MultipNP BSN, MSN, APRN, NP

Mary, I had one of my comments on here edited to remove said group name before. So frustrating. Just type in school name and major to see what pops up. It's been a while .... I wanted to continue to encourage those of you in the program who ha...

I refuse to engage any further because clearly you have a problem in general. They are not a joke - are there to help people who need a way to get into school who may otherwise not be able to for some reason or another. Get over yourself.

Nice to know that at least there is an admission that there's nothing wrong. The last time I checked, I work for a profit, too... I don't know ANY employers who have those interview standards. Interesting...

I graduated from USU a year and a half ago - best decision ever. When I was in my clinical rotations, I'll never forget a couple of the observations made by a couple of my preceptors - who remarked how very impressed they were with USU when they not...

I'm not sure if this is a helpful way to encourage my fellow FNP students or more of a vent. But here goes... I am an FNP student who is a bit older - I became a registered nurse after a fairly successful first career (have my bachelor/master d...

I didn't get into the January program - my admissions advisor didn't get to my paperwork in time after allllllll the work I put into getting all of it in when I was supposed to. He apologized profusely, yada yada...... <sigh>... Apparently th...

THIS. This is what has given MANY schools a not-so-great rep lately. It's everyone and everywhere. Herzing is actually very highly regarded here, and often professors who are forthright will admit that it is very much like any other accredited pro...

I'm starting classes on Monday. After fighting with the system for a while I finally got some help today (yes - the Friday before ??‍♀️) and was assured I could start. But I have no idea which class I am starting since I'm doing the post grad cert ...

I do believe there would be remediation if there is something that is not checked off for some reason. Like MelRN said, you get what you put into it. Make friends with your classmates. When you get into study groups - if you find good partners - s...

Yes - I couldn't survive without it. I use it in practice daily.

That is unfortunate. Which books are required? I have been reading as much as I can by Stephen Stahl and am wondering if any of his psychopharmacology books are required.

Update 2: I have had patients asking for referrals to pediatricians during appointments. Finding it a bit odd that they were seeking advice from the NP at a psychiatric appointment, of course I asked why. One mom said, "The NP we see there just rub...

That makes me sad. It has a good rep in my area. I just went to a seminar featuring a psychiatrist from Emory (I'm already practicing in psychiatry - just really need to get the PMHNP so I can better serve my patients) who said he works very close...

I haven't applied yet - but am planning to apply to Herzing for Spring. I'm already working as a psych NP but want the board certification so I can better serve my patients (my boss hired me out of my FNP program after I interned with him during the...

I am just now seeing this post - I had my nose to the grindstone back in January! I graduated from USU in August, as well. As with any online program, whether for profit or not, students have to work hard to learn. I did very well and graduated wi...

I graduated from USU in August, and can say it is NOT an easy program as some may assume (oh - and by the way, it *is* also a brick and mortar school in San Diego, its online presence is just extremely well advertised). The first year is a LOT of wr...

Yes to all of this! I just finished my MSN-FNP online, and feel like I learned so much more than I normally have in classes because I was able to focus more without the distractions in the classroom setting while working at it on my own schedule. T...

I did it. I passed on the first try. I almost got sick as I pressed the "Finish" button...... It was no easy feat either, but I felt I should share here since I was scouring the web in recent weeks for any and all info I could on how on earth to p...

Update: Graduated with honors! Just received clearance to take board exams, and was offered a job by my psychiatric preceptor during clinical. He told me my office is ready and waiting. ❤️

I'm so sorry I am just now responding to this! I had a rough time in this last clinical rotation and am still recovering (yes, recovering - it was an unusual situation). I'm sure you have taken your HESI at this point - and survived. I can't recom...

You have the benefit of Picmonic through USU now - definitely use that! Also - just learn AS MUCH of the patho you can. But, most of all, don’t stress too much. The HESI is rough, but not worth have a panic attack! Just use common sense and remem...

Good luck! Other good resources are the APEA question banks. I bought a subscription for the patho question bank. I’m scheduled for the Advanced Health Assessment HESI on Monday and got some Exam Edge (a couple of professors suggested these during...

My midterm was very disappointing as well. Just do the best you can to relax and enjoy learning the material. I think my stress level hurt me a lot. Do the reading and if you have questions definitely ask! I also invested in a membership at...

As for Pathophysiology, I survived. I no longer have a 4.0, though! ??‍♀️
