1. Business major at UC school transfer to nursing?

   aggie313 replied to 321GoForIt's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'd finish up your bachelors while completing prereqs and gaining volunteer experience then apply to ELMSN programs to become a NP. It's the fastest route I think if being a NP is your end goal.

2. ASN/BSN/or Accelerated MSN?

   aggie313 replied to mhartj's topic in Pre-Nursing

5. Transfer from UC to Nursing School ?

   aggie313 replied to orchids1129's topic in California

   Fellow Aggie here. I was in the same boat you were. I'd say to get any health care exp you can whether it be paid or not, especially with underserved populations. Nursing schools love that kind of stuff. There are 7 student run clinics in Sac affilia...

6. Advice--Where to go from here. Med School?

   aggie313 replied to LizHope's topic in Advanced

   Liz, My advice is to apply to as many direct entry NP programs as you can that guarantee you the NP track of your choice and see where you get in. Some are as little as 1.75 years to as long as 4 years. I'm 24 right now and started the direct entry N...

8. FNP Cal State LA or CSULB?

   aggie313 replied to Enfermera_me's topic in NP

   The FNP I shadowed in socal said she refuses to precept students from schools with no contracted affiliation with her practice (i.e. CSULB and CSULA) and urged me to go to a school that found preceptors for you to avoid unnecessary frustration.

    aggie313 replied to Calinca's topic in NP Students

    No worries about being on the younger end of the spectrum. There's 2 students who graduated from college 1 month before the program started and a couple others who graduated 1 year before. And some have never had paid/real world work experience and ...

12. what made you choose NP over PA?

    aggie313 replied to pink_zebra's topic in Post Graduate

    PA schools required paid healthcare exp and I only had volunteer exp so that left me with the NP route.

13. I hate being a nurse

    aggie313 replied to SJE RN's topic in Career Support

    SJERN, Being a NP is the way to go to get out of this bedside nursing mess. I'm in a elmsn fnp program and I'm so thankful for that because I can go through the rn portion in a year and head straight into the fnp portion. A friend just graduated from...

    I was wondering what the avg salary is for FNPs in retail clinics such as minute clinic and take care health clinics. And what about per diem shifts? I'm seriously considering working in such a setting a few years after getting some experience.
