  4. Rush University BSN-DNP FNP Fall 2017

    I am from Chicago. Rush university is a top nursing school here and not easy to get accepted. If you are/were accepted for the BSN to DNP track, I don't know how you would avoid not moving here. To my...
  5. Brick and Mortar AGACNP Programs

    Your core np classes are the most important, so a school that offers a mix of online and in person is desirable. I personally think research classes can be taken online. On site clinical classes...

  8. Why is our salary so low?

    This sounds so ridiculous and angry. Its a shame that nursing has come to this. I am very proud of my accomplishments as a professional nurse. If I ever feel like this, then it would be time for...
  9. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    Please tell me you are kidding? People really think a DNP is equivalent to a MD?? This is so embarrassing. I know many NP's personally some went to online schools (mostly post MSN) and some went to...
  10. I have 2 semesters to go at MVU in their AGNP program and I like their canvas application for students. If you read the syllabus, do the modules and required reading, you will pass. I am in the class...
  11. Equal work for Equal Pay

    I'm a nurse for 13 years and now a NP student. Physicians should always receive a higher salary. NP education and clinical requirements is no where near what physicians receive. Nursing lacks support...
  12. Cheating in an FNP program

    I have had open book tests that are just as hard as closed book. Maryville tests are timed so even if you did "cheat". , it wouldn't benefit you because the answers would be hard to find in such a...
  13. Cheating in an FNP program

    Maryville has 2 tests in pathophysiology that are proctored, and 2 that are not. I started this past January. The same is for pharmacology. I personally think its a good

  16. I actually entered into case management for reasons you mentioned. Prior to cm, I was an ER nurse working all kinds of shifts that did not work for me as a mom. I currently work from home for a major...
  17. All these NPs making less than RNs?

    I think for any RN that has already reached the top of their payscale, the beginning NP salary may not be too impressive depending on where they work and location. For someone that has been an RN for...
  18. I am currently in the process of applying to Maryville Post MSN FNP-C program. I think what concerns me the most is do they prepare you to be a good NP. I am choosing this route as well for family...

  22. Raising a family as a NP or an RN?

    it depends on the setting you choose to work in. clinics usually have better hours and acute care/hospital settings usually require weekends, holidays and on call. NP's that work in Walgreens and...
  23. I understand what you are saying, but I don't think you need years and years of bedside exxperience to be a good manager. Now that I have over 10 years experience, I see that it isn't necessary if...
  24. Career Change from Finance to Nursing

    I agree with the above post. Every career has its pros and cons. What is it that you don't like about your current job? Have you always wanted to be a nurse? And please research the nursing career...
  25. Facebook while on the clock?

    I have seen people get fired for using FB while at work. It depends on the hospital policy. I personally don't do it, but I think we are all adults and should use our best judgement in these...
