  1. Totally online FNP program: no campus orientation

    JALEXSHOE replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I attend the University of South Alabama's Online Program. It is true we have a clinical attendance component at the beginning of the 4th semester, lasting a few days, so they can do some hands on...

  2. Can NPS write prescriptions for themselves and Family?

    JALEXSHOE replied to diapason05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Honestly, I think the issue you debate is clarified by the fact that there was a patient/provider relationship with an actual chart, assessment, testing, and treatment plan documented. In Florida,...

  3. How much notice when you quit a job as an APN???

    JALEXSHOE replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You will see, it will all work out for best. I am sure, everything will be fine. I have always seen you to be positive and professional, and I am sure that if your writings communicate this, then it...

  4. Any experience/opinion with University of South Alabama MSN?

    JALEXSHOE replied to amberfnp's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It was a typing error, I have 8 semesters. I believe there is an entry that is 6, can't remember which. I would go for the lightest course load myself. Like I said before, this is work. Good luck to...

  5. How about a relevant, informative thread for once!!

    JALEXSHOE replied to SteveNNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Are you stressed? I know I am. I am studying harder than I have ever studied in my life. For the first time, I am actually reading the books. I can, no longer, walk in, smile, and get an A on the...

  6. Any experience/opinion with University of South Alabama MSN?

    JALEXSHOE replied to amberfnp's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The bookstore is very friendly and helpful. As far as specifics with attendance requirements, I would state it is better coming from the horse's mouth. I don't want to misinform you. I know there are...

  7. Any experience/opinion with University of South Alabama MSN?

    JALEXSHOE replied to amberfnp's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am in the FNP program. If you look on the web site, and click on all the links, you will find the information. There is a lot of it there, you just have to look for it....

  8. Any experience/opinion with University of South Alabama MSN?

    JALEXSHOE replied to amberfnp's topic in Post Graduate Students

    anyways, i have seen on the website the curriculum plans. do you know if you can alter them at all? for example, if it recommends 3 classes but you felt you could only do 2, would they allow that?...

  9. Any experience/opinion with University of South Alabama MSN?

    JALEXSHOE replied to amberfnp's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I recommend it. I am attending it. But I will tell you it is a self-starter kind of program. Not a lot of hand holding... But if you are a self-motivated and organized individual with good study...

  10. Is psychiatric nursing for me?

    JALEXSHOE replied to veggiemom's topic in Psychiatric

    I must confess, I know very little about psychiatric nurses, their roles, or their scope of practice. I did try to look up some links that discussed or described them for you. But, no worries,...

  11. Discouraged over the "last 60/90 degree units" policies

    JALEXSHOE replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Life is known to throw us curve balls. It is very hard to see the positive when one is feeling so beat up. It sometimes help me, to think of old fashioned sayings to get my dander up and make things...

  12. PICC line certification

    JALEXSHOE replied to a.m.r.n.'s topic in Florida Nursing

    It's been ages, so things may have changed. The hospital I worked at used to certify nurses to do this in the ICU. I know some hospitals still do in the oncology areas. It is a relatively easy thing...

  13. Full time NP position requires you to cover RN duties at times?

    JALEXSHOE replied to DucatiNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, I agree. I wouldn't be adverse to helping out (I will always be a nurse), but I do worry that they put you in an unfair situation if they are having you work on a level where your license and...

  14. Outlook for ACNP and CNL

    JALEXSHOE replied to emab's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in Florida. Know that the legislature is not our friend. They have yet to give us full prescriptive powers and, in fact, just passed a law that we cannot pronounce a person dead or sign a...

  15. Full time NP position requires you to cover RN duties at times?

    JALEXSHOE replied to DucatiNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is a tough one. I will give you the best advice I can come up with off the top of my head. Know that it is JUST advice and worth exactly what you paid for it, which is most likely nothing, lol....

  16. Advice Needed!

    JALEXSHOE replied to utexas08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, again this is conjecture, if you are on good terms with the TA and he will be the one writing it, then I would think that would be fine. The interesting thing about applications and admission...

  17. Advice Needed!

    JALEXSHOE replied to utexas08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do you work in the field of nursing? Do you know anyone who does? Does the school you are applying to insist on references being from instructors? While I do not feel the letter as acutely as you...

  18. Rn-msn

    JALEXSHOE replied to ashleyjean3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I do not have particular experience, but can give some general experience perhaps... How hard school will be will be dependent on you. It will also be important how you approach study, how much you...

  19. MSN online Schools

    JALEXSHOE replied to rellco40's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If I understand it correctly... They have a list of clinical affiliation sites on their web site. You are welcome to find your own. But they have to submit forms (also on their web site) and be...

  20. Online NP schools and cost

    JALEXSHOE replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Post Graduate Students

    http://usaonline.southalabama.edu/index.real?action=financial&subaction=tuitionfees I always say go straight to the source... This is USA's tuition

  21. FNP program equipment

    JALEXSHOE replied to RN97MSN10's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You might want to try a local uniform shop. They may be able to help you order some of the things you are looking for, they might even have some of those things there. Of course, there is ebay or a...

  22. MSN online Schools

    JALEXSHOE replied to rellco40's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have a friend in Frontier, she loves it. The people I talked to were great. In the end, I decided to not attend there because they had a requirement of an ARNP preceptor for 80 percent of your...

  23. Do you think I have a chance?

    JALEXSHOE replied to squirt28's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The thing about hope is that one must try in order to fulfill its requirements. If I had not done things in my life that so many before me had said to not do ( I am not talking about the bad things...

  24. NAI descent: Roll Call

    JALEXSHOE replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I am 1/4 Mohawk (maternal). The Native Americans in my line that were female all seemed to gravitate to

  25. Why NP and not PA?

    JALEXSHOE replied to GirloftheSun's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So much good advice has already been given. One thing I could add would be that you mention, if I understand it correctly, that while you like to teach or delegate, that you do not enjoy the bedside...
