    Acceptance to Georgetown University with low GPA?

    SopranoKris replied to dJAYRN639's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How much lower is your GPA than the minimum? What kind of nursing experience do you

    Online FNP program?

    SopranoKris replied to Avill's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are many state schools that have online NP programs. You just have to search for what you need. For me, I'm paying out of pocket as I refuse to go in to debt for school since I'm in my 40s....

    Too soon to become an NP?

    SopranoKris replied to SjwRNBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And that is exactly why I got the ADN first instead of going straight for the BSN. I wanted to be able to gain valuable experience as an RN while working on the BSN and then on the the NP. I started...

    Indiana State University FNP spring 2017- anyone?6

    SopranoKris replied to RookieRoo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How many times do you have to go to campus for the FNP program? Their tuition rate is pretty appealing since I'd qualify for the Midwest tuition

    Chamberlain of South Univ for FNP online program

    SopranoKris replied to 2flysteph's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most NP programs have you apply months & months in advance and limited start dates. I know you feel you are in a hurry, but it's really only a few months. In the grand scheme of things, it's not...

    Getting into NP school

    SopranoKris replied to jcruz981's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It only gives data about 4 year undergrad programs. Nothing about grad

    Online FNP program from abroad

    SopranoKris replied to linloo89's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with the previous post. You need to make sure you can get appropriate preceptors in Germany. You'll need to speak with the individual advisors at the schools you apply to just to make sure....

    RN to BSN online program January 4, 2016

    SopranoKris replied to oubrerodeo's topic in Chamberlain College

    How'd the July semester go for everyone? I'm glad to be done. Community Health Nursing is not my "thing". It was an easy course though, so no complaints :) Next week kicks off the last 2 courses I...

    Chamberlain College of Nursing-September 2016 RN-BSN

    SopranoKris replied to chmicha88's topic in Chamberlain College

    I took those when I got my ADN, so unfortunately can't comment on them with Chamberlain. I only had to take Sociology & Economics as non-nursing courses since I worked on courses towards the BSN...

    Chamberlain College of Nursing-September 2016 RN-BSN

    SopranoKris replied to chmicha88's topic in Chamberlain College

    I'm almost done with my RN-to-BSN. Just 2 classes in September and my capstone in November. I have to say, with the exception of Economics (which I believe is no longer required), I've enjoyed all...

    RN salary in Grand Rapids area?

    SopranoKris replied to Macruzer36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Cost of living in Grand Rapids is not nearly as expensive as CA is. As for nursing salaries in that area, PM me and I can provide some

    No RN experence NP "non-nurse"

    SopranoKris replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And considering the OP is a non-nurse trying to go to NP school, I think s/he might be trying to justify their own

    NP Programs w/o (or with less) Fluff/Theory?

    SopranoKris replied to cocoa_puff's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    UAB & University of South Alabama both have Acute Care NP programs with little "fluff". USA's BSN-to-DNP has the least fluff and awards you both the MSN & DNP (you do residency clinical...

    No RN experence NP "non-nurse"

    SopranoKris replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did several searches using different arrangements of key words to get data that correlates RN experience to NP skills and can't find anything supporting it one way or the other. Certainly nothing...

    No RN experence NP "non-nurse"

    SopranoKris replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think the problem is that the curricula are not standardized like med school or PA. I've been researching DNP programs and I find many that have tons of "fluff" courses. I have found a small...

    Can a primary care family nurse practitioner work in urgent care?

    SopranoKris replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It depends on the area you live in. Where I'm at, you need to have dual FNP/ACNP to work in the ER. Most urgent care facilities around here would prefer you have FNP so you can see patients of all...

    DPN/Nurse Practitioner vs. PA/Physician's Assistant

    SopranoKris posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've been getting conflicting information from advisors on the difference between being a DPN/Nurse Practitioner vs. being a PA. I've been told the only difference is PAs are trained in the medical...

    No RN experence NP "non-nurse"

    SopranoKris replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Absolutely, that's why I got my ADN instead of doing the direct entry route, too. I could get the RN the quickest so I could get experience while working on the BSN. If I do the dual FNP/ACNP DNP...

    Preceptor location services

    SopranoKris posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Has anyone here used any of the preceptor location services such as Clinical Match Me? Was it worth the price? I'm weighing my options between 3 programs and 2 of them require me to locate my own...

    Preceptor location services

    SopranoKris replied to SopranoKris's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you! I will steer clear. The cost is outrageous and it just doesn't seem right to have to pay someone to get a preceptor. I just worry about being able to find one, if I have to. I'm applying to...

    University of South Alabama PMHNP

    SopranoKris replied to myrachandler's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Graduate courses taken online are $547 per credit hour. If you took in-person graduate courses at the school of nursing, it would be $938/credit hour at the out-of-state rate. Here's the link:...
