  1. online nurse practitioner

    mrspopeye replied to almostarn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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

    mrspopeye replied to almostarn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

    mrspopeye replied to almostarn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It took me 2 years of full time study to complete the ANP program- I think it was 36 credit hours

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

    mrspopeye replied to Beth Beck's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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

  6. This is IT, I have HAD IT!

    mrspopeye replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

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

    mrspopeye replied to Beth Beck's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

  8. searching for best online program

    mrspopeye replied to jRN4now's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

  9. online nurse practitioner

    mrspopeye replied to almostarn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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....

  10. ACNP vs AANP

    mrspopeye replied to amberfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

  11. Why did you choose the college you did?

    mrspopeye replied to jschut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, 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...

  12. Just Wondering

    mrspopeye replied to xos4eva's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

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

  13. How will I make it through?

    mrspopeye replied to rikashade04RN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    So how did you do on your

  14. How will I make it through?

    mrspopeye replied to rikashade04RN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    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

    mrspopeye replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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. Info on Adult NP Curriculum/Job Prospects?

    mrspopeye replied to ivyleaf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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

    mrspopeye replied to caitiecait's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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

    mrspopeye replied to marvinskbaby1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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...

  19. If you were in NP school again, what would you do different?

    mrspopeye replied to NPs4health's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I graduated from St. Louis University. I could have gone to Vanderbilt for the same

  20. Vanderbilt NP Bridge program

    mrspopeye replied to Bigranger's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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

    mrspopeye replied to abcdefg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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

    mrspopeye replied to newbieNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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. If you were in NP school again, what would you do different?

    mrspopeye replied to NPs4health's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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...

  24. VENT: My Frustrating 1st ACNP Job

    mrspopeye replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    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...

  25. NP doing home calls?

    mrspopeye replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I once had a part-time, independent practice of house calls as a NP, and it was a great opportunity, especially in a rural community. I was the clinical manager of a home care agency for 10 years as a...
