   Hello. I am very interested in the Duke PMHNP program and am interested in enrolling. I was wondering if you had any insights/observations. Thanks.

2. Tips for Passing NCLEX-PN?

   Rural NP replied to futurenursemae's topic in NCLEX

   Hang in there. I also flunked on my first try, but passed on my second try, at 75 questions. I also was a little embarrassed after my first attempt, as my classmates, family and friends think of me as academically talented and assumed I would pass. U...

   Rural NP replied to Tifany Lam's topic in Share Tips

   One more thing: on Youtube, SarahRegisteredNurseRN has many short, clear lectures on a variety of topics. I highly recommend them. I watched dozens of them.

4. NCLEX Prep

   Rural NP replied to Tifany Lam's topic in Share Tips

   I wish you well on your preparations. I just passed the NCLEX, in 75 questions, on the second attempt. On my first attempt, I failed in 145 questions. I used the Mark Klimek lectures and UWorld on the first attempt, and the same two resources plus Ar...

5. George Mason University ABSN Fall 2021

   Rural NP replied to hopefulhoots's topic in School Programs

   I graduated with the Fall 2020 ABSN cohort in August 2021. I had also been accepted in the GWU ABSN program. I am glad I chose GMU over GWU. GMU is a huge cost savings, especially for VA residents. And GMU is a 12-month program as compared to 15 mont...

6. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

   Rural NP replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in NP

   I agree that state income taxation rules are complicated and that it is wise to get advice from a tax accountant or tax lawyer. I would be particularly leery about relying on a one year rule, as I am not aware of any state that has such a rule. In fa...

7. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

   Rural NP replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in NP

   Hello. Interesting post. But can you please elaborate on your statement that "legally, you can't continue to be a travel nurse in the same region for longer than a year." To what law are you referring? Also, why would the IRS care where you work, as ...

   Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am a new NP student, in a combined MSN/DNP program. I plan to deliver primary care in an underserved rural community where I have some ties. In addition, after I graduate in four years, I may want to look i...

   Typo: I meant to say residency, not internship

10. Importance of NP Grades

    Rural NP posted a topic in NP

    So I am curious how important, if at all, NP school grades are? I assume that they have some importance for NPs that want to get into a competitive DNP program. And also for DNP graduates that want to pursue tenure track appointments in academia. But...

11. Johns Hopkins DNP FNP Fall 2021

    Rural NP replied to ladyjustice27's topic in NP Students

    Interesting. Do you have any theories as to why you would be waitlisted at Maryland and accepted at JHU? I realize that Maryland has a very good reputation but if I am not mistaken, has a much larger program. It also requires in-person attendance on...

    Rural NP posted a topic in School Programs

    Hello, I just posted this question in the Specialities section, but then realized that it may be more applicable here. I have researched both of these programs pretty thoroughly, using their websites and email questions with the respective admis...

    Hello, I have researched both of these programs pretty thoroughly, using their websites and email questions with the respective admissions offices. Both offer distance-based DNP--Family Practice programs, with periodic on-campus visits. Tuition is al...

15. Johns Hopkins DNP FNP Fall 2021

    Rural NP replied to ladyjustice27's topic in NP Students

    Hello all, Does anyone know how many students JHU admits for the FNP DNP each year, and whether they will expand the number this year? And are they evenly split between 3 year and 4 year? By the way, I was recently interviewed. Admissions ...
