Are all candidates required to take the Next Gen NCLEX exam? I.e. people who graduated in the years before this becomes live?

Is it possible to take the NP exam without having an RN license? if so what is the pathway to do so? Thanks!

This is great! What rate are they allowing you to bill at? 85% or more compared to the physician's rate? How many patients do you see on an average daily, and what kinds of treatment options are you offering?

How many years of work experience do you have to get to this level?

Can you all suggest if an FNP can work in any of the surgical specialities, if so how can one do so? Does it require any further certifications? If so, which ones? Does it require one go to back to school to get the Acute care NP certificatio...

What other duties do you perfrom btw? Thanks!

Can you please all put your suggestions regarding private practice rules....can an acute care NP open up a private practice in a state that allows a NP to do so. Have you seen acute care NP working in medicine speciality practices, I.e. cardiol...

Can anyone please tell me what are the eligibility requirments to take the NP boards after doing a program? Is there a time limit to take the boards by or can one take it even many years after graduation? Also, is there a limit on the number of...

Unfortunately, neither chapter readings or any supplemental material did not cover them in any adequate manner, hence more than 50% of the class would miss it many times. The curve was still not good enough to get a good grade, just pass with a B or...

A small tiny percentage - dependent on the class from what I have learn't. Majority would be get b or b+. Because say you 1 class 35 / 50 questions (topics) are covered in the class. The rest 15 is you don't know how to answer it? So if you get sa...

Well, there are some classes that are problematic - due to the teaching style. About 6-7 classes for sure. Unfortunately, it is the teacher's mood that heavily play's into how a class will be taught. Others seem somewhat OK to some degree......

If they are complying....they should be able to make changes, so that things are objectively and rationally looked into.

Can anyone complain higher up outside the school....the board of education perhaps to have someone come in (from outside) to look at thinks objectively? One should not be at the mercy of bad teachers....bad schools.

Well, the school has the responsibility with whatever fee agreement that is in place - free, partial or full cost to provide quality instructors that will provide a good instruction so that one has the proper opportunity to succeed in the class. Hav...

Thanks....unfortunately....the professors just want to get rid of you. And one hopes that more will join the movement. But fear of being written up, and then thrown out of the program (retaliation) is common which one learns overtime....no matter ho...

I feel that everyone....no matter how small the number of people.....whose opinions should be looked into seriously. As he/she or they did not get the support needed when problems occured. They in my opinion offer the true picture of what the teach...

What are some typical interview questions? What are the harder questions? ....that are asked in the interview. please do share your experiences.

Can you please put your suggestions for any or all of the following: 1, Is it possible to get a fellowship after having practiced as an NP for sometime? 2. If the fellowship is not accredited by the nation councial for NP's that over lo...

Perhaps if there is an internal review of the professor/s at the school....like the annual survey results which you may have to find a way to access could be a good thing as well...but rate my professors can be useful.

I am so happy you can say that....because inspite of having this in place....there are a good number of classes where I have had my share of extremely bad teachers (overall). And it is a sad reality many of the students have had to deal with. Wish ...

After all this discussion.....and there could be better ideas....as I have suffered and am suffering in my program due to their grading and appeals policy that is not properly followed (because firstly they don't want to entertain any appeals....and ...

You don't ike it?

But you do have the privileges of working in the ICU even though acute care may be the way in the future?

Can you work as a hospitalist as well? And ICU's?

How does one deal with such people? circumstances? when the system is biased (they want to collude against you)? Are there any outside agencies or other means one can appeal to for help? This is unfortunately wrong, and injustice....when you are pa...
