  1. Clinical Commute Question

    FullGlass replied to StudentNursing3717's topic in General Students

    Whether that is a "doable" commute is based on your individual tolerance level. When I was in nursing school I had to get up at 5 or 5:30 am sometimes based on when the clinical started and where it...

  2. Unprofessional surveyor

    FullGlass replied to 1 tired nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to get a 2nd opinion. While many attorneys are reluctant to sue the government, there are some that specialize in this. Do some googling to find these for your state. Many lawyers do...

  3. Unprofessional surveyor

    FullGlass replied to 1 tired nurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you can prove the surveyor is stalking you on social media, then report them to their employer! There are ways to track where the person is posting from, even if they are trying to disguise...

  4. Low GPA hitting road blocks

    FullGlass replied to ERNurseHailey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will share my experience in the hope it will help others. I started my ABSN program at the age of 53, after a successful business career. Becoming an NP was my midlife crisis. 🙂 My...

  5. Psych NPs that Quit Psych

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

    These practitioners may be in high demand, but very few people can afford to pay cash for such appointments. Building a practice without accepting insurance is not easy. Please do not mislead people...

    FullGlass replied to pattipepperoni's topic in General Students

    It seems Mt Sinai and BMCC are your best bets, but you have not been accepted by either program yet. I suggest you wait until you are accepted by at least 1

  7. How to finish BSN

    FullGlass replied to samuel.gorelik's topic in General Students

    I strongly urge you to appeal to your school advisor, professor and even Dean, if you have to. Beg and grovel if you must, to be allowed to finish the program. During my ABSN, one of my clinical...

  8. LPN nursing school student single mom

    FullGlass replied to erinMD92's topic in General Students

    Nursing is an excellent career choice. You need to retake 4 nursing prereq classes. I suggest you do this gradually. Take 2 classes at a time and no more, as it sounds like you have a lot on your...

    FullGlass replied to Daisy Nursing's topic in General Students

    That is wonderful! So glad things worked out OK. When I was in nursing school, I struggled at times. My professors told me not to be embarassed about talking to them and asking for help. In...

    FullGlass replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    To OP: you have received good advice so far. I have a minor disagreement w/JPHeeler. Write down what happened for your private use only. This type of journaling can help you reconstruct what...

  11. NEW GRAD PSYCH NURSE NEED ADVISEMENT

    FullGlass replied to JLOR's topic in Nursing Career

  12. Need advice - is this malingering?

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

    Thank you for your response. Legally, this pt is an independent adult. My professional opinion is that this pt is NOT permanently disabled. It would be best for them to work PT or volunteer PT....

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a PMHNP and need advice on if this pt is malingering and their request to get SSI. Have been seeing a pt, let's call them X, who just graduated from high school. They are on the autism...

  14. New Grad NPs - some job search comments

    FullGlass posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a PMHNP and in charge of recruiting for our practice. Just want to make a few comments: 1. I get a lot of resumes from new NP grads that are a little puzzling. The person graduated from...

    Just inform the appropriate people at your school and have evidence that you are getting a legitimate RX. Best

  18. Failed my Fundamentals and Pharmacology Class in the second semester of nursing school.

    FullGlass replied to Daisy Nursing's topic in General Students

    1. You need to talk to the professors that taught those classes and ask their advice. 2. You should have an academic advisor - go talk to them and ask what your options are. 3. Every...

  19. Low GPA Application :(

    FullGlass replied to SB111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. Nursing schools care most about your GPA in your nursing prereqs. If needed, retake any such classes and try to get an A in those. If you haven't taken all your nursing prereqs, then take them...

  20. Big issues at work

    FullGlass replied to Lindsey Oldag's topic in General Nursing

    The resident that "hates" you likely has dementia, so their cognition is not 100%. Experienced management would know this is true of many LTC residents. This place now sounds like a nightmare,...

    FullGlass replied to Guy Rien's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure I understand the question. At most UC and CS schools, nursing is an impacted major and admissions are highly competitive. With a 2.5 GPA your freshman year, your chances of getting into...

  23. Leaving early for lunch

    FullGlass replied to snf248's topic in Advanced Practice

    I suggest you talk to your employer and find out why they have a problem with your schedule. Is there something they need you to do that you are not doing? Is it a perception issue? The best way to...

    FullGlass replied to em.smelly's topic in General Students
