  1. Failed at 75!

    Cardiology EP NP replied to FutureUSRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the NLCEX today and it stopped at 75. I have to say I am truly unsure of whether I passed or failed. I had an awful feeling after having finished the test. I just hope that I didn't fail....

  2. ATI NCLEX Predictor?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to MIA-RN1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh, I guess I didn't do that bad then. I scored a 65% and that put me in the 95th percentile. I really don't think the ATI can accurately predict how well someone will do on the NCLEX. I disagree...

  3. ATI NCLEX Predictor?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to MIA-RN1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow! Congrats to you guys for doing so well on the ATI! I must have gotten some BAD EDUCATION! I think our program percentile ran in the 70s. I never scored in the 90s. I think the highest I got was...

  4. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Cardiology EP NP replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Glad to see everybody is enjoying their direct entry nursing programs. I am enrolled in on right now and I will be graduating in June. It's a lot of work but I really feel it's worth it, particularly...

  5. NP w/no desire for RN?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I personally think you would be better off to have at least some experience. I am actually finishing up a masters entry program right now. I do plan to work while I get my NP and I really that...

  6. ANP vs. FNP for cardiology?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It may be a good idea to get in touch with some cardiac NPs in your area in both the hospital and outpatient setting since the roles they play are quite different in both locations. Another good idea...

  7. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Cardiology EP NP replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Kim, what you have suggested is totally doable. I worked also when i took A&P (in a doctors office) and now I am enrolled in a direct entry program and I finish in June. I barely studied for the...

  8. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Cardiology EP NP replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sure you can share this info with whoever you think might benefit. I think you will find that with 3 courses in the fall, you will have more time to study for the harder classes. 430 is awesome in the...

  9. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Cardiology EP NP replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm really not sure what the attrition rate is at depaul. I just know that for our class, no one has dropped out at this point, not that I know of anyway. I think the year before there were a few...

  10. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Cardiology EP NP replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    18 credits is an awful lot for the fall quarter. for your first quarter you will have some very difficult courses. Pharmacology is ALOT of work. Some of our pharm lecture outlines were over 50 pages....

  11. ANP vs. FNP for cardiology?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm in IL so I can't help you there, sorry. I guess it may be a good idea to go the general route and then specialize, but you know I just gotta say something about that...Let's see now, do you really...

  12. ANP vs. FNP for cardiology?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think FNPs in the outpt setting are ok but don't quote me on that. MY boss said the nurse practitioners on our floor are trained as ANPs. Cardiac NPs at my hospital do alot. they go on rounds with...

  13. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Cardiology EP NP replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I attend Depaul's MSN direct entry program. I have one year left. Get ready folks for those of you who are starting. I would say it's pretty demanding. I just finished taking 4 classes over the course...

  14. ANP vs. FNP for cardiology?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lately, I have heard differently about which direction to go for the cardiac NP. Since the FNP is the most popular program, there are more FNPs out there than any other type of NPs so hospitals and...

  15. PA vs. NP in CHICAGO

    Cardiology EP NP posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi folks! I have a question. I am in the process of doing some research on midlevel providers in the chicagoland area. I know very little about this so I'm hoping some of you could offer me some...

  16. A few questions :)

    Cardiology EP NP replied to myoung's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was actually in your same boat about 8 months ago or so. I had applied to PA school and interviewed, however I was not too impressed with the facilities at the school. I decided on entering a...

  17. College of Dupage for pre-reqs

    Cardiology EP NP replied to chiliwings's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I went to COD for some of my pre-reqs. Didn't have the best experience there. My anatomy teacher was unreasonable and tested us on material he never covered in class. I didn't like my micro teacher...

  18. offrered position at Condell Hospital rate??

    Cardiology EP NP replied to medsurgrn's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I actually used to work for Condell, although not as a nurse. From what I hear that hospital has such a bad reputation. They are trying to improve people's perception of it, but I don't know. I know...

  19. NP's in the ER???

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Hopegirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work at Loyola Medical center in chicago and here they hire NP's in many areas of the hospital such as NICU, Amb surg., Hepatology, and not to mention the floor I work on which is telemetry and the...

  20. NP education - a rant

    Cardiology EP NP replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that one should have experience before becoming an NP. I don't doubt that at all. However, for myself personally, I don't feel like I need to work as an RN for 10 years before I become an NP....

  21. "Generic" MSN program??

    Cardiology EP NP replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh, that's ok traumaRUS. I understand. Yea I would imagine ER is very competitive, even among the docs too. I knew of one dr who was trying to get an ER job out of state. It took them months to...

  22. "Generic" MSN program??

    Cardiology EP NP replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I really think it depends on where you work in IL as an NP. I work with an NP in a large peds office and she has alot of autonomy. To me she's got a great job. She sets her own schedule and does...

  23. "Generic" MSN program??

    Cardiology EP NP replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is interesting. Normally for a nursing program, all they want is 1 semester of gen chem and 1 semester of org chem for a BSN program anyway. If that is the school you really want to attend then I...

  24. "Generic" MSN program??

    Cardiology EP NP replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am going to be starting a generic MSN program this fall at Depaul university in Chicago. In order to be accepted, you have a have a bachelors in anything. They also look for chemistry and A&P....

  25. ACCELERATED PRGMS...where should I do my pre-reqs?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to KatieN326's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Katie, I would advise taking your prereqs at any accredited junior college. Just make sure that you do very well in these courses. Anatomy and Physiology is extremely important as a prereq for...
