    WildcatFanRN replied to isakiel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Letters of recommendation

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I tried to get another academic one, but she declined. I'm wondering if I can get in contact with my states NP and NM coalition? Or, if just cold calling will work. My employer's workforce...

    Letters of recommendation

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Even a faculty member from your online program can write one I think, especially one you had several times. I've sent emails to my manager and assistant nurse manager and no response yet. I have one...

    That all important goal statement

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Each school I'm applying to has their pluses and minuses. Personally I think campus visits, at least the one prior to clinicals is a plus. Only one program I've researched actually has available to...

    Frontier Nursing University

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Good point, I think they would prefer some of your references be from a FNP. I don't really know any other than one I see at work on occasion or who I see at my husbands dr's office. I'm wondering...

    Thanks. I'm in the process of gathering all my undergrad transcripts, and then I need to get all my references. I know they prefer NP's or at least MSN references, but heck my NM doesn't have his MSN...

    Frontier Nursing University

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks. During clinical bound do students practice on each other or use simulators? Reason I ask is because I heard a rumor that this is the case, and rather than believe it I'd rather ask someone...

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I spoke to the admissions rep at Graceland yesterday and asked several questions. I have to find my own preceptors, just like every program I've researched. Once preceptors are found, they help...

    Online NP schools

    WildcatFanRN replied to nightnurse279's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Frontier Nursing University is online and from what I found out after I called, they will assist if your having trouble. But once enrolled you have access to their preceptor database. Graceland...

    WildcatFanRN replied to rnmindy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was debating whether to even respond to this thread. I too was wondering the difference in training in PNP and FNP. But if what I've read on here is true there isn't a difference despite research...

    Deciding on a NP program

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm wondering if the new NP I was talking to meant that FNP can't work IN the hospital as a NP. As a PCP they would of course be giving telephone orders when they are on call. At my facility the...

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks, I don't know why the campus visits worry me so much. It's much worse for those who are out of state. I just don't know how supportive my employer will be needing to take the time off. We...
