Just got my acceptance packet in and an email stating I have it completed. I have yet to receive my email address, but it seems like everything is progressing quite well!

Search for University of south Alabama DNP fall 2012. Let me know if you can't find it. Thanks

Ok, the fall 2012 university of south Alabama Facebook page is officially up! Search for it and join it on facebook

For all those starting the DNP program in the fall. We have created a facebook page. Look for "University of South Alabama DNP Fall 2012" group on Facebook. This thread will also be a great place for general discussion as we all know we will need friends!

BSN-FNP/DNP student here. My email is [email protected] I will start the facebook group if you guys send me your names to add you on facebook. I would like to start 2 groups one for DNP/FNP students and one for NP students in general. That way if we have some classes together we can have more input. Also, I was looking at the schedule today and saw that there is a MSD specialty. I was wonddering what the community has heard about it. I am hoping to go into diabetes management/endocrinology so that seems like a good fit for me. Thanks.

QUESTION: Has anyone seen the schedule for the BSN-DNP? It looks like we have the option (if you're FNP) to do the MSD subspecialty (which is a diabetes and metabolic syndrome specialty). I am personally excited about this because I want to work in as an endo when I get out, and I am currently going after my CDE cert. Is anyone else aware of this? Has anyone been through this program before?

I will be in the part-time DNP/FNP. Excited to get started! I didn't know about the webinar. I get it, but it will be sad to not see anyone face to face.

I just got my letter as well! I will be starting the FNP/DNP program in the fall. I live in Denver, CO right now and would be interested to have a study partner if anyone is close.

I agree with the experience does make a good NP from what I have seen. I also agree that if being an NP is what you want to do then you should get into school when it is offered. This is my humble opinion as I am a nursing student of course .... But I think what our friend who just got into FNP school is trying to say is that a lot of 10-20 year nurses where he/she works are very discouraging about going back to NP school, and that one should not let them keep you from going ahead and getting your NP. I don't believe that this person is trying to say an inexperienced NP is BETTER than an experienced one. OFCOURSE THEY ARE. Therefore, I agree with both in that YES an experienced NP is better prepared, but if you are offered the opportunity to get your NP with little bedside experience then you should do it! I mean, do PAs have 5 years of bedside experience before they start practice? Most of the time NO. Don't let anyone discourage you from your dreams! Obtain your dreams and work hard at your profession.

I am about to graduate from nursing school and I am a tech in the ER. I love it. Although I am sure some flight nurses might disagree with me it can be pretty adrenaline pumping sometimes.

I love the iguana scrubs from iguanamed

what do U mean Us guys don't use symbols and stuff like that. We think nursing is gr8. ha ... only joking

Nike makes a great shoe white leather SHOX shoe.

I absolutely love iguana scrubs! http://www.iguanamed.com/ They have great fitting guy tops, and the colors are usually pretty good too.

I love nursing, but if you do not have a heart for the people you work with it can be a difficult job and become task oriented instead of patient focused.
