  1. Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

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

    Bleach enemas???!!! Next, people will start eating Tide pods because they think it is

  2. Midwest Market

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

    Start tracking job listings in your desired area. All of my classmates had job offers from at least one clinical rotation before graduating. I used these job sites to get an idea of what's out...

  3. New Grad NP need your advice on employment

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

    I don't know your friends, but all my attorney friends are making huge bucks. I just explained legal pay and provided a 2017 pay link for 1st year lawyers in another response to this thread. Just...

  4. New Grad NP need your advice on employment

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

    Respectfully, you don't know much about the legal profession. The graduates of the top schools like Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, Stanford, etc. look to get jobs with, and are heavily recruited by, the...

  5. Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

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

    Excellent points - I'm going to put together my own handout with pictures to drive home the risks of uncontrolled diabetes. Definitely will probe more on hypoglycemic episodes. The area where I live...

    Thank you everyone for your very helpful suggestions and comments. I really appreciate

  7. New Grad NP need your advice on employment

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

    What evidence do you have to support your position? We have a largely free-market capitalist economy and competition is its driving force. When labor markets are distorted, as the AMA did by...

  8. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    FullGlass replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Kudos to you for advancing your career and being selective in your schooling. No one is being forced to go to a subpar school. However, the individuals that go to those schools still have to pass...

  9. Quit my job

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

    How are you going to get a reference for your next job? Your behavior appears impulsive and rash. If you were that concerned, you could have provided this employer with a reasonable notice and...

  10. New Grad NP need your advice on employment

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

    Right now you need a job. Take the primary care clinic and get some experience. Once you have 1 or 2 years of experience, you will be in a much better negotiating position and will have more...

  11. How Long To Get A Consult?

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

    I practice in a rural clinic and this is my biggest frustration. All specialists are in a town 50 miles away and the wait for nonurgent (and sometimes urgent) cases is 4 weeks or longer. On top of...

  12. Updates from the LTC world

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

    Interesting post. I have mixed feelings about medical marijuana, but why not give it a try? It can be helpful for chronic pain. Please keep us posted on your experiences with medical marijuana in...

  13. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    FullGlass replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm sorry for your frustration. However, there are plenty of high quality NP programs that do provide preceptors. There is nothing stopping you, or anyone else, from applying to those programs....

  14. NP contract? salary with no holiday pay?

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

    This sounds very fishy and I'm not sure it is even legal. As 203Bravo suggested, consult an attorney. An initial consultation with an employment attorney is usually free. You can also go to the...

  15. New grad residency, is this a good opportunity?

    FullGlass replied to aok7's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    An NP residency pays less than a regular NP job, just as MD residency pay is less. If the pay is competitive after residency is completed, that is fine. A friend of mine is in NP residency in the SF...

    Thank you for your kind words and best wishes for your future job

    Thank you for your kind

  18. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    FullGlass replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not necessarily true. Some states have done their own projections, like California, and they will have an NP shortage at least until 2030. In addition, there is acute distribution problem. Most of...

  19. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Here is a recent survey indicating that NP salary is increasing, but that pay varies widely by region. Bad

  20. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Personally, what I observe is that NP full practice authority is gaining traction, which is a good thing. As I have stated numerous time, having carefully watched the NP job market and compensation in...

  21. FNP Oversaturation

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

    So you have an objection to individual state level estimates conducted by the state that indicate some states have a shortage of NPs that will persist to at least

  22. FNP Oversaturation

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

    In any profession, there is a disadvantage to being in the top 1% of salaried employees in that field, which is that it makes it harder to find a new job that will pay the same or more. That has...

  23. FNP Oversaturation

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

    No necessarily true. The Bay Area of NoCal is extremely expensive. However, the rest of NoCal is not. Northeast California from Sacramento north and east has a very reasonable cost of living. I'm in a...

  24. Excellent Employment Prospects for Nurse Practitioners

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    According to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of January 18, 2018, the employment outlook for Nurse Practitioners is excellent. Expected job growth from 2016 to 2026 is...

  25. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Based on your previous posts, you are in the top 1% of psych NPs, so your experience is not representative. And based on your previous posts, you like your job and they like you. So why does it matter...
