  2. South University FNP MSN program???

    Review your notes from the weekly printed material. 90% of the exam relates directly to this
  3. I am a nursing student and I would like to go to Med SchoolD

    If you really want to be a MD...go to medical school. You are wasting time in nursing school. Being a nurse is not going to be very helpful in medical school. Both work with patients, but they are...
  4. ModestTruth...the first group of online NP students just "graduated" in June of this year. Students technically finish at varying times throughout the year, but the school does one major graduation a...
  5. I had an iphone and loved all the apps that came with it, but it was too hard to see, so I switched to an android and find that most of the apps that I use are available on the android and easier to...
  6. Cwoods...South has campuses as well as online programs. I am not real familiar with the campus programs. The online program is intense, and has a LOT of papers and assignments. You have to be...
  7. Cwoods, you are correct. The tuition cost per hour just went up. So far, I have not seen an increase in my tuition (I have a signed contract at the previous rate). Can you finish in a year?...

  9. Anyone working as an Independent Contractor?

    Hopefully having those numbers does not dampen your view on your "raise", but typically this is a short-sighted attempt to make it appear as if the employee is making more money while still keeping...
  10. Anyone working as an Independent Contractor?

    As an independent contractor, YOU are responsible for all the taxes, license fees, insurance, etc. Basically you are your own "business" and you are "working" for this physician at an agreed upon...

    mcmetauten, you are most welcome. Sometimes a new set of eyes can help find the path among the trees...as they
  12. Hospice Nurse Practitiones

    I think you need to ask yourself where you want to work when you complete your studies. If you plan on working in an acute care setting(hospital or private practice), then you should stay in the...
  13. First clinical day as an NP student tomorrow :)

    Perfect advise. The one thing that got drilled during assessment was to focus on differentiating abnormal from normal. As we were told, write what you see. It helps when you move on and have to...
  14. Passed AANP yesterday

    Congratulations! I will be done in December and have already started going through Leik's book. I really like the front section where she discusses many of the problems one can get tripped up...
  15. Failed AGACNP EXAM

    > I am so sorry to hear this. What is most frustrating is you have to wait 3 months to retake. Can you do it through another testing agency? I don't know which one you took it through, but can...
  16. Still in school until December but, locally, the docs look at what clinical experience through rotations the student underwent and how much time was actually spent face to face with patients. Some of...
  17. started clinicals, need advice

  18. As zmansc states, my program is very similar. My instructor and clinical coordinators have been in touch with my preceptor several times during my clinical rotations. We also have to submit our...

    Chris_Tea, thank you for sharing this information with us. I will definitely save this information for when it becomes my time. Thanks
  20. Midnight shift is killing me, literally.

    You stuck it a lot longer than I did. I tried nights for 4 months and just couldn't do for many of the same reasons. I would fall asleep on the way home (45 minute drive), and the straw that broke...
  21. South University FNP MSN program???

    Queenbeenurse, I will be done this December. This program relies heavily on discussion forum postings and interactions and weekly papers. There have been a few tests but nothing one can't handle...
  22. South University FNP MSN program???

    Queenbeenurse, I think you posted this in the wrong place? USI????? This is for South
  23. Apology from a doctor!

    One facility I worked at during nurses week one year did that! Our MDs took one day during that week and worked the floor, not their own patients, and did they have a greater sense of value of the...
  24. I remember talking to a nursing instructor I know at a school seeking accreditation. I asked her what would happen to the students who wanted to move on to an advanced degree. She told me that until...
  25. Apology from a doctor!

    While not an actual apology, I remember one particular doctor with whom I would just cringe when needing to call during the night. When I announced I would be moving away and leaving my job, this...
