1. Any Direct Entry NP programs that will take a non-RN with a BS from another field

   Kensington replied to Teapot12345's topic in First Year After Licensure

   In fact, that's exactly what the direct-entry programs are for -- to give someone with a non-nursing bachelors degree the opportunity to become a NP within 3 years (give or take). I'm at Yale right...

2. Are there any Cardiology NPs here?

   Kensington replied to christvs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Hi Kristiern, are you an ACNP? FNP? ANP? Just

3. NPs in California

   Kensington replied to Kensington's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Thanks you guys, I appreciate the info. I'm gathering, basically, that California is following suit, and that scope of practice is becoming much more narrowly defined and mandated. If I have that...

4. NPs in California

   Kensington replied to Kensington's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Hmm, perhaps this is why I never read anything on California, LOL. Anyone, anyone?

5. NPs in California

   Kensington posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Hi all, I read a lot of "scope of practice" discussions about NPs in Texas, and how their BON is really cracking down on FNPs in the hospital. What about California? Can anyone speak to the...

6. another "what are my chances" thread

   Kensington replied to sprinklez's topic in Post Graduate Students

   You completely have a shot. Most direct-entry programs really look at the whole package, and I mean that -- they really do. I interviewed at several schools, and have talked with many other...

7. applying to direct entry masters programs

   Kensington replied to peonie's topic in Post Graduate Students

   Unfortunately, Yale's financial aid package isn't the best. They have a really strong program, however, and they cost less than Columbia! You definitely need the right combination of factors for you...

8. Heading to San Fran

   Kensington replied to registeredin06's topic in California Nursing

   I would start to look at areas near your hospital, because getting around the city takes more time than you think (my friend lives four miles away and it takes me 20+ minutes to get over to her via...

9. applying to direct entry masters programs

   Kensington replied to peonie's topic in Post Graduate Students

   Hey you guys, I'm going to be starting Yale's direct-entry program in the fall, and would highly recommend looking into their program. They have a lot of specialty options, which is what originally...

10. Where is Family NP heading?

    Kensington replied to buffscotty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are those 2 NPs in trauma

11. Life and jobs in San Francisco

    Kensington replied to krazykev's topic in California Nursing

    I live in the city, and I just love it. If you want an urban environment, and be able to walk and public transport to many things, it's GREAT. Yes, parking can be a pain, but you don't have to pay...

12. What should I do?

    Kensington replied to dohzenOFF's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would definitely apply this year if you can pull it off. You have nothing to lose (well, except for all the time it takes to put an application packet together!), and potentially everything to...

13. GNP or FNP?

    Kensington replied to TaylorMade,R.N.'s topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Right, and I think that's the big question for me in California. If I can be in the hospital with FNP, then it seems like a really good way to go, because I can also be in primary care down the road,...

14. Dansko Shoes are killing my feet!!!

    Kensington replied to Carianne's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    So . . . update! I returned my Danskos to Nordstrom (which were the black cabrio leather -- the more shiny, regular black leather). The sales guy offered to bring me lots of different ones in my...

15. GNP or FNP?

    Kensington replied to TaylorMade,R.N.'s topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, so how on earth does one go about figuring out what's the best specialty in their state? I'm just beginning school (direct-entry program) in the fall, and the FNP vs. ACNP debate has been...
