    University of South Alabama MSN/BSN-DNP Psych NP 2012

    No, this is not related to the psych classes. It is a problem in the research class.

    University of South Alabama MSN/BSN-DNP Psych NP 2012

    I owe you a huge apology! You were right! This semester has turned out to be a flaming nightmare, so bad in fact that I am withdrawing tomorrow. I would post more about it, but I'm just not ready, I'm too hurt and too angry. My 4.0 and my money are g...

    Concerns on Chamberlain

    I graduated in 2010 from the RN-BSN completion program. Yes. I was accepted into the University of South Alabama and several other state and private school graduate programs. It was no problem. I loved Chamberlain and felt completely prepared for gr...

    Chamberlain College of nursing - graduation rate?

    Agreed. I graduated from chamberlain RN-BSN in 2010 and it was a great program. I'm doing my MSN-NP right now at another school and since Chamberlain is starting a DNP program soon, I hope to go back there to complete the DNP. I thought it was a grea...

    University of South Alabama MSN/BSN-DNP Psych NP 2012

    No, you do not get to review your individual exams. They do an exam review in some classes, they send a list of topics that students have missed on the exams. If more than 3 students miss a question it goes on the list for review. Some classes have n...

    University of South Alabama

    I have been in the program a full year and I have had a prompt response to every email. I have had to call graduate advising more than once to get a hold of someone, but even the graduate advisor is super nice. Yes, I feel I am learning. I do hear c...

    University of South Alabama MSN/BSN-DNP Psych NP 2012

    I have never received a response that was hateful or negative, the only thing I have seen them be unbending on is timing for exams. Access to the exams for review is an issue for many students, I know. My classmates go nuts about it too, maybe I'm ju...

    University of South Alabama MSN/BSN-DNP Psych NP 2012

    I'm in the psych NP program and I don't find them to be unsupportive. I have to say my experience has been good. They are not warm and fuzzy though, I'll give you that. It is an extremely self-directed program. Exams are tough and I'd agree sometimes...

    University of South Alabama

    I am in the Psych NP program at USA right now, started in August 2011. I love it. I really have no complaints. It is a very self-directed program, but the faculty have all been approachable and helpful and the Psych track coordinator is wonderful. I...

    I don't think I want to do FNP anymore?

    Patho can be tough. I think working full-time and trying to find time to study is really hard. Can you cut down your hours at work? I wouldn't judge the NP role from a patho class. Do you think you'd be happier with another advanced practice specialt...

    Hi everyone, Long time all nurses member here and I have run into a problem. I'm finishing up a roles paper in my NP program and it requires me to interview an NP. I have had 3 NPs back out on me due to just not being able to give me 5-10 minutes via...

    Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    I'm attending a distance program for PMHNP. Exams are monitored via camera that records sight and sound around the room, requires fingerprint and facial recognition verification every time, and no open book exams.

    Advanced Pathophysiology

    University of South Alabama has instituted proctored exams in their distance programs for just the reasons stated above.

    Do nurses get holidays off?

    It really depends on the job you have as a nurse. I worked holidays my first couple years but then I moved into positions that didn't require I work on holidays. I used to volunteer to work 11-7 the night before Thanksgiving or 11-7 Christmas eve so ...

    USA Fall 2011 MSN/FNP program

    I am taking health care policy. It is a lot of work. You need to be very self-directed, but I'm very happy with the program. Sue

    Congratulations!! :yeah:
  19. Yes, you can! Chamberlain in a wonderful program. I graduated in June of 2010 and am now in my second year of a NP program and Chamberlain completely prepared me for grad school. One course at a time is a excellent way to do it. It will change how yo...

    Online Post-Masters Family Mental Health Certificate

    I'm pretty sure UAB has one too. Arizona State University has one. I'm sure there are a few more but those are two I know of. Good luck!

    Have you tried any of the drug and alcohol rehabs in MA or RI? Even if they don't have a psychiatrist or psych NP on staff they generally contract with at least one to come in and do psych evals for their patients with co-occuring disorders. Maybe th...

    No Narc count????

    Carts need to be locked. The med room needs to be locked. I have worked with nurses who abused and stole everything from methadone to seroquel to benadryl...Do not trust anyone. Always count your narcs, always. NEVER give your keys to another nurse, ...

    Anyone heard from University of South Alabama?

    Have you called them? or checked your status online? You can call admissions and they will check your status. If a decision has been made, they will tell you what the decision is. You should call in case it was lost in the mail because all the paper...
