I need an online Physical Assessment Course and an online Statistics course. Anybody know of any? Thanks!

okay. i literally sent my application to USA's online FNP program about 15 minutes ago. then i found this. and i am TERRIFIED. so, all of you who hated this program--what online program would you suggest? and those of you who didn't hate it--why should i go for it?

Anyone have a copy of Patricia Benner's "from novice to expert" they would want to sell?? i can't find it anywhere, even used, for under $30.

I am thinking I want to get both degrees...mostly to be marketable in my very very rural area. (i live 3 hours from the closest major hospital...we have a hospital but its only 16 beds and as far as laboring moms go, if anything goes wrong, they life-flight them to the big hospital). I figure FNP in addition to CNM would allow me to do both. Does anyone have experience doing this?? And, which degree program would you suggest doing first??

Hi all. I could really use some help. I am looking for any schools that offer a dual FNP/CNM program ON-LINE. So far, only Vanderbilt and some school in Michigan seem to offer an actual dual FNP/CNM program. But both of those are on-campus programs. Does anyone know of any others? Are they on-line? I realize there are many programs that you can get a post-master's certificate through. My hang-up with that, though, is the time commitment. I already have a BA for a four year college and my two year RN degree. (aka, i've already been in school for 6 years). I really really want to be an FNP/CNM but i really really don't want to be in school for ever and ever. That said, if all i can find is a post-master's program...how long does it take to get your post-master's certificate after completing the initial MSN program? wow. sorry for the rambling. any help/advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'm driving myself crazy.

Higher than a 65% on their practice tests? Does that imply a decent chance of passing the nclex? They want you to get higher that 65% on the nclex?

I am doing the online version of Kaplan and I am consistently getting 69% on the QBank tests. Does anybody know if this translates into a fair chance of passing the NCLEX or a horrible chance?

I am one month away from graduating with an RN degree. I live in a very rural part of northern minnesota. there is a hospital here (only 16 beds though) and virtually no demand for nurses. And, i'm afraid, if a job ever does open up, it would clearly be given to someone with experience. So. I need to find a job elsewhere. The closest next hospital is 2 1/2 hours away (in Duluth) with the Cities being 5 hours away. I am willing to commute if I could find a part-time job with consecutive hours. But...my next problem is...there aren't very many openings at any of those hospitals either and all of the openings REQUIRE at least one year of experience. SO...how do i GET that experience? Especially from way up here. We can't move right now...we just bought a house and my husband really can't' quit his job. So I can't really do a graduate nurse internship in some other state because i can't commit to worker there for 2 years. I am desperate and getting really worried. ANY ideas/thoughts/advice would be VERY VERY appreciated. thanks in advance!
