1. Feeling overwhelmed

   Miffy posted a topic in NP Students

   Hey everyone, I just came on to vent a little bit, and see if other people are feeling the same way. I'm currently nearing the end of my second to last semester of NP school and find it very hard just getting through. Commute to clinical is an hour t...

2. Regis FNP, PNP online

   Miffy replied to Kaligirl02's topic in NP Students

   As a current Regis student, I would highly encourage that you look elsewhere. They are also just piloting the online program, and I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig for that, given how disorganized Regis is at baseline. I am almost done with the FN...

3. What do you wear to work as a school nurse?

   Miffy replied to verdeacres's topic in School

   I currently have a preceptorship experience in a school clinic, and my preceptor and I wear business casual. At a clinical placement I previously had during undergrad, the school nurse also wore business casual.

4. RN-NP with a non nursing bachelor

   Miffy replied to vitiana's topic in Massachusetts

   I really wouldn't recommend Regis College. As BostonFNP stated, BC, MGHIHP, and Simmons are all top tier schools who provide an excellent education.

5. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

   Miffy replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

   I used to have a similar attitude until a recent health issue caused me to gain a substantial amount of weight. Despite eating healthy and working out 5 times a week, I am overweight. I used to look at people who were overweight and assume that they ...

6. 4 year vs 2 year

   Miffy replied to Unseenchanges's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This is definitely dependent on your area. I know in the area I live in, most hospitals are requiring a BSN for new hires (I live in large metro area in the Northeast). If you don't mind working outside of the hospital setting (such as an LTC setting...

7. NCLEX before graduation?

   Miffy replied to Rew3n's topic in Tennessee

   I'm actually in an accelerated NP program and we took our NCLEX after finishing our fourth semester, even though we are only awarded the BSN after completion of the fifth semester.

8. Schools in MA that find preceptors for you

   Miffy replied to Miffy's topic in NP Students

   I will go ahead and send you a private message. :)

9. Exploring Options

   Miffy replied to Keepinitsimple's topic in California

   I would really suggest getting an RN. An LVN has a more limited scope of practice, and you will find far more opportunities as an RN as opposed to an LVN.

10. NPs in Phoenix

    Miffy replied to Miffy's topic in Arizona

    Thank you both very much for your input! I am still a ways out from graduating, but I will definitely take this into consideration. I figured it might be a "who you know" type of situation, unfortunately. I visited Phoenix last month and I loved the ...

11. So who went to PA school

    Miffy replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in NP Students

    So even though I am currently In NP school, I would strongly encourage you to go to PA school. I'm currently writing a research proposal for my nursing research class, and doing a concept analysis for my nursing theory class. -__- I feel that both of...

12. Regis Direct Entry NP Fall 2016

    Miffy replied to rah07001's topic in Massachusetts

    Hey yo_yosh1! It appears you are right! They used to charge full tuition per semester but starting next year will be charging based on credits taken. The cost per credit hour is now posted on the website. Lucky for you, this will probably save you a ...

13. Regis Direct Entry NP Fall 2016

    Miffy replied to rah07001's topic in Massachusetts

    I would hate to see you make a decision based on incorrect information given to you. GM students are charged the regular tuition rate for the fall and spring semester, and are charged by credit hours in the summer. The tuition goes up by about 1,000 ...

14. NPs in Phoenix

    Miffy posted a topic in Arizona

    I currently live in the Northeast and will be finishing up my FNP in May of next year. I was wondering what the outlook was for new grad NPs in the Phoenix area at this time. I would really like to move to a warmer climate and experience a new city. ...

15. Regis Direct Entry NP Fall 2016

    Miffy replied to rah07001's topic in Massachusetts

    If I recall correctly, I think I ended up getting my letter at the beginning of March, but it was through the mail so I don't remember exactly how long it was between the interview and the letter I received. Do not worry about having outstanding prer...
