  1. Hello! I have been accepted into the MTSU FNP program with my classes beginning this Summer. For Summer, 2012 I am taking Advanced Patho/Health Assessment/Pharmacology. Does anyone have ANY experience with this program or information? Since its ...
  2. I have had so many people ask me this that I want to post for all. I took health assessment in the summer. What I had to do was VIDEO TAPE and BURN TO DVD and MAIL my performance EVERY SINGLE WEEK! It had to be postmarked by Friday, midnight. From th...
  3. Just how do we find preceptors?

    For me, I want my FNP so badly that cold calling MD offices, sitting for hours in waiting rooms, speaking with office managers, and asking my own physician for assistance was done without hesitation. Yes, it was a little uncomfortable at first, awkw...
  4. Share your positive experience with a distance program!

    I am graduating in 3 weeks from RODP in Tennessee. My school is MTSU. I LOVE THE PROGRAM! Yes, we have to find our own preceptors, BUT, that is known up front. The rationale is that by us finding our preceptors, we arrange our own clinicals and f...
  5. Yes, first, I am so sorry its taken me this long to respond! I took health assessment in the summer. What I had to do was VIDEO TAPE and BURN TO DVD and MAIL my performance EVERY SINGLE WEEK! It had to be postmarked by Friday, midnight. From the ...
  6. I want to start out by saying that I love RODP. But, there are things you need to know: 1. Before you can begin clinicals, four classes must be done: Health assessment, health assessment clinical, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. There are (4) ...
  7. Added 11/14/2013: PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME ANYTIME: [email protected] THANK YOU! Julie
  8. ABSOLUTELY you can go full-time or part-time! Remember full time for the grad program is less hours then BS. If you don't want to double down on your clinicals (I didn't either) just make sure you get the core completed as soon as possible (the four...
  9. Also remember: You must have patho done before you can begin any of the clinicals..and that's four classes.
  10. I took pharm, adv. health assessment and clinical and patho in the summer..IT WAS HORRIBLE! NO WAY i could have worked and done it. With health assessment, videotaping and sending in the DVD's was so time consuming! But patho was difficult too. R...
  11. ABSOLUTELY! Honestly? Most graduates or FNP's come from online programs in my area; there is no preference.
  12. RODP FNP in TN? Anyone?

    I am a current RODP student and am actually the student rep. on the RODP board. If anyone would like information, please feel free to email me. I am about to graduate and can very much give you any information you need. [email protected]...
  13. Did your GPA in NP school matter

    That is so funny! Just the other day, the doctor I work with said, "How's your grades?" I replied, "I trying to get all A's...but made a few B's". His response? "Yeah..there was a girl in my med school who wanted all A's too..but today, we are both...
  14. Graduates of Tennessee's RODP masters program?

    Where do i begin? I am graduating from RODP in December. I personally love the program, its not perfect, but it's good. As for online degree..have no worries! I can assure you that it is not a problem. Every clinical I have done they have inquir...
  15. BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

  16. I am hoping someone out there can give me ANY ADVICE on taking these two classes online at MTSU this summer...along with adv. health care assessment. I know..it sounds CRAZY, but I must take these classes this semester in order to graduate timely. ...
  17. Sorry its been so long, but I did it..two A's and two B's! yayayayay...now, on to FNP II adult and clinical along with theoretical foundations...this is really TIME CONSUMING, but gotta get it done! Could not make it without epocrates and isabela...t...
  18. Is this information that is covered in the certification for Risk Management or Case Management? My risk management certification covered many legal aspects of nursing, i.e. nurse practice act, litigation, negligence, etc. My case management certifi...
  19. for ppl in full time np program, how are you working???

    Just want to add...I have a mortgage, utilities, all of it every month. I have no additional income. I just came up with a radical plan to live lean for 18 months and go for it!

  21. for ppl in full time np program, how are you working???

    My answer to this is RADICAL, but this is what I decided I must do. First, I went to school part-time, online, to obtain my bachelors. It took YEARS and ruined my marriage. I almost gave up so many times. For me, the work was just too time consumi...

    @Julielive...what incredible words of advice for a woman distraught as Trailblazer. You have an amazing innate ability to comfort a hurt individual. I have no doubt in my mind that you are an outstanding nurse. Lucky are the patients who pas through ...
  23. Coworker nurse trying to ruin my reputation...

    I am a seasoned nurse, just now returning for my FNP, and I have worked almost EVERY AREA LOLOL. Some of them a great experience, but even the bad experiences answered the question of whether or not I would like that particular field. Some "hot" are...
  24. No, ITS BAD! lolol, but I really feel I have no choice. Why? No clinical can begin without first taking (and passing) these courses. If I cant do it, then I cannot start clinicals this fall. If I don't start clinicals this fall, I cannot graduate...
  25. Is grad school really this hard to get into?

    As one writer said, RODP is a viable option. Here in Tennessee, we need nurses. To facilitate the process, our state adopted RODP, Regents Online Degree Program. When you apply to RODP, you are not applying for one particular school (although you ...
