  1. Does School Really Matter?

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

    That article is from 17 years ago, lol. The GRE in and of itself may be useless, but I do think it has predictive validity of success since it's basically just a measure of whether or not you can...

  2. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

    mzaur replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think it's possible to give a general estimate since salaries vary widely depending upon your specialty, geographical location, ability to negotiate,

  3. Path to Psych NP

    mzaur replied to Honeybadger540's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is incorrect. BSN is not required and many programs don't give one. The direct entry Psych program that I'm doing is RN and MSN

  4. Part-Time NP Programs: Opinions?

    mzaur replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NPs programs are not being forced to go DNP. Plenty of MSN programs will still exist due to their demand. No state will bar MSN NPs from gaining licensure. But even if that does happen, why would an...

  5. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

    mzaur replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Nutrition and Developmental Psychology are two separate courses. See this is why Oxford commas are so important!

  6. Part-Time NP Programs: Opinions?

    mzaur replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Too much supply is not a good thing as it will lower income potential. What happens when demand goes down? The baby boomers aren't going to last

  7. FNP Walden

    mzaur replied to koko2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Mark, the word you're looking for is cited, not sighted. You keep using the wrong word so I just wanted to point that out. Do you know what the FNP program acceptance rate is? I don't see it...

  8. Please help w/ path?

    mzaur replied to spaceinthesky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just recently was accepted to several direct entry PMHNP programs, so I am familiar with the process. I would be happy to chat with you and answer any questions about what you need to do to prepare....

  9. Why you shouldn't become a nurse practitioner

    mzaur replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    hahah this made me laugh, but you're spot on. The accrediting agencies really need to get their act together, and I really hope they do because the future is worrying. There is a reason that...

  10. FNP Walden

    mzaur replied to koko2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, if you want to work in rural Mississippi then I doubt it really matters where you went to school, but I wonder how Walden grads fare in competitive urban

  11. Revised GRE-Study and Scores

    mzaur replied to GamerGal's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sorry it seems this site is bugged and won't let me include line breaks to create paragraphs :/ Just copy the post into Word and make paragraphs so it's easier to read,

  12. FNP Walden

    mzaur replied to koko2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is it reputable? Not in my opinion. Will you be able to sit for boards and gain licensure? Unfortunately yes. But if there is backlash in the future against such schools, which I think there will be...

  13. Revised GRE-Study and Scores

    mzaur replied to GamerGal's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I studied for about 6 weeks. I got 166 Verbal, 159 Quantitative, 5.0 Writing. It's not a very difficult test. Just grab a bunch of prep books, do lots of practice tests, make lots of verbal flash...

  14. PMHNP

    mzaur replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Vanderbilt in

  15. Psych NP inpatient per patient fees?

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

    I have no clue, but isn't it different for every state and insurance company? There must be some way for you to find out how much they bill

  16. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

    mzaur replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It depends on your specialty and whether or not you are pre-specialty or direct entry (with an RN already) -- see this page for details Distributed Course Delivery and Flexible Formats | Master of...

  17. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

    mzaur replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think it's around 150 total for all

    I just got mine today too for psych. I'm in

  20. Yale GEPN 2014 Applicants

    mzaur replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've heard many negatives from alumni. I don't want to go into specifics, but mainly it has to do with high faculty turnover and students needing to repeat courses, as well as issues with clinical...

  21. Yale GEPN 2014 Applicants

    mzaur replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hmm there is no wait list for psych? That's odd. Well, I got in for psych but I will not be accepting (did not hear good things about the program). Best of luck to

  23. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Applicants 2014

    mzaur replied to s-lizzy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for sharing this info. I'm curious if they mentioned anything about scholarships in your acceptance
