  1. Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

    FullGlass replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest you start a separate thread. If you have back tax liens you need to get those cleared up. I suggest you find an Enrolled Agent (EA) to help you with this. These are CPAs that have completed...

  2. Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

    FullGlass replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Klone, I've been thinking about your troubles. Prior to becoming an NP, I was a business executive and also had to do a lot of recruiting. Since you are in a coastal Oregon city, that is a huge draw....

  3. ADVICE

    FullGlass replied to Kristiemscott's topic in Nursing Career

    Apply for both the CA and Montana license. California takes a long time to issue an RN license compared to other states, so keep your Calif license active in case you move back. Best

  4. I hate group assignments

    FullGlass replied to JBMmom's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, group projects are a pain. However, once you are working as an NP, you may have to do some group work. At any rate, I went through some similar troubles. Usually, if I sent out an email and...

  5. Jobless FNP

    FullGlass replied to Nicola301975's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have written extensively on this forum about new grad NP job search in the Western US. You may want to read my article and posts. There are hundreds of NP jobs going begging in the Western US....

    FullGlass replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are posting on the wrong thread. Have you considered the

  7. I have a Low GPA Bachelor's Degree (2.26), and an Associates of Science(GPA 3.13) Options?

    FullGlass replied to Nursingiq's topic in General Students

    I also had a low GPA in my initial undergrad education. When I decided to pursue an ABSN, I retook some classes - the ones I got a D, F, or I in. That helped raise the GPA. I also took some...

  8. Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

    FullGlass replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Being in a coastal community should be a big draw. However, if there is a lack of housing, that is a serious issue. Perhaps the hospital should make arrangements to build housing, like an apartment...

  9. Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

    FullGlass replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you are having such difficulties. Have you tried going to career fairs at other nursing schools farther away? I'm an NP and a Nurse Corps Scholar, so I had to take a job in a Health...

  10. Clarification on NP Curriculum?

    FullGlass replied to DO_question's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    First, I am going to summarize what I would say to someone who asked me about the NP vs PA curriculum, given that their goal is to work in an ED and care for all ages. A. The FNP is a primary care...

  11. Clarification on NP Curriculum?

    FullGlass replied to DO_question's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It appears you misinterpreted my answers. The OP wanted information for a prospective NP student, not a practicing NP. He indicated this person was interested in working in the ED. My goal was to...

  12. Planning move to California

    FullGlass replied to jnurse121's topic in California Nursing

    I live in California. Not all of California is expensive. Generally, the closer to the ocean, the more expensive. San Francisco Bay Area is the most expensive, closely followed by LA. San Diego...

  13. Clarification on NP Curriculum?

    FullGlass replied to DO_question's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Resorting to a snarky comment makes you look weak. I guess you know better than the faculties of Johns Hopkins, UCSF, and U Penn. If it is ok for an FNP w/o acute education or clinical rotations to...

  14. Will this affect my future career as an RN?

    FullGlass replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Students

    I don't see why this would be an issue. A lot of my classmates did not work their last two semesters of nursing school because they had to focus on school. You don't have to say that you worked at a...

  15. Clarification on NP Curriculum?

    FullGlass replied to DO_question's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Actually, this is in line with what I said. While in the past, FNPs may have had acute care training, that is not generally the case now. Current FNP students only receive primary care didactic...

  16. Clarification on NP Curriculum?

    FullGlass replied to DO_question's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If she wants to work in the ED, that is acute care. She must then choose either Adult/Geri Acute Care NP or Peds Acute Care NP. The current FNP curriculums do not include acute care didactic...

  17. Nursing school vs price? Which is more important?

    FullGlass replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should apply to a few schools, both public and private. If accepted, you will get a financial aid package, so a private school could be the same cost as a public school. As for whether a...

  18. Clarification on NP Curriculum?

    FullGlass replied to DO_question's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    To clarify: FNP is now a primary care role. FNPs are not supposed to work in acute care and they do not receive any acute care education or training. NPs who are interested in acute care must...

  19. Clarification on NP Curriculum?

    FullGlass replied to DO_question's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    NP student preceptors can be NPs, MDs, or DOs. I'm not sure about

  20. nickel-and-diming a nurse's wage

    FullGlass replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't know how the Canadian system works. Here in the US, things can be a bit confusing. On one hand, lots of complaints that RNs don't make much money. On the other hand, many posts that...

  21. Will becoming a Nurse practitioner be enough for me?

    FullGlass replied to Marcuscollins's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The OP does not discuss your GPA. If you want to get into med school, you will have to work like a dog in college to have a 4.0 or as close as possible. A lot of people don't get into med school....

  22. Going back to school

    FullGlass replied to angielocks's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You earned a BSN, so you are eligible to apply to an MSN program. Make sure your RN license is active, as that is a requirement. As for recommendations, is there anyone else you worked with that...

  23. Any thoughts on my idea.

    FullGlass replied to tmg4me's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Have you considered being a Patient Advocate? That would utilize your healthcare knowledge, but would not involve patient

  24. NP being used as an RN

    FullGlass replied to Adam18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A suggestion - please review your contract carefully. If the doctor has not fulfilled the terms of the contract, you do not owe relocation reimbursement. I doubt if he would have the time and energy...

  25. General pay/scheduling questions re: NP

    FullGlass replied to Allis A. Clamp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That figure was for an experienced NP working locum tenens in California in primary care. To do a quick hourly rate calculation, [hourly rate] x 2,000 billable hours = estimated annual income. The...
