Has anyone ever gotten their MSN through University of Phoenix? I was told i can get my MSN and then for an NP just get certified with a school closer to me (in boston).

As I prepare to return to graduate school, I would ultimately like to earn a terminal degree in nursing. My primary school that I want to go to is NYU, but they do not have a BSN to DNP program. However it is a program in the making.... but when is...

JovigirlRN THanks for your response. I decided to take the test in early 2012 instead of late 2011 due to change in priorities! The link to the amazon site did not work, do you happen to have another link for this so I can see what you recommended? T...

Hey everyone! I am studying for the OCN exam also. Thanks for posting in this thread... I am terrible with standardized testing, but I feel over the years I have improved. Let's hope that this mind-set comes with me during the test! I am in the ONS ...

Hello all, I know that Hunter College Adult NP program was on hold until the end of 2011, but today I saw "SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY". Does anyone have the scoop on this? Please do share, thanks :) NYCRN6

Good evening, I am looking to go back to school in Spring 2012 in New York for an Advanced Degree. Recently in October the IOM reported The Future of Nursing. I read about 100 pages... essentially they want us nurses to have the FULL extent of ed...

I also think of college loans as well. It scares me to think that when I get out I will have possibly 10-100K student loans (depending on grad school I attend, if I can work FT or PT, my institution's reimbursement program, etc). Most likely I will b...

Thanks for the article. I read it, and ALSO the comments. It is pretty sad how some student and experienced doctors think of NP's. They must not work in a great institution because NP's are highly looked upon here. If I were anyone here I would st...

another thing i have been looking at is duke university's bsn to dnp program.... it looks pretty impressive. i live in nyc and they require you to be on campus 3-4 weekends a year and that is it. what are your thoughts? http://nursing.duke.edu/modul...

I think a lot of what DNP is - is leadership courses and also the most terminal degree in nursing (in addition to PhD). Instead of not having patient contact they can use the evidence based practice that the PhD prepared nurses have researched and pu...

Thanks for your post. Do you practice in New York? I think DNP is a great degree and probably for our lifetime we will be explaining what our role is. It will be embedded into our culture as we get older and more people will accept the scope of pract...

EXCELLENT place to work. They treat you so well and have the best pay in NY. Everyone who works in NY knows about the culture of MSKCC in regards to patients and employees. They really push professional development and leadership. Everyone who works ...

Hello everyone. I have moved from Massachusetts where I had a great amount of support at my job, to New York where I am developing my contacts and connections here. I have so many questions. BSN, RN prepared. Work at MSKCC Did the Travel RN and Agen...

Thanks for your post. What about at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Cardiology Outpatient Unit?

I really have been thinking about combining Cards and Onc together... perhaps chemotherapy induced cardio toxicity and work in a clinic as such with a masters NP...... Any thoughts on that?

Hey there! Just finished with my first and last travel nursing assignment! I used it to get to NYC and love it to death! I work now in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Columbia New York Presbyterian as a per diem RN. Novaprostaffing PM me ...

Does anyone know about, know someone, is or has enrolled in the Hunter College Adult NP Program? I am looking online and it says In state residents $3.680.00 per semester max. Compared to Columbia University which is about 70K and NYU about 65-70K i...

Krnruby.... Thanks for your post.... I posted a similar discussion on NY posting today. Did you go to Hunter College for your MSN? I am looking into Adult Nurse Practitioner specializing in cardiology or Health Administration. Please let me know your...

I know Hunter College does not require GRE's and is MUCH cheaper... but how much of a weight/pull compared to Columbia University does it have when applying for jobs?

I work at NYP as a float... so about 3-4 times a month..... and F/T Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center...I live on the upper east side. 20 bucks cab ride. Not bad if you are working small amounts a month but it can add up. UWS.... 70-90's is bea...

I recently just started as an agency nurse (per diem). I work 1x a week. I have witnessed resistance but also appreciation. The first day I was wtih a preceptor but then the second day I was completely on my own. Thankfully there was a very nice RN t...
