   Snarf replied to GoodNP's topic in NP Students

   Yes, I did. Kinda expensive for so few questions but it let me know which areas I knew very little about. Thank heavens there was only 1 easy OB question...birthin' babies ain't my thing:)

2. ANCC FNP exam: My experience

   Snarf replied to GoodNP's topic in NP Students

   I passed the ANCC FNP exam today. I really hadn't expected to pass since the only studying I did was about 4 hours the weekend before and I've been out of the NP program for almost 5 months. I did buy the ANCC 150 question practice tests and spent ...

3. Fort Hays State U. FNP program applicant

   Snarf replied to Kevbot's topic in NP Students

   The admission process wasn't a big deal for me since I already had an MSN and my assigned advisor was the same advisor I'd had for my BSN program. Because I had done my BSN at FHSU, I automatically had all of their pre-req courses completed. I've he...

4. Fort Hays State U. FNP program applicant

   Snarf replied to Kevbot's topic in NP Students

   I'm doing the post-Masters FNP program at Fort Hays...just finished my first class today. Even though I live in Colorado, I chose this program because the cost is so much less than the other programs I looked at. Also, I completed my BSN at Fort Ha...

5. CCD discontinues ADN nursing program.

   Snarf replied to B_OTT's topic in Colorado

   I understand your frustration and I feel your pain. As a CCD nursing faculty member for the past 5 years, I am heart-broken over the loss of CCD's ADN program. A large part of the problem that led to the closure comes from the Colorado Board of Nursi...

6. Denver school of nursing and other schools that are not nationally accredited?

   Snarf replied to salsaking's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Not necessarily...now diploma programs are typically affiliated with local colleges so those credits will transfer. Diploma RN credits can often count for college credit via articulation agreements with colleges or by testing out (such as with Excel...

7. Kent State

   Snarf replied to my4helpers's topic in Ohio

   I graduated from Fort Hays State University's online RN to BSN program. They accepted all of my original Kent State credits. Because I already had a bachelor's degree, I was not required to complete their general education requirements. The only n...

8. Kent State

   Snarf replied to my4helpers's topic in Ohio

   I graduated from Kent State East Liverpool almost 25 years ago. I just got my BSN in 2008 and I had no trouble transferring in the Bio Structure and Function class from 1984. I looked at several different BSN programs and all were fine with the A&a...

9. Denver school of nursing and other schools that are not nationally accredited?

   Snarf replied to salsaking's topic in Pre-Nursing

   In the past nursing schools in Colorado were never required to be accredited by the NLN or CCNE but all of that is now changing. The BON is mandating that all Colorado nursing programs be accredited...any program that fails to achieve NLN or CCNE wil...

10. Fort Hays or University of Wyoming online RN-BSN

    Snarf replied to CRTtoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated from Fort Hays last year. The program was a bit disorganized but overall it was satisfactory...just get everything in writing when you have your previous coursework evaluated. I applied for the MSN program at the University of Wyoming a...
