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 all of the DNP programs allow this or is this just ...

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, but this is getting pretty ridiculous. I understan...

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 don't like that who cares thats their problem. You...

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 is a pulmonologist and one is a Gastroenterologis...

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 inspiring. I will be done this december God willing....

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 message board and insult nurses by saying things l...

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 assessments. My first rotation is women's health. It's...

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 still look good on your resume as an APRN and hold th...

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 that grades weren't much of a factor when I graduate...

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 if he got a bsn after that it probably would only h...

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 way to obtain this role without supervisory experi...

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 the psych/mental health specialty even though they...

does anyone know how much average starting pay is for FNP in TN?

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 will the DNP new grads have a better chance at obtai...

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 her life such as school activities etc. You may be t...

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 have won them over with my goal statement. Either way...

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 practice and care for women's health issues (pregna...

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 are for or against the DNP and the pros and cons bo...

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 fairly young and anticipate over 30 years of practici...

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 me that many of the distance programs had a few vi...

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 just so I can see what it is like before I dive int...

thats why i feel like i am at a disadvantage doing an online program. No models to practice on. bummer.

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 about spring hill. Hendersonville is middle of th...

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 taxed.

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 weekends so with shift diff i ended up at about $34/h...
