1. EKU Psych NP program

   Buggysmom replied to eaorn112's topic in NP Students

   Hi Allison, I did not work full time while going to EKU's PMHNP Program. However, it is do-able as many of my colleagues did. The last semester of clinical scan get tricky as you need a lot of hours. Others used PTO to do clinical or vacation time so...

2. EKU online FNP program

   Buggysmom replied to misty_dawn's topic in NP Students

   No, I'm not doing a post masters. I'm doing an actual master's program. I'm doing Psych NP (PMHNP). I posted about the program above. I really like my program.

3. EKU online FNP program

   Buggysmom replied to misty_dawn's topic in NP Students

   Hi! I am graduating in May. I have really liked the program. I have friends at other schools and I'm shocked at the lack of interaction they have with professors...They get an assignment---read articles or the book and turn a paper in. No interaction...

4. EKU online FNP program

   Buggysmom replied to misty_dawn's topic in NP Students

   Sure. You'll do great! I can honestly say I've been happy with EKU. Especially, after some of my friends stories from their NP school. EKU is waaaay more organized & involved. I feel that the professors know us as if we were in the brick & mo...

5. EKU online FNP program

   Buggysmom replied to misty_dawn's topic in NP Students

   I am in the PMHNP program. So, I'm only going on what the FNP students say and they LOVE it. The woman that teaches all the FNP classes, taught our Pharmacology class and she is AMAZING! She's kind, sweet, smart, and so encouraging. She's organized a...

6. PMHNP- Drexel or EKU

   Buggysmom replied to Chocolate_RN85's topic in NP Students

   No visits for EKU...I liked that, too...It wouldn't have bothered me to do campus site visits though. Not sure what you mean by asynchronous coursework--I think of that as more like logging in live at the same time as a live class at the brick and mo...

7. PMHNP- Drexel or EKU

   Buggysmom replied to Chocolate_RN85's topic in NP Students

   Well, EKU has 100% pass rate on ANCC for the past 7 years or so....Also, it is ranked #18 in online Graduate Nursing programs by US News and World Report... It beat Georgetown, Drexel, Vanderbilt by a landslide....and many more...You need to be a goo...

8. Spring 2016 EKU PMHNP students

   Buggysmom replied to Vegan_RN's topic in NP Students

   Hi Vegan RN BSN! I am at EKU, started January 2015. I really like it! I'm getting ready to start my clinicals. I like the professors (we have had wonderful professors--all but maybe one grump) a lot. We have had super nice, caring, supportive, and a...

    Buggysmom replied to RainieRN's topic in Doctoral

    How is going now? How was it doubling up on Research Project and Patho?

11. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    Buggysmom replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    Totally appropriate for the instructor to send that. We were lined up and our instructor would smell our breath--because "No patient should have to smell your coffee breath"....We had one that carried white shoe polish if our shoes weren't clean...A...

12. IV starts in nursing schools

    Buggysmom replied to DaynaPierceMorgan's topic in General Nursing

    I went to an old fashioned hospital nursing school in Boston & BSN in Boston. We did not do IV starts. We had 24 hr IV teams (and a lot of them) in all the hospitals and most units had physician interns/residents right there 24/7. It actually ...

13. Ut Arlington fnp online program

    Buggysmom replied to steffijack's topic in Texas (UTA)

    Ugh! That's what happened with me for the on site program. Except I have to wait until next September 2015 and it's still not guaranteed. At least they have many start dates for the online program. I'm almost done with my app for another school for...

    Okay, Mclennan, I am dying laughing! That is the funniest post I've seen today!!! I'd hate to see what contests the nurses have in a GI clinic....

    Buggysmom replied to steffijack's topic in Texas (UTA)

    MyMav was not updated for days after I got notification. Actually, myMav said they still wanted a transcript 2 months after they received it. Try sending Mary Schira an email and Rose Olivier. Tamara seemed to respond as well. It did take a few days....
