I am applying to a primary care FNP program and my goal is to work in urgent care. Can this be done with it being primary care?

How long does it take after u submit application does it usually take until u find out if u got accepted into a fnp program? And do u find out online or only by mail? Also do u get a letter either way if it is yes or no?

just curious your opinion and yeah I know no one knows but I wrote a personal goal statement and just don't like it and not sure how to make it better. I've had family look at it some. I have really good grades and good g p a. I can write a paper just fine but not this for some reason. I have plenty of nursing experience. Could I still get in fnp program if the personal statement is not good but good grades and gpa and nursing experience ?

Anyone know what to do???

website says in bold letters to submit application first. When I talk to fnp coordinator at school she says transcripts first bc application will be imcomplete. So which do I do?? What did your program require? Also do I have to wait on letters of recommendation to be done before submitting application? Because the letters of recommendation are sent directly from the recommender to school email. I'm confused. Thanks for any comments

It's July 14 now and deadline is October 1. I've done everything except get my letters of recommendation and get transcripts both official and unofficial. Am I waiting too late? Should I wait til next time to apply? I've told one person about letter of recommendation and currently trying to get in touch with the other. So I'll have to wait for them to write the letters and also however long it takes to get transcripts. I'm hoping it's not too late for the October 1 deadline. I'm not sure how the application process works like does my application have to be amazing to be considered now since they have seen so many others by now?

Someone please explain this to me??? Some of my coworkers say they are getting their masters degree at their own pace. What in the world? So there are no deadlines for papers and all? This makes no sense to me. These people are not going back for a nurse practitioner degree but yet a masters in nursing . Are there any fnp programs that do that? Surely not. Thanks for any comments

I have been a nurse for six years. I feel kinda discouraged like maybe I should have become a fnp a long time ago. I'm wondering if school will be much harder now at 31. I had really good grades in school but haven't had to study, write papers, projects etc. in forever and part of me feels like what am I doin starting all over again? I don't know. I don't guess I really have a question but thanks for reading. Any comments are appreciated.

Anyone got advice please??

I'm so disappointed where I normally would have been very happy because I just found out I'm pregnant and I already have a two year old and was going to start school in an online fnp program January 2017. So now be honest... Should I cancel and go another time in life? Is this impossible? i have a husband who many days can stay home all day with the kids due to his work schedule and daycare with the very rare occasion of in laws watching the kids. Please give honest advise. I really want to go to school but don't want to get into anything that I can't handle. Thanks

@BCgradnurse: So who did you have professionally critique your paper? If I knew someone other than friends and family I would pay to have them look at it. The paper is definitely my weakness at this point though it really shouldn't be. Thank you for your help

I have good grades and a high GPA and six years of nursing experience with medical surgical for five years as well as urgent care and experience on a renal floor. I'm great at reading and test taking but for some reason I have trouble writing things about myself like a personal statement. Is this part really important on getting into fnp school?

If given an order to start 500ml ns bolus and bp is 78/50 hr 41. You were told pt would die within the next few days but not exactly expecting today. fast respiratory rate for the day before and that day. Would the bolus have kept them alive for long or at all if given immediately? There were Tons of other stat orders and other lab people workin on them as we'll as starting another iv before bolus was given. Pt passed before bolus given

I am a new nurse and I'm coming up with lots of little questions. when a doctor order says change dressing every day, and i am a day nurse does that mean i am supposed to change it and then the night nurse does not have to? or does that really mean change it once a shift so the morning nurse and night nurse both change it? And how are you supossed to know when they changed it last if they didn't document it in a place you can readily find? Do you just go by the date and time on the dressing itself?

I'm working in med/surg now and it seems crazy but i'm overwhelmed most days. I'm a new grad but maybe this just means nursing is not for me however I really love it. Do you have a suggestion of a slower paced floor? I never get out on time at the end of the day because I have so much charting, but sometimes I have to get help to finish some tasks at the end of the day and this is not how I want to live my life anymore. should i try a smaller hospital would that make a difference?
