Hi all. I am a FNP student in Colorado. They are changing the law in CO for ANP for prescriptive authority for new NP or if you transfer to CO for practice. On or about July 2010, all applicants for ANP who wish to prescribe must: 1) Before you are...

I disliked my first online NP program. It was quality program, but I did not feel that I was learning the drugs and labs like you would in a classroom environment. Also, lining up your preceptors can be a challenge. I transferred to a school with ...

It is a very difficult school to get into. One of the top 10 in FNP according to is it US News? Anyway, It is a school that you will not likely be able to work full time or much at all. They tell you that straight out. I got in, and attended ...

As a licensed attorney and a MSN, I work as a Legal Nurse Consultant for a major insurance carrier. I can imagine the salary offered by the law firm seemed very low for you. However, without a legal and/or claims background I do not think that wi...

I am attending Clarkson College out of Omaha, Nebraska. A really great online program FNP with lots of flexibility. I was accepted to Samford University too in Alabama, but deferred it until next fall hoping to get into Regis. Samford is an excell...

Hi everybody. Has anyone applied or received notice of admission to Regis University Family Nurse Practitioner masters program? I applied almost a year ago. The deadline was 1/4/2010 or such. Now waiting to see if I got in. Anyone else apply...

Hi all. Did anyone find their pharmacy class in FNP difficult? I just started school this fall, and the first exam was on cardiology medications. It is an area I have not utilized much recently, so many of it was new. I loved studying for it, and...

Hi all. I had a prior thread that did not ask this question quite right. Before we can prescribe medications in my state you are required to have a MD sign that you completed a 1800 hours after graduation and APN certification under his preceptorshi...

Hi all. I have been posting a bit about the changes in the NP scope of practice coming up in CO. These changes have caused me to pause a bit if I should continue on with my studies as a FNP. Presently, I have a nice executive job with a medical ...

Thank you for your reply. As an attorney, I should have researched the law better. :-). Here is what I found out: They are changing the law in CO. Right now NP have to have 1800 hours of working with a physician before they can be given authorit...

I am starting a FNP distance learning program the fall of 2009. I am going to try and work full time, and take the program full or part time. I will begin clinicals on 1/2009. I am told that I should start looking for a preceptor right away. I am...

Daisy that was a great link, thanks for taking the time to give me that tool to help locate NPs.

I am just at this time looking for a Preceptor for Advanced Physical Assessment. I certainly understand where you are suggesting clinics that are for individuals with more complex needs. That is coming soon. I am trying to establish those contact ...

That is to funny Dr. Z? How did you ask or explain what was needed? Sell yourself? Thanks. Michele

Thank you so much! That gave me a great foundation to start with! Where are you from, and what school are you going to?

Hello Colorado nurses! I am starting a Post masters FNP program in the fall of 2009. I will be starting clinicals on or about 1/2010. In addition, I need to work full time during the day. Therefore, the ideal situation for clinicals would be in...

1. Clarkson College 2. Post Masters FNP 3. Working full time 4. Attending full time (if can handle it) I am so excited. If you were accepted into graduate school for the 2009/2010 join this thread for some fun! 1. Name your school 2. Degree you...

Thank you all for such kind words. I checked on the Univ. of Cinn. and they are not accepting any new applications for the program. I will definitely apply to Frontier. Are there any other quality, accredited Post-Masters FNP that are distance ...

:cry:Hello. Well I just experienced your HORROR. I applied to another FNP program, not Frontier. It was similar in that it was a long distance program, and I was so hopeful. I received my rejection letter today. I was accepted to Duke Univer...

My suggestion is that without more experience as a RN it might be difficult to get into most DNP programs. I think you probably have two viable options: 1) Work as a RN for a year or so. Apply to a program that allows a BSN-DNP that allows you to p...

I have been wondering the same thing. After reviewing almost 100 DNP programs, it appears that a majority of the programs are set up for you to get after you have obtained your advanced nurse practitioner degree (MSN with specialty). So if you do ...
