1. NP and DNP students- hours studying??

   GCmomRN replied to yourgoodneighbor's topic in NP Students

   I'm in a 3 year "hybrid" AGNP program. I am in the 3rd year which is clinical with a didactic component. I'm in clinic 16-24 hours a week. I only go to campus twice a semester, but there are online lectures to supplement our reading. Each week we hav...

2. Fnp at stony brook university

   GCmomRN replied to Zlife's topic in NP Students

   Nope. And I just noticed that they pushed back the application deadline to January 19 so I'm not sure what that is going to mean for decisions. I'm just assuming I'll hear in March...hopefully.

4. Fnp at stony brook university

   GCmomRN replied to Zlife's topic in NP Students

   Interview was a group so it was interesting. I wouldn't give up hope yet, they said it could take up until the end of Feb or March to send out decisions.

   GCmomRN replied to saramay686's topic in Psychiatric

   I just applied to Stony Brook PMHNP program. It's mostly online and has a good reputation as far as I know! I know in state tuition isn't bad, not sure about non-resident.

8. RT to RN Programs

   GCmomRN replied to msr91331's topic in School Programs

   I was an RT and I went through Excelsior for my RN. You do have to be careful since some states will not accept Excelsior grads (Florida and California plus a bunch of the other states have restrictions).

9. Wanted to finish at Excelsior for ADN to BSN, turns out I need a new plan

   GCmomRN replied to tater.jake's topic in Online Learning

   I'm currently enrolled in Villanova's online RN-BSN program and I'm just finishing up my first class. I really like how this class was run and I hope this is how the rest are run. It's a new program so they are very invested in being connected with t...

    Thanks for posting this, I am having my husband look into adding it to our homeowner's as well.

11. Bachelors degree advice

    GCmomRN replied to niki1313's topic in School Programs

    If I were you, I'd go right for your BSN. This will set you up for many more educational opportunities in your future and most employers these days are starting to only hire BSN nurses. I know it's tempting to do a shorter program so you can start wo...

12. Daycare and Nursing

    GCmomRN replied to JasmDasm's topic in General Nursing

    We have an au pair who lives with us. For us it ends up being less expensive then daycare or other options for 2 kids, plus with our crazy hours it's been priceless for the flexibility alone. If you have an extra room in your house it's worth looking...

13. How long for EC to send transcript to BON???

    GCmomRN replied to BerryHappy's topic in Excelsior

    I graduated Sept. 17 (2010) in NY and took the NCLEX around Oct. 1 I think?? So it was pretty quick for me but I have a feeling this time of year is very busy with all the traditional school grads waiting on the NCLEX too. Good luck!

14. Looking for advice- BSN vs. MSN

    GCmomRN replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Learning

    Thanks! I'm trying to find programs that will accept non-BSN degrees and then I will start making some calls. My BS is from Stony Brook so I will start there (they will accept non-BSN into the MSN-ANP), but it's extremely competitive so I was hoping ...

    Oops! I'm an RN with an ADN from Excelsior, but I have a previous BS in respiratory... sorry for the confusion!
