Hey this is a great school, a lot of self study but I can imagine it'll probably be the same with every other online school. The most challenging part is getting clinical sites. I'm in my last class and we have to pass a APEA predictor exam, hopefull...

Am I the only one of our class that didn’t take the 3 p exam I opt to not take in week 7.And if so can you please direct me how to prepare, I’m sorta freaking out LOL, Im almost done with the APEA questions but there are 100s? for assessment, pharm, ...

Actually your right LOL! I just checked it out it’s about 25k, so out of pocket 5k. Actually this is one of the cheaper school that being said it’s probably because you would need to find your own clinical sites

Hi yes you would need to talk to your benhundal advisor at kp. FNP is paid through the benhundal trust fund. Yes I was quoted 45k, but out of pocket came out to be 5k after kp helped with tuition. So it’s not completely free, out of pocket it’s 5k ov...

Hi I start dec 21

I start in two weeks pathophysiology. The school is about 45k including taxes. Fortunately American sentinel works with my employer to have my FNP paid for. I’m very appreciative for Kaiser Permanente.

Ya FNP or acute geriatrics for urgent care. I just want something I know for sure will be not as stressful and hopefully in demand as much as it is now. Not a lot of people want to do psych FNP

Ya I was told after the 3 p exam you are able to choose your specialty. I’m leaning towards psych APRN for job stability and pay.

How did you guys prepare for the 3ps exam?

So your about to take your exam in 1 week. You can't get any sleep. You wake up have a coffee and study from morning to night. This has been a ritual for you for a month. Question by question. Rationale to rationale. All skims your brain. All for tha...

I'm very grateful for getting offered a position at the top 3 hospitals in Oahu IMO. My question is which overall would you pick? I live on the Leeward side so commute is important for me. Starting pay at straub 41$ Starting pay at queens 44$ I don't...

ALOHA to all the lucky newly hired grads in Hawaii, I envy your hard work. I'm graduating soon and the market in Hawaii is EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE you guys should know. It seems like now-a-days you have to know somebody or work as a CNA/CLERK just to ...

Thanks for your insight very informative. I have heard about clinical RN's being laid off but not of the acute hosptial RN's. I completely agree the pay and benefits are VERY competitive, one of the main reasons why I want to work there. I've heard ...

Wow that's the answer I was really looking for, someone who actually works there. The PROS. Look awesome Park, pay, health benefits... The Cons doesn't sound too bad except losing hours. Do you suggest I pick up a Prn position somewhere? I will...

Thanks yes queens is considered the most acute and only magnet hospital in the islands. Parking is a small issue.. its the traffic that everyone complains about. It's literally like driving in a parking lot and everyone is trying to find a parking sp...

Thanks, I'm still holding out. I need more input. Traffic and Parking is a big negative for me with those hospitals...just 6$/day and finding street parking is a hassle. I know how it is to be a new grad, its tough but once you get that one year of e...

Thanks I use to work for queens as well, lots of opportunities. But after 12 hour shifts its tiring to drive after a day or night shift. I'm located on the leeward side and kaiser is close compared to queens punch bowl. It was very hard for me to get...

Kaplan is made to be hard so that when you take the real exam its easy. I'm so happy I took Kaplan. Stick with Kaplan, I don't care if you got a low diagnostic score...so did I. But I stuck through it, and what do you have to lose..they give you your...

my diagnostic was a 56% haha..and I did it before the qbank and question trainers. I HIGHLY suggest you do question trainers between your qbanks to improve your scores. So lets say u do qt3....after that do 150--250 qbank questions..then do the qt4.....

I used the Kaplan online course..but get this..you don't even have to go to the online courses or live course..they are recorded and you can watch them on the Kaplan site they give you. Its awesome. My Kaplan was a brown course book (most recent) did...

In the beginning of Kaplan...believe it or not I was scoring 40s-50s...then I slowly got up to higher 50's lower 60's so evidently as long as your hitting that 50-60 marker you should be totally fine. qt 1: 55 qt2: 57 qt3: 49 qt4: 60 qt5 62 qt6: 60 q...

oops sorry I think I saw it on another post..I just reposted.. Gotcha

Don't get your CNA. 1 year of nursing school qualifies you to become a CNA at HPH or Queens. You would be wasting money since tuition is 5000$. Learn as much as you can from fundamentals first and then go from there. I'm about to graduate and when I ...

Thank you so much for your prompt response. Your advice will surely help me. I have been discouraged with Hawaii being so saturated with new grads. I'm afraid if I apply as a cna to all these hospitals...and I get into a new grad program in the mainl...

Hey guys I just wanted to get your perspective and kinda vent. I find myself studying everyday. I study the lectures right after class and expand my notes. I try to read some of the book to elaborate on the powerpoints. I study the objectives and...
