  1. Medscape PA Compensation Report 2024

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As NP and PA earnings are roughly the same, the following PA comp report is interesting. Breakdowns are provided by location, years experience, and specialty....

  2. Switching from Engineering to Nursing? Worth it?

    FullGlass replied to lea123456987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a high tech management consulting executive (Accenture, PWC, Oracle, etc) before becoming an NP. Started nursing school at age 53. Best career decision ever made. However, only you know...

  3. RN pay more than new grad NP pay

    FullGlass replied to MrsClarex4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you get 1-2 years NP experience, your earnings can go up substantially. My first NP job (2018), I made $115K per year w/$10K sign on bonus. After 18 months, got a job offer from a pain management...

  4. Student Health Center NP?

    FullGlass replied to daisychains11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was offered a job as an NP for a community college. The pay was not great, but it seemed like it would be a low stress job. The benefits were great - as a CA state employee. Lots of time off,...

  5. RN pay more than new grad NP pay

    FullGlass replied to MrsClarex4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm surprised you did not research NP pay before making the decision to become one. If you only become an NP to make more money, then you should not be an NP. You are a new NP w/o NP experience,...

  6. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    FullGlass replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Unfortunately, most PMHNP programs now emphasize psychopharmacology. While they cover talk therapy, there is very little in the way of supervised talk therapy training in these programs. At...

  7. Is being an NP worth it?

    FullGlass replied to daisychains11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Only become an NP if that is the kind of work you really want to do. If you are an experienced RN, you will probably make less on your first NP job than you did as an RN. NP pay varies widely...

  8. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    FullGlass replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So you believe your hours of "researching" are the equivalent of an LMFT or psychologist with a master's or doctoral degree + 5,000 hours of supervised

  9. New NP Grad Quitting after 1 month

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

    You are giving blanket advice based on your personal experience and how your organization provides references. This is not applicable to every circumstance. And what are "facts?" Here is a...

  10. New NP Grad Quitting after 1 month

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

    I do not understand why you are so determined to get the message out that it is OK to give a bad reference. It is not and carries liability risk. It also creates bad karma. I've been an executive...

  11. New NP Grad Quitting after 1 month

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

    Let me rephrase this. While it may not be outright illegal to give someone a bad reference, it is actionable. This is why many organizations no longer give references and only verify dates of...

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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....

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. 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

  18. 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...

  19. 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...

  20. 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...

  21. 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...

  22. 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...

  23. Private or State school?

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

    Congratulations!

  24. 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...

  25. 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,...
