Hello, Is anyone working with the USPHS commissioned corps as a BSN nurse? Specifically in BOP? My school recently offered a partnership with the corps. Offering pay while I complete my degree (one year left) and secured job placement upon graduation with BOP. I am intrigued by the benefits but, it almost sounds too good to be true so, I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences they would like to share? I have done my research and plan to speak with a recruiter but I like to hear both sides. Also, during the BOP position could I be deployed if I am with the commissioned corps? I am confused about that.

Thank you. So I should not go from an FNP to a psych NP? The college that is the sister school to my nursing program only offers an FNP. Their graduate school is regionally accredited but my current program is only accredited nationally and by the CCNE. unfortunately ASU won't accept that so I was trying to find a loophole but, it looks as though I may have to just settle with the FNP. I don't want to add unnecessary time like you stated.

I have, all I was able to find was what was within scope of a BSN. it listed dermal injections and botox with an medical esthetician certificate however, limited info on the medspa aspect and supervision. thank you for your help

I am located in Arizona

what is the best path to go from FNP to Psych NP? and how long would it take? I've been told from several colleges it would just be a specialization certification but, after researching it looks like it may be more than that.. im confused. can someone perhaps shed some light on the best way to achieve this would be?

Hello, I've been trying to do some research about performing cosmetic procedures like lip injections, botox etc. As a BSN I read about getting certified through the nation laser institute to do these. once I get certified am I able to work in my own cosmetic practice? I have tried looking all over the web and cannot seem to find distinct information that indicates weather or not I can do them without a physician being present. I have been told in Arizona a nurse can without supervision but I see nothing to support these claims. Does anyone know?

Yes I am in the pre-licensure BSN. I hear if you do well in clinicals, hospitals may pick you for your last round of clinicals and hire you. I’m new to the field. Is it if you perform well within clinicals you succeed? I appreciate all your guidance by the way, you’ve been very helpful

So if I proceed with aspen, get my BSN do you think I’ll be able to get a job because I passed the Nlex or will they say the school isn’t regionally accredited therefore they won’t hire me? What I’m getting from your responses is they only care about your license once you graduate and the “BSN” after your name. I just want to make sure them not being regionally accredited won’t hinder my ability to find a job upon graduation. I asked aspen but they’re of course biased. I wanted a second opinion!

No I’m currently in their BSN program

Thank you so much for your response! In Arizona they are only nationally accredited. After my BSN I want to be a psych NP however major schools like ASU , NAU UofA and UofP will not acknowledge the credits even after I pass the NCLEX and have my BSN to further my education. This is what I was told upon calling all of these *regionally accredited (aspen is not). However, I was told Aspen has a sister school in California called the university of America and they are regionally accredited and accept all aspen students so I guess that helps my concern of not being able to further my education. I’m now worried about being able to find a job after my BSN while trying to obtain my NP. Will hospitals accept me and hire me even though Aspen isn’t nationally accredited? I feel like that is the most concerning now that I know their sister school is accredited regionally.

Can you put me in touch with grads? I currently go to aspen and I’m loosing faith. It would be nice to talk to someone who graduated and where they’re at now.

I have some questions. Are you graduated now? Was it hard to find a job because they’re not regionally accredited and what graduate school were you able to go to? I want my NP but many schools won’t acknowledge the degree from aspen. I already finished my pre req and I’m getting nervous because I’d have to retake everything if I try to get out of Aspen. I just want to be sure my degree will be acknowledged??

For the MSN what school accepted the BSN from aspen? I’m currently in their core and I want to get my NP degree however the lack of accreditation has scared me. I don’t want to be stuck at a BSN and if I leave I’ll have to start over since no where takes their credits.

I’m currently in the BSN program. The only issue people have been running into is getting any degree outside of the BSN because it’s not accredited regionally.
