  1. NP course work - as a non degree student

    FullGlass replied to Sam121's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is a very troubling post and exactly why doctors look down on NPs. If you want to be an NP, this is core knowledge and you better take a rigorous course. I really hope you do not become an

  2. Does RN experience improve NP competency?

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

    I wrote a "mini" evidence review. You clearly did not read all the cited studies. My point

  3. Does RN experience improve NP competency?

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This has been a topic of much debate among nursing professionals on this forum. The answer is: it depends. Until relatively recently, RN experience was required for admission to NP programs....

  4. Does RN experience improve NP competency?

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

    The evidence indicates that RELATED RN experience MIGHT be helpful. However, the vast majority of NPs work in primary care and the vast majority if RNs work inpatient. In your example, you are...

  5. Ceased placement due to not taking vital signs properly

    FullGlass replied to Kirsten Kurian's topic in General Students

    I find this unbelievable. It is the school's job to teach their students and advocate for them. It looks bad for the school to have students not graduate and so on. I had a clinical placement...

  6. From Alaska RN to California RN license enforcement

    FullGlass replied to AKrn2024's topic in General Nursing

    You have to contact the CA BON for this information. Emailing them works better than trying to call. Good

  7. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    I am sick of the diploma mills, as well. Out of curiousity, I checked job listings for NPs on Indeed in MD and overall pay has increased since I was there. Generally pay is around $110K to $150K...

  8. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    Agreed, but my point that people who want to be NPs should research their likely pay stands. Also, pay varies by location. The OP said she is in MD, so I am surprised by her low pay. MD...

  9. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    $50-60 per hour is about $100-120K per year if FT. That is not bad for a brand new NP. Pay will go up with experience. Unfortunately, pediatrics tends to be a poorly paid specialty, even for...

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

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    About me: middle-aged, no RN experience, prior career unrelated to healthcare. I joke that I'm "female, fat, and over forty." My only real "plus" is that I went to a prestigious school. Job Search...

  11. Psych NP for medspa?

    FullGlass replied to 3TimesACharm's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are not an NP. Someone who wants to own a medspa as an NP should choose an NP specialty that will provide education and training related to that. Psych does not. The best bet for the OP is FNP...

  12. Private or State school?

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

    Congratulations!

  13. New NP Grad Quitting after 1 month

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

    1. I suggest you talk to an employement attorney. Sounds like a hostile work environment. First consult is free. 2. If you want to know if this place is going to badmouth you, have a friend...

  14. Any advice for a new grad FNP's first job position?

    FullGlass replied to dt0327's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Another possibility is to work for the State, so you keep your benefits, esp retirement. Colleges hire FNPs. One of the job offers I got as a new grad was at a community college. The pay was lower,...

  15. Question on boilerplate text in chart notee

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello all, I am curious about excessive use of boilerplate text and legal liability. My employer has now modified the EHR to automatically put in a huge amount of boilerplate into every chart...

  16. Any advice for a new grad FNP's first job position?

    FullGlass replied to dt0327's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in Bakersfield and have seen numerous FQHC openings that will accept new grads throughout the Central Valley. It is very common in CA for people to work somewhere during the week and then...

  17. Any advice for a new grad FNP's first job position?

    FullGlass replied to dt0327's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Try applying to FQHCs near you: https://findahealthcenter.HRSA.gov/ You may have to move or be willing to live near job during week and commute home on weekends. There are tons of jobs...

  18. Question on boilerplate text in chart notee

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

    She probably is being forced. Oh well, hopefully this won't ever be

  19. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    FullGlass replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The solution is to have more GOOD schools and/or to increase spaces at existing GOOD schools, not have a bunch of poor quality schools churning out poor quality

  20. ADN Program worth it?

    FullGlass replied to Julia N.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't do it. For an ADN, your best bet is a community college. That would save you a lot of $. Once you have your RN, then you can do a bridge to BSN program, which many employers will pay

  21. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    FullGlass replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Amen. Recently, I have been feeling ashamed of being an NP because of all the bad NPs now being churned out by diploma mills. I am also dismayed at how many users of this forum openly ask for the...

  22. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    FullGlass replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Personally, I think the real issue with the for-profit schools is the lack of admissions standards. They will pretty much accept anyone with a pulse. So they get a lot of crap students who then...

  23. I want to go to College

    FullGlass replied to Lisa2325's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, some of my classmates that worked as CNAs during nursing school were offered jobs at those places as an

  24. Do W's on your transcript affect you getting into nursing school?

    FullGlass replied to Stella36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I entered ABSN as I already had Bachelor's but I had to take and retake science prereqs b/c I graduated a long time ago. I had 3.98 GPA on those and other related courses I took. I wrote in essay...

  25. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    FullGlass replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If they are students, then of course they are not yet ready to be an NP! That is the definition of a student! Your job as a preceptor is to help them get ready. If they knew everything, then they...
