  1. Schools that require you to find a preceptor (rant)

    Rathyen replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This quote is exactly why the AMA and physicians look down on nurse practitioners so much. We do not do the same job as a physician. We are nurse practitioners, nurses with advanced training to use...

  2. How did you choose your online RN to BSN completion program?

    Rathyen replied to beautsbelle's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I really think what matters is that you make sure you go to an accredited school. Getting a job afterwards is about passing the test and selling

  3. How did you choose your online RN to BSN completion program?

    Rathyen replied to beautsbelle's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I didn't. I just graduated FNP school, passed my test, and am working as a Family Nurse Practitioner. All of which was done through "for profit", "online" schools. I did my BSN and MSN through WGU. My...

  4. FNP Board Prep - pretest scores

    Rathyen replied to NPbound8's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't get me wrong. The test is hard. I credit my years of working private practice as an RN as to how I passed. The entire time I was taking it i was positive I failed. Read the questions carefully,...

    Rathyen replied to beautsbelle's topic in Online Distance Learning

  6. Finding NP program, please help

    Rathyen replied to uniqueguy34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  7. FNP Board Prep - pretest scores

    Rathyen replied to NPbound8's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My school did the Barkley review, and my scores were similar. Then I answered every single question in the Leik book, then took the test. Passed on the first

  8. Need help deciding on an FNP school- feedback wanted!

    Rathyen replied to Terryb1985's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have never seen an ad that said they wouldn't hire an FNP from a for profit school. I graduated from a for profit school, and had a job offer before I even took my exam. The exam I took 10 days...

  9. has anyone worked for LHI doing C & P exams?

    Rathyen replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes. The DBQ forms will be endless. Since I messaged you, my company had decided not to continue with she exams, so I am not doing them at all. They just want very specific wording on your reports....

  10. has anyone worked for LHI doing C & P exams?

    Rathyen replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can tell you about C&P exams, I don't know about LHI. Many companies are performing them. Send me a private message if you

  11. Anyone do the Kaplan online NP program?

    Rathyen replied to LevitateMe's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you! I did work full time throughout the program. I already had a masters from another college, so I just did the post-masters cert. It took me just about a year and a half because I had...

  12. Best live review for AANP?

    Rathyen replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I didn't do any live review. I had the printed Barkley and the newest Leik book. Took the AANP test 11 days after graduation (today), and

  13. Anyone do the Kaplan online NP program?

    Rathyen replied to LevitateMe's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Kaplan is a for-profit school as far as I know. It's my understanding that Purdue is acquiring them and that will change. Honestly, I don't think once you have your certification, and license, anyone...

  14. NP boards- will I know of I pass right away??

    Rathyen replied to FuturePMHNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You get a pass/fail when you finish the test. You don't get your scores or certificate until they have all your final transcripts and

  16. Anyone do the Kaplan online NP program?

    Rathyen replied to LevitateMe's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just graduated December 23 from the Kaplan post-masters FNP program. I am in Texas. The program was fine. You really need to be able to teach yourself though. Like many online schools there aren't...

  17. WGU RN-BSN December 2017. Advice/support appreciated!

    Rathyen replied to raffie3166's topic in Western Governors University

    It has been a few years since I did my BSN with WGU (2011), but I don't think it has changed too much. It's still competency based, so if you know the material already, you can zip through the...

  18. online FNP

    Rathyen replied to Disneydog's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am about to graduate from Kaplan's post-masters FNP program in 6 weeks. Those of you that are talking trash about for-profit schools really have no idea what you're talking about. They are...

  19. WGU BSN to NP school?

    Rathyen replied to Brookem1221's topic in Western Governors University

    After my bachelors, I was accepted to the University of Alaska Anchorage, and Eastern Kentucky University (but for a different Masters program). I then decided to just get my MSN from WGU in nurse...

  20. WGU BSN to NP school?

    Rathyen replied to Brookem1221's topic in Western Governors University

    I currently live in Texas, but was living in Alaska. I haven't started looking for FNP jobs because I don't graduate until December. I haven't decided if I will stay here for move back to

  22. Doctoral degree and NP employment

    Rathyen replied to Penguins10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think this depends on where you are. I myself have a MSN and cannot get a single phone call for any clinical positions. However, when I took that off my resume, I did. I've found there are a lot of...

  23. Western Governors University Competency Based MSN Program

    Rathyen replied to goodnursetoo's topic in Western Governors University

    They are CCNE accredited. It will depend on the school you are applying to though. I have not had a problem using my BSN from there to get into two different master programs, but due to cost and time,...
