  1. Review courses

    littlepeopleRNICU posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To current NPs: Did any of you take a review course when preparing for boards? Did you feel it was worth it? Which did you take? I go to a reputable University, but I am curious. More specifically,...

  2. Review courses

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for your feedback! I feel like what I'm hearing from others is beneficial, especially in learning the question style. Our professors say that our exams are written in the style board questions...

  3. Review courses

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you! That's good to know. I've been considering an online review also, just for the lower cost and better flexibility with

  4. Review courses

    littlepeopleRNICU posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi, I have one more semester left in an MSN-AGACNP program and was thinking about review courses. If anyone here has done one, which did you do? Did you think it was worth it? I also considered just...

  5. Review courses

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you for moving, but I posted this where I did intentionally. My post is directed toward current NPs, not students. I know that some NPs do read the student forums, but most of the responses are...

  6. Little RN experience in NP school

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to RN-dancer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As far as how your peers will view you when you graduate, that will vary. This is a topic that gets brought up a lot. My networking with NPs has greatly increased while in clinical, and I have found...

  7. No motivation. Gas tank on E

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to rehric00's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You definitely aren't alone. I have one more semester after I finish this one, and I feel the same way! It seems like most of my classmates do, as well. I do 3 12s a week(nights) for work and 20 hours...

  8. NP school and preceptors

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to bellamia1015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I attend the University of South Carolina. They do have a coordinator now that helps with setting up clinical sites. I haven't interacted with her, as I found all of mine and had them laid out before...

  9. Working a 9-5 and starting NP Program

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to enigma2441's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not sure if you are asking me or not, but thought maybe since you mentioned full-time work. If so, I attend the University of South

  10. University of SC online AGNP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to homehealthWCN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's a good idea. You're welcome! Thanks, if you have any other questions, feel free to message

  11. University of SC online AGNP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to homehealthWCN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The part that worries me about your working schedule is clinical. I think the coursework would be able to be done with your working schedule, but in all of the clinical semesters except one, you will...

  12. University of SC online AGNP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to homehealthWCN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It honestly depends on the week and what's going on for how much I put in, but I would say maybe a very minimum of 10ish hours a class to include your lectures, reading, etc. Full-time in the program...

  13. Anyone else starting University of South Carolina PMHNP MSN Summer 2016

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to jrntmb's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in a program at this school now and am attending full-time and working full-time. It really depends on how you are able to manage time, stress, and other factors in your life. I'm in my third...

  14. University of SC online AGNP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to homehealthWCN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is this AG acute? If so, then yes, I am in my third semester of the program. I have been working and doing school both full-time. For me, FT work hours is 3 12s a week, and I work night shift. The...

  15. What's your work schedule like during school?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to gelli.25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in my third semester. I've been doing school and work full-time. My first semester I had no clinicals. I started them the second. I work 3 12s(night shift) a

  16. Would it be best to be a CNA then an RN?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to ART_Princess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think being a CNA would be beneficial, but you don't "need" to. If you are looking for a job during school, it's a great suggestion. You get your foot in the door and can network for future job...

  17. Nps in the er

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to NSC Nursing's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not graduated, but they do at my hospital. There is a separate peds

  18. Working a 9-5 and starting NP Program

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to enigma2441's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It also depends on your school's policy too. Mine will not let us do clinical on weekends or mostly on night shift. Sorry if you already addressed that. Like someone else mentioned, many clinics do...

  19. Currently in school for NNP - unsure if I should continue or switch to FNP. Any advice?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to jessoutside's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My post above should say "no weekends". It won't let me edit it now.

  20. Currently in school for NNP - unsure if I should continue or switch to FNP. Any advice?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to jessoutside's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    One thing you could consider is acute care. I know several ACNPs who work in outpatient specialty clinics and have a M-F 8-5 schedule with my weekends and holidays. You have the option of that and...

  21. Which NP is "safest"?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to totoRN12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a NICU nurse. I also am an AG-ACNP student. I do have adult experience though. I love my job as a NICU nurse, but I had the same reservations as you...I don't want to 1)not find a job when I...

  22. RN to NP education. How did you manage it?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Nurse2B in TN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in school full-time and am going into my third semester. I've worked full-time the whole time so far, and that schooling includes clinical

  23. going straight into becoming an NP after BSN?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to schallerjasmine's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    People are successful without experience, but I do feel nursing experience is invaluable. I'm glad that I waited. I feel like you learn a LOT in the "real world" of nursing that you don't learn in...

  24. Why did you pick your NP Program?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm going where I am to school because of: 1. Multiple previous students I know were satisfied with the programs 2. Reputation 3. It's local to me, which I felt would help with securing preceptors...
