  1. DNP Clinical Hours

    Le-Lee_FNP posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello everyone. I am researching post-masters DNP programs and noticed that Frontier offers an option where your place of employment can be counted toward your clinical hours. I am just wondering if...

  2. So...What exactly am I paying YOU for???

    Le-Lee_FNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Okay so I know that it was my choice to attend my FNP program online and maybe I don't have the right to complain, or perhaps I should have checked into the details of the program prior to enrolling,...

  3. Why is it so hard to find a preceptor?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to WRNCEN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well people can feel that online learning is inadequate all day long, but the bottom line is if you pass ANCC or AANP then you are competent as deemed by the National certification Gods. So if people...

  4. Primary Care vs Specialty

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to Georgia RN03's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will probably be in a similar situation when i graduate in december. I currently work in ICU and have gotten many unofficial offers from some of the MDs i work with to come join their practices. One...

  5. Question about reference books?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to reeya's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Reeya. i don't have advice, i'm sorry but i just wanted to say congrats on your first NP job. I remember you posting a lot while still in school and seeing you make it to the finish line is very...

  6. Why is it so hard to find a preceptor?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to WRNCEN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am just wondering if you have a nursing backround at all? This is ALLNURSES.com not allmedicalstudents.com You have your opinion and that's fine but when you as a medical student come on a nursing...

  7. Did you feel prepared for clinicals?

    Le-Lee_FNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I am starting to get nervous because I am starting clinicals in the fall. Since my program is online, I have not had any hands on experience performing health histories, physicals, or advanced...

    Le-Lee_FNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello everyone, I am just wondering if anyone could give me their opionions regarding certifications and if they are useful or not for NPs who are new graduates looking for jobs. Do certifications...

  9. Do grades matter when applying for a job as a New Grad?

    Le-Lee_FNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry if this may sound like a stupid question. Just wondering for all the NPs out there if the grades you obtained during school made an impact on your marketability for jobs as a new grad? I know...

  10. Can you really become an NP in 4 years from scratch?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to J-Swish's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are one year MSN NP programs for BSNs. Vanderbilt offers them in many specialties. If he is an accountant I assume he already has a Bachelors of some sort. An ADN only takes 2 years to get. so...

    Le-Lee_FNP posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get into a nursing management role. I have been a nurse for 3 years and would like to start off as a supervisor, but am wondering what is the easiest...

  12. I'm an ADN. Can I Become a NP-Psych? What's the Route?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If the school that you want to attend does not offer a psych specialty for FNP then I would look into checking the requirements for where you want to work. I know some adult NPs and FNPs that work in...

  13. Do FNP's really make 80k to 90k a year?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to mariposabella's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  14. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    Le-Lee_FNP posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There has been a lot of talk about the possible saturation of the NP market as well as that of other advanced practice nursing roles (CRNA for example) and I am just wondering if this is true, then...

  15. Working throughout a NP program?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to jamesy7's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with the above poster that your child will be less likely to remember you being in school when she is so young. however if you were to wait til she is older, you'd be likely to miss more of...

  16. So I got rejected from NP school...

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to ChristineAdrianaRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will PM you the name of the school I am attending. My Undergrad GPA was a 3.3 which I don't think is very competitive at all for graduate school. I am however an excellent writer and think I may...

  17. WHNP vs FNP

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to MelRN13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Women's health is covered in FNP education. I imagine that it isn't covered as in depth as it would be in a WHNP program, however it is covered to the point where a FNP could comfortably enter into...

  18. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thank you for answering my question. I was wondering if this post would spur another MSN vs DNP debate which is not what I intended. Nurses are pretty passionate about their opinions of whether they...

  19. Will DNPs be chosen over MSNs?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Just to clarify, I am well aware that experience supersedes education and that if a new grad DNP had to compete with a MSN with 10 plus years experience, their would be no comparison. However I am...

  20. Did you feel prepared for clinicals?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think the program mislead me. I think it was my own lack of knowledge. I researched many programs before decided on one. The one i chose was the one I could start the quickest. It appeared to...

  21. Did you feel prepared for clinicals?

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was thinking about either asking my own personal OBGYN if I could shadow him for a day, or calling around to other women's health places to see of an OBGYN or Women's Health NP would let me shadow...

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  23. UPDATED nashville new grad pay

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to hbgwan's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    You will get the most bang for your buck in Murfreesboro and Mount Juliet. Brentwood and Franklin are the most expensive (but will still be a huge savings for you coming from chicago). Don't know much...

  24. UPDATED nashville new grad pay

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to hbgwan's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    i also forgot to add that there is no state income tax in TN. There was where I'm from originally, but for me it is a wash because they tax food here, and where I'm from food was not

  25. UPDATED nashville new grad pay

    Le-Lee_FNP replied to hbgwan's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'll pipe in here because I moved to the nashville area two years ago from wisconsin. I started out working as a new grad in wisconsin and base pay for an RN was around $22-23/hr. I did nights and...
