  1. Become a nurse at 41 from six figures???

    I would advise you to think very carefully and talk to as many nurses as possible before you make a decision. I am 51 and have had several careers. I have a CPA, MBA, worked in accounting for many years and have also taught high school for 5 years. ...

  3. Feeling a little defeated...and exhausted with studying!!

    Hi! I took the Kaplan live review course the last week in May and sat for the NCLEX today. I did all the Kaplan online Qtest and QBank questions. On the Qtrainer my scores ranged from 58 to 70 and my Q bank cumulative was 66. I thought the exam ques...
  4. UAMS 2011

    There used to be a nursing brochure that you could download that had the curriculum in it but I don't see it anywhere on there to be downloaded. You ought to go ahead and get the informational packet that they talk about under future students. That...
  5. UAMS 2011

    Hi! I am just getting to graduate from UAMS in a couple of weeks. It has been a long road. I can't tell you much about acceptance criteria because it seems to vary a lot from year to year. The year I got in they pretty much took everyone above a 2...
  6. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    Yes. And I believe we should receive an email in the last week of September saying if we got an interview or not. I hope these next couple of weeks go by fast!!
  7. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

    University of Southern Alabama has a BSN to DNP online program but it requires two years experience (I think) and they don't have the same options for DNP. That's the only other one I know of but I think lots of schools are adding the option. Severa...
  8. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

    I think they are pretty firm about GPA either a 3.0 overall or 3.25 last degree. The rest of the requirements are an essay, references, and an interview. When I asked them about competitiveness for this program that said that it is competitive but ...
  9. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

    sorry I just saw this thread. I am a BSN student (older) and am planning on going directly in to a DNP program. I, like you, was torn between psych and family practice because I like both and I feel like psych is a huge part of everything. I am pl...

    Barinbass, I'm curious about your experience in grad school. What type program are you in? I'm in a BSN program currently (I'm 49) and have no prior nursing experience. I'm planning on graduating in May 2011 and starting a DNP program in July 2011...
  11. University of South Alabama Family Psych NP program?

    catslady, I have sent an email to someone I used to know that graduated from the UAMS psych program about 1 year ago. If I hear back from her and hear anything helpful I'll pass it on. Have you heard anything about the quality or rankings of the di...

    marlilynmom, No I don't work in psych now. I'm still in a BSN program and won't graduate until May 2011. I'm planning to start grad school Aug 2011. I know that is not the best way to do it, but I'll be 50 then and I figure I need to go ahead and ...
  13. University of South Alabama Family Psych NP program?

    marilynmom, Thanks so much for sharing your reasoning for psych rather than family NP. I share a lot of your concerns about family NP. I am 49 and just getting my BSN now (will graduate in May 2011) However, I am in the honors program so I am takin...
  14. University of South Alabama Family Psych NP program?

    Sorry, I don't have any info on the program you are looking at, but I'm also interested in psych programs and I can't find a lot out there on them. Have you heard anything about the job market for pysch? I'm looking at University of TN at Memphis D...
