  1. Working as a staff nurse when an APRN?

    NAURN replied to mochamonster's topic in Advanced Practice

    We have a nurse that works as an NP in one hospital and works PRN as a nurse at my hospital. It seems to work well for her and allows her to earn some extra

  2. RN-FNP Online

    NAURN replied to ginceasar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Heidi- Frontier would have 2 required campus visits (3 if you are doing the ADN-FNP which you're not)...one is at the beginning called Frontier Bound and it is 3-4 days (I can't recall off the top of...

  3. How much debt is reasonable for NP school?

    NAURN replied to junipers's topic in Advanced Practice

    Frontier (I estimated) will cost about $30-35K total with books and technology. There are cheaper options for me, including a state school I can go to for about $18K one I get in the graduate work but...

  4. RN-FNP Online

    NAURN replied to ginceasar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Frontier's program is 57 credits. The semesters are 12 weeks long year round with a week off inbetween semesters. I am not sure if the fact they have shorter terms makes them have to have more...

  5. NP classes

    NAURN replied to Soon2bFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have my associate's degree, so the program I will be hopefully getting into is an ADN-FNP where the first year is bridge work... I have to do that full time to get it all done in the year allotted...

  6. Sedation..Your thoughts?

    NAURN replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in MICU, SICU

    We use up to 75mcg/kg/min on the propofol... and sometimes that doesn't even keep the pt comfortable. It really depends on the pt and the problem... if you have a pt is full blown ARDS, the idea is to...

    NAURN replied to blufoxtrot's topic in MICU, SICU

    Congrats! I have been an ICU nurse for 4 years and I love it. I think your best bet is make the most of your orientation. You will learn the most from hands on, learning the particular protocols,...

    NAURN replied to Soon2bFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

  10. NPs- How well prepared did you feel?

    NAURN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have applied to Frontier's ADN-FNP class for fall. I have been a nurse for 5 years, 4 of which have been in ICU. I am having a hard time comprehending in my mind how NP school will prepare me to be...

    NAURN replied to cadensmom2010's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have applied to Frontier. All didactic courses are online. There are 2-3 required trips to campus, however, in Hyden KY, depending on if you have an ADN or BSN. It is highly rated. There are lots of...

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

    Hi everyone. I have also applied to Frontier for Aug 2011 (class 92) but for the FNP. I was just going to invite all of you to come over to the facebook page (there is a discussion board).... there...

  14. Future fall 2011 fnp students

    NAURN replied to missvictoriat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I applied to Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing for the fall (FNP). I applied months ago and won't find out until mid-late June. I am doing nothing to prepare! LOL Trying to enjoy my kids...

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

    NAURN replied to NAURN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I live in North GA so there are not a lot of universities saturating the options up here. At Frontier, you arrange your own clinicals, and have them approved by the school. I know some Drs and NPs in...

  16. unit secretary?

    NAURN replied to meghan91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unit secretaries often answer call lights, phones, put in orders (if they are not CPOE), make charts for new pts, etc. They also make phone calls for doctors and nurses, put out pages, etc... but 3-11...

    NAURN replied to wnb4's topic in General Nursing

  18. Choosing a Master's program

    NAURN replied to Mamakellyd's topic in Nursing Career

    I have applied to Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing for my FNP. They also have a doctorate program as well, if I choose to do so. It is mostly online, with a couple of trips to campus....

  19. RN-BSN, or RN-MSN??

    NAURN replied to jazzybee43's topic in Nursing Career

    I have an associate's too and have been struggling with this as well. Most of the RN-MSN programs do not offer a BSN... this is not a problem if you finish. If you don't finish, or quit part way...

  20. Not sure what to do ??HELP

    NAURN replied to Sandy77's topic in Nursing Career

    I am not Canadian so I can't give you advice as to where. When I did nursing school, I also had to pay bills and work so I took a weekend position as a CNA... it paid more because it was on weekends...

  21. Should I apply for all the units... or just my first choice?

    NAURN replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in Nursing Career

    Definitely choose more than one, like previous posted recommended, not more than 3. There's nothing wrong with this. No sense putting all your eggs in one basket and not getting the spot. Do make it...

  22. Would you take the transplant coordinator position?

    NAURN replied to ~Transplant Nurse~'s topic in Nursing Career

  23. Can a DirectEntryNP stay self-employed FOREVER?!

    NAURN replied to GirlCaptain's topic in Nursing Career

    Most NP schools want you to have at least one year experience as an RN... I think this is reasonable. I have applied for NP school. I have 5 years RN experience, 4 of which are in ICU and I even worry...

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

    NAURN replied to NAURN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    MorningLight- I also looked at Emory and although it would be a great experience, I can not justify 17,000 a semester when Frontier's whole ADN-MSN program is going to cost me around 30K. I believe...

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

    NAURN replied to NAURN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi Kelly! I do have a couple of questions if you don't mind. Are you working during the program? If so, full time or part time? Do you plan on doing the program full time after the bridge year? How is...
