So, long story short, wife is in Occ Health (corporate) BSN only. Makes over 125k+ nowadays (works from home 50% of the time), but feels "meh" and misses school. She is obviously contemplated going back to school to get MSN- (XNP). Here is my questio...

Did you read my post lol? She will not be working as a NP she works in corporate healthcare administration for a Fortune 50 company. Leads a team of 55 Occ Health Nurses throughout North America. She just wants the NP foundation because she wants to ...

Wife's friends is a NP 34 5 years experience makes 80K Mon-Fri 8-4:30pm. RN's here make close to that sometimes more if your willing to working weekends. Her friend is a RN with 8yrs exp. at a local Hospital makes 34/hr Mon-Fri 6-230pm. The big diffe...

There aren't alot of NP jobs around imo. The degrees are being pumped out like gang busters I really think nursing schools are shooting themselves in the foot here. Here locally you'll find 2-4 openings active withing the last 30 days at any given ti...

Wife's friend been a NP for 4 years just took a job at a local Urgent Care Clinic. It's 1 MD and now 3 NP's her pay is 78K Mon-Frid 7:30-4pm everything else she didn't know the details. My wife makes 81K as a RN, 8% 401k, and 3 weeks vacation + 13 co...

DNP is a joke!! Clinical hours and more sciences gosh knows more theory and crap isn't needed. If it doesn't help you treat the patient it should be eliminated imo.

If that doesn't prove right there that nursing schools are becoming a dime a dozen I don't what does. Yes, the economy stinks, but really job searching for 1yr!! It will only get worse...think about this there are already more DNP nursing programs th...

There are so many nursing schools they are like puppy mills imo. You don't see PA or MD schools lowering standards still hard as hell to get into either!! So where does the problem lie?

WOW!!

70's screw that!! Maybe if it's 100% voluntary!! That's what 401k's are for.......70's shoot I'll probably be wearing a diaper by then considering Alzheimers runs strong in my family!

Go to med school!! If your GPA's are that good 1 year of pre-reqs and a solid MCAT and you can get in. Old premeds .com and studentdoctor.net nontraditional forum will enlighten you. My neighber 3 houses down is 37 and is in his 2nd year he couldn't ...

78K that is just crazy!! The new bubble without a doubt is college tuition.......

Too many schools, too many applicants, just flooding the market. There has to be 15 nursing programs within 50 miles of my home...........NP will be this way too imo. Think of this there are already more DNP programs as there are MD programs and a DN...

Why would you say that NP education here is 23-28 months!! By the time you realize that it really sucks your 1/4 of the way through to withdraw, reapply, etc would seem to be a waste for many. Thx to the OP for posting another great example of a scho...

That's my point NP Student.......you sound like you are going to a good school as did Zenman. Now if you search around you'll see the horror stories of the opposite being true that is my gripe. You don't really know what you're getting so to speak. T...

All I can say is there will be a point where things will get ugly in every nation not just this one. In Australia for instance the med schools have way way too many applicants because they just don't need the doctors....the population is too small. W...

Yep, ya'll all exactly right!! NP online is just as good as PA school hell even med school with all those years of experience. My two best buds being MD's now and watching the grueling hours of study, time, and sacrifice is meaningless. My wife going...

I had a big rebuttal typed, but erred to take the high road. The threads will continue being posted about new graduates feeling under prepared, asking why do I need to know so much theory, where are the sciences or clinical hours there are many threa...

We'll just agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Bologna with a capital B!!!! Maybe the $$$ online programs with video lecture, streaming where you can ask questions, but many or better yet most online programs are "read, write, submit"!! My two best friends went to med school my wife is in NP scho...

Another 2-3000 hrs of clinicals and more sciences you would feel prepared that's the issue with online NP programs.

Yeo^^^^^^^thats 1/2 the problem with the nursing curr. lack of clinical hours and sciences. When you have RN's wanting to go to PA school for the knowledge there is a problem.

Idk depends on the benefits my wife is a RN makes right at 80k salary with a 8% 401k match and 2.5-3% cost of living raises. Granted her job is high stress and she routinely works 45-50hrs a week. It's hard to choose going forward FNP or MD Im sure ...

Agree ^^^^^^ 100%

Yep!!! Too much theory not enough clinical hours!!
