1. Forced to Drop Due to Clinical Placement

   Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in NP Students

   My main issue is that they said that in the event they are unable to place or the student is unable to find a clinical site, then they could arrange it in Birmingham. I found three clinical sites for the next few semesters that are now lost. It was a...

   It’s hybrid. Half online with a campus visit every semester. It’s through university of Alabama at Birmingham.

3. Forced to Drop Due to Clinical Placement

   Telenurse1990 posted a topic in NP Students

   I guess I’m just kind of looking for some guidance. This is a long post. I’m attending UAB for their acute care program. This semester was supposed to be my first clinical semester but unfortunately due to multiple delays on both UABs part as w...

4. ACNP - Will I be missing out?

   Telenurse1990 replied to Apple2020's topic in Advanced

   I know it’s good to plan your route and all. But please get at the very least a FEW years of experience and do all you can to excel in that role. There are so many things to learn as a ED nurse and trauma nurse that will benefit you in the long run a...

   So my husband and I recently decided to move to Chicago to pursue grad school. My background is mostly in Cardiac ICU.Any advice on the hospitals in the area? I wanted to apply to Loyola but after reading about the hospital it has me reconsidering. A...

6. Good online NP Program

   Telenurse1990 replied to desertrose501's topic in NP Students

   I Couldn't agree more. To the original poster, do yourself a favor. Hold off and apply to a decent school with a reputation, clinical placement and some sort of standards to be upheld. Especially for ACNP. You need a school that actually takes the t...

7. Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

   Telenurse1990 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Please. Physicians do stuff like this and regularly are not held to the same standards as a nurse would be. I know of a few specific incidents where physicians have removed the wrong kidney and have event amputated the wrong limb and continue to prac...

8. For-Profit NP admissions... I thought they were joking!

   Telenurse1990 replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced

   Well said. I get so annoyed with people who don’t see the main point. It hurts the profession. Plain and simple. It’s not a hard concept to understand. You go go to Walden for what purpose? A set of power points and bogus discussion boards? No clini...

9. Brightwood Closing ALL Campuses!

   Telenurse1990 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

   That's insane....I couldn't imagine 126,000 for an associates. Terrible.

10. Brightwood Closing ALL Campuses!

    Telenurse1990 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    I went to a "chain school" and have done just fine. But not all are equal. My school required a Passing TEAS test score and was actually regionally accredited. I know people who went to Brightwood here in California and can't even go on for their BS...

11. FNP opportunities

    Telenurse1990 posted a topic in NP Students

    I was recently accepted into Simmons college out of of Boston, MA. I've heard really great things about their program and am excited to go to a legit program. With that that being said, it is very expensive. I know FNP saturation is a real thing, bu...

12. Vanderbilt ACNP

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in NP Students

    Yeah, I got an odd answer from them as well. For 1500 + a per credit hour? No thank you.

13. Vanderbilt ACNP

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in NP Students

    I would if necessary. But I can't imagine cold calling and begging for clinical placements.

14. Vanderbilt ACNP

    Telenurse1990 posted a topic in NP Students

    Anyone have any feedback on Vanderbilts ACNP program? I can't seem to get a straight answer as to whether or not they hold students responsible for their clinical placement or if they assist at all. Also, any general feedback about the program would ...

15. NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in NP Students

    Its because its becoming a fad and sets an unrealistic expectation for students. Also because their lack of experience and willingness to go to any school that will get them licensed is ultimately destroying the profession. I would never trust a nurs...
