I don't know if this point has been brought up as I just read the "last" page of this thread, but scwolf, my school no longer has just a MSN program so I am in the DNP program. They give us the...

Kevin Ross, can you please describe your business? Thanks!

I live in FL and everyone I know who's graduated found a job easily. Look at indeed.com to get a feel for it.

Oh dear! You do realize you posted this in a NP forum, right? And you're a NURSE who's thinking about becoming a (gasp) lowly NP? Yikes. I'm trying hard not to take offense to this post. Maybe some...

I live in Fl also and have had to work thru hurricanes. Believe me, it's AWFUL. I've been on both teams. It was pretty much one of the worst experiences of my life. Let's see...we had no water and no...

Sorry, have to play devil's advocate from someone who is 100% pro choice. It's not your place to judge her. Whether you like it or not, people have abortions every day for all sorts of reasons. And...

Chuckster, trust me, if those of us who have student loans *could* get by without them we WOULD. Unfortunately, lots of people don't have that kind of disposable income to pay for school. Hence, the...

I don't blame you for being angry. If you didn't need a referral it would have been a moot point, you could have just gone to UC. But unfortunately he has the CYA mentality. And yes, I agree that he...

Hello! Yep, I had baby #2 my first semester of FNP school and will be having #3 at the end of my 2nd to last semester. I am fortunate in that I am not working (I go to school FT and have accumulated...

Hmmmm...free would definately make me think more about it. But if I'm getting a free education, I'd probably enroll in a post-master's program that actually could get me a different job/pay...

1. In your area are the nursing schools transitioning the NP from an MSN to a required DNP? Yes; my school "got rid" of the MSN a couple years ago, requiring everybody to enter as a DNP candidate....

Under normal circumstances I would say work as a RN first, but since you already know what you want to do and have worked in the field, I would look into direct entry programs and once you get your...

Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their fb 'professional'? Does anyone? What people post on their fb pages is THEIR business. Whether or not they keep them public or private is again, their...

I agree with the suggestion about getting your FNP then a post master's in psych...as a matter of fact, that's my own plan! Good luck in your decision.

Yep, I agree with that. Sure there will be more opportunities, but will we be working for peanuts? I'm in Fl too and unless the FMA backs off their bulldogs and allows us to be more autonomous it's...

Unless it's an Ivy League school and having a diploma from such a school matters to you, I wouldn't do it. I attend a state university and I am swimming in debt already. I shudder to think about...

Excuse me for laughing, but this post is Hilarious!! I can't wait to read more! A chip! hahahahahhahahaha!! Thank you so much for making my day!!!

I'm in NP school now, just finished my first semester of clinicals. I agree with the above posters who said the stress really comes from time management as opposed to the difficulty in courses. I'm...

Definately the NP job IMO. My friend is an administrator of a hospital nursing unit and guess what she's doing? She's in NP school right along with me. Use the skills and knowledge you worked so hard...

National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties: Consensus Model for APRN Regulation If you look here, you can see what the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties has to say...

I'm taking peds now and my preceptor makes about $65k in the south. I've heard it's one of the lowest payed, even for physicians! :(

I'm aware of the guideline change. Sure, catheterizing an infant/toddler may be a horrible experience for all involved, but I'm confident that getting a reliable sample and being able to treat...

So Zenman can you get credentialed with a post-master's certificate or do you have to have your degree in it??

Please forgive me for jumping on your post, but I have a psych question as well...can you sit for the certification exam if you have a FNP plus a psych post-master's certificate? And btw OP, no...

Can you please give your location in Florida?
