  1. How to confront a disrespectful professor

    FullGlass replied to MamaNanii's topic in General Students

    There was nothing in the OP's post to indicate the instructor engaged in any insensitive or inappropriate behavior, or used any bad language. Guess what? We don't always get what we want. Get the...

  2. Confused

    FullGlass replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with other posters that your best bet is to complete an ADN to BSN bridge program. Get the best grades you can. When applying for your MSN, your grades are just one factor. Schools will...

  3. HELP: Future FNP

    FullGlass replied to NurseyNurse13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, if you are going to school full-time. I attended school full-time for my MSN NP program. Some of my classmates worked full-time for the first semester, when we only had didactic courses. Some...

  4. Career change - *no experience*

    FullGlass replied to davbria's topic in Nursing Career

    An ABSN is very intense and fast-paced. You might be able to work part-time, but there is no way you can work full-time. You won't be able to get into any program until you complete your prereqs -...

  5. Dislike RN role-- love NP role?

    FullGlass replied to NEMurse95's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are some primary care RN jobs out there. School nurses are primary care. I also met an RN with a really cool job while visiting Washington DC - she was an RN for Congress with her own little...

  6. Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

    FullGlass replied to Slhengy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Johns Hopkins arranges for preceptors. They also have some post-master's programs that are 100%

  7. Unsure of what route to take

    FullGlass replied to CinnamonLily's topic in General Students

    While I think $150K is excessive for a school like Western, in the Western US new grad NPs should be making at least $100K, so $150K debt is not excessive. RNs with a few years of experience should...

  8. Commute

    FullGlass replied to prw1217's topic in Nursing Career

    I live in California, so long commutes are common here. No one would bat an eye at 1 hour each way. I did a have gig where I had to work in San Francisco 4 days a week, when I lived in Los Angeles....

  9. Disheartened---can I be admitted to NP with lackluster GPA?

    FullGlass replied to mj_nurse99's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't despair! Many of us did dumb things when we were young. Call a couple of schools you are interested in and talk to an admissions officer. Look at both public and private (nonprofit) schools,...

  10. Direct Entry MSN Programs

    FullGlass replied to jessfern's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure where you are getting some of your information. An ABSN takes 13 months to 16 months. That's what I did. Then a regular MSN leading to an Advanced Practice role is 16 to 24 months,...

  11. How to confront a disrespectful professor

    FullGlass replied to MamaNanii's topic in General Students

    The instructor was not being disrespectful. She simply denied your extension request, which is her right. Just complete as much as you can, then turn the assignment in on time. Part of nursing...

  12. NP education

    FullGlass replied to Drewsky7x's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am very happy with my NP education. I don't think any new provider - NP, PA, MD, DO - feels really prepared. A good friend of mine just started his medical internship and was totally terrified....

  13. Visible tattoos appropriate for RN's?

    FullGlass replied to jayne12's topic in General Students

    Tattoo policies vary by school and facility. My nursing school was very strict - no visible tattoos and no facial piercing jewelry during clinicals. One of my classmates now works in the San...

  14. Wedding during ABSN

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

    Congratulations on your impending marriage! It really would make more sense for you to start the ABSN in Spring 2019. An ABSN is very fast-paced and intense, and the last thing you will need is to...

  15. Should i take these classes during summer or is it too much?

    FullGlass replied to lovenurses2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is doable to take those 3 classes during the summer. However, we don't know anything about you. Personally, I find subjects like Psychology and English quite easy and fun. If you find those...

  17. New Grad NP - Job Offer I Accepted

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

    Thank you to the posters who provided suggestions for negotiating my schedule and so forth. Also, I'm glad I was able to be of help to other new grad NPs - thank you for your kind words. Here is an...

  18. FNP - Their Own Clinic - California

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

    There are NP-owned practices in California. There is one in the San Diego/Inland Empire area that often recruits and they also pay very well. In addition, I have seen RN-owned medispa facilities -...

  19. General pay/scheduling questions re: NP

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

    Djmatte provided a good response. Many NPs do work 2 jobs to make extra money - a full time job and a part time job like home health assessments. Depending on the practice, there may be...

  20. PA curriculum

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

    Some of you may find this of interest: UC Davis Betty Irene School of Nursing offers a dual NP and PA program: M.S. — nurse practitioner and physician assistant dual-track

  21. Job Offer Details

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

    Salary also varies by location. Where is this job

  22. Are NPs expected to be happy and cheerful?

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

    What is your definition of "happy and cheerful?" I don't think anyone wants an NP or MD that is sad and cranky. During my NP clinical rotations, I had wonderful NP preceptors. They were calm,...

  23. How long usually to get a Psych certificate from FNP

    FullGlass replied to brinksta's topic in Advanced Practice

    It depends on the program. Some post-master's psych programs are part time. Others are mandatory full-time. The Johns Hopkins program is online and can be completed in one year. They will find...

  24. My Body Is Not My Resume: Exploring Nursing Dress Codes

    FullGlass replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I applied for a mental health job. After the initial phone interview went well, the employer asked me to do an interview via video conference. After that was over, I asked them why they requested...

    FullGlass replied to Byna92's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here is a report you can google to find: "State Level Projections of Supply and Demand for Primary Care Providers" What are you looking for? These are both big states with a lot of variety in...
