   heliconiabay replied to bwrightrn's topic in Doctoral

   I would have loved to apply for this program since I went to college in AZ. I now live in FL so I am considered out of state for tuition purposes and it is just sooo expensive. I wonder why they charge out of state tuition for an online program? If i...

   heliconiabay replied to Floridanurse's topic in NP Students

   Hi I am also in FL looking for a good FNP program. Is this program 'brick and mortar' or online? I am in North Florida but really would like to relocate anyways so it wouldn't be that big of deal. It looks like the only requirements listed for admiss...

4. Buying my first book:) APA book question

   heliconiabay replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in NP Students

   According to the review dates on Amazon the bad reviews were coming mostly from posts dated in 2009. If you click on 'newest reviews first' then it looks like the customers have been getting the newer corrected version. I guess you could also call th...

   heliconiabay replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in NP Students

   Congratulations, that is great news!! Glad you were able to start in Oct. I am still deciding where to go and also thinking about where to create the 'zen area' with a desk as well. I have a feeling that my laptop on my bed or the couch isn't going t...

6. Any FNP out there that went to a for profit online university out there?

   heliconiabay replied to Ptrv12's topic in NP Students

   I can see both sides of the coin on this issue. I think most programs are pretty good but the learning process is highly individual. I went the extra mile in volunteering, working as a cna, then getting a nurse extern, etc. in my BSN program so I wil...

7. Malpractice insurance for RNs?

   heliconiabay replied to SummerLei's topic in ADN/BSN

   Very interesting thread. I hadn't really thought about needing it in the hospital. One of our instructors in our undergrad program also worked as an expert witness. She told us if we had insurance and if there was a potential lawsuit that they would ...

   heliconiabay replied to MommyandRN's topic in Chamberlain College

   Did anyone here choose this school for certain? I am wondering about financial aid, how smooth was that process if you used it? I would rather start this fall than January but it might be too late for that now lol.

   Thanks everyone, this has been an informative thread. I am trying to decide which school to complete my MSN/FNP. I am in the Univ of North FL area and everyone here seems to be big fans of that school. If I went there, they are priced similarly or hi...

    heliconiabay replied to Danish's topic in NP Students

    From what I understand, The FL Board doesn't regulate post RN licensure programs. I thought they just regulate the undergraduate programs for intial licensure. Not sure though...please post here if you find anything out for sure. I am also in FL and ...

11. University of Arizona BSN to PhD

    heliconiabay replied to ParkerBC,MSN,RN's topic in Post Graduate

    Thanks I am out of state (east coast) so I am concerned about the tuition being so high for me otherwise I would probably go ahead and apply. I would have to come up with quite a bit out of pocket that financial aid wouldn't cover. I know U of AZ i...

12. Chamberlain FNP program

    heliconiabay replied to Lonlai84's topic in Chamberlain College

    Thanks scrubing77. That does sound promising I hope everything works out great for you :) I am not near as nervous about patho and pharm as I am about finding a preceptor lol. It looks like the first year is just the core classes? So then the clinic...

    heliconiabay replied to Lonlai84's topic in Chamberlain College

    I would love to do this program just very worried about where I would do the clinicals at. Since its a new program, I wonder if the students would have problems getting places that would precept them. How soon do you have to have the preceptors in pl...

    I know this is an old thread but I have the same question regarding if Univ of AZ will accept recent BSN grads without much experience. Have any new grads been accepted into this program?
