    Reputable but fairly priced online FNP

    SlyFoxRN replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Maryville and South = for-profit ISU = forces 3 year part time Georgetown = too expensive. I'll look at U Cincinatti, I hadn't heard of it.

    Are NP online degree frowned upon?

    SlyFoxRN replied to ickc22's topic in Advanced Practice

    The np certification exam is a joke, especially ancc. That's likely why graduates from for profit achools elect to take it over the more clinical based aanp exam (and also tend to fail the aanp exam)....

    Are NP online degree frowned upon?

    SlyFoxRN replied to ickc22's topic in Advanced Practice

    96% acceptance to me, means they take anyone willing to pay even if they can tell from past academic performance and essays that they are not cut out for graduate work and will likely fail. That says...

    Reputable but fairly priced online FNP

    I'm looking for an MSN-NP program - I'm sorry, to clarify I meant fully online EXCEPT clinicals, which I would obviously do nearby in my own

    Are NP online degree frowned upon?

    SlyFoxRN replied to ickc22's topic in Advanced Practice

    Medical schools have been around for hundreds of years, and yet there is a total of ONE for-profit medical school in the entire country, and many physicians and pre-meds are quite unhappy about that...

    NP Programs that Provide Preceptors

    SlyFoxRN replied to diana_lopez's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Finding your own means you practice where and how you want. It means you also get to work in an area possibly not used to seeing new students constantly, so less competition if they decide they want...

    Should I have my name changed on my original license as well as registration?

    SlyFoxRN replied to ekramona's topic in General Nursing

    Well I guess we just see things different and thays okay. In this modern day, it seems a bit archaic and sexist to assume a man is always head of the household. I understand you think it doesn't work...

    SlyFoxRN replied to ekramona's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to do it, then no one's judging you. Some people just find it odd. Like, the woman goes through 9 months of pregnancy and hours of painful labor, yet the kids take dads name? A woman goes...

    SlyFoxRN replied to ekramona's topic in General Nursing

    lol - I'm going to assume a woman who isn't interested in changing her name also wouldn't have much in common with a man who INSISTS his wife take his name. A man who forces his wife to take his name...

    ER or Urgent Care After Hours Clinic? New grad.

    SlyFoxRN replied to Tiff622's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    $4 less per hour than the hospital?? They are offering an RN $16.50 an hour??

    SlyFoxRN replied to ekramona's topic in General Nursing

    I understand, I just don't think it's fair that the expression of commitment is a woman giving up her identity for a man 99% of the time. Hyphenating or creating a new name together would be an EQUAL...

    Credibility of Walden University

    SlyFoxRN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There's a huge difference in paying top professors a lot of money vs shareholders. Yes, some professors make a ton of money in private, top colleges - these people are at the top of their field and...

    wouldn't it be easier

    SlyFoxRN replied to mvm2's topic in General Nursing

    1. I think BSNs are very important beyond just increased patient safety. They make the field of nursing look more professional. Requiring a 4 year college degree to practice as an RN makes it look...

    Random question: Would you wear a $300 watch to work

    SlyFoxRN replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

    $300 is cheap for a watch...I wear a $2000 Movado watch to work, and I have no problems wiping it with alcohol is needed.. I'd rather do that than wear a cheap watch..I'm a watch

    PACU or ED for CRNA

    Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

    SlyFoxRN replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

    I hate 12 hour shifts. It makes getting out of bed miserable because you know the only thing you get to do today is go to work, come home, and go to bed. There's no personal time after work, which...

    Extra clinical hours?

    SlyFoxRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was wondering if anyone knows if you can do extra clinical hours during an NP program? I'm contemplating becoming an ACNP to work in an ED/urgent care one day, but if I can't find an ED job soon I...

    SlyFoxRN replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you so much for this post. It's so typical on allnurses for people to just flame and attack, with harsh posts because people don't do things their way. You validated my point of view, but then...

    That's a bummer if true. I'd really like to have about double the clinical hours that most NP programs

    PACU or ED for CRNA

    SlyFoxRN replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well you're wrong that its not critical care, and you're wrong that ICU is required. In my research since my post I have found numerous programs that say they accept PACU and ED. The Cleveland clinic...

    How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    SlyFoxRN replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    Why does everyone think that if you don't want to clean poop you shouldn't be an NP!? As I said, physicians become providers without a desire to clean up poop. I know A LOT of very bright minds,...

    SlyFoxRN replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    Good advice is helping out your fellow nursing students! Then they will help you clean up your patients too and that will make it go by much faster. You also have someone to talk to to get your mind...

    How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    SlyFoxRN replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    I strongly disagree that one needs to do the "dirty work" to be a good NP. An NP is a provider. It is education and skills that make a good provider, not poop cleaning cred. If I go into the ED, I...

    Unfortunately, yes, in the beginning clinical instructors seem to force you to do the yucky stuff that aides usually do. At my school, they told the aides which patients had students assigned so...
