1. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

   dp133 replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

   That's ridiculous. I don't know where you are located and know that tuition rates vary but it seems like you could have done better. I did an ADN RN program for like 10K at a local state college and just completed 48 credit hour MSN program for less ...

   dp133 replied to LPC2RN's topic in Psychiatric

   I'm not going to join the debate but will only add, that I'm sorry LBC2RN had this experience. I'm going to assume this is an isolated event and just one of those horrible things that no one could predict and just went very wrong. I agree with Davey,...

4. Any information on the FNP program at the University of Tampa?

   dp133 replied to nursejl1's topic in NP Students

   Chilli - I'm heading into my last year of the FNP program at UT. Not sure what advice I can offer. It'snursing school, make it a priority and you'll be fine. Yes, the program is challenging but it's not "hard." It's nursing, not rocket science if you...

6. Bio Degree, then Nursing School?

   dp133 replied to msomig's topic in NP Students

   What state are you in? I ask, because there are some what they call "direct entry" MSN programs that will lead to nurse practitioner certification.(Ohio State Comes to mind) These programs allow you to begin graduate nursing education without being ...

7. Any information on the FNP program at the University of Tampa?

   dp133 replied to nursejl1's topic in NP Students

   I'm in my third semester of the FNP program and thus far things have been pretty good. They have a good reputation locally and have temporarily suspended the "oral boards" which many people found intimidating and a source of much stress. It’s a priva...
