  1. Anyone thinking about Frontier in the near future??

    NAURN replied to NAURN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I live in North GA by the way. :) Also, you are going for CNM right? I would look and see what CNMs are in your area. There are definitely a ton more NPs in my area than CNMs so it might be a little...

  2. Anyone thinking about Frontier in the near future??

    NAURN replied to NAURN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I don't have a preceptor in stone yet.... I haven't been officially accepted yet (will find out in a couple of weeks) but I do have some leads. 20% of your hours can be with an MD, and I have an MD...

  3. Anyone thinking about Frontier in the near future??

    NAURN replied to NAURN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I plan on working and going to school full time to start out. You are allowed to change your status once, so if it gets to be too much I will cut back to part time. As far as their tests, from what I...

  4. Frontier School of Midwifery

    NAURN replied to NurseB_'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    OH I did read their catalog and their tests are done at home, on secure browser (to cut down on cheating, but you do sign a honesty statement in the beginning) and there is a test at the end that has...

  5. Frontier School of Midwifery

    NAURN replied to NurseB_'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have applied for the Fall 2011 FNP and I have heard nothing but great things. I can't tell you about the classes or the course load, but have heard of many that have worked and done the program...

  6. Premed, then BA in Business...best route to NP?

    NAURN replied to MILOBRI's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Had you not already started your ADN, I was going to say a lot of your pre med classes probably would have transferred well for the PA program. But since nursing is what you've chosen, I would...

  7. NP...doing the right thing?

    NAURN replied to Babbott72's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am an RN, will be (hopefully) starting my FNP program this fall. The thing with FNPs, is their practice "rules" are different in every state. Many states have complete independence where they need...

  8. Critical Care Training?

    NAURN replied to singleumm's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry... I have a lot of advice... You can also ask your ICU (or if its online you can look them up yourself) and look at policies regarding different drips and procedures they do. You can also (if...

  9. Critical Care Training?

    NAURN replied to singleumm's topic in General Nursing

    OH and also, go ahead and get your ACLS and your PALS. You will learn a lot with that and its also a requirement to have that working in an

  10. Critical Care Training?

    NAURN replied to singleumm's topic in General Nursing

    Ask what your hospital offers... if they have a tele unit, more than likely they have a telemetry class. I took one at the hospital I work at (did not have any tele experience really when I stated...

  11. Definetely going NP... but Family Practice or Mental Health?

    NAURN replied to rynophiliac's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If Psych is what you love, do that! I don't know the details about owning your own practice or what not, but you have to decide what YOU want. If you like the business aspect and the idea of owning a...

  12. LPN seeking NP

    NAURN replied to Crystal, LPN's topic in Advanced Practice

    There are ADN-MSN programs out there but there are not many of them. Had I known this was what I wanted to do, I would have got my BSN right off the bat. I would go for your BSN that way its all out...

  13. Masters degree then FNP/DNP?

    NAURN replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You will probably be talking a lot more money and time in order to go from one master's to another. I would just take some undergrad or grad courses to increase your overall GPA, then once your GPA is...

  14. BSN to DNP

    NAURN replied to Heidi the nurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You have to be a licensed RN to get into any of these programs. MSN or DNP. You MAY be able to apply pending your NCLEX, but that would be up to the school. Also, a lot of MSN programs are requiring...

  15. Retake sciences, take grad courses or both?

    NAURN replied to TxNurseRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    They are going to want to see a solid foundation is all science courses. If you have less than a 3 in any of them, I would retake them. The graduate courses wouldn't be necessary, but I suppose it...

  16. Travel Nursing and Licenses

    NAURN replied to psycheab's topic in General Nursing

    Having a license in a compact state is ideal, because then you have many options for states to work in. Otherwise, you have to apply and get a license just like everyone else, and usually the travel...

  17. experienced nurse with anxiety on the job

    NAURN replied to SFDRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 5 years and still suck at IVs! I work in an ICU too! It is just not a skill that I am very good at. But I am surrounded by nurses who are excellent sticks and I either have...

    NAURN replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Just saw a post on Frontier's Facebook page that the 2012 calendar is

  19. I am going crazy on making a decision!!

    NAURN replied to Melody007_FNP-C's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you go for CNM, Frontier is "known" for their midwifery program so I would definitely consider them especially for that... although I have applied for the FNP program. Their CNM program is what...

  20. Frontier in 2012

    NAURN replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    For those who are applying next year, just a word of caution, they are known for closing down applications early when they exceed the amt of qualified applicants. This has happened a couple of times...

  21. I am going crazy on making a decision!!

    NAURN replied to Melody007_FNP-C's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have applied to Frontier for the fall. I am going to go for my FNP... and all the research I have done, you don't need extensive experience in any one area to do any of the NP options. Obviously if...

  22. Need help understanding an insulin drip

    NAURN replied to KD CVICU-RN's topic in Critical Care

    We use endotool as well, and some of the drs choose not to use the d10... actually the majority of them. For DKA, you need to feed the body insulin to correct the problem, so there is a reason for...

  23. Future fall 2011 fnp students

    NAURN replied to missvictoriat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have applied to Frontier for the Fall, but I will not find out until late June whether I am in or not. As far as what I am doing to prepare, I have already filled out my fasfa. If you haven't done...

  24. Nursing job prospects??

    NAURN replied to Vtfairy's topic in General Nursing

    There is still a nursing shortage here in GA.... I could go anywhere around me and pick a place. I just happen to like where I work. :) As far as your goal for CNM... I am currently at that point in...

    NAURN replied to NP-OnMyOwn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can understand that the OP was trying to just put it out there to other perspective students her perspective of this particular program. I mean heck, I want to know everything there is to know about...
