Got accepted to all, wondering which one would you goto and why. They are all online. Thanks, Mike

Congratulations!!! I sit for the FNP AANP in about a month and have found it valuable to read about everyone's exam experiences. Thanks for sharing. Mike

Wow, congratulations! I'll be taking it very early 2015. My study plans are similar to what you described. Do you know where you're going to work? Mike

I was accepted to UTEP and Texas A&M Corpus while in my last semester at UTA. Two other schools turned me down due to not having completed my BSN.

Two monitors have been indispensable for me. I've constantly having more than one application open at a time.

I've searched EVERYWHERE and can't seem to answer this question. Can SFNP be used? And if so, when? I'm about to start clinicals and it makes sense to me that signing SFNP or RN-SFNP is appropriate. But there is literally no reference that I can find...

WOW, what a story. I'm just starting clinicals and thank-you for sharing and being transparent to a tragedy in your academic career. I truly hope that all NP students learn from this and do not make the same mistake. As stated by previous comments...

I'm in my last class (advanced physical exam) prior to beginning my clinical rotations in the spring at UTEP. It's far easier than I expected. Don't get me wrong the classes are challenging. The professors are just much more supportive than in und...

How at risk are NP's for malpractice suits? Please share if you've been sued (frequency) and any tips to others on how to avoid one in addition to the best type of coverage to have for protection.

That article answers my questions, thanks. As I near graduation, planning for protection of the hard-earned degree is foremost on my mind due to the litigious society we live in. I’m excited to be able to do more for patients however, without exper...

Thanks, that's what I was waiting for someone to say. I'm looking for less stress!

Finished my: Diploma RN 25 BSN 44 FNP 47

I would approach some of the marketers that visit your office. Many have contacts all over the local medical community. All the ones I know would be happy to scratch any potential client's back. Another option would be just to send notifications to...

I have a friend who is a certified women's health NP; she has been one for over 20 years. She told me that she only has a ADN along with the certification. She added that if she were to let her license laps then she would have to return to get her ...

Congratulations for passing and giving the glory to God!

I totally agree, this is one of the most beneficial methods of collaboration in a profession that is developing rapidly. Threads such as this can only help. How in the world can it hurt? The personal information is limited to say the least.

Sorry to hear that you all are having a communication issue. I'm about to start my third semester in the FNP track at UTEP and am surprised at this. When I applied there was very good communication, especially compared to other schools that I looked...

Anyone interested in forming a contact list for study purposes?

tsrn84, The application process was easy, however a friend of mine was accepted into the Spring 13 class, she said there were additional requirements that I didn't have to do. For example, she said there was a phone interview that came late in the ...

BritKel12, I'm in my second semester at UTEP. I've taken theory and research, and am almost finished with pathophys and law. So far so good; I've transitioned to part time and have joined a couple of APN organizations. I'm prepared to take off if...

I’ve also had the same problems as stated above. Two other ridiculous issues are: 1. You get e-mailed information related to every school affiliated with nursing CAS when changes are made to their admissions process. (even schools in other countri...

I agree wholeheartedly, however I didn’t have to communicate with my advisor hardly ever. To accomplish that I had to spend an excessive amount of time on the material, and I’m pretty good with computers so tech support never had to be consulted. B...

SailorNurse, Thanks for your input; it is very welcome as that I’m a little nervous about starting this program. I have a 3.94 and am prepared to take off work for the whole program if needed. I also have preceptors already lined up to help me bec...

No, I haven’t decided yet. I’m down to UTEP and Corpus. From what I’m hearing from this board, online, and word of mouth from peers UTEP would be the place to go. It’s one semester shorter and has a better following of admirers. I don’t really kn...

Ok, I just got acceptance letters from A&M Corpus and UTEP for the fall 2012; decisions decisions.
