2. sacramento school help

   EstOyLista replied to will44's topic in Pre-Nursing

   does western career college require you to take outside courses like anatomy/phys ect or they offer it there too? My friend wants to go there since she hopes theirs less pre-reqs and classes but i havent found anything stating they do. also they tak...

3. What to do?!

   EstOyLista replied to EstOyLista's topic in General Nursing

   i meant as far as medical school, its only two more years. but yea, i realize i have some choices to make. most likely i will try and do some shadowing to get some first hand experience. as far as being hungry for a certain profession, im not quite...

4. What to do?!

   EstOyLista replied to EstOyLista's topic in General Nursing

   im definetly seeing the benefits of being able to change specialty areas as a NP, thats the main reason why I decided not to do physician assistant. The hrs, like I said above are a major issue, because id like to have a life outside the hospital. As...

5. What to do?!

   EstOyLista posted a topic in General Nursing

   im at the point in my life where I have to decide what it is I want to do. For the longest time I've wanted to be a nurse which turned into nurse practitioner, but now I'm thinking why not MD? The reasons that come to mind are the hours, the long hou...

   EstOyLista replied to jjjoy's topic in NP

   for pa and np programs where i live they only want college level algebra to get in, for most np programs they want stats also.

7. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

   EstOyLista replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral

   so assuming id be grandfathered in, eventually down the line wouldnt i have to get a DNP anyways? just like with those who got a certificate? If i have to look for another job that wants DNP (req) would that cause a problem? My hope for this (and fu...

8. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

   EstOyLista replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral

   so is this set in stone? that by 2015 NP will have to be DNP? I as because by 2013 or 2014 ill be done with a MSN and FNP and dont want to have to go back to school again for the dotorate, sure i might be grandfathered in but in the long run it might...

9. LVN or RN and more

   EstOyLista replied to Brandi8's topic in General Nursing

   In my opinon I would go the LVN to either RN to BSN. It will take some work but itll be faster. Alot of nursing programs are impacted so even though you finish your pre-reqs it could be about a 2 year wait just to get in. In the mean time you could b...

10. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    EstOyLista replied to jstuben's topic in NP

    what exactly is the difference between the "medical" model and the "nursing" model? From what I see, yes PAs and NPs apply for the same jobs so the difference in models dont seem to matter as much as the practitioner itself...perhaps its just a name ...

11. Need guidance RN-MSN/FNP

    EstOyLista replied to jewa's topic in NP

    I asked myself this too, usually I just search for NP jobs in my area (state) and a bunch of positions come up, so that helps ease the worrying. Health care jobs will always be needed so I wouldn't worry too much.

12. Sonoma State Np program

    EstOyLista replied to EstOyLista's topic in NP

    So you didnt have to do classes out side of (online or campus classes) to get your degree? I think I might do the RN to MSN route then take the certificate class at the university, which like you said, will be full time one year.

13. Sonoma State Np program

    EstOyLista posted a topic in NP

    I was deciding which would be the best (and cheapest) way of becoming a NP, either take RN-MSN at University of Phoenix and do what clinicals I have to do to get the MSN degree (I read you can't get the actual degree from UOP clincals ect. have to be...

14. I have to ask....

    EstOyLista posted a topic in General Nursing

    I pretty much know that nurses will draw blood, insert IV's, take vitals, administer meds....but beyond that side of it I'm not really sure what nurses do...particularly in an ER or OB dept. do they insert breathing tubes? I'm sure they do catheters....

15. The Wait

    EstOyLista posted a topic in General Students

    How long did you guys have to wait before you were accepted into the nursing program? What "hoops" did you have to jump through to be considered. And, is there anything (that you know of) to get in sooner (grades ect) My schoola supposed to have a 1...
