1. Going into Nursing after age 50

   MrSensitivity replied to shinazee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'd agree that nursing jobs today aren't as plentiful as they once were (my wife's been a nurse since the 80's), but comparatively it is a good field in which to find work. As to the question of age,...

2. Has Any Body Taken AANP-2014 FNP Boards?s

   MrSensitivity replied to SuccessfullLady's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Here's a perspective, or rather an experience, that I don't see much on this subject. I found the AANP cert exam to be the hardest exam I've ever taken. Almost all of it was scenario based and many of...

4. Texas Tech BSN 2 Fall 2013

   MrSensitivity replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

   I have vitalsource. Don't know the difference with kno. With pageburst the book resides on your computer and pages load quickly. Some of the other ebooks are internet based and every page has to...

5. Texas Tech BSN 2 Fall 2013

   MrSensitivity replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

   Already sold them all to online sites about a week ago. Sorry. But, I also used a lot of digital books. I like the ones that are on Pageburst (Evolve, Elsevier), but had bad experiences with other...

6. Texas Tech BSN 2 Fall 2013

   MrSensitivity replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

   I did all of mine on day shift. A number of my classmates worked nights. Everybody prefers days, but don't sweat it if you get nights. Some of the best coaches are on nights, and on nights there's a...

7. Texas Tech BSN 2 Fall 2013

   MrSensitivity replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

   Hi bibi321. You won't have any trouble. You already have one degree, and that says a lot about commitment to finish something. I think that's one of the reasons they created a fast paced program like...

8. Texas Tech BSN 2 Fall 2013

   MrSensitivity replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

   Just finishing up the Abilene program. For those of you starting there, take a look at Newport Village apartments. They're clean, gated, quiet, and convenient to everything. Three of us living there...

9. NHSC program after 2015

   MrSensitivity replied to mzaur's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Since you're asking for opinions, I've got one. There aren't very many bills that fund programs more than 3-5 years at a time. I'm not surprised it's part of a package that will have to be voted on in...

10. Best online Psych NP Program?

    MrSensitivity replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's true BlueEyedGuy. Good point. The tax rate and the "effective" tax rate are two different things. Someone making $100k might end up in the 35% bracket, but the effective rate will be around...

    MrSensitivity replied to LetsChill's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you can get the physical exam / health questionaire sent in now, along with the proof of health insurance and CPR card, but they don't want the background investigation to be submitted until...

13. Best online Psych NP Program?

    MrSensitivity replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I hear ya. $30k is almost the price of a new car. A daunting task

14. Best online Psych NP Program?

    MrSensitivity replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wrong? Oh harmonizer, let's have some harmony to go with my sensitivity. I would agree with you that $2 is a bigger number than $1. But one should look the calculus and not just the arithmetic. That's...

15. Best online Psych NP Program?

    MrSensitivity replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When looking at cost, consider the length of the program, especially if you are having to finance living expenses. Programs range in length from accelerated one-year to 18-month and even 24-month...
