  1. Prescribing stimulants?

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

    More people are seeking help for ADHD because awareness of this issue has increased. It doesn't mean these people are drug-seekers. ADHD has been underdiagnosed in adults until recently:...

  2. Nurses opinion re: career

    FullGlass replied to Nursingdreams77's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, in some nursing homes RNs work very hard and it can be physically strenuous. However, there are nursing homes that employ RNs that do not have RNs do physically strenuous

  3. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    Kudos to you. Part of the reason the school matters is selectivity. It is very hard to get into a medical school, so we have some reasonable assurance that MDs are smart and hard-working. It is...

  4. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    Glad to be of help. You also raised an important point. Why do so many RNs and NPs have such a low opinion of themselves and their profession? Can you name any other profession (as opposed to a...

  5. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    Yes, I will not consider nurse practitioners from for-profit schools. Please note there is a big difference between and RN and an NP. You seem to be referring to your experience with RNs. NPs are...

  6. RN pay more than new grad NP pay

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

    I never said I was. I am providing information on the general market. There is a difference. But hey, believe what you want. You're not an NP, so I don't understand why you keep going on about...

  7. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    I agree with you. I think the reputable schools do a decent job, as they do not admit everybody. Those schools look at a variety of factors for admission to NP programs. Most don't require GRE...

  8. Bombshell Article by Bloomberg Businessweek

    The Spotty Training of America's Nurse Practitioners You can read this on Apple News if you have that. Unfortunately, you must be a subscriber to read the print article. Below is a link to a...

  9. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    According to the evidence, RN experience does not improve NP competency. I posted a mini evidence review on this. And I know plenty of PMHNPs who were psych RNs who are incompetent

  10. RN pay more than new grad NP pay

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

    It has been explained repeatedly what the pay is, in reality, right now, for new grad NPs. There is no shortage of NPs or people who want to be NPs. As has been explained repeatedly, a new grad NP...

  11. Bombshell Article by Bloomberg Businessweek

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

    I'm wondering if we can advocate at the state level. California stricter standards for RN and NP licensing. Maybe we can advocate that the schools must provide clinicals and they can't be...

  12. 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...

  13. 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,...

  14. 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...

  15. 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:...

  16. 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...

  17. 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

  18. 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...

  19. 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....

  20. 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...

  21. 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...

  22. 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...

  23. 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...

  24. 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...

  25. 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....
