I'm hoping to gain some advice on which online FNP program would be right for me. I would prefer a program whose teaching format is more centered around lectures or audio/visual supplementation...
I absolutely understand this will be different from nursing school and will require some self guidance and independent study, and as you said, I'm trying to avoid bad or nonexistent instruction. Any...

Also you don't actually do clinicals in a hospital until the last 4 weeks of the fall semester. Until then your Monday or Tuesday clinical day is at school until 3 or so I think and you'll be in...

Congratulations Lisa! The first semester you will have classes wed-Friday and clinicals on either Mondays or Tuesdays. I think you get out by 3:00 for everything. For most of the first semester, your...
I know the feeling! In the beginning it seems like an eternity but it gets better. I just finished my last class yesterday before starting nursing school in the fall and it feels soooo good. Two years...

Are there any more acceptances? Was anyone denied or wait listed? I hope not! Y'all feel free to join our Facebook page! We have possible barbecues, hiking and coffee meet and greets in the works!...

We should start a Facebook group or something so we can get to know each other before school starts! I think it'll make it easier on all of us if we know a few

Sounds like you're in the same boat with roxanna so I wouldn't worry if you know all of your stuff is in. Our blue cards (for passing the background check) aren't due until the end of June so perhaps...

Haha it would be nice if they told us that from the beginning. They like to watch us squirm! I'll still be checking my email every 10 minutes and stalking the mailman. Good luck

I think you should call them and verify they have your correct contact information and also verify that your application was complete, especially since the deadline was extended. Just tell them you...

I didn't purchase the ATI prep and I wished I had! I used McGraw Hill's 5 Practice TEAS Tests book and it was a wonderful resource but the science in my practice test did not match up with the...
I just took my TEAS this morning. I used McGraw Hill's 5 Practice TEAS Exams book and it was very helpful in all areas but was off base a little when it came to the science portion. I just feel like...

How is everyone liking the program? TX State RR is my top choice for Fall 2014 and I'd love some input! Specifically, how are they scheduling you, do you feel like you get adequate "hands on" time,...

I would love to hear about everyone's experience at Texas State! It's my top pick so far and I would love any stories or advice about the school, how it might differ from other schools and any...
Vanderbilt in Nashville has a dual CNM/FNP program. You should look into that! Nurse-Midwifery/Family Nurse Practitioner (NMW/FNP) | Master of Science in Nursing | Vanderbilt University School of...
I want to give this a bump because I have very similar questions and have the same idea for my career path (3 years left of my BSN then hopefully Vanderbilt for dual CNM/FNP). How often have you...
