U of A also has a nurse faculty loan program that if you agree to teach 4 years after graduation they will pay off 80% of your student loans.

The school has Western Regional Graduate Program which if you live in a western state or Hawaii you will get in state tuition. Which is 8,000/semester right now. If I had it to do over again I probably would have got my MSN and then went back one c...

There are students who have just 1 year of experience and some others in the DNP or PhD program who are only 24 years old. I would still encourage you to apply.

How did you like UMASS Boston? I completed 2 courses there as electives and enjoyed it. I took the Psychosocial Mental Health across the lifespan course and another nursing course. Did you like your experience?

I’m in the BSN-DNP. One great thing is they allow you to do the Dual DNP/Phd which requires about 5 extra courses and an 18 units minor. I love the school and the programs. I think you would enjoy it. Which professor is it that you see. I would sugge...

Have you tried contacting the board of nursing in WI and ask them the best method of going about this?

I think one of the most important thing is to get this situation documented. Our current facility has a corporate hotline that you can call and HR has no choice to follow up on this matter. This matter makes a hostile work environment and unfortunat...

There is a difference actually in a ASN and a ADN. A nurse with an ADN is just that, they passed the requirements of their Associate degree to fulfill the requirement to sit for nursing licensure. The ASN, an associate of science in nursing, usually...

I’m an ICU nurse and this issue is usually always over staffing and money. We have doctors so eagerly to place a patient in the ICU at my facility that either the ICU or nurse manager always goes and evaluates. Maybe the the BP is low but is the pati...

I was accepted to USA's BSN-DNP (FNP/ACNP) program and turned them down after they never replied to my emails. This is never a good sign for a school. Plus in US NEWS and World report their ranking dropped from 115 to like 295. I asked them what this...

Everyone in the group, I just talked on the faculty track directors and was told they evaluated all the applications this past week. Good luck to all.

I just got accepted to the BSN-DNP dual ACNP/FNP program for fall 2011. If you haven’t noticed USA has moved in their ratings from 115 to well over 200 this year by US News and World Reports. I’ve heard so many bad things about their program that I’v...

I've looked at U.S. News and Reports on NP schools but ACNP schools are not listed. They have about 10 APN NP specialties but not ACNP. Does anyone know if there is a rating for ACNP schools? I'm trying to find the best ACNP schools to apply too. Any...

An Acute and Continuing Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP) is a nurse who is prepared in a master’s or doctoral program to practice in an advanced nursing role in a variety of acute or critical care settings. ACNPs are clinical experts who provide care t...

In Nursing more schools are including dual specializations. Such as Emergency NP with ACNP/FNP certification and training. FNP- Allows you to see all populations ACNP- Allows you to work with more ACUTE patients and are preferred in hospitals as an...

Try the RODP by Regent's online. They let you choose from several University's as a home university in the state of Tennessee and is the cheapest program I have ever found. http://www.rodp.org/degree-programs-courses/masters/master-science-nursing/...

Technically, years of experience does tend to win out. However, most positions postings tend to state: BSN preferred and my hospital hires a BSN over an associate degree nurse every time. I think this will be the same in the future of NP practice. ...

I’ve been accepted into the University of Arizona’s DNP, Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program. Can you tell me how to look for clinical placement, what I should be doing in clinicals or focusing on, and how to find a good Preceptor in my area. I liv...

How many times must you attend campus?

The only negative thing about Vanderbilt's program is they require the GRE and a bit more travel than most distance accessible programs.

I would check into the accelerated MSN for non nurses. It's faster and you usually get your Nursing license before you graduate after about a year.

The problem I have with the higher degree including BSN, MSN, DNP, PhD is that they are getting further from the beside and patient care and more into “theory” and “research”. I’m finishing up my BSN now and there is nothing helpful that you learn yo...

Not at all...I've never seen anything like it.

I love being a nurse but I don't particularly like my job. The cleaning up people's ****, even while the have it from head to toe, and decide to take the initiative to pee over the side of the bed onto the floor is the easy part. The paperwork is eve...

If you lie on your application your job has a right to fire you at any given time. Even 5 years down the road if they want to because they could find out you falsified information on your application.
