Congrats on passing the boards! Hope all goes well with you. I do not know anything about Tampa. Sometimes ... you have to try it out yourself because your experience might be different :) What school did you attend and what was it like? Good luck in deciding.

I was told by UC that the program is considered 3/4 time and it is not a good idea to continue working full time especially when clinicals start. However, I am sure it can be done. Preceptors are your responsibility. I do not like that their program requires so many credit hrs... but they are a great school! I would like to hear more from past/present students. Maybe, real life info might be better able to guide us! Good luck to all.

I received info from UC and am concerned about the short 8 week sessions & amount of credits per semester. I plan on working fulltime while in school and am not sure if this program would be fulltime/partime. How was the interview process?

Thank you all for the great responses! Let's keep in touch. Good luck to those looking for 1st jobs ... hang in there!

Would you still recommend the FNP route in south FL? I have heard bad things about the salary but do you know what it really is in this area? I am having 2nd thoughts about doing it. I work in women's health now and was hoping to specialize after FNP or just do the WHNP. I just do not know anymore...

bchapp3182, sorry, but i am not allowed to send pm as yet. will love to talk to you more. i live nearby. do you practice as a fnp? thanks so much for the info!

criticalhp, why univeristy cincinnati versus other online schools? would appreciate your feedback. i am thinking of applying. is the gre required?

please let me know how things went. I plan on applying as well.

I have been thinking WHNP as well but are concerned about the job market. I've been told to do FNP and then specialize which would make me more marketable. Would like to hear more about this topic as well.

are you currently teaching? How was the MSN program?

did you work in surgery?

thank you for the advice ... anyone know what the starting pay for Educator is?

did you find a job that you like? I live in broward as well and would like to do FNP ... any advice?

Hi, I have 2 yrs exp as an RN with a BSN and am ready for grad school. Anyone out there know anything about FAU's & Barry MSN programs in Education or NP? Are you a current MSN student? I am also thinking about Frontier School of Widwifery online. Would appreciate your feedbacks. Thank you.

Hi, I went to Nova and it was a great experience! I would not worry about the tuition right now. You will be paying for top quality education. I am now paying my student loans and you can work on weekends as well. Find out if you can get Perkin loans ... they can be forgiven after graduation. PM me if you need additional info about NOVA. Good Luck!
