    Future Market Saturation

    Cococure replied to guest538567's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Cococure replied to darnellescott's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am going to say the same thing...find a school that secures preceptors! Unless you have major contacts that can assure you placement find a school that does. Here is why NP school is already...

    Cococure replied to Wannabe FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Look for a good program, one that does placement so start with a state school where the tuition is usually cheaper. I go to a hybrid progam and it works for me, ask some co-workers what schools they...

    Thinking of giving up FNP program

    Cococure replied to Guest838984's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you are happy at your job no need to rush. Also really ask yourself why you're pursuing a FNP degree? If it's just for the money you are already making a decent living and travel nursing pays...

    Cococure replied to Missybaby36's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I attend a brick and mortar school and I do exams online and they are not as easy as one may think. The questions are structured in such a way that it would be a waste of time to search for...

    What is your salary as an NP?

    Cococure replied to niwas209's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You have to want more than money to become and FNP. When entering any field you will be paid accordingly but as you gain experience and expertise you will make more money. I am saying this because...

    Cococure replied to brinksta's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Look for a good school... not an easier one because like many others have said nursing schools look at the whole pic not just the GPA. I know nurses that have less than stellar GPA's but they applied...

    Disappointed

    Cococure replied to CardiacDork's topic in Advanced Practice

    When will this ever end? Nurses are not always the most supportive group. I don't even mention that I am in school because I will hear "So you want to be an NP also?" "There are too many NP's" "There...

    Cococure replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why? Because we are not robots we are humans we form bonds with people. Not sure where you work but when I worked nights my co-workers and I were more that just co-workers we were friends. We went to...
