  1. IV's/Blood draws as FNP

    Really? Now maybe it's cause I've only ever worked in the ER, but I routinely do things that the techs normally do; not just cause Kaiser is too cheap to hire a reasonable amount of techs (i.e two techs for 40 - 50 patients) I do these things when I ...
  2. Moving to OR, what ER to work at?

    Sorry to comment on a dead thread but... It's easy to disbelieve this based upon the massive publicity over the past few years but all Kaiser's are non-profit. Source: I work for Kaiser.
  3. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    Well done. That's good researching. I just wish this very basic information was more transparent; even in the late 90s, you could go to barnes & noble and pretty much figure all this kind of stuff out about most colleges/universities in about 30 ...
  4. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    Super inexpensive but what about the GPA being 3.0 for every graduate thing? is that even a thing? that's what I've read but haven't verified. i'm pretty sure that would be a non-starter for many post-master's NP programs. You might say my original q...
  5. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    Well that's not too shabby then. quick math would suggest it would be about $22k for the same amount of credits - very reasonable :)
  6. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    I appreciate the optimism. While I was completing my BSN, I did research some about this; especially for the US dept. of public health and the Indian Affairs etc.. The military isn't so much an option for me, but maybe the NSA? haha
  7. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    Without getting into too much detail about my personal finances, I do know about loan repayment options.; Some of which are applicable, most of which aren't.
  8. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    Thanks. I just found this ... UAB - School of Nursing - Tuition & Fees . Looks like the out of state tuition + the univ. tuition is quite a bit more than $18k though.
  9. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    Yeah, I've heard much about Frontier. They are one of the few programs that actually lay out their costs very plainly Tuition | Frontier Nursing University . From what I've read about Frontier it seems that even within the FNP program the emphasis is...
  10. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    They do offer tuition reimbursement. Although, the amount is relatively small. Maybe I should have rephrased my original question a bit. I'm aware that cheaper is not always the best; not unlike money does not always = quality (i.e. Univ. of Phoenix,...
  11. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    Exactly. This is the type of response I honestly appreciate for all of about 8 seconds. I realize cost shouldn't be the TOP priority priority, which is why my original question takes up about 1/2 of a page. Boston, huh? So if you clicked on my link y...
  12. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    Thanks for the quick responses. The WGU concept seems to be more than just a novel ideal - thanks for the info. Of course, it opens up the natural follow-up question of where to get a post-master's cert. for FNP but, I suppose, cheaper is cheaper. :)...
  13. Cheapest NP Program...period.

    Hey Folks, Yeah I'm actually asking this question seriously. So here's the thing: I've been an RN (w/ a BSN and a prev. Bach.) in the ER for 1.5 years. It's awesome. I thoroughly enjoy it, but it's a 2nd (okay 4th career) for me and I've al...
  14. Pay Rate

    Yeah so that's not so true though. Several people have posted their basic pay rate information and along with rough geographic and specialty area info; data points which are especially informative when hunting for a new position in an unfamiliar area...

    Less about commutes and communities and more about what the op actually asked please.
