Hi! Does anyone take call as part of the job? I work as a hospitalist NP and we are extending into post acute care. NPs are being asked to take overnight call on the post acute patients. This is not part of our current compensation package. What is a...

Hello, I was just curious to see if you ended up going to USI? If so, how is it going?

Did anyone apply to University of Southern Indiana for fall 2010? I am waiting to hear and wondered if anyone else is too? Thanks!

I have read really good things on this forum about the school. I was unable to get in because I needed to have my BSN by the application deadline, which was Feb. 1, and I don't graduate until this May. The tuition rate is excellent, which was why I...

I never got that email. Now I'm kinda worried..

Do you feel you received a quality education? Did you feel you got the education you needed to practice as a NP? I am waiting to hear if I was accepted to 2 schools. One local, and one online. Cost is a big issue. The local university will cost 36t...

I am applying to ACNP programs, but does that mean that I will never be able to work outside the inpt setting? I am thinking someday I might want the outpt setting just not now? What are the thought on this? Is it possible to work outpt with the ACNP...

Those in this program, are you able to work while in it? It is not an option for me to just do school without working. How do you like USA? Any info would be great- I don't know where I should go to school! Thanks! Nikki

How do you send a private message? I would love to ask you more questions about the program, graceofone, but can't figure out how to send a message- Thanks, Nikki

Thanks for the info!

I will finish in May from University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. It's 385 per credit hours. You have to have 30 credit hours through them otherwise can take classes from other colleges, and transfer them in. I've enjoyed it. It's a pretty flexible progra...

I have been thinking of applying for fall 2010. Can you tell me how they described finding preceptors in your area?

Thanks for the info!

Jalexshoe, In the previous post it states you can't have a preceptor with someone you work for. I work with doctors at my hosptial, but not for them (like I'm exployed by the hosptial, not the dr). Can you use those drs as preceptors? Thanks, Nikki

Congrats! I was wondering if you could help me out, how do you like the program at St Louis University? I am thinking of applying to it, but need answers to questions... Thanks! Nikki

My focus is acute care nurse practitioner. There aren't many online programs for that focus. I'm just worried about finding preceptors since there is nothing close on USA's list. Also not working at all isn't an option for me so have some concerns...

Sure, I understand! One question I have is what made you choose USA? I am also looking at University of Southern Indiana, and I'm not sure which I would choose if accepted to both!

Those that started their MSN programs, how is it going, and any of them online programs? I'm planning to apply for summer or fall 2010

Thanks! I will just as soon as I get 15 posts! (just joined yesterday)

Thank you, Peaceful, for responding. What is your email address? I do other questions would you rather I emailed you personally?

Peaceful, I am thinking of applying to USA. Can you tell me if you live near there? I am in the midwest and al little nervous about living that far away from the college. Do you know if most are able to work in this np program? Any info would be g...
