  2. Read one chapter didn't get a single question right

    FullGlass replied to chaselynnai's topic in General Students

    FullGlass replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

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

  8. Psych Private Practice, What's Realistic?

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

  10. FNP/AGNP

    FullGlass replied to RICHJOANNE's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm don't know where you live. I live in California and we also have many small towns and rural areas. NPs who practice outside of their scope are setting themselves up for big trouble. I am...

  11. New NP looking for first job

    FullGlass replied to David2017's topic in Advanced Practice

    I've been interviewing A LOT. So far, I have never been asked a question to test my clinical knowledge, beyond describing my clinical rotations. Only one provider arranged for me to shadow them for...

  12. FNP/AGNP

    FullGlass replied to RICHJOANNE's topic in Advanced Practice

    I must respectfully disagree with your post. NPs should only practice to the extent of their training and experience. NPs are liable for malpractice. An NP practicing outside their authority, like...

  13. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    FullGlass replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    Not everyone likes working 12 hour shifts. There's no shame in that. If you don't like it, then find a job with hours suited to you. I'm currently interviewing, and one doctor told me he only...

  16. Who salary is higher NP or PA?

    FullGlass replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think averages are misleading. You need to look at the pay of PA versus NP for the same type of job in the same type of setting. Averages also include people who work part time. The average pay...

    FullGlass replied to redbullz9's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  18. Does it matter if you go to NP school in a different part of country than you want to work

    FullGlass replied to CR660's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In short, no. You can go to FNP school on the West Coast and get a job on the East Coast. But why? I don't understand why you view FNP school as the time to see another part of the country. By...

    FullGlass replied to Aaron.goins3's topic in General Students

    It is possible. How difficult it is depends on you - we don't know what you find easy or difficult. I am curious, though, as to why patho is a prereq. Normally, patho is taught in nursing
