  1. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Interesting comment. You readily accept projections of too many NPs, yet reject the salary numbers from Google search. I have previously provided, in another thread, a very detailed analysis of...

  2. FNP Oversaturation

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

    I did a very detailed analysis of this in a previous thread, so I'm not going to repeat it here. I see NO saturation of too many NPs, PAs, or primary care docs. It is very hard to project beyond 5...

  3. FNP Oversaturation

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

    I've discussed this on another thread. There are flaws in the 2013 projections. California, according to their own projections, will have a PCP shortage at least until 2030. My clinic is actively...

  4. Evaluation and Treatment of Mental Illness in Primary Care

    FullGlass replied to MJC2118's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm fortunate. I work in an FQHC that has on-site talk therapists and a psychiatrist who does once-weekly onsite visits and telemedicine. The PCPs do manage uncomplicated depression and anxiety, but...

  5. New Grad NP - Job Offer I Accepted

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The purpose of this post is to give new grad NPs an idea of the job market in the Western US. I'm a new grad Adult and Geri Primary Care NP w/o RN experience. I completed an ABSN and then went...

  7. Help save my career

    FullGlass replied to ccw123's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm very sorry you went through this. Please don't lose hope. I am also a primacy care NP w/o RN experience. I recently started my first NP job and am very happy and it appears the clinic is happy...

  8. New Grad NP - Job Offer I Accepted

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

    Certainly - you can PM me. I don't check Allnurses every day, so it may take me a couple of days to get back to you.

  9. Should I pursue an NP degree? I need advice

    FullGlass replied to vmm1995's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you love nursing, then do that for awhile and learn more about healthcare and the different roles and advancement paths for RNs. RNs have many different paths that offer career growth - CNS, RN...

  10. FNP Oversaturation

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

    I have mixed feelings about NPs demanding pay parity with MDs or large increases in their pay. In favor of your position, I appreciate paying NPs based on the value they deliver. Oregon has moved...

  11. New grad RNs and NPs: has any employer asked to see your transcript...

    FullGlass replied to sarahamelia's topic in Nursing Career

    New NP here. Every potential employer required my transcript prior to making an offer. One reason is to confirm I actually went to NP school and finished it. They don't care if you have a 4.0, but...

  12. FNP Oversaturation

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

    I do not understand your comment. I have never complained about being an NP, my job, or my

  13. FNP Oversaturation

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

    I am wondering if there are some unrealistic expectations regarding NP salary. I decided to become an NP in 2010. At that time I was living in Southern California, in Los Angeles. About the highest...

    I don't understand your question. An FNP is fully qualified to care for

  15. Salary expectations for Bay Area (San Jose/ Cupertino)

    FullGlass replied to hic12345's topic in Advanced Practice

    This sounds like good compensation for the area. However, be sure to research the cost of living, which is very high, to determine if you still want this job. Good

  16. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Yes, I did have interviews in multiple states. I wrote an article on my job search as a new grad primary care NP - you should be able to search on that here. I used LinkedIn, responded to job postings...

  17. Post masters certificate

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

    Check with the individual school. Some schools only require you to take the theory and do the rotations for peds and women's health. You already have everything else as an

  18. FQHC salaries? I GOT QUESTIONS!

    FullGlass replied to xxdiscoxxheaven's topic in Advanced Practice

    I work in an FQHC in a rural area. The pay is actually more than I would make in a big city, and the cost of living is way less. I'm an AGPCNP. If you are willing to work in a more rural area or in...

  19. FNP practice

    FullGlass replied to Nelliy1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most experienced RNs who become NPs take an initial pay cut for their first NP job. In addition, certain RN jobs can pay extremely well, more than some NP jobs. I wouldn't become an NP just to make...

  20. NURSE Corps Scholarship for AGACNP

    FullGlass replied to arockenhaus1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I won a Nurse Corps Scholarship for AGNP primary care. I believe these are for primary care. I don't know about NHSC. You can check with your school, as they can tell you more about these programs....

  21. FNP Oversaturation

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

    A new grad FNP will likely make less than an experienced RN. I would not advise any RN to become and NP solely to make more money, because that may or may not

  22. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Your story is surprising and interesting, but it is a sample size of 1. However, you are working in a speciality area, not as a general primary care FNP. The NP job market in coastal SoCal is...

  23. FNP Oversaturation

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

    Supply and demand of NPs varies by location. I am really tired of all the gloom and doom here. I am practicing in rural California and we have a real need for MDs, DOs, NPs, and PAs. There are far...

  24. FNP Oversaturation

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

    I'm a new grad NP and will make $125K my first year, with good benefits and a reasonable patient load. This is in a very low cost of living area in California where I am renting an actual little...

  25. Sacramento Nurse Practitioner working conditions

    FullGlass replied to phosphorus's topic in Advanced Practice

    It is very hard to find an NP job in a larger city in a clinic with a high HPSA score unless you work in an inner city area. An option is to look a little ways outside of Sacramento. There are...
