I am wondering if there are many opportunities for NPs to work part time? I am starting school this fall for my MSN degree and need to finalize my decision on my major, either MSN nursing education or FNP. I have small children and just getting throu...
Oh, that is interesting. I also need the insurance so that is good to know. Did you accept a position? May I ask what state you are in? Are you glad you became an NP or is it too soon to tell lol? I've been an ICU nurse for 17 years, I'm a bit intimi...
I am accepted into the University of Southern Indiana's MSN in nursing education program to start this fall, it is online. I am struggling with my choice. This is a "brick and mortar" school that has an excellent reputation as far as I can tell. They...

Hi, I am starting USI this fall in the MSN nurse ed program. Did you ever talk to anyone that's in the program? I'm just wondering about the courses, instructors, etc.
I am also wondering about the difference between MS and MSN. I am accepted into the University of Southern Indiana's MSN in nursing education this fall. I'm currently adjunct at a local RN school, and when I asked the Dean (who also happens to be on ...

Hi, I'm finished with the program in 2 weeks. It took me about a year and a half. I mostly took only one class at a time. The classes aren't that difficult, other than the online stats class which took a lot of time, but I've gotten all A's. There ar...

Hi, I have been in the program since last April. I have 3 more classes to go which I think are the most difficult. I had to take the stats through Devry and it was very time consuming, but I made it through. I took the economics class at my local cam...
Thank you everyone and nurseaboveboard. Yes, it does make sense to me. I feel that I'm in the same mindset that you are. I don't know what I want to do. My 3 co-workers that I'm in the RN-BSN program are all leaning toward ANP. Then we started talki...
Hi, I am an RN with 15 years of ICU experience. I am ready to make a change from critical care. I am considering becoming a Women's Health NP. Does one need to have experience in women's health before starting this type of program? I live in Ohio, an...
Thanks to everyone that has responded to my question, I really appreciate it! Does anyone know of a program that offers a post-master's certificate in women's health?
Thank you for your responses. Nurseaboveboard, could you elaborate one why your not currently practicing as a FNP? I'm just so unsure of what I want to do, I'm looking for any advice from NPs.
See my posting above, if you have any specific questions, you can send me a private message. I'm currently in my 6th class through Chamberlain. Good luck!
Mainly, I would not do the program again because of the price. $520 a credit hour is ridiculous, but they are a for profit college. The classes haven't been too horrible so far. The most difficult one I've had so far is the stats class. I had to put ...
I was wondering if one can teach in a nursing school with an NP degree or is an MSN in education required. I'm not sure which route I want to go, but if it's possible to teach with a NP degree, I would probably go that way for more career options.
Thank you. It is surprising to me that teaching pays less. In central Ohio, I'm finding that NP doesn't pay much more than I make as a staff nurse. The average I've found is around $40/hr.
I am just finishing my 5th class through Chamberlain's online RN-BSN program. What kind of problems did you run across? Other than the ridiculous price, I've only had a few other issues. Why do you say you're embarrassed? I don't think I would do th...

Hi, I was just wondering how the portfolio experience was. I'm in my 4th class through Chamberlain. I've been an ICU nurse for 15yrs and have chg, preceptor and committe experience. Is this the type of criteria they are looking for? I don't know if i...

I live in Ohio, I am the online RN-BSN program, but it's through the Missouri campus. I know there was an article about the Columbus campus in the Columbus Dispatch, you could search through the archives on their website to see it.

Chamberlain accepts 87 credits for my nursing degree, which is more than any other school I've found. They require a few prereqs which you can do at the same time as your other courses. Advanced comp, stats and a history. They split the semesters. Th...
