    Calibean replied to Cindy-20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went back for my FNP at 39 with a military husband and two kids (and two dogs). It was a struggle to balance everything and I taught my kids to try and get my attention by telling me "I really need...

    Calibean replied to LKWalters22's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I finished the program last summer and have been working as an NP for almost 6 months now. I didn't have the option of a b&m because of my location. Had I wanted to go it would have required at...

    Calibean replied to StevieRN26's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Having been a Navy wife for 20 years now, I will tell you the Navy is not wonderful at keeping you stationed together - I have seen it over and over that Navy spouses are separated. Also, you should...

  5. New Primary Care NPs

    Calibean replied to tussah10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They don't normally see the patient. I consult if I have a question, but they are just reviewing the charts and signing off since I am not credentialed with all insurance companies yet. I think there...

  10. Has anyone done George Washington University Online Program?!?!

    Calibean replied to LKWalters22's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Group projects did not need to be done in person but were usually done through e-mail, file sharing or when necessary Skype. I would say that there was at least one group project a semester with some...

  14. Another salary question

    Calibean replied to Calibean's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  15. How time intensive Full time school while working part-time?

    Calibean replied to evolvingrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  16. Another salary question

    Calibean replied to Calibean's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  17. Another salary question

    Calibean replied to Calibean's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
