1. Plastic surgery

   lowrylb posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I was wondering if there are any nurse practitioners that work in plastic surgery? I have a possibility for a job as one but don't know of any other NP's that work in plastics. I was wondering what...

2. Ball State University MSN

   lowrylb replied to ksteen's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I would doubt it. I had a m-f 8-5 job and ended up leaving it for a 7-7 job so I would have more time. If your work could work around it or you could go part time some i think it would work. You do...

3. Ball State University MSN

   lowrylb replied to ksteen's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Sorry, I am not familiar with the loans. I think I averaged about $2500 a semester some cheaper and only a couple were more. I spent about $200 on books a semester and thats about all. So if you are...

4. CT question

   lowrylb replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I think what you ordered is very reasonable. Her symptoms are relieved after the dx of sinusitis. Why a CT was actually ordered at that time I'm not sure, CT scans are not usually indicated. I would...

5. Ball State University MSN

   lowrylb replied to ksteen's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Hi, I graduated from Ball State in July. If you are wanting a program that you can continue working with Ball State is very good. You can pretty much work the whole time. The only time there would be...

6. Online vs Classroom Graduate School for NPs

   lowrylb replied to Phoenix2010's topic in Advanced Practice

   I did online through Ball State and I loved it. I have heard good and bad things about both online and live programs. I think the most important thing is online you have to be willing to help teach...

7. NP's at Walgreen's, and CVS clinics?

   lowrylb replied to btlrcthy's topic in Advanced Practice

   I think they are fine. I do know that here in Oklahoma some of those clinics have a very limited scope of practice guidelines. Bascially for everything there are guidelines you have to follow very...

8. Advise from any Graduates from online NP schools

   lowrylb replied to Boonce1's topic in Advanced Practice

   I graduated from Ball State also. I agree the online program was great. I just wish we would have gotten some type of lectures over the topics but it was mostly read these pages, do this assignment...

9. Can a NP make over $100k a year?

   lowrylb replied to KT12's topic in Advanced Practice

   I am in an Urgent Care setting in Oklahoma. Fresh out of school making around 100K a year. Its possible, I do know that there isn't many here in Oklahoma that make that much. The average is 80K. It...

10. NP certificate from Online University??? Good idea/Bad idea?

    lowrylb replied to EHCDEMN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I got mine online through Ball State. I loved it however I do think you would might learn a little more by having a lecture. My online program didn't have lectures (even ones you listen to) whereas I...

11. NP Residency Programs?

    lowrylb replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had been looking at the MD Anderson Oncology NP residency. I have heard a lot of good things about it but have chosen to not go into that area. I'm sure its highly competitive but would be a great...

12. RN to BSN or MSN to FNP?

    lowrylb replied to kelluvanurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree I think RN-MSN would be a waste of time and I have heard you end up having to take almost as many classes already having a MSN as you would if you just had RN. Im not sure on this but thats...

13. Having confidence issues in clinical rotation

    lowrylb replied to lvICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You will be just fine. I had the same problem I felt like an idiot. After awhile you will be able to put it all together. It wasn't until my last few clinical rotations that I felt more confident with...

    Kyboyrn. I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind emailing me at [email protected].

15. So...What exactly am I paying YOU for???

    lowrylb replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did an online FNP program. I agree it seems crazy to learn all the assessment skills outside of a lab but just like nursing school learning in a lab really didn't do much help its all in clinicals...
