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 the nursing process to provide primary care for our...

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 yourself.

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 post-masters cert through Kaplan, which is now Pu...

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, and don't second guess yourself.

WGU. Cheap, accredited, finished in six months for my RN-BSN. 1.5 Years for my MSN.

I would to Kaplan university, which is now Purdue global. They're all about the same cost, just make sure the whichever you select is accredited.

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 try.

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 after graduating, and passed. I believe it is more in ...

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. They should provide you with plenty of sample docume...

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 want.

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 trouble finding a preceptor once. I arranged my schedule...

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 passed.

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 is really going to care where you went to school a...

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 whatnot.

Thanks! I passed! I took the AANP test today!

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 any lectures, just assignments and readings. You ha...

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 classes. I did mine in 6 months. Follow the rubrics exact...

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 convenient and don't require the same ridiculous busy work ...

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 leadership in management. After that, I was accepted ...

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 Alaska.

Yes, I was accepted into three programs after graduating from WGU. One was a state college program, two were online programs. I'm finishing up my FNP post-masters cert this year.

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 experienced nurses that do not wish to have someon...

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, I went back to WGU. I just finished my MSN two we...

Thank you to everyone who helped with this project. The survey is now closed.

Hello fellow nurses! My name is Tanya and I am finishing up my MSN in Nurse Leadership and Management with a capstone research project regarding large volume intramuscular injection technique. I am looking for Registered Nurses, who work and were edu...
