  1. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    I'm not going to apologize for my education and career choices. There is nothing stopping prospective NPs from obtaining RN experience. And RN experience is generally required for acute care APRN...

  2. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    My sincere and deep apologies if I offended anyone. I have nothing but respect and admiration for RNs and strive to always demonstrate that as a clinician and as a patient. And I have never asked an...

  4. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    I did exactly what you are planning to do - ABSN then MSN immediately afterward. The Hopkins MSN program had both experienced RNs and those of us who started immediately after BSN studies. I did not...

  5. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    I suggest you go directly to some well known nursing school websites. Johns Hopkins does indeed require RN experience for acute care NPs. However, Hopkins does not require RN experience for primary...

  6. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    As you state, bad prescribing practices occur with MDs and PAs. So are you contending the majority of bad prescribing comes from only DE NPs? Can you please give us a breakdown of where the bad...

  7. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    23 states and the VA already have full practice authority for NPs. In those states, outcomes are just fine. If you have evidence that patient outcomes have worsened in those states, please produce...

  9. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    There are very few RNs that work in primary care clinics. The typical practice has MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, and Medical Assistants. Some have an LVN. So, no, RNs do not have great influence or even...

  10. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    Do you know how many RNs interviewed me during my job search? ZERO. The majority of my interviews were with MDs. A handful were with

  11. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    Sorry, but I must disagree. Especially for an APRN, the school does matter. Many hiring managers will tell you that they will give first consideration to NPs from good schools. Medicine is the...

  12. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    Perhaps I do have a cognitive issue. Are you an NP? No, you are not. Are you working in a primary care environment? No, you state you are an ER RN. Are you in a position to hire Primary Care NPs?...

  13. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    I'm sorry; I was a bit cranky yesterday. However, in my previous career I was quite successful, so based on my experience, people who plan to fail will indeed fail. While it is important to have a...

  14. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    RN experience might be helpful, sure. Or it might not. My point is that it is not necessary to get an NP job. The trend is to direct-entry MSN and even DNP programs. Respectfully, unless you are...

  15. Can an AGACNP work in a clinic?

    FullGlass replied to pinkR.N.'s topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    FNP is primary care. AGACNP is acute care. If you choose the AGACNP route, you could work in an urgent care clinic. You WILL NOT be qualified to work in general primary care or most outpatient...

    I provided that study in my article. Guess what? The sun is going to go supernova and destroy the earth at some point. There is a supervolcano under Yellowstone Park that is going to explode and...

  17. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    Did you read my article? I said to GO WHERE THE JOBS ARE. I also gave extensive instructions on HOW TO FIND WHERE THE JOBS ARE. Guess what, people can sell their house. Kids can go to another...

  18. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    What is your point? Most moms are familiar with those things, too. So what? We're talking about whether RN experience is necessary to be a primary care NP. It is not

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

    NHSC makes a list of approved sites publicly available. Yes, eligibility can change over time. Here is the website to find eligible sites. Basically, the site must have a HPSA score of 17 or higher,...

  20. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    What is your point? This thread is reporting that NPs do not need RN experience to get a job in primary care. And not all RNs have ER or ICU

  21. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    NPs are not supposed to work outside their scope. Credentialing organizations are cracking down on this. And it is also the responsibility of employers to hire people with the right qualifications...

  22. You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

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

    My original post made it clear that I am talking about primary care. In primary care, we don't run IVs, except for a few specialties. Primary care NPs are well trained in advanced pharmacology,...

  24. I have 3.8 GPA with 3 Fs and 5 W on my transcript, will nursing schools reject me? :(

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

    A lot of nurses did not have stellar GPAs at the beginning of their academic career. I didn't. Retake the classes you got an F in. Make sure to get the best grades you can on nursing school...

    There are a lot of good schools in the Baltimore/Washington, DC area: Univ of Maryland, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, George Washington, etc. US News and World Reports publishes annual rankings....
