Hi Everyone, I was looking for anyone who had completed or is attending California State University Fullerton's Distance education BSN program. I am looking for some different programs, and was looking for some insight on this program from everyone ...

Hello All, I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of some reputable companies that do telemedicine visits with NP's for their patients. I have seen some apps that do this as well. Does anyone have a job like this? Or a per diem positio...

Designer NP - I sent you a PM. Thank you!!

Hey everyone, Quick question for those who are studying for AANP FNP exam, or those who have just passed it... While I am doing practice exams, what percentage should I be aiming for? I know on APEA I think it said 70 or higher and you are good to g...

That does help. I heard that from Fitzgerald as well, however I was not sure since on the APEA website practice tests I think it said 70% or higher a good chance of passing the exam. Honestly, I don't ever think I will feel ready! Thanks! Anyone else...

Hi All, I have questions regarding the Nurse Practitioner (FNP) outlook near Austin, TX. I am currently finishing my MSN/FNP in California, graduation in June 2015 (YAYYY!!!). My husband is negotiating a contract for his *dream* job in Austin, TX. W...

WOW! This post is so incredibly helpful! Thank you for this information. I just posted on another thread about possibly moving from California to Texas when I am done with my FNP program (June 2015). This insight was so helpful! Any other comments ab...

Thank you so much for the insight and encouragement! It is very reassuring to hear that there are opening available. I am fine with making a little less at the start in order to get the right job. Tesses- If I understand you correctly, your advice i...

Hi All, I am looking to hear about experiences during your clinical hours/preceptorship during NP school. I just started my first round of clinical hours in my FNP program. I worry that I am not "doing enough" but, its only my first clinical. How mu...

Hi All, I am looking to hear from anyone who did NOT work during their NP program. Currently, I attend my FNP program full time and work part time. In my program, there is not one student just going to school. All students work full or part time (wel...

I became a RN at 21, finished BSN at 23, started my FNP at 24. I will graduate in two years at 26 (hopefully right!?)... I have always wanted to be a NP. I had my doubts about whether I could do it or not, but I ended up just going for it pretty much...

Thank you all for your responses. I knew there HAD to be some other opinions out there somewhere...thank you!!!

Hi All! I don't know if this helps or adds to confusion... but I am WGU graduate. I am in California, and in 2012 I did the RN-BSN program in 6 months. Initially, when I mentioned to my mentor about this, he kind of laughed and then planned out my co...

When I was finishing my BSN and looking into my MSN/FNP programs, I was told by numerous people that I had to have my degree posted before I could apply. I applied anyway and was accepted. I think it really depends on the programs, your GPA, academic...

I am so glad this poll was posted. I was in the process of asking the same question but during the glitch with the website mine was lost. I am considering Walden as well for FNP, so we are in very similar situations. Surprisingly, compared to the oth...

Oh my goodness I cannot believe you heard in 3 days- and on a weekend! They must have REALLY wanted you! I have not heard anything yet, still waiting, and I am getting even more nervous since there seems to be a lot of denial letters going out on the...

Hi Everyone, I am waiting to hear from Georgetown for the August start date. I am so nervous it is ridiculous! Georgetown is my first choice by far! I am concerned I have applied to close to the deadline- what do you all think? And what did everyone ...

Hi All- I have been a RN working in acute care for about a year and a half. I was fortunate enough to get a great position right out of nursing school. My first year was spent on a very busy high stress specialty unit. I told myself I would stick i...

Just had a baby and mom in postpartum that had a true knot. Baby and mom were perfectly fine, baby was born vaginally. I did not even realize how rare it was until I researched a little bit!

I am sure this is the same story many new grads have, but I need to vent! I am looking for honesty. I have been on my own for about one month now- working on a medsurg unit. Patient admit for back pain, hx of kidney stones. Also on PCA of dilaudid. ...

Thank you so much for your replies, it is REALLY helpful to have honest opinions from everyone. I really appreciate the help!!! Thank you!!

I am also super interested in this field, but I am a brand new grad, so no experience at all. I am not even sure if this is a field a new grad could work in? I have been researching this as well, and I have found there is not a lot of answers. It ap...

Hi Everyone, I am currently a nursing student, and I have become interested in gerontology. I was curious if anyone has any input or information about how someone would start a senior care residence home. I was thinking about a smaller home to star...

I would LOVE to get more info on the 300 hour program you were in heartsopenwide, but since I have not posted 15 messages, I am unable to private message, but I believe you can private message me? ( I think this is how it works anyways, who knows?!) ...

Hi Everyone! I am a nursing student who just finished up my OB rotation- and I truly enjoyed it. I would love to start in mother baby first, then move to L&D much later on. I have read tons of posts about how to get a step up, because it seems l...
