They seriously prescribe chantix for psych patients?? That is pretty risky I hear.

Yeah, I work out all the time...wait......you meant.....ohhhhhhhh...nevermind.

Based on that...Lets just go with 'Mostly Dr. ______, NP' Seriously man, its about what you can do in the moment, not about your title.

Right now you're just 18 and your mind will change about 1.8 million times before that option comes around. Just focus on getting into nursing school first. And btw, the goal should be to become an outstanding health care provider. A DNP shouldn't be sought after as just a way to get 'Dr.' in front of your name.

30-50% attrition rate?!!! This sounds like the program doesn't really care about the students. Honestly, I think the higher GPA wins. An 'A' student will do whatever it takes to succeed. However, we are human and slip up and a C isn't the end of the world. I too went to a top tier school so I know how you feel.

This applies to the Army HPSP but I'm not sure about regular commission. ACTIVE NURSE CORPS PROGRAM HEALTH PROFESSIONS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM - PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONER This program is open to nurses who have a letter of acceptance from an accredited psychiatric nurse practitioner program. Qualified candidates should also have a BSN, at least one year of nursing experience and the ability to complete the program within two academic years. You'll receive full tuition for two years, plus money for books and more than $2,000 per month for living expenses. GoArmy.com Graduate Health Care Education

+ 1 I too would like to know this, but about the USA or USN.

This is for RN's getting a cert in ortho. What you are looking for is an NP fellowship of some sorts. This is done after completion of NP school (for the broadest scope, FNP). UNC Chapel Hill has one. Or, you can be trained by the doc.

Don't let fear of location stop you from your self proclaimed dream job!!! I love moving. I have not stayed in the same town longer than two years since 1999. The military was 4 years of it, but after that I got the moving bug!

I'm pretty sure that meant 21 months (of time spent in the ICU) :)

Unless you are applying to be a waiter, always wear a suit.

Just like me, re-write re-write re-write! Earned a 97 in AP1 and have 4 weeks left with a 97 in AP2....very exhausting class. But, I work 40 hrs/week so it's do-able! This isn't my school but I also found these lecture notes to be a huge help. AP1: BSC 1085 Anatomy & Physiology I AP2: Anatomy and Physiology II

That girls were not more important than homework!

Ditto on the working while in school question. I too would only have to take the Nursing courses. All help is appreciated!

Anyone know anything about this program? I assume it is relatively new since they do not have Nclex pass rates up on the Ncbon website yet. Any help would be GREAT!
