   Wow, thank you, it's very nice to get information like that. How did you enjoy your clinicals, any hospital or rotation in particular that was particularly good? From the example curriculum online, it looks like you do a clinical in med surg, adult...

   @justrunfast985, I was hoping you could speak a little bit about how the RN portion of the program was for your class. What your average day was like. What kind of resources the program has re: simulators, clinical experiences, etc. Is anything el...

   i'm in as well for agpcnp, i saw that last year's class has a fb page, but the admin person is someone who works in the gep department. maybe we should wait and let them set it up? but it probably also makes no difference who sets it up

   hi616, i know it's probably not an option, and like i said i'm not exactly in a position to worry about it yet. i think given the fact that i've spent years deciding on fnp, it just makes me sad that they got rid of it last minute and it's not like ...

    ncami10, sittenfeld, and hi616, thank you all for posting quality answers to my big question. this bsn v rn thing had never crossed my path, all the np's i've worked with never brought it up, so i was getting worried that i'd never heard of this maj...

    hopefullady replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate

    I have a question for anyone with any insight. This ongoing discussion about how it's hard for GEP grads to get RN jobs, either during the APN portion of school or even once you have your APN license, for only the lack of a BSN degree seems to be a ...
