I took stats along with pharmacology and I think...patho. It was full load. It was not fun. A foreign language actually. Its nothing like undergrad stats that we were required to take. Let me know if...

Agree...they are not usually compensated. Usually they are "paying it forward" or love to teach and know our field needs it.

DNP may be required in 2015. But even if you chose MSN/NP you would be grandfathered in if you are enrolled now.

Lori, Is funny you mention age in a negative way. I became a RN at 22 and will be a FNP at 26. My mother got her RN a year before me. Patient's assume she has tons of experience because of her...

To answer your question: NO, you do not have to have your BSN initially (ADN fine), but your MSN program will be longer to award you a BSN too or the equivilant. These are the RN-MSN programs. Again,...

I just began my last year (11 months and counting) and they recommended one of Fitzgeralds certification review books. Its hard to find time to study for a test thats taking place in over a year when...

I am beginning my last year in my FNP program and have decided to relocated back to my home town (3.5hrs away) in order to be with a NP preceptor instead of a MD or DO in the town I'm currently in....

I know in Texas if you are enrolled in an MSN program at time of your RN licensure renewal the program counts as your CE's.

I began looking for a preceptor in July when I didn't need one until January. Preceptors commit early. You could def. start now. Even if you don't think you are going to have an issue, I'd get one in...

Apparently that RNFA "program" just gives you a certificate because it only requires 140 hours or something...I inquired about it and this is what I was told via email... "The APRN RNFA program is...

I took Adv Pharm, Adv patho, and Nursing theory last semester. If you are working on it FULL time, like you say - you will be fine!! Of course its challenging, if it weren't, everyone would do it! It...

Bad fonting - sorry

i have looked into this program. a couple things i found out when reading the details that are extremely important to know before making a commitment are: nhsc lrp applicants...

I attend. About to begin my last year. Pro's are that its online and you can still work, but you must be extremely determined and dedicated. If you choose to attend full time you can complete in two...

No DNP requirements at this time though there is talk of it in the future (2015) for NP. With your BSN and some experience, you can apply directly to a MSN-NP program. Good luck!

I've never heard of a school telling you who to get professional recommendations from! Mine were from my advisor, my director of nursing, a podiatrist, and just a RN co-worker. Seemed to do the...

An antidepressant is not going to show up on a drug test. An amphetamine like adderol will. You will be fine.

If I were you, I'd go RN-MSN. My opinion. No telling how much of your current bachelor's will speed up your program. The reason RN-MSN takes so long is because they make you go back and take all...

I agree. I've never had an employer care where my BSN was from (private university). I'm working on my FNP now which is online mostly...its accredited, I'll pass my boards, and I'll be competent....

I am unsure as well. I know there is talk of the FNP degree becoming a DNP instead of a Master's by 2015, but I don't think anything is official. Those who are FNP's with their master's degree will...

The fact of it is, I believe more programs make you find your own preceptors than not. I was a little confused cause you mentioned you are starting the NP program in the fall but that you're not a...

I just purchased a Macbook air 11". It is amazing. Light enough to carry around and even take in a patient's room, pull up EMR, and do their history as you go. Typing is difficult on the iPad, would...

Right before beginning my program I asked my advisor the same question. My plan was to complete the program as fast as I possibly could (2 years). I asked her if I could still work full-time and she...

I have not heard of a MSN program accepting non-RN's. I think you would have to do a fast track RN program (since you hold your bachelor's already), take the NCLEX and become a licensed RN and then...

I know one student who used PTO for her clinical days (she works m-f), but knew eventually she would have to go PRN towards the end of the program when the clinical hours are heavy. Not sure how you...
