    Deciding between online PMHNP schools

    adreamdeferred replied to juneberryrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I enrolled at Wilkes but changed my mind and lost my $300 deposit. I did not feel they were student friendly because I followed the groups on social media and they were awful to the current students....

    Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

    adreamdeferred replied to ASN2016's topic in Nursing News

    So wait...some people actually attended classes and clinicals from these schools and some had the option to purchase their degree? I thought they were all buying them. That's going to be messed up for...

    The Degrading "Meet and Greet"

    adreamdeferred replied to panurse9999's topic in Home Health

    I think of this as private duty. I was a home health nurse and did intermittent visits. I performed the skill I was there for and left. There are some families who like to take advantage of nurses...

    Accept New JOB??? Not sure....

    adreamdeferred replied to Solid Sweetie Coyote's topic in Home Health

    It depends on your goals and what you can tolerate. The OASIS charting is more than a notion and I bet you can do your current charting while your patients are infusing versus having to take it home....

    adreamdeferred replied to sophia_29k's topic in General Students

    I too agree. In my grad program we were required to take an exit exam to prep for boards, one at the start of the course and one at the end. We did not get our results back from the first test until a...

    Curiosity Killed the Cat and Got 50 Hospital Employees Fired

    adreamdeferred replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. Hipaa violations can be costly monetarily and they need to regain the trust of the public. And for the record I want anyone who looks up my medical records without just cause fired....

    Research the facilities around you. Weekend rotation varies. I have worked from every weekend to every other, every two, every third and and even every 5th. Yeah every 5th was

    adreamdeferred replied to Fl1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sounds like you may want to become a nurse practitioner without becoming...a nurse or should I say without obtaining nursing experience or the least amount. Whatever the case may be, I don't recommend...

    Online or In person?

    adreamdeferred replied to Lindzg87's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello, In my opinion online is not easier. I am in the last two weeks of my AGPCNP program and it has been grueling. First, I chose my online program because I am on 11 week quarters and the thought...

    Future FNP Program Student!

    adreamdeferred replied to darnellescott's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Join your state's NP organization and network there. A lot of schools including brick and mortar are moving toward having students find their own preceptors so don't let that be a deal breaker for...

    Walden University FNP

    adreamdeferred replied to Kristy_p's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with RNtoFNP20yrs. I live in NW Ohio and work for a large healthcare organization. They hire Walden grads all the time and they are on the list of schools they provide reimbursement for. As a...

    Thinking of giving up FNP program

    adreamdeferred replied to Guest838984's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you like what you are doing, there is no point in torturing yourself. We definitely need RN's who love what they do. As far as becoming a NP, you gotta pay the cost to be the "boss". Not everyone...

    Should I appeal?

    adreamdeferred replied to aaronadams92's topic in General Students

    Hello, First, I want to encourage you to pursue nursing if that is where your heart truly is. Second, I wanted to add students are not graded as if they should be on par with a working RN. None of us...

    Walden FNP class schedule

    adreamdeferred replied to Nishacat03's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Make sure your preceptor is available for you to front load those hours. Their work hours may vary and they may have vacations of their own. It will be difficult to work full time because there is a...

    What happened to all the Walden Haters?

    adreamdeferred replied to Mark Hill BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The idea that for profit schools are diploma mills aggravates me. All schools charge tuition no matter what their 501 c3 status is and some a lot more than the for profit online schools. If they could...

    Adult-gerontology NP vs FNP

    adreamdeferred replied to KellyBSNRN18's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As an AGPCNP student I am a rare breed in my circle. I think most panic and fall for the FNP is more marketable schpiel. Most of the students I know are FNP. I had schools trying to convince me to do...

    Accidental Pregnancy

    adreamdeferred replied to m2038's topic in General Students

    I would try to make it to the end of the program if possible. Rest as much as you can. Things work themselves out. Your parents may be disappointed but they will hopefully come around. Your partner is...
