   I don't know the max number of credits. I did full time study, 36 hours in 5 semesters- Fall, Spring, Summer, Fall, Spring, which amount to about 22 calendar months.

2. online nurse practitioner

   mrspopeye replied to almostarn's topic in NP

   By trimester, I assume you mean Spring, Summer and Fall, which is what I did there. Spring and Fall were 15-16 wks each and summer was a few weeks shorter than that, I believe. Just like the majority of universities. You may not get to talk to anyone...

5. How do I find a list of accredited online adult NP programs?

   mrspopeye replied to Beth Beck's topic in NP

   It was for the Adult NP track. They also did not require a GRE or thesis at the time I went a few years ago.

6. This is IT, I have HAD IT!

   mrspopeye replied to AngelfireRN's topic in NP

   They value your business??? Ha. I know the AANP credentials NPs also, but I don't think they do ACNPs. Anyway, they are no better. It was a nightmare both times I used them. Last time, 4 months to get an authorization to test. Awful (nonexistant) com...

7. How do I find a list of accredited online adult NP programs?

   mrspopeye replied to Beth Beck's topic in NP

   Look at allnursingschools.com for a list. I graduated fron SLU with an ANP. My advice: get an FNP. You are more marketable and will have many more job opportunities. I had to go back 4-5 years later and get a FNP Post Master's just to be competitive ...

8. searching for best online program

   mrspopeye replied to jRN4now's topic in NP

   I graduated from the SLU online ANP program. Although I would say that it is very good and I leaned what I needed to, it is very expensive and if I had it to do over, I would probably pick a cheaper school.

   mrspopeye replied to almostarn's topic in NP

   You can find a list at allnursingschools.com. I did an online ANP at St. Louis University and it was ok- I learned what I needed to know. If I could do it over, I would have picked somewhere cheaper. I went back and got a Post Masters FNP at a local ...

10. ACNP vs AANP

    mrspopeye replied to amberfnp's topic in NP

    You can get the smart briefs free, even if you are not a member. AANP is very difficult to deal with - I was certified by them as a Adult NP a few years back, which was not necessarily a smooth process (lost my transcript twice) and I recently went b...

11. Why did you choose the college you did?

    mrspopeye replied to jschut's topic in NP

    I went through the online program at St. Louis University several years ago, which was fine, but looking back I wished I had researched more and picked a less expensive school- it cost over $30K to go from BSN to MSN. I will still be paying on my stu...

    The one book that was most helpful to me in school was Uphold & Graham's Clinical Guidelines in Family Practice.

    So how did you do on your exam?

14. How will I make it through?

    mrspopeye replied to rikashade04RN's topic in Tennessee

    Your post made me do a little reflecting. It has now been 15 years since I was a junior in a BSN program, in which I spent countless days, weeks and months in perpetual frustration, and I made plenty of 70s along the way. I am now a nurse practitione...

    SheriStudentFNP: What part of the country do you live in? We have an overabundance of mid-levels where I live in TN and many folks are in the same boat. I took a less than optimal job offer my first year- I left exactly 1 year later and make almost t...
