My brother used his. Many schools (esp private) arent yellow ribbon or only match a small amount. You need to talk to the VA rep and financial aid dept with whatever school you get into. Apply for FAFSA as per usual For my NP Program I used my GI bill, the VA has handy calc for each school to estimate cost

Go to an in-person school, reduce your hours and immerse yourself in your future career. It's absolutely ridiculous that NP programs push out providers from all online schools who continue to work full-time. Really speaks to the rigor of the education...

See I am just not. This have-it-your-way sort of education style speaks volumes about the education quality. Yes, it's 2023 and a lot of classes can be done online, but when comparing NP education to my brother's CRNA program (he had to move from the West to East Coast and uproot his life) it's not even close. I think we all would agree that an online and pick-your-own-preceptor CRNA school would be horrifying. However, NPs make life-altering decisions too and patients should not be subjected to providers who took the convenient path to a script pad. I don't want someone who just made it work with part-time online schooling and scrounged whatever trash hours they could from friends and acquaintances to graduate, treat me. Not everyone was meant to be a provider but the nursing powers are going to do their best to make it happen.

Anytime someone speaks out against things like this they get accused of being pessimistic, too negative or even gatekeeping. Not EVERYONE was meant to be a provider. With 90% acceptance rates even at big-name schools with little to no clinical oversight (and ridiculous hand-waving clinical experiences) as you describe, it makes us look pathetic. People will defend their shoddy education till the end because how else could a single parent working full time and unable to move complete their clinical doctorate right? They all deserve to be a provider right? By any means necessary. Name ONE medical or medical adjacent profession which acts as NP diploma mills do.

Sent you a PM

LOL

Frontier is a well-known program. Keep in mind you will likely need to find your own clinicals for most online programs. Whereabouts in CHI?

No, this is a grievous error on all counts that shows she doesn't have the capabilities to safely practice. Also, after all of this, why would you want to in all honesty?

From the information you provided, no. I would switch floors or look into travel nursing gigs (tons of resources out there).

I hope they train you well, being a hospitalist has an extremely high learning curve. Each hospital tailors their APP's independence at various levels. Being a nocturnist could mean doing admission,s pager calls or rapid responses. They might hand you softballs or not. At my place we functioned at the highest level of our license and did exactly what MDs did, but we also were ALL residency trained. The salary is okay, I started a decent amount above that, but as I said I did a fellowship. When compared with RN salaries nowadays, NPs salaries are pretty terrible. CRNA salaries are often double a NPs salary too.

Hospital

Generally, there is a service obligation incurred. We had to pay back part of our salary if we didn't stay after residency for a certain time period. Residents are getting trained, paid and can leave to make 300k+ right after LOL Man, I wish it was lighter. We were doing 80+ hour weeks with the residents plus didactics. We didn't bill for 3/4 of the year, the attending did after their addendum.

I don't think that will likely happen. Either GME money would have to skyrocket or residency allotments would get slashed. They would also have to bill and not just have their attendings do it with the identifier.

That's what bothers me, its entitlement and hubris. Obviously, you aren't in the life position to take on such an undertaking, but you'll find a way to shoehorn getting that "white coat" by any means necessary. Do you think med students love to move across the country and drop their lives to study? Do you think they like they putting everything on hold to sink 8+ years into forging themselves as a provider? Yeah, I am sure your 1 class part-time, all online, 500 hour program with 100% acceptance rate is jUst aS goDd.

1. Offer online only curriculum with no (maybe 1 ) campus visits 2. Have ridiculously low admissions standards 3. Accept as many students as possible 4. Lazyily use discussion boards, reused lectures and YouTube videos as "teaching" materials 5. Make students find their own preceptors and essentially facilitate their own education 6. Reinforce the bare minimum clinical hours because RN experience is jUSt aS gOoD 7. Profit????
