  1. FNP to PMHNP

    mzaur replied to chuckster's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    IMO its totally worth it to take out $80 to 100k to pay for the PMHNP program. You can get loans to cover the whole cost. Then you can do an NHSC loan repayment program where you get $60k toward loans...

  2. NHSC-Anyone with experience??

    mzaur replied to megank5183's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Damn. That's not good to

  3. Will DNP be the requirement for NP's?

    mzaur replied to twinmommy+2's topic in Advanced Practice

    No that is not a requirement. It's a recommendation by academic nurses, but they have no real authority. It's up to each individual state to change those requirements, and that is not happening, at...

  4. Psych question

    mzaur replied to lynds80's topic in Psychiatric

    That's too bad you couldn't do grad school. There is a huge demand for psych

  5. NHSC-Anyone with experience??

    mzaur replied to megank5183's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am curious about replies as well. I plan on doing NHSC loan repayment program eventually and found some info on these forums. Yes, you definitely get the money, but you sign a 2 year contract. Then...

  6. Just how do we find preceptors?

  7. Disappearing direct entry msn?

    mzaur replied to legal->nurse2b's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Anyway, I'm not sure if MSN programs will completely disappear. I have seen some programs get rid of their MSN in favor of DNP (U of Vermont), but there are still plenty out there. I am applying to...

  8. Disappearing direct entry msn?

    mzaur replied to legal->nurse2b's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Direct entry MSN programs for non-nurses are indeed direct entry to practice and licensure as NP. I'm not sure what you're thinking

  9. Disappearing direct entry msn?

    mzaur replied to legal->nurse2b's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not a very accurate opinion. With high NP salary, demand, and programs like NHSC, the direct entry programs are a great investment. Loans can easily be paid off in 5

  10. Just how do we find preceptors?

    mzaur replied to ChristineN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Which program are you in? Do most NP programs make you find your

  11. UIC Graduate Entry Program

    mzaur replied to beestrng's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wow you guys didn't find out yet if you are accepted? It's almost May. Seems pretty late to be giving out acceptances when most other programs give them way earlier and require

  12. Help! ASN wants BSN but has a BA

    mzaur replied to Nurse_RaRa's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Why the BSN? The MSN will be sufficient if you want to work as an NP. What are your career goals? I am not sure the benefit of getting both PhD and MSN, If you want to just teach, why not go for just...

  13. Any NP programs that use the medical model?

    mzaur replied to SummitRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The medical model is biological, while the nursing model is biopsychosocial. No, you won't find any NP programs who use the medical model. If you prefer it, then go to medical or PA

  14. NHSC scholarship, direct entry PNP, service fulfillment prospects

    mzaur replied to t_heart's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    t_heart, I know this is a year later, but hopefully you are still around. Those requirements are not for the loan repayment program, but rather the NHSC Scholars program, which covers nursing school...

  15. New York NP's

    mzaur replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Colorado has the same sort of requirement already. 3,600 required hours of supervision before full autonomy. 1,800 hours gives you provisional prescriptive authority, and the rest of the hours are...

  16. MGH Direct Entry MSN 2013

    mzaur replied to steve21021's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Reading through these posts, it seems that nobody is mentioning an interview. Does MGH not conduct

    Thank you for the advice

  18. Are my GRE scores sufficient for an Entry-level MSN program?

    mzaur replied to Samian Q's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Here is the concordance chart: http://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/concordance_information.pdf I would think scoring above 600 on each section and above 4.5 on writing would make you look quite competitive,...

  19. Are my GRE scores sufficient for an Entry-level MSN program?

    mzaur replied to Samian Q's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I got 1450 and 5.0 and was very happy with my score. It was competitive for fully funded clinical psych PhD programs that I applied to since I received several interviews (ultimately decided to go for...

    mzaur replied to mzaur's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thank you. Do you know how difficult it is to get a psych NP job in Colorado as a new grad without prescription

  21. New NP grads and prescriptive authority in Colorado

    mzaur posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi everyone, I'll be applying to MSN programs soon and want to eventually move to Colorado and practice there as a psychiatric NP. I'm reading about the requirements for prescriptive authority and...

  22. Expungement: Reality check.

    mzaur replied to SuzieVN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Does anyone know how BONs usually look at criminal history pertaining to drugs? I was arrested for marijuana possession 5 years ago. It will be 8 years when I apply for prescriptive authority. I'm...
