NAURN

There is a lot of independent learning that is expected on your part. There are some live classroom sessions that are recorded if you can't be there live. There is a lot of group work involved. The push community and being involved with your classmat...

You will be notified of acceptance 6-8 weeks before your scheduled Frontier Bound date. They stick to this. Rarely do they send out notifications early. They did away with the phone interview, so you won't have one of those. Good Luck!

You are expected to find your own preceptors at FNU. You are assigned a regional clinical coordinator that can help you locate someone if u are having trouble. It varies greatly as far as difficulty finding a preceptor based on your location.... whet...

I would choose FNP, ACNP or there are programs that prepare more for the ER setting (not sure what sort of school or options are available to you). The ACNP only focuses on adults, and the ER sees kids so this may not be optimal. FNP trains you for t...

I agree that a hospitalist or ER position may be optimal if you are looking for night time hours. Possibly an after hours urgent care also.

I am starting an FNP program and plan to do it full time while working 3 12s a week.

Agree with CCRN... focus on being a nurse. It will be the most beneficial to you.

There are direct entry options, but most want you to have experience, and the length of experience required varies, usually 1-2 years.

I have an associate's degree and my GPA was 3.3... applied to one grad school (bridge program) and was accepted. I think grades are important, but definitely not everything. I think having a cumulative GPA 3.0 or better is a place to shoot. A lot of ...

There are many RN-MSN programs out there where the didactic work is done online. Depending on what you want to do with it from there depends on how clinical would work. I am attending Frontier Nursing Univ and all didactic work is online and my clini...

I applied to the one (and only one) that I felt was the best fit for me, and got in. My GPA was only 3.3. I think its important not to just go to the first school that accepts you, but to one that you feel is the best fit, and has a good track record...

For those of you already in the program, how are you managing financially? I am ready for that next step in my career, CRNA and NP being my options. With NP, I can at least still work full time during the didactic portion. With CRNA, the program seem...

6-8 weeks before Frontier Bound

Frontier does not have a GRE requirement IF your GPA is at or above 3.0

I would write it just as you said it. You are an attractive applicant because you do not have family and kids to juggle. I do, so in my essay I explained how specifically I planned on doing it, from childcare to cut back hours at work, etc. Support o...

You get notified of acceptance 6-8 weeks before the start of the term you apply for. You also may be placed on a wait list for the term you apply for, or be bumped to the next class if there is are too many qualified applicants to fit in one class.

3.0 to be exempt from having to take GRE... but I am pretty sure they want you to have at least a 3.0 anyways.

I am looking at online RN-BSN programs and looking at Western Governors University. Are there any tests that have to be taken at testing centers, or are they all done at your home? What if I have to take some of the general ed courses? Are these als...

There was an article in The Nurse Practitioner journal about this just this month. It said that it is very unlikely that this will happen by 2015 because of all the steps still needed to be taken, legislation to be changed, etc.

Frontier waives the GRE if GPA is at or above 3.0

Hi Tonie- I am also in Class 95. We have a private Facebook page where me, along with about 10 other classmates are together getting thru the pre bridge stuff together. You should join us. Frontier Class 95 Just ask to join and I will accept you!

I think this is definitely a question for the school... but my understanding is its your cumulative GPA from all pre-req's and nursing courses.

Good luck Mike! Glad your employer is being supportive!

That is definitely something to think about. You both are going to have to be on the same page. You are going to be working full time and going to school. Thats a huge commitment. But its only for a relatively short time compared to the rest of your ...

I think you should go for the NP thing, regardless of the job you take. If you don't want to do management, by all means DON'T DO IT! There are also master's options in management if that is a path you would want to take, but if you want to stay in p...
