    LindaJC replied to Mrskeene3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I graduated from the program in February 2022 and sat for boards in April. I am just finishing my DNP now. No issues finding work. Most of the professors were great! It was worth attending, yes. I...

    That's odd... I don't know who Antoinette is, but I am on the payment plan through the school. They just extended it. I did have student loans immediately after the first year. I haven't heard of...

    I've learned a few things since meeting you. I am afraid to ask for a preceptor site. I stepped out of my comfort zone today. I contacted someone who has been saying they would precept me and send me...

    That's not a shabby idea. I take back what I said about you being snarky. That wasn't a very nice thing for me to say. I do genuinely apologize. It's really been bothering me. This really is a great...

    That's rough. I'm sorry you're going through that. My daughter is disabled, so I understand. I wish there was more I could do to help.

    LindaJC replied to Mrskeene3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I read something, maybe a year ago about universities being required to supply preceptors. I don't know whatever happened to that. I only have one so far. I don't start until the end of June, but I'm...

    Well, I guess an assignment of being lazy is relative, right? Because I'm not lazy. I went door to door and delivered packets of my resume and information from the school. I also included pastries and...

    LindaJC replied to Mrskeene3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, but I've also heard of students at other universities who do place students with preceptors. The fine print, apparently, is that the preceptors can be out of state. That's hearsay, and I don't...

    they just told me to keep looking. I finally found someone. Mardel, who is my office of field experience person, told me to contact preceptor tree or something like that. I just have real misgivings...

    Hi All, I am falling completely flat looking for practicum sites in Colorado. I live in Woodland Park which is outside of Colorado Springs. I thought I had my first rotation covered in Pueblo,...

    LindaJC replied to Mrskeene3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would agree with that. There's a school in the state where I live that doesn't have the greatest reputation. For those attending the school from other states, there doesn't seem to be any

    I like the price of USU. I met someone at CTU the other day. She really likes it. I was looking at them. At the end of the day, USU is cheap and I'll pass the boards. ?

    Hi there, No, I'm not going to specialize in peds. I do love where I work. If I decide to specialize, I'll probably focus on psych. I have such a heart for that and we need it so badly....

    It's $375 per month for the first year. That doesn't cover the total cost. The send year, you have to get loans or however you plan on paying. I believe it's still $26,650 for tuition. I've never...

    No, there are no entrance exams. There's hardly an application process. Compared to the big names, like Vanderbilt and Georgetown it's nothing. It felt a little anticlimactic to get the approval...

    I try to watch for questions on this board but it's been a very busy couple of weeks. Not because of school. In any case, I'm wrapping up my third term with the United States University. I wanted the...

    I tried to double up on classes and was contacted and told I would be dropped from the second class I signed up for since it's not allowed. That was about five weeks

    Hi, I don't see your name or I would address you. In the end, I did not go with Herzing. I do believe it's a great program. I decided to save the money and go with USU. That said, like you, I believe...

    I'm in my second term at USU. As with most online schools, you have discussion posts, quizzes, and assignments. The first three classes are more review of BSN material I've been told. So far, that's...
