the first semester is totally doable with work. Almost everyone in my program worked the entire time throughout the entire program. I worked full time and still picked up extra shifts here and there, so you will be fine. The school leaves it to you to find your own clinical sites, but they have a huge list of places(broken down by each state) that are already approved to have students and have had them in the past, so you will probably be able to set them up pretty easy.

What's funny is my friend and I both graduated from Wayland. I graduated like three years ago, and he graduated like 6 months ago. We were both in the online classroom portion. We did clinicals on campus, but all our didactic was online. It was so funny, because they always were blaming the online group for their low nclex pass rate, but the pass rate from mine and his class was 100%. There were only like 10 or so in each of the online groups, and we all nailed it. They have some issues with their on campus program. I would check other places.

What part fo Idaho? I am from Twin Falls and I graduate from Samford's FNP frogram in may. IT is a great program and the teachers are awesome. Plus they actually have a lot of clinical sites already set up in idaho. Good luck

I love Nursing. I graduated in october and took the NCLEX. I am currently enrolled in an FNP program and I am working on night a week in the ED. I still practice as a chiropractor and make good money, but the better thing is since i have started working in the ED, I am getting referrals from them for back pain and headaches. Plus one of the Docs now knows I am a pretty competent guy and sent me two PI cases this week with the films in hand from the hospital. It is going well and I have only been there since the beginng of december

I'm in twin falls

Just got accepted for the Spring Anp/GNP program. Noticed there were a couple of you here so feel free shoot me an e-mail and we can coordinate on questions and help each other out. [email protected].

It is an online program (the online generic BSN) you do it whenever and have tests you take online. I did most mine nights and weekend. This has all the info. http://www.sa.wbu.edu/bsn/OnLineBSN.htm

once you are accepted you start the nursing classes, but you have to finish your other classes as well. You have 3 or 4 semesters to finish all your lacking prereq's or they won't let you go on till they are done. I just did them at the same time and yes I worked full time it just provided for some late nights.

All my sciences were done. They said i needed another history class, another english, poly science, and religion.... I used i think speedyprep.com for test prep. I am deciding between UAB or SLU for the FNP. Samford was screwy when we were talking with them so we don't trust them. Plus they are changing the program and making it longer.

I had 27 credits of prereqs left to do when I started (don't get me started on that crap) but I clepped out of a lot of them and squeezed them in along the way.

All my rotations were in san antonio.

graduate from waylands BSN program this weekend. The program was okay. The travel sucked, and the program wasn't cheap, but me and the other guys in the program start our FNP courses in january. So things are looking good. Another 18-20months then we are nurse practitioners.

What are your feelings with regards to how the program is run. Is it pretty straightforward with regards to the stuff you study is the stuff you are tested on? Is it more tests or papers and assignments? I am applying for next year and would like some info... Have you found the staff and instructors helpful or do they take forever to acknowledge you exist?

a 160K for a chiro degree is ridiculous. I love helping people, but it isn't worth that much. I have a big practice and i consulted for a practice management company for years, but i got i arguments all the time about the state of our profession. IT isn't the dawning of a new day in wellness care. It is the end of the line. The schools are robbing us blind and leaving us with a degree that is insanley tough to market. I truely think that in ten years chiropractic will be a branch of physical therapy. PT's will start adjusting, then they will already have thebuilt in network of referrals and off they go... I love the nursing program, and I would love to have a CRNA program close enough, but I love the Np's i have shadowwed and it is a little more rewarding.

ther program is very doable. I worked full time and did some part time consulting on the side the first couple semesters and Still got it done. It is hard at the beginning if you have a lot of prerequisites to do. I had 24. Most people have a lot to do, because they require religion, and extra english, and more government and history than most bachelors programs required. I cleped out of a lot of them. So look at that option. As far as the clinicals. The first semster clinicals are a joke because you are at a nursing home, and you are feeding people and wiping butts. After that I have been in the ICU and med/surg ,ED rotations. I got a lot of experience and knowledge in those. It depends on what you put in it.
