Anyone recently apply for an inital DEA license? What was your wait time? I know the site is saying 4-6 weeks but I just wanted to see how long others have waited. Thanks!

I applied late Friday night and had a DEA number/license available online today with a hard copy on it's way with an ETA of 5-7 days. DEA FTW!

Thanks!

Zenman, Unfortunely, it does come up. Especially in areas where there aren't that many NP's and someone new comes in. I'm in South Dakota and a FNP. And while I know it is illegal, I have been asked in EVERY interview if I'm a military spouse. I've e...

As jillarnp pointed out it is HARD to find a job as a new grad with the added title of military spouse. Even without out right saying you are a military spouse, employers still have asked me (yes, it is illegal but what can you do). We moved abroad (...

Something to add here...ALL agencies aren't bad and from what I have seen and experienced you MUST also be in contact with the contracting officer/official at the clinic in which you are applying. They can give you the real deal of what is going on. ...

Just wondering what different schedules FNPs have, more specifically those in outpatient clinics. I thought moving from floor RN to clinic FNP would be better, but at the end of my clinic days I can barely function to make dinner, etc.

Just a heads up on the University of South Alabama...a majority of the students are NOT happy. That is true in the MSN and DNP programs. Several MSN prepared nurses who have wrote several research articles dropped the USA program because of lack of g...

Just curious did you all have phone interviews for the DNP program and which track did you all apply for? I am trying to switch from the MSN track tothe DNP track and mailed my application in late, so I will be considered only on a space available ba...

The DNP at USA is very new (maybe 2 years if that?). I don't think you are going to have much luck finding anyone with personal experience with the DNP program at USA. There are multiple threads on the MSN program there.

Those are all extensive writing courses with the exception of Assessment. Quite a few have longer 10-12 page assignments and strict APA...

Tests are online, timed, and they are closed book per honor code...they recently told us that all finals will now be proctered at a test center per your expense. Tests are typically 35 ?s 35 minutes.

It is a master's program, do not let the fact that it is online fool you. It is hard! No master's program is going to be easy and the person that tells you it is lying. Nothing worth having is easy! The workload is extremely heavy. I am finishing up...

It depends on which semester you enter. I would recommend doing all of the pre-reqs (pharm, patho, theory, roles, research, economics) first, no matter where they are in the curriculum. I was able to work 2-3 weeks while just taking pre-reqs but I wa...

As a military spouse, I would recommend going for the ADN first, because chances are you will never be anywhere long enough to finish a 4 year on campus program. You can always go back and get your BSN and/or MSN online through several reputable coll...

Ditto what shortlittlern said working even part time is beginning to take it's toll! With the reading and tests every week it has been exhausting and thats with only 60 clinical hours for this semester (4th semester FNP)! I can not imagine working wi...

I am not an alumni but I am also beginning my first clinical semester and my god the reading is ridiculous! I have heard that the clinical paperwork is a bear but I am thinking that is referring to the next 3 semesters! Hang in there! We CAN do this!...

Background, I am enrolled in a FNP program and will begin my first clinical classes this fall. Our school is offering a new adult health nurse practitioner program with added geri focus. My first question is for any adult health nurse practitioners ...

Are there any University of South Alabama grads on this board? I am first semester of the FNP track and already worried about clinical sites! I know on their site they list their clinical affliations but did anyone arrange their own with sites not pr...

Congrats!!!:yeah:

1. University of South Alabama 2. MSN-FNP 3. I will be working somewhere between part-time and full-time (2-3 12hr shifts/wk) 4. Full-time 5. and I'm probably going to have a nervous breakdown before it is all over!

Starla76: I am interested in how you went about joining while in school. I am a BSN in school for my FNP. Also what rank will you come in with? You mentioned they paid a stipend, do you still get an accession bonus? Did you have to go through any wai...

In regards to #3, there is little room for error in health care. Just because you have pass a test in no ways makes you competent, it means you know the material you were tested on. This scares me that you think that you can just learn it as you go w...

are there any nps out there married to the military? i would like to know what your biggest challenge has been being a professional and frequent relocations. were you able to complete np school at 1 location or did you have more than 1, and how did t...

Thanks for your reply...but it sparks another question. How in the heck were you able to get a job in an Army clinic-we are Air Force and I can't ever seem to find a job on base--I would love to have those hours (I think!) and the benefits. I am in ...
