  1. Questions about withdrawals

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

    Relax. It is fine. I had Ws and got into Johns Hopkins and UCLA! You can address these in your essay - just explain what like you did in your post. Best

  2. Walden University vs Wilkes University PMHNP

    FullGlass replied to psychgirl1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Both of them are for-profit diploma mills. There are plenty of reputable nonprofit schools out there, so please go to one of

  3. What is the best area to work in for psych experience that is not psych?

    FullGlass replied to nathaliasosa's topic in Psychiatric

    Working in the ER will likely expose you to psych emergencies. Also, oncology. Neurology would also expose you to psych issues. If the hospital has orthopedics or similar, working with chronic pain...

  4. Is hospital experience required for FNP application?

    FullGlass replied to AMH24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Either one is fine. However, if you want to work in primary care, then primary care experience will be more beneficial, as it will be related to what you will be doing. If you think you would like...

  5. I want to go to College

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

    CNA is going to give you hands on patient care experience, so I suggest

  6. Advice needed!!

    FullGlass replied to brosie3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For-profit schools are ruining the nursing profession and should be

  7. Adult-Gerontology Acute Care (AGAC), Adult Gerontology Primary Care (AGPC), or Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)?

    FullGlass replied to NewRookie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just because someone is an RN, does not mean NP is automatically the best next step for them. PA is a better option for some people. It depends on what kind of work the person wants to do. PAs can...

  8. Ceased placement due to not taking vital signs properly

    FullGlass replied to Kirsten Kurian's topic in General Students

    What school are you going to? From what you said, the placement site completely over-reacted. You are a student! Of course you are not going to know everything. Your school should have assigned...

  9. Nursing Scholarships. Is Nursing Corps worth it?

    FullGlass replied to Anais2024's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it worth it? Of course it is! Hmm . . . full-ride scholarship (tuition, books) plus a monthly stipend for living expenses like housing. Why would anyone want

  10. Psych clinicals w/ no inpatient?

    FullGlass replied to DonKlonopin's topic in General Students

    That is odd. My ABSN program had in-person psych. Frankly, I don't see how simulation can replace the real

  11. Choosing a Nursing School - I have Many Questions

    FullGlass replied to Yu-Hsuan Liang's topic in General Students

    Why on earth would you pay 200K for Master's degree to become an RN? That is insane. Please do some ROI analysis before spending this amount of money and probably incurring a lot of debt. How...

  12. Current BSN student, externship + NP school?

    FullGlass replied to mikk8798's topic in General Students

    Your mental health is the most important thing. Take the Summer to rest up and finish strong to graduate from school with your mental health intact. If you want to become an NP and work in derm,...

  13. Florida to California Licensing Questions

    FullGlass replied to Sarah127's topic in General Students

    The answers to your questions are on the CA Board of Reg Nursing website. CA is the hardest RN and NP license to get and it takes a long time. The usual processing times are also on the CA BON...

  14. Is it worth it at this point?

    FullGlass replied to stargurl2006's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Only you know if becoming an NP is worth it to you. While you said you can't move out of state, are there other locations within your state with better job prospects? Also, I'm curious as to why you...

  15. Does RN experience improve NP competency?

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

    I essentially wrote a paper reviewing the evidence, and it concluded that RN experience is not required to be a good NP. There was not one single study to the contrary. Your anecdotal opinion does...

  16. Does RN experience improve NP competency?

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

    I'm sorry you have a problem, but the evidence does not support your view. In addition, it is highly unreasonable to demand that NPs that do not have the background you prefer have a different title....

  17. Did I ruin my chances?

    FullGlass replied to Jenny7's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm curious - how did the corrections management make you feel your RN license was in jeopardy? Was this because of actions you took as an RN there? If this a smaller town or city with only 1...

  18. Moving to California from Ontario, need advice/help navigating the licensure process

    FullGlass replied to cement's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Go to the Calif BON website to get answers to your questions. Getting a CA license takes a long time - so check the processing times on the Calif BON website. It is the hardest license to get of...

  19. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

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

    What is sad is the attitude of many prospective NPs and NPs that school doesn't matter - they openly ask for the easiest and fastest school, with no consideration of quality. My attitude is...

  20. Should NPs learn from Korean MD strikes?

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

    I am now in charge of recruiting for our practice. If I see an NP resume and the person has only gone to diploma mills, I pass. If someone has gone to reputable schools for part of their...

  21. Calif RNs - think very carefully if you really want to become an NP

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

    You are exactly the type of person that SHOULD become an NP! We need more people like you! Unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of RNs that don't think through whether or not they should be an...

  22. Future NP in need of advice

    FullGlass replied to ChronicallystrongRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations on acceptance to a PMHNP program! If you want to work remote, PMHNP is your best bet. However, there are options for RNs and FNPs to do telehealth. RNs can perform case...

  23. Calif RNs - think very carefully if you really want to become an NP

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

    In CA, RNs have a union. That is rare, and is also why CA RNs make more money. There are location differences - jobs in the SF Bay Area and Silicon Valley will pay more due to the higher cost...

  24. Calif RNs - think very carefully if you really want to become an NP

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

    If I was making $228,800 per year as a perm employee with great benefits, I'd hang on to that job for dear life! That is more than some MDs make. If RNs can make that kind of money, then why on...

  25. Calif RNs - think very carefully if you really want to become an NP

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

    Just a quick update: I was so shocked that the candidate said they are making $110 per hour as an RN that is a permanent employee, I did some research and it doesn't add up. $110 per hour x...
