   COVID-19: NCLEX Changed!!

   kdowns07 replied to Clover123's topic in COVID

   To be fair, just because you have 30 seconds more per question doesn't necessarily mean it's easier. You either know the answer or you don't. Having that additional 30 seconds isn't going to change that. The only situation this would make it easier i...

   online FNP program no GRE for NC

   kdowns07 replied to eneali's topic in Advanced

   Oh and for direct entry master's programs, they also don't have to worry about it because even if they offer a combined accelerated RN with NP, you still will have to pass the NCLEX and become a licensed nurse before you can become an NP. You'll eith...

   online FNP program no GRE for NC

   kdowns07 replied to eneali's topic in Advanced

   I know this is an old post, but this reply seriously annoys me. When premed students have to earn a nursing degree and pass the NCLEX in order to continue onto graduate school (med school) then we can talk. Premed students have a basic understanding ...

   Bellarmine MSN FNP starting fall 2020

   kdowns07 replied to mnurse1995's topic in Post Graduate

   I ended up deciding on Bellarmine! Yay! LOL. I feel the same about MSN vs DNP and wanting to start working as an NP as soon as possible. It's been my goal from the start so this really makes sense. I, too, liked their preceptor placement. I have neve...

   Bellarmine MSN FNP starting fall 2020

   kdowns07 replied to mnurse1995's topic in Post Graduate

   I was so hoping someone would post on here! I received my acceptance here little over a week ago and have been sooo torn between this program and MUSC's DNP program. I haven't heard much about Bellarmine, but speaking with the staff it seems like a g...
