  1. New Grad NP - How I Got Multiple Job Offers

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

    A site can only be eligible for loan repayment. The provider must apply for the program, so there is no guarantee one will get it. However, working at an eligible site is the first

  2. Older career changer

    FullGlass replied to rfsmom's topic in General Students

    Go for the RN. I started an accelerated BSN at age 52 and graduated from my MSN program and became an NP at age

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

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

    Frontier is a good school. There are plenty of good online programs. I think the concern is the for-profit schools that will admit anyone with a

  4. VA Nurse Practitioner

    FullGlass replied to serenitylove14's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here is the information I found on federal government websites regarding VA nurse classification and pay. The federal government publicly posts all salary and benefit information. 1. The federal...

  5. VA Nurse Classification

    FullGlass replied to LilMartyRN869's topic in General Specialties

    This is directly from the federal government: Nurse

  6. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    FullGlass replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    To the OP: there is no point to debating the merits of vaccines on this forum. It won't change the fact that your clinical sites will require you to be up-to-date on required vaccinations. No...

  7. The future of NP education

    FullGlass replied to ACNP2017's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The fault is with the ERs that hire FNPs to work outside their scope of

  8. VA Nurse Practitioner

    FullGlass replied to serenitylove14's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Government jobs generally pay less than private sector jobs. That's true across the board, from the military to civilian government jobs at the federal, state, and local levels. No one is forcing...

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

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

    I agree with your post. Just want to point out that all acute care NP programs I have seen do require 1 to 2 years of RN experience as an admission prerequisite, and I agree with that. In addition,...

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

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

    I merely reported facts. I was very surprised at these comments and I didn't take them so seriously. And these comments occurred multiple times, not just once each. My intent was to provide a...

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

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

    There has been absolutely no evidence that NPs with RN experience have superior outcomes. NO EVIDENCE. The little evidence that exists, and I agree this should be studied more, indicates there is no...

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

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

    Respectfully, you are misinterpreting my post. I merely reported what I was told. These employers did not say it was a plus or a minus. I am providing a direct quote of their

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

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

    My tone was factural. I'm not here to debate "should," as that boat has sailed. I'm reporting the reality of the NP job

  14. What are some of the "easier" NP programs to get accepted to?

    FullGlass replied to brinksta's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did not read the OP as being a slacker. There are plenty of good NPs that did not have a 4.0 GPA or tons of RN experience prior to their MSN program. There is a continuum of reputable NP schools,...

  15. What next?

    FullGlass replied to creyzi4zb12's topic in Nursing Career

    It depends on the state you are licensed in. For example, Maryland does not provide any sort of paper ID. It's all online. In contrast, California, does provide a paper ID card. Check with your...

  16. From NY to California, LA?

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

    Honestly, I have no idea why you want to move to L.A. I was happy to get out of L.A. and most of my friends have also moved away. The ones left in L.A. are planning to move out. Housing costs are...

  18. Job search tips for new grad NPs

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

    To clarify, I want to warn people not to go to shady for-profit schools that admit anyone with a pulse. There are plenty of reputable schools out there. However, my point is not that people from the...

  21. I need help!

    FullGlass replied to idave19's topic in General Students

    When you apply to a BSN program, they are going to care most about your prereq GPA. What is your nursing pre req GPA? A lot of us didn't great in undergrad first time around, so don't agonize over...

  23. What are some of the "easier" NP programs to get accepted to?

    FullGlass replied to brinksta's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ignore all the fearmongering here. Many good primary care NP programs are now direct-entry (no RN experience required). Note: acute care NPs must have RN experience. All NP programs list their...

    Here is an article that lists potential vulnerable populations: Vulnerable Populations: Who Are They? What are you interested in? For example, if you are interested in peds, you could pick a topic...

    FullGlass replied to Maryoconnor244's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The CRNA programs are going to be most interested in your nursing GPA and your RN experience. Continue to do well in nursing school. Don't obsess over your original undergrad GPA. You can discuss...
