  1. Considering change of NP Programs

    BritFNP replied to takdwn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Maybe some of your core A/G NP courses will transfer later? I would not quit your current program until you had acceptance into an FNP program. I don't think your application would be affected. I...

  2. Stay away from Walden University

  3. Navy Reserve for Student NP

    BritFNP replied to jhogue22's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have tried a handful of time to speak to recruiters about the specific role of a NP in the military. I've heard anything from "Well you have to be an RN first" (really???) to "We don't need any NP's...

  4. Should I become an FNP?

    BritFNP replied to raeenna's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No one ever responded, so I thought I would. I'm testing for FNP in 2 weeks. I do not miss bedside nursing. I know many nurses love it and do it for their entire lives. Pros for me are scheduling,...

  5. "Why didn't you go to medical school?"

    BritFNP replied to shannonFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately, people know what a PA is and I've answered this

  6. Texas Tech FNP Spring 2014

    BritFNP replied to mgtrz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I heard from a friend who applied, was denied, and asked what she could have done better. Admissions told her you have to have a 4.0 to get in. Thats how many applicants/how competitive it has

  7. How old were you when you made the choice to become a NP?

    BritFNP replied to mmcc26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    24 when I started. 26 now, graduated 2 weeks ago, test in about 2

  8. Angelo State University

    BritFNP replied to Heart2015FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I took stats along with pharmacology and I think...patho. It was full load. It was not fun. A foreign language actually. Its nothing like undergrad stats that we were required to take. Let me know if...

  9. Cost of preceptorship

    BritFNP replied to Sage123183's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agree...they are not usually compensated. Usually they are "paying it forward" or love to teach and know our field needs

  10. got accepted both MSN FNP and Post-BSN DNP. Which way to go?!

    BritFNP replied to bluetear's topic in Post Graduate Students

    DNP may be required in 2015. But even if you chose MSN/NP you would be grandfathered in if you are enrolled

  11. Second career ELM to N.P at 53?

    BritFNP replied to lorilulu's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Lori, Is funny you mention age in a negative way. I became a RN at 22 and will be a FNP at 26. My mother got her RN a year before me. Patient's assume she has tons of experience because of her age....

  12. Do you need your BSN before you become an NP?

    BritFNP replied to Louisepug's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To answer your question: NO, you do not have to have your BSN initially (ADN fine), but your MSN program will be longer to award you a BSN too or the equivilant. These are the RN-MSN programs. Again,...

  13. FNP certification

    BritFNP replied to ashonman's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just began my last year (11 months and counting) and they recommended one of Fitzgeralds certification review books. Its hard to find time to study for a test thats taking place in over a year when...

  14. NP preceptorship

    BritFNP replied to charlie1234's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am beginning my last year in my FNP program and have decided to relocated back to my home town (3.5hrs away) in order to be with a NP preceptor instead of a MD or DO in the town I'm currently in. It...

  15. Beating a Dead Horse

    BritFNP replied to a1eyedbandit's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I began looking for a preceptor in July when I didn't need one until January. Preceptors commit early. You could def. start now. Even if you don't think you are going to have an issue, I'd get one in...

  16. Angelo State University FNP

    BritFNP replied to Heart2015FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Apparently that RNFA "program" just gives you a certificate because it only requires 140 hours or something...I inquired about it and this is what I was told via email... "The APRN RNFA program is a...

  17. advanced patho and adv. pharmacology, summer, 2012, MTSU..HELP!!

    BritFNP replied to julielive's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I took Adv Pharm, Adv patho, and Nursing theory last semester. If you are working on it FULL time, like you say - you will be fine!! Of course its challenging, if it weren't, everyone would do it! It...

  19. Student loan forgiveness (NHSC)

    BritFNP replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i have looked into this program. a couple things i found out when reading the details that are extremely important to know before making a commitment are: nhsc lrp applicants must have qualifying...

  20. Angelo State University FNP

    BritFNP replied to Heart2015FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I attend. About to begin my last year. Pro's are that its online and you can still work, but you must be extremely determined and dedicated. If you choose to attend full time you can complete in two...

  21. Frontier recommendations

    BritFNP replied to blueindigo79's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've never heard of a school telling you who to get professional recommendations from! Mine were from my advisor, my director of nursing, a podiatrist, and just a RN co-worker. Seemed to do the trick,...

  22. Entrance drug test

    BritFNP replied to dayanara's topic in General Students

    An antidepressant is not going to show up on a drug test. An amphetamine like adderol will. You will be

  23. RN to MSN, skip the BSN?

    BritFNP replied to sbostonRN's topic in General Students

    If I were you, I'd go RN-MSN. My opinion. No telling how much of your current bachelor's will speed up your program. The reason RN-MSN takes so long is because they make you go back and take all those...

  24. Does School Really Matter?

    BritFNP replied to pinkORT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree. I've never had an employer care where my BSN was from (private university). I'm working on my FNP now which is online mostly...its accredited, I'll pass my boards, and I'll be competent. I'll...

  25. FNP certification deadline?

    BritFNP replied to nurseactionackson's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am unsure as well. I know there is talk of the FNP degree becoming a DNP instead of a Master's by 2015, but I don't think anything is official. Those who are FNP's with their master's degree will be...
