   icecreamcake replied to Pairofshues's topic in Missouri

   You will not find out if you are accepted until after the application deadline date. I found out within the same week of the deadline. I work full time while going to school part time.

2. UCM FNP - University of Central Missouri Family Nurse Practition Program ?s

   icecreamcake replied to Pairofshues's topic in Missouri

   I am currently in the FNP program at UCM and yes you do sign up for whatever classes you want. It is part-time and you have to get approval to go full-time. The problem with choosing which classes to take each semester (instead of having a set sche...

   icecreamcake replied to Marie32's topic in Missouri

   You have to sign up for classes yourself. Therefore you pick what classes you want to take each semester. That is if they are available...

5. NELRP 2014

   icecreamcake replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

   Anyone can "qualify" for the loan repayment as long as their loans aren't in default, no matter if you work in a Tier 1 or a Tier 3. The problem is they only have a certain amount of money to award, therefore there's a limited number who actually end...

6. NELRP 2014

   icecreamcake replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think whether you receive the award is based on whether you submit your application the day the cycle opens up or the day it closes. If you thoroughly read all of the information it states need is given based on your debt to income ratio and...

10. mask or flu shot?

    icecreamcake replied to lilangel6828's topic in COVID

    I decline the flu shot as well, they actually contain monkey kidney cells. You can find all of the vaccine ingredients (or at least the ingredients the CDC is willing to disclose...) on the CDC's website. I opt out because they have a lot of other c...

11. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    icecreamcake replied to OrangeSN's topic in NP

    If you are looking for the more scientific route I would look into PA school, most are 24-28 months and depending on the state have the same if not more autonomy than an NP.

12. Any NP programs that use the medical model?

    icecreamcake replied to SummitRN's topic in NP Students

    that's understandable, though I think autonomy depends on what state you work in as each have different laws. Each (NP and PA) have their pros/cons, I'm debating on which route I want to take.

13. RN to PA...?

    icecreamcake replied to cardsicu's topic in NP Students

    It sounds like PA is the right route for you. Especially if you are wanting to do trauma, surgery, etc.

14. Nurse Practitoner vs. Physician Assistant and Best Route to Become One

    icecreamcake replied to hanlie14's topic in NP Students

    I would opt for the 5-6 year PA school straight out of school. You can apply for PA school with your RN, but PA school is HIGHLY competitive compared to NP school.

15. NP training vs PA

    icecreamcake replied to Ginger88's topic in NP Students

    Most PA programs do require some sort of clinical/patient contact experience, from my research (as I am debating PA vs NP school) most want a minimum of 2000 hours, with average acceptance in the 6000-8000 hour range. There are also some schools tha...
