  1. Did I violate HIPAA?

    FullGlass replied to IreneTouTheou's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You are fine. You did not confirm or deny the person was from their community; they told you the person was in their community and you just repeated that in a question. The key for HIPAA is the...

  2. Is it worth becoming an NP at 45 years of age?

    FullGlass replied to Sage1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Depends on the

    Thank you for the

  4. Nursing school two DUI's

    FullGlass replied to TEd123's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think the OP edited the original post. It now says she was convicted on

  5. Can an OR nurse become a nurse practitioner?

    FullGlass replied to orrn2124's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Of course you can become an NP. You have RN experience, so you are eligible for both acute and non-acute NP programs. Contrary to the many naysayers here, I went straight through from an ABSN...

  6. Medical Terminology is too overwhelming?

    FullGlass replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    Nurses MUST understand medical terminology. It is critical to understand the basics, such as: hyper hypo cardio endo exo derm and so on. I took medical...

  7. HS performance

    FullGlass replied to Camron Carter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't see how you are going to do better in Algebra 2 if you got a D in Algebra 1. Retake Algebra 1 and get a better grade. For your other math class, pick something easy. You will need to...

  8. Pre-Employment Screening

    FullGlass replied to CntFloridaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good point. It is important to know the individual employer's policy on this. I'm in CA, and most places don't care if the person tests positive for weed, as long as they don't show up to work...

  9. Pre-Employment Screening

    FullGlass replied to CntFloridaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There is an important lesson here: NEVER take the word of "friends" that smoking weed is OK! Especially "friends" that don't live in your state. A true friend would not want you to do anything that...

  10. Direct Entry Nursing Program

    FullGlass replied to Prospective_Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry about the "list price." Apply to the programs you are interested in and see what kind of financial aid you can get. There is a boatload of financial aid available for RN and NP...

  11. Why are there no jobs for experienced nurses anymore?

    FullGlass replied to pandabearlover's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry you are going through this. Consider Calif. Many nurses are moving to CA and there is a lot of recruiting here. Nurses have a union and there is a safe staffing ratio law, so CA nurses...

  12. Nursing school two DUI's

    FullGlass replied to TEd123's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    1. Please check with your state board of nursing on getting a license after conviction - there may be some issues 2. Please get help for your drinking problem. This does not bode well for your...

  13. Did I ruin my chances?

    FullGlass replied to Jenny7's topic in Nursing Career

    Congratulations! A couple of my nursing school peers took jobs in the OR and loved it. Best wishes to

  14. Switching from Engineering to Nursing? Worth it?

    FullGlass replied to lea123456987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You raise a good point. High tech was so volatile - constant layoffs, no matter how well a company was doing. As an NP, I don't have to deal with that. Given the high demand for healthcare, it is...

  15. Medscape PA Compensation Report 2024

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As NP and PA earnings are roughly the same, the following PA comp report is interesting. Breakdowns are provided by location, years experience, and specialty....

  16. Switching from Engineering to Nursing? Worth it?

    FullGlass replied to lea123456987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a high tech management consulting executive (Accenture, PWC, Oracle, etc) before becoming an NP. Started nursing school at age 53. Best career decision ever made. However, only you know...

  17. RN pay more than new grad NP pay

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

    If you get 1-2 years NP experience, your earnings can go up substantially. My first NP job (2018), I made $115K per year w/$10K sign on bonus. After 18 months, got a job offer from a pain management...

  18. Student Health Center NP?

    FullGlass replied to daisychains11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was offered a job as an NP for a community college. The pay was not great, but it seemed like it would be a low stress job. The benefits were great - as a CA state employee. Lots of time off,...

  19. RN pay more than new grad NP pay

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

    I'm surprised you did not research NP pay before making the decision to become one. If you only become an NP to make more money, then you should not be an NP. You are a new NP w/o NP experience,...

  20. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    FullGlass replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Unfortunately, most PMHNP programs now emphasize psychopharmacology. While they cover talk therapy, there is very little in the way of supervised talk therapy training in these programs. At...

  21. Is being an NP worth it?

    FullGlass replied to daisychains11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Only become an NP if that is the kind of work you really want to do. If you are an experienced RN, you will probably make less on your first NP job than you did as an RN. NP pay varies widely...

  22. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    FullGlass replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So you believe your hours of "researching" are the equivalent of an LMFT or psychologist with a master's or doctoral degree + 5,000 hours of supervised

  23. New NP Grad Quitting after 1 month

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

    You are giving blanket advice based on your personal experience and how your organization provides references. This is not applicable to every circumstance. And what are "facts?" Here is a...

  24. New NP Grad Quitting after 1 month

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

    I do not understand why you are so determined to get the message out that it is OK to give a bad reference. It is not and carries liability risk. It also creates bad karma. I've been an executive...

  25. New NP Grad Quitting after 1 month

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

    Let me rephrase this. While it may not be outright illegal to give someone a bad reference, it is actionable. This is why many organizations no longer give references and only verify dates of...
