    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to MereSanity's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow! I didn't realize how pricey it had become. Back in 93/94 I paid around $1,500 or so for everything. I remember the CPNE was $800 and each of the six ACT/PEP tests were $55 and the graduation...

  6. Indiana State University BSN students

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    As I understand, no preceptor required for challenge exams or portfolios. As far as preceptor hours from a 200 level course going towards 484, I'm not sure how that would work, as this is one of your...

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

  10. Which grad school to choose?? U South AL, Ind State U, U of Southern Ind

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

    I would suggest email to students of those programs. One of the biggest shams in the country, as one of many examples, is going off of that list of graduate schools by Newsweek. They rate schools...

  12. How many schools did everyone apply to?

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

    I applied to one. During the second semester, I became dissatisfied and applied to another. I was accepted by both. I see no need to apply to more than your top 3 choices, unless your GPA is below...

    Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C replied to justme1972's topic in Post Graduate Students

  18. An Online MSN -NP program?

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

    Unless you are applying to an Ivy league, or have a GPA of less than 3.00 or have less than 1 year of RN exp, don't sweat it. Apply to 2 or 3 of your top choices and once accepted, pick which one you...

  23. Is your DNP program accredited?

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

    I'm curious, what happens if your program does not receive accreditation. Do they hold off on giving out degrees until the program is accredited or do they distribute non-accredited degrees? If the...
