What is this DNP thing for NPs?

So I guess it doesn't matter if you earn an ASN from Excelsior and then go for the BSN; will a hospital then still hire that nurse?

Thank you Stevefl for your response, I greatly appreciate it.

I would like to know if they are any Excelsior graduates in Florida? If so, was it difficult to find a job? Is Florida hiring Excelsior graduates?

Pregnancy doesn't make anybody dumber. You might not be able to concentrate, but you will get over that. Just wait til after you have the baby and try again.

I'm so glad that they now have a testing site in Florida. Makes it so much easier.

If an individual has a job promised to them after graduation and its a gurantee then they can go for it. But if there's no money, how will this individual pay the money back? People lose their jobs sometimes without expecting it too, which makes it hard to pay a monthly installment.

You have to be careful, because some of these schools may be considered only career colleges. So check with each individual school, like to if universities take their credits or not. Some privates schools are not accepted. Maybe if you go to another private school, they might not have a problem with it.

Its true they admit you with just those prereqs. Then in order to obtain your AS, you would complete those courses. But yes, Broward College isn't that hard to get into. Are you an LPN?

But these little private schools don't have semesters like a traditional college. They're over-priced and plus they have it where you have to take out the loan for the entire school year. Do they cancel these loans? After taking the loans, do they return the remaining amount back to the lender? Why is there a monthly payment after financial aid? These schools are too expensive versus the time (only a few months compared to a two or four year college). Its not such a good deal. Is best to go to a community college where you get your monies worth. If nest semester you cannot attend for whatever apparent reason, you just don't register.

Well, that's precisely the point. If one takes out a loan that means the individual has no money in the first place. Just because you take out doesn't mean you have money. If you have to take out loans you have no business going to a particular school.

Thanks for that info. Just wasn't sure, but its good for me.

Someone told me yesterday that students are getting kicked out of these schools due to nonpayment of monthly installments. If they miss three payments, they're out of the program-eventhough they already took out loans. This is insanity! :uhoh3::uhoh3::uhoh3: What is your opinion on this?

Thanks! I don't mind the wait, because that will give me time to prepare. So if there's a 7-8 months wait, that means the alot of people in Florida are jumping on the bandwagon. That's music to their ears!

Does anyone know if there are any cpne testing sites in Florida?

Yeah, I agree. College is so different; at least you can record the lectures.

I don't think its a conspiracy, but a way to make money.

And I'm sorry too, I don't want you to be upset, but its the truth. Many people are struggling.

To get us to go to school and accumulate debt=student loans. Notice how all of sudden there are schools all over the place offering nursing. And these schools know what time it is.

I know, because that's all I've been hearing. I've been applying and not one call back; and I have experience.

Because there is a lack of jobs. Do you think that people are making up these stories up? This is a real bad situation we have going on here. Congress is debating right now about if they should raise the debt ceiling or should the U.S. default on their debts. The dollar could crash any moment; and there could be a food shortage in the near future. So if that person found a job, they should consider themselves fortunate that they could still put food on the table.

I agree!

Thanks for the info.

So you only used the studygroup 101 notes and you passed? Did you read any textbooks?

Congratulations!
