Hi, I did apply to 2 programs in AR. I'm now in my 2nd semester at UAMS and I really like it. No problem getting in but had to take GRE. Also not sure about WGU's pass/ fail . My GPA was about 3.2 before , and after WGU so not sure how it affected...

I graduated in March from RN-BSN program, not prelicensure, and I loved it , very flexible and everyone was very helpful and encouraging. I would get my nurse practitioner there if they offered it.

Hi, I have no idea about the UAMS FNP program, I was shocked I got in the UAMS FMHNP program without a wait, so you never know. I do know Arkansas needs alot more providers. You have to wait over a month now for regular doctor visits that are not eme...

Hi marilynmom, I really like Amedisys so far. I started 3 years ago but took a year off and just started back (I broke my arm and had 2 surgeries). I work PRN/part time and have my own patients and then help others out too. It's a large company so we...

Hi marilynmom, I really like psych home health, sometimes it is kinda strange or scary but most of my patients are in an assisted living center and so always someone is around. At their homes its strange at first but then you get used their quirks an...

I will start at UAMS, it is a good school and then make up my mind if I get accepted to USA. Clinicals at UAMS don't even start until the 2nd year. I have no idea how hard it is to transfer. USA has contracts in Arkansas with the VA and Dept of heal...

Hi Marilynmom and cameador: I work for Amedisys Home health out of Van Buren (50 miles away) and I really like it. I just see patients around where I live , I mainly do this with another nurse and we are both part time, but the pay is decent for part...

I'm in Arkansas also. I've been accepted into UAMS' FMHNP program but their patho class was full this summer so it has put me behind before I've even started! I have also applied to USA and they rolled my application to the spring, so I really don't ...

I am an RN and wanted my BSN so I ordered all the books from The College Network. Very expensive and then did not even use them. I decided to go through Western Governor's University which is very economical and accredited. Excelsior is its own progr...

I thought I was going to have to quit nursing until I found Birkenstocks. My doctor said I had a neuroma between my toes and the Birkenstocks allow my toes to spread out.My feet never hurt after working 12 hr shifts. Crocs are good too.

I currently am a student at WGU in their RN to BSN program. Since I am already an RN and have been for 12 years I don't have clinicals. I do have to take proctored tests and turn in assignments which I do take seriously since I am paying for this edu...
