I just started my first semester in the NP program and I don't feel like my normal self. I have not had a break in school since 2007 and am getting working experience as I complete this program. I work part time, and have a family (3 kids under 7 ...

Fyi update....I graduated my FNP program and passed my boards. Thank you all for your kind words!

On call as an RN was 9.50 an hour at hospital. If called in, paid regular rate for a minimum of 4 hours.

No live classes. Interaction is completed via discussion board. Sometimes there are video supplements to the reading/learning for the week. I really enjoyed the program and felt challenged.

I'm starting my final semester there September 2nd. :)

New grad jobs can be hard to come by in the hospitals, but not impossible. Starting pay at hospital is anywhere from 28-31 an hour as a new grad. To get into l & d, you may have to pick a different area then transfer after 6 - 12 months. Enjoy ...

Occupational health.... that is my answer, every time. ... :)

Occupational health...

Yes, several people questioned why. I found the most resistance cam from those who did not have a MSN yet... needless to say, the ones I have talked to that are positive about it said the work you do as a NP is totally different as a RN. So really ...

I started my 2 year prerequisites in 2007, and graduated 2010, started my Bsn the semester after and graduated 2012, Started my MSN FNP the semester after and now have 1 year left... I haven't taken a break from school yet...

I say go for it... that's what I did, and I got a job while in school, so when I graduate, I will have experience under my belt. Plus, continuing education looks great on a resume! Good luck!

Occupational health............ ♡♡♡♡

I have considered the same options. I came to this conclusion. I can work as a fnp or instructor with a msn fnp. Fnp classes can be more time consuming and difficult. I can only work as an instructor with the nurse educator msn. Me personally, I li...

I'm working on finishing my fnp as well. While primary care sounds intimidating, I think your gut feeling is right with this scenario. If it was my decision, I would do the primary clinic.

Go with the husbands idea....

Google Bilitool ... love it... :)

Mark, have you started clinicals yet? I'm going back and forth about starting Walden. :)

I am transferring out of the rodp program because as an out of state student I am not going to be able to complete clinicals due to the rodp instructors not being licensed in my state. Make sure you are able to complete clinicals in your state. Conta...

Failing was anything lower than 78 in our program.

I wouldn't... granted I will not graduate until next summer, I make more than that as a RN. I would say the pay is rather offensive especially for a weekend.

Tin foil taped on window works wonders....

I was pregnant my first semester of nursing school with two other children ages 2 and 4. Being pregnant was the easy part. Having a newborn in the program required me to manage my time better. You can get through it! Just take it one day at a time! ...

Hello all! I am getting ready to start my second semester in the MSN FNP distance learning program. I was just curious if anyone has any tips as to how to obtain a preceptor. I am looking for a preceptor for summer 2013. I have tried contacting cl...

Hello all! I am currently in my first semester of the NP program. One of my assignments is to interview a NP that is currently practicing. I was hoping to find someone willing to participate in this assignment. These are the following questions I ...
