I'd prefer not to post too much information, but it is a specialty practice. I was given a VERY different version of how things would start the first couple of months (eg. severity of patients, amount of time booked per patient, the fact that each pt would be presented) and so I wanted to know the general experience of others. I see that it's a combination of factors, including poor clinical experience contributing to a lack of confidence. It is sink or swim. Thank you all for your replies!

Hello. I'm a new grad FNP and just started working about 1 month ago. I was able to shadow the MD one week prior to starting. When starting, I then saw my own patients and would present the cases to the MD so he could diagnose and create the plan. Now I am expected to be able to manage the simpler cases by myself . I take about half an hour per patient. I am constantly having to ask questions and find it very time consuming to look up things while the patients are waiting. I'm just wondering how other new grads were introduced into their new role. I feel unprepared.

Hello- information can be found on their website: http://www.miami.edu/sonhs/index.php/sonhs/academics/master_programs/family_np/admission/. I recommend getting all of your information in as early as possible. The GRE is not required for the program. I got in with a GPA of of 3.73, but I'm not sure what the min. GPA is. You could also call the school. I found them to very helpful and professional. Can anyone who has graduated from the program or anyone who is currently in the program tell me how they feel about it? It looks like a great school. My only concern is the cost. I went to a cheaper school to get my RN degree and I can honestly say that the quality of the nurse depends more on who they are then where they went. Is it the same for the NP program? I ask because I am undecided as to whether to go to FIU or UM. Thanks for the advice!!

Hi- I just got into their full time program. The interview was quite straight forward and seemed to just be a verification of your application. There weren't very many questions- Why FNP? Why UM? How do you view the future of the profession? How do you deal with different cultures? It was all pretty straight forward. Just be honest and go in with a positive attitude. I'm trying to decide between FIU and UMs FNP program. Can anybody offer any insight?! Thank you!!

I would also be careful about posting this stuff online...best of luck to you.

Hello! I was wondering if any FIU NP students could give me some insight! I've been accepted into UM and FIU's FNP programs. Due to cost, FIUs program is looking like the better option, but my only concern is that the school does not select preceptors for you and UM does. Have you FIU students had a difficult time finding preceptors? If so, would you say it is worth the extra cost to go to UM? Thanks for the replies!

congratz npachon! That's great news! When I had applied, they had told me that they did not offer it but I think now they only offer it once a year instead of two. Sorry for any confusion!

It's five semesters so if you start in January of 2012 you'll be an RN (with an associates) by like April or May 2013.

Thanks for all of the help everyone :) Also, do we really need the expensive stethescope? And is the rolling backpack necessary?

I'm exicted! What are we supposed to wear to class? And is anyone actually buying the shoes from the bookstore or just wearing white sneakers? Check your degree audits! Mine is a mess. There's several classes that I have taken that says have not been met and it states that I have completed some nursing classes lol.
