Hi. I am considering WGU leadership and management master's program and was wondering if anyone here has completed it or are currently enrolled?? Was wondering if you would recommend? I ask because I see both good and bad reviews on here however, the...

Hi. I am hoping to enter the program this Fall, but have a big question. My BSN gpa was 3.8. I had 2 B's my whole program, the rest A's. I tell this so you understand I am a good student and strive to achieve good grades. For me, patho is one of my w...

If you do a search of University of Southern Alabama, you will find they have a great reputation. There are many post on here regarding them. I am sure if you do a search, you will find DNP posts.

Hi everyone. I am starting my clinical in an ER which will cover regular adult ER, fast track ER and pediatrics on different days with my preceptor. My question is: What do you all think I should strive to take away from this clinical besides the obv...

Yes, I just had questions and was wondering about things. I am currently midway in their program. Starting Clinicals this month.

Microsoft word has where you can set it for APA 5th or 6th edition formatting. I use my book more for proper sentence structure for in text citation and for reference structure.

Are you willing to move? University of South Florida in Tampa,Fl is front loaded with theory, then clinical for their FNP program.

Hi all. I was wondering what kind of office products you used and how you used them in NP school. For example, index cards for study notes. What laptop and requirements on it. Laptop versus a ipad. Android phone versus an android tablet. Any thing yo...

What response do you give a patient who asks about a specific advertised drug? IF it is a treatment for a diagnosis of theirs? IF not appropriate? Was wondering.

For those in clinicals, do you recommend Ipad2, Ipad mini, or just a smart phone (Iphone or Android)? I start clinicals in the fall and want to know which would be better for apps helpful for clinicals. Thanks for any help.

Hi. Do you recommend a laptop or an ipad for NP school? Just wondering what you all think.

I was wondering if you all rent or buy your text? I am taking Health Promotions this fall and was thinking of renting the book. However, for patho, pharm, assess, I wanted to buy them to use as reference throughout my program. What is your opinion o...

I agree. FNP is generally what is advertised for and then it will add specialty info in the job description. I have a friend who is a FNP who has since graduation worked at a clinic for an OB/GYN and she does all his routine GYN visits. He trained he...

Is there a big difference in womens health? (My area doesn't have this concentration available) I know that jobs in my area are post for FNP and then in some descriptions of the job will say high level of female gynecological care. One job even poste...

First, even if a job isn't posted and you want to work say ER express care type jobs, you just contact the company that provides the physician services to the hospital near you. (At least here in Florida, most ER doctors,PA's and NP's are contracted ...

At the university I was accepted to, they offer fulltime and parttime. However, upon speaking with the program directed for my focus, she recommends only parttime. My question to you all is: I work 3 12-hour shifts a week, rest of week is just family...

Thanks for all your comments. I just wanted some feedback from those who have been through it some. I am thinking part time also. At my university, full time shaves a whole year off the program, but when it gets to clinicals it looks very challenging...

Thanks for all the wonderful information you all have placed on my thread. I appreciate each and everyone of your comments. I have decided that I want a laptop for my first semester and for Christmas, I want an ipad.

I applied to one school and I go to orientation tomorrow. Yeah, USF Tampa. Love it!!!

Hi everyone. I work in a large OR in a major trauma center. The buzz about me is that I would be good in management (not my buzz, other peoples). My question is this? What masters degree do you recommend that won't cost me an arm and a leg so to spea...

I had a positive titer years ago and when I started current job was negative. They gave me another round of injections and then another titer. Titer never said positive. The employee health MD said since I had a positive one in the past, if I were ex...

I think you need to take her questioning graciously as you may make a mistake sometime as you are human. I know as a RN, I frequently question doctors and NP's and often find they were not aware of something that imacts the order they were giving.

First, how "green" you are or are not does not make you good now or later. It is your personality. I have worked with nurses straight out of school who are awesome and I have worked with some with experience and their NP and they are so so. It is you...

Hi everyone. I am applying to 4 master's programs for January 2012. My question regarding whether I should go the NP route or the PA route is because I have recently been told that in some areas they prefer PA's because they get better reimbursement ...

Thank you so much for your response. The hospital I work at utilizes NP in the ER through the company that the MD are contracted with for ER. They also utilize NP and PA's for trauma services and recently they went with PA's over NP's and that was th...
