Purchase a lab coat you like (male or female) and wear it. I was new NP and was the only one on my unit wearing a lab coat (I'm a female but I bought a male coat). I did not care. I kept is clean and hung it my office when I got warm. But I ALWAYS pu...

I am currently a Navy Nurse. If want any information on how it is, feel free to let me know.

Any luck joining?

Have u had any luck?

Hi Shara. I still work at the VA but not in Home Based Primary Care. I absolutely love the job. It was the best decision I made early on in my NP career. Meaning, I passed up jobs with higher paying offers and took the VA offer back in 2014. My ...

Have u had any success?

Anyone applied to and/or have heard from the University of South Alabama Psych NP for Masters or BSN-DNP online for Spring 2012? Anyone with experience with this program and would like to share info, network, etc. Please respond. Thank you

LubbockNP- tried calling you. No answer

I'm super happy for you! I just finished Vetpro last week (Thursday). I turned in my official transcripts and paper version Credentialing stuff this week (Monday), and I'm scheduled for my physical and fingerprinting this upcoming Monday. I just got ...

Wow, good luck to you! I know you're anxious.

That's no problem. To add a little more icing to the cake USA staff will provide every student starting clinicals an extensive list of NPs and Psychiatrists who volunteer to precept every year and/or who other students have used. The list is long, ac...

Yes. Clinical time was allowed whenever you and your preceptor agreed that it would be. A preformulated schedule of your days and hours-to-be must be given to your clinical advisor so that surprise site visits can occur. USA clinicals requires 50% i...

In the beginning, I was accepted to the University of Cincinnati's (UC) Adult Psych NP program & USA's BSN-DNP program. My UC admission was to begin in the Fall 2012 and finished before USA which I was admitted for the Spring 2013. At the time, U...

Yes I did. I worked fulltime. Lots of others did too. Your personal life will suffer. If you are able to incrementally decrease your time at the job, it will always help.. I changed to part time eventually (22 hrs/week) but only once clinicals began.

Hi Amtrak. Did you attend USA in the Spring of last year as you shared? Was just curious how things worked out for you. Thanks. lildrekie

Well, there is a Professor that has a particular style of doing things (in my opinion). The first time for any person with a new Professor is a challenge. You will have to learn their style. You conform or you'll have problems-it's very simple. This ...

mtsteelhorse: There will always be an opportunity to conduct Therapy as a PMHNP. It falls within the role od PMHNPs. Now ask me about Medicaid/Medicare and/or private insurance reimbursement for these services? (Very little if any) then ask about tim...

USA is a great school. I began this Thread as an eager student awaiting an acceptance or denial letter (of which I was accepted) now I'm a Board Certified Adult Psychiatric NP finishing up my Family Psych DNP at USA. I love the school, and feel I sh...

I am entering my 3rd semester in the Psych NP BSN-DNP program. I have to say to those of you interested: Do not let anyone talk you out of gathering your own experience of USA's online work. I have gained so much from this school and yes, my writing,...

Tiff, Nothing at will help you more than the required & recommended text in each class, except the APA book. You will need ONLY the format they tell you to buy & that exact edition. You will need to read it throughout. You'll even be tested o...

I work in New Orleans and the job market (from what I've heard) is though for new grads everywhere (in the U.S. that is). Therefore, you have to offer some things other new grads can't. Join a few professional organizations (ANA, ENA, etc.) for your ...

That's great tiff. The DNP was really good. Great info. Campus & bookstore is really nice. The work is challenging, especially if you work full-time. Your ability to write, APA format, nursing research, PDF files, and real world advanced practice...

Sure. 2-yrs full-time at Charge Nurse level.

mtsteelhorse, you may want to look at Home | University of Mississippi Medical Center and click on education at the top. Also, University of South Alabama Homepage and http://www.selu.eduI'm in the UC program as well and they have not disclosed what ...
