1. Reputation of online APN programs

   cherryames31 replied to Vavavictoria's topic in NP

   I agree to that online isn't going to be a time saver per se, albeit it increases your flexibility. But it's going to be impossible if you work full-time and go to school full time and have a family. It's really recommended that you either work fu...

2. Cheap online MSN / FNP programs

   cherryames31 replied to RNbrent's topic in NP Students

   Check out Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing. I just got back from my orientation, met all the faculty, and know that they do care about our success. They are approximately 30-34000 depending on FT vs. PT status.

7. NP's and career flexibility?

   cherryames31 posted a topic in NP

   So I've been thinking a lot about going for my NP. My 4 years of experience is all in pediatrics so I'm leaning toward PNP, although FNP is definitely a possibility. I've never done primary care before, all my experience has been acute care/intensi...

   cherryames31 replied to NursKris82's topic in PICU
