replied to Izzy12's topic in General Students

    Yes, very much. 1. It made understanding anatomy and pathophysiology much, much easier. I could figure out the meaning of disease terms usually, w/o having to look them up. That also made them...

  23. First semester of RN program fundamentals/foundations diseases

    FullGlass replied to Izzy12's topic in General Students

    I strongly urge you to learn some medical terminology. This will really help in nursing school. There are a number of online courses and also some nice self-study workbooks on Amazon. I took a...

  24. Advice requested regarding mental health rotation

    FullGlass replied to CardiacNursing's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry you went through this! Your reaction is perfectly understandable. Unforunately, it is all too common for nurses and other front line personnel to be attacked by patients. As a...

  25. Public safety personnel focused psych practice?

    FullGlass replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Advanced Practice

    There is a need for mental health professionals that can help first responders. One of my patients, a first responder, struggled with PTSD. He went to a retreat/inpatient program only for first...
