    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
  2. online nurse practitioner

    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...

  6. This is IT, I have HAD IT!

    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...
  7. 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...
  8. searching for best online program

    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...
  9. online nurse practitioner

    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....
  10. ACNP vs AANP

    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...
  11. Why did you choose the college you did?

    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...

  14. How will I make it through?

    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...
  15. Benefits Package

    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...
  16. Nursetim is right about their being fewer jobs available for ANPs than FNPs. I have been an ANP for 4 years and I just knew when I started school that I wanted nothing to do with peds, and I had my...
  17. FNP School Choices

    I graduated from St. Louis University, which was just ok, but very expensive. If I could do it all over again, I would have researched a little deeper and maybe found something less
  18. Family nurse practitioner salary in Memphis,TN

    As funny as this seems, the range you gave anywhere between $65K and $100K I think is absolutely correct here in Tennessee. The upper range of that is likely highly experienced individuals working in...

  20. Vanderbilt NP Bridge program

    I know a few people who have done the bridge program and I understand that it is intense and very expensive. I hope that you have as much good luck with landing the great jobs with a Vanderbilt degree...
  21. Normal working hours and part-time

    We have about 15-18 mid-levels employed where I work and almost all of them work part time because of their families - only 3-4 of us are full time. My employer actually prefers to hire part time...
  22. Negotiating salary/benefits

    My first NP job out of school was with a solo MD who had never had a NP. I quit after 9 months and found another job making twice as much with a larger practice that had benefits. My two cents: you...
  23. I would have found a cheaper school- that big monthly school loan payment sucks. Especially so when working alongside colleagues who passed the same board exam and make the same pay I do and...

    you said it right on march 17: okay, so... "only time can tell," right?? i am glad that it is turning around for you. i had a really tough 1st np job experience, and finally just had to walk away...
