Hello, Quick question - Does anyone know about Broadview's night school RN program? I'm particularly interested in the schedule as I have a day job that I can't change. Secondly, their...

If one were to attend an ADN program at a 'trade school' as opposed to a CC or 4 year univsersity/college, are you shooting yourself in the foot when considering NP school? For example, there are...

Does anyone know of RN programs geared towards working folks? I've seen a few ADN programs that advertise they cater to working people with night classes, ect. FWIW, I live in Arizona and have...

Hypothetically, if someone wanted to be a FNP, would entering into a general/family private practice as a RN serve well? I would think that someone wanting to practice family health care would...

FWIW, I spoke with a FNP student just finishing up at UOP who had great things to say about the program.

Katie (or anyone), do you know what the class structure is like? Day, night, weekends, etc?

Does anyone know anything about University of Phoenix FNP program? I know that most UoP's programs are geared towards 'working adults'. I'd love to hear anyone's comments on the school and...

I get the impression that a fairly common sentiment amongst NPs (on this site) is they're very uncertain about their skills or abilities. It's actually concerning to read. I understand a NP is not a...

I know this has probably been beat to death but I know of a few programs that require no experience prior to their DNP/NP program. Is the DNP geared at maybe providing the clinicals in a specific...

In my state, Arizona, NPs can practice independently of physicians. Not that any good healthcare provider doesn't consult with their colleagues, but the law as I understand it, allows NPs to be sole...

Can anyone please exmplain the primary differences between ANP and FNP? Are ANPs usually found in hospitals as oppsed to FNPs? Does one deal more with acute care as opposed to primary care?

Not so. DOs practice every medical specialty in numbers. The idea that most DOs go into primary care in antiquated. My father is a neurologist and a DO so I hear about this all the time.

I currently live in Arizona where NPs apparently don't require any collaboration with a physician and can practice solo. Would a FNP in private, family typically be able to admit a patient to a...

Thanks for the insight. I hear FNPs have a difficult time getting into hospitals. What's the reason behind this? I know plenty of GPs that work in hospitals, admit patients, etc. In my state,...

I've read stories about NPs in the early 90s being charged with 'practicing medicine without a license'. So my question is, do NPs practice nursing, medicine or both?

Could an ACPNP still work in a primary pediatric practice?

It seems like ACNPs can work in family practice as well as acute care settings (from some job postings I've seen) whereas a FNP is somewhat limited to a family practice setting (I understand there...

Anyone want to give me the skinny on what a ACNP does? ED? Urgent Care? Age range of pts.? Peds? Thanks!

Would a PNP be operating outside their scope if they called in a Rx for someone over 21? Either way, a PNP or FNP both have a DEA number so how would a pharmacy put the screws to a PNP Rx'ing for...

Total hypothetical here - Often a physician will call in an antibiotic for a family member, sometimes across state lines. Would a NP in Arizona for instance, be able to call in a Rx for their...

What about a school that has the proper accreditation status as an actual school but only has state accreditation for nursing?

What about schools that are accredited by a stage BON rather than one of the national bodies?

Does anyone have any good online resources for practice tests with the HESI exam?

What kind of annual earnings 'could' a new RN expect? Would one department pay better than the other?

In the family setting, a NP sees a skin condition that will require a biopsy. Will they perform such a surgical procedure? In general, do NPs get training in suturing, biopsy, and other...
