  1. Teaching CEU's to nurses

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to marty6001's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on who your audience is and what, if any requirements you intend to meet. If it is just inhouse training for policies and procedures, no requirements. If for professional license CE for...

  2. Accreditation of BSN for acceptant to NP programs

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to Dennis88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Double check with the school, as all are different. My understanding is that for any credits to transfer, the school must be accredited by one of the regional accrediting bodies. ISU was very...

  3. NP "Glut" on the market

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to dgclough's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In the absence of evidence, what you are desiminating is a complete fabrication and does nothing but harm the reputation of brick and mortar schools that serve the distance education market as well as...

  4. NP "Glut" on the market

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to dgclough's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Which states? Southern states? Western states? Please let me know of one state that does not recognize a CCNE accredited FNP program - either distance or brick and mortar that delivers NP training...

  5. NP "Glut" on the market

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to dgclough's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree, respect is the cornerstone of effective communication. Perhaps when individuals make idiotic comments that state fact, they should have to provide some form of evidence to support besides...

  6. Obtaining Masters in Nursing

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to CJsGirlRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good for you for advancing your education. I graduate next May, and it has been a very difficult process. The key is family support and selecting a school that matches your personality. If you are a...

  7. How many schools did everyone apply to?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm so sorry to hear that. Congrats on getting into USI--just in time, as another poster said they are booked solid for the next five years or so. Also, is it $241 or $269 per

  8. Online program recommendations

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to bhstarz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Touchy? Perhaps. Bottom line, is there will always be people who are uninformed, truly too insecure with themselves and must discriminate against others for no good reason; infer generalizations not...

  9. An Online MSN -NP program?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to smileysenior's topic in Post Graduate Students

  10. NP Schools

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to cardiacnurse1969's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's actually $231 and some change for all distance ed students. But it's kind of moot now that the program is booked up for the next 5 years or so. It will probably be different

  11. NP Schools

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to cardiacnurse1969's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OMG. I'm so sorry. I knew it was impacted but didn't know it was that bad. You know, another alternative I would look into is Ball

  12. Online program recommendations

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to bhstarz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm sorry, I should have elaborated. Your comments are repugnant in the sense they arouse disgust, aversion, and are offensive to me, and probably others who are consumers of distance education. Your...

  13. Master Degree in Nursing

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know why they don't put that on their web site. To me this was the best selling point of the whole program. If it were me, I would put that in bold red letters at the top of the site, but...

  16. How many schools did everyone apply to?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Those fees reflect out of state students who are attending on campus courses--not distance education courses. All students taking distance education courses pay in state tuition. I've been...

  17. How many schools did everyone apply to?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not sure, but Ball State, USI and ISU all have the same policy, all of which are state

  18. Online program recommendations

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to bhstarz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Very curious. As a distant FNP student I will become the first to pass from a preceptor with 25 years of experience in precepting FNP students who has never passed one student. It was so bad that...

  19. An Online MSN -NP program?

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to smileysenior's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There is no reason to apply to more than 2 or 3 unless your GPA is below 3.00 or you have less than a year of exp or you have some type of history problem or you are applying to one of the premiums...

  21. NP Schools

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to cardiacnurse1969's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is not correct. True there are 2 research courses, but the first of the two only reviews or duplicates the research course at the BSN level. This course provides how to critique evidence and...

  22. Where is the best online NP program

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to n4dcb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most USI FNP students work and many have small children. I really don't know how they do it because the amount of information, especially in the second year is pretty brutal. I'm putting in about 50...

  23. NP Schools

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to cardiacnurse1969's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Out of 665 required clinical hours, you need 150 hours each for peds, adults and geriatrics. Also, you need 150 hours for ob/gyn. I chose a preceptor who does all, so I don't need to get another,...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to cardiacnurse1969's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
