Hello, I am looking to leave the hospital/direct patient care after 12 years of experience as I feel like I'm in need of learning a new aspect of nursing. I have applied for a screener for a LTC system here and although I've dealt with many in my pas...

Anyone know if UB still offers the RN to BSN I looked on their website & it's so confusing. I have also emailed the school but of course with the holiday weekend no response yet. Thanks for any help.

Hello all!!! I hv been searching all over & I can't seem to find any online FNP programs or any Suny schools near Buffalo, Ny with FNP programs that offer course just 1-2 days a wk in NY state. Maybe I have overlooked some schools so any info wou...

Hello everyone! I currently work 13hr shifts as RN in a CathLab & attend school for my BSN. I will be starting the FNP program next year & am considering quitting my job as the hours & on call tire me out & the stress is becoming too ...

I am a RN who graduated from Trocaire in 2004 and found a job quick. My gripe with them was the expensive tuition & less than sensitive instructors.

I am in New York states & I know plenty of NPs who only work as RNs because they didn't enjoy being a NP. As a matter of fact I work with one in the Cath lab

I am currently a RN who works in home care & we see about 5-6 pts a day & sometimes that can be crazy. So I'm wondering how are you going to see 10-12 pts a day along with paperwork. I understand both of our roles are different but to me in t...

I mean I'm just dropping to part time status!! I was full time & used to pick up mega call. So cutting that out too lol

Thanks BeeGeeRN!!! Our schedule is about the same except we work 13hrs but the call schedule is the same as yours!!! I just started part time so maybe it is doable :)

I currently work days 13hr with on call in the Cath lab but plan on working going to part time nights when I start my FNP program next year. Did you find it impossible to study when you worked nights.

Well said!!! Nurses who speak this way do not understand the true concept of NURSING!!! CNA=Certified Nursing Assistant which means they are there to ASSIST you with YOUR Job...I always say being a CNA should be a prerequisite to becoming a Nurse jus...

I live in Buffalo & you don't have to have peds experience to get into the FNP programs.

When I worked in CTICU we had a NP who would round with the surgeon & also harvest veins during CABG & he was trained by the PA & MD so surgery can be an option I believe it is up to the MD....& when I worked at a Level 1 Trauma cente...

I worked with 2 FNPs who worked only in the hospital in our Cardiothoracic unit seeing patients post open heart & they were awesome & actually encouraged me to become a FNP instead of an Adult NP...as a matter of fact 1 of them also works per...

Hi RN bean. I am a RN also & am looking for a Nys online program also for the same reason as you are. I am looking to apply to Delphi for the spring semester, wondering how long the program? Would also be interested in feedback regarding your que...

No problem & good luck

It's just for Education/Licensure in NY state. & your right the list of stated approved schools online in New York state is very short. From what I was told it has to deal with clinicals & campus sites, there are only two approved out of stat...

I did & thank u again....I live in buffalo & was accepted to Dyouville but after doing some configurations with my budget it's just too expensive & I'm still paying loans of from my ADN(since I attended a private college) so I plan 2 pay ...

Hello all I'm soo frustrated!! I've been looking for online FNP programs but of course selfish New York State has blocked most if not all out of state programs from practicing in the state unless they have a instate campus. & I don't want a costl...

Thank you very much just checked them out & hopefully I can get in next year!! & no the school just has to be approved by New York State. Btw I'm in WNY also

Thanks!! I am from wny & I actually was accepted to Dyouville but to be honest after adding up the costs & the fact that I plan to take out min school loans & pay for most of my tuition out of pocket Dyouville wouldn't work out

Right now I'm just going by what 3 different schools told me. I am still researching but I am trying to also get information from real students that's why I came to this forum...thanks for the information

Thanks for the information!!! I will definitely check them out. U of Cincinnati told they were no longer approved by 4 states & of course NY was 1 of them...Graceland advised be that because of the new law they werent approved because of the camp...

I have spoken to 3 different schools (Graceland, Walden U & the Univers of Cincinnati) about their online FNP programs & they all tell me the same thing that ny state passed a law in April 2012 regarding distant learning(not sure if it's jus...
