  1. Vacation and school...what would you do?

    lhflanurseNP replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    That is so nice to know. My hubby and I are thinking about a trip to

  2. Peds office vs hospital...conflicted!

    lhflanurseNP replied to snappycindy's topic in Pediatric

    I don't believe so. My first job was in a general practice office in a small town, the second was a PACU nurse in a major city. I have bounced back and forth between hospitals and offices and find...

  3. floor nurse vs clinic nurse

    lhflanurseNP replied to besugarfree's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Working in a clinic may give you better working conditions, but you will suffer a financial cut (more so than switching to days). Working in an Endo clinic is not going to help/hinder your...

  4. Vacation and school...what would you do?

    lhflanurseNP replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I went to Alaska for 14 days while doing my online bridge program. I got my assignments done ahead of time and posted them. I was able to login to class and keep up on the discussion forums, so I...

  5. Nursing School as an Older Student

    lhflanurseNP replied to Jonelrob's topic in General Students

    I am 55+ and got my BSN and now working on my FNP online. If I can do it...anyone can! It takes a bit of reorganizing your brain, but within a few weeks you will find your groove. The only problem...

  6. Which NP program did you/are you going to choose?

    lhflanurseNP replied to RNcarlo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    most online schools require that you go to the school to "show" them that you are proficiently learning the required subject (physical assessment, women's health, geriatrics, etc.). South sends a...

  7. Which NP program did you/are you going to choose?

    lhflanurseNP replied to RNcarlo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm doing FNP through South University online. No campus visits required...ever...they come to your clinicals. Cost is reasonable

  8. Please critique my résumé and cover letter

    lhflanurseNP replied to maydaysvp's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Only thing I might recommend is why you want to work at that

  9. Online vs Traditional

    lhflanurseNP replied to marienurse18's topic in Advanced Practice

    I also am in an online FNP course. Pros: I can set my own schedule (hard at first to get yourself disciplined). Not having to take tests (just LOTS of writing). No on-campus visit with the school...

  10. Anyone want to answer a few interview questions.? For advance practice nurses.

    lhflanurseNP replied to OCRN3's topic in Advanced Practice

    This sounds like an assignment I did in my bridge program (LOL). I went online and searched for a preceptor NP in the field of practice I wanted to be in. I emailed her and set up a telephone...

  11. what does your diploma say?

    lhflanurseNP replied to SwoRN's topic in School, College Programs

    My very old ADN degree has Associate of Science Nursing Education. My recent BSN degree has Bachelor of Science in

  12. Does an RN degree from Rasmussen transfer to USF for a BSN program

    lhflanurseNP replied to AshleyJenkins's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree with elkpark. Some of the Rasmussen schools are still in the process of gaining

  13. MDs dont own the physician title

    lhflanurseNP replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Interesting, because here in Florida, diagnosing and treatment as a physician is limited to MD, DO, or DC title. DPS, DDS, etc. are limited in their field. I am referring to the whole body.

  14. South University online NP?

    lhflanurseNP replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So far so good. In pathophysiology now and enjoying doing a deeper look into systems. If you have any questions, please IM

  15. MDs dont own the physician title

    lhflanurseNP replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I will concede, but do podiatrists have the authority to diagnose and treat in these

  16. Reactions to being a NP

    lhflanurseNP replied to orangepink's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have to agree. There is a misconception that nurses make a lot of money. I believe some of this stems from the large money the general public "sees" as going to physicians and hospitals and figure...

  17. MDs dont own the physician title

    lhflanurseNP replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    In many states, physician is a title for a MD, DO, and DC only. In Florida, all 3 degrees allow physicians to diagnose and

  18. Obama delays major part of health law: coverage for > 50 workers pushed to 2015

    lhflanurseNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why not delay the entire thing until 2015/2016? Have you had a chance to read the entire bill? Do you think your senator/representative has? They pushed this vote through under the guise of "we'll...

  19. How do you use statistics in nursing school?

    lhflanurseNP replied to Trenata's topic in General Students

    I opted out via CLEP. Found it very difficult as I too am bad in math. I wish I had taken it "live". As to calculations, my test was FULL of calculations. I understand there are new STAT classes...

  20. ADN program or BSN?

    lhflanurseNP replied to Aabbccdd1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    $15K can be a huge deterrent. You can figure the extra money will cost you 1/2 of your first year salary. With many hospitals now looking at BSN for entry level nurses, I would suggest you find out...

  21. Leaving Healthcare IT

    lhflanurseNP replied to nursekiki1440's topic in Nursing Informatics

    A big problem with working in IT as a nurse is that you find yourself not feeling like a nurse. I did IT work for 3 years then said no more...I missed the patient - nurse relationship. I am now...

  22. In seat or online, which is better?

    lhflanurseNP replied to NPMAYBE's topic in School, College Programs

    I am doing online FNP. It has definite advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that I can study when I have time and I have the flexibility of taking a tablet to do my studies if I need to...

  23. ADN OR BSN

    lhflanurseNP replied to vrmartinez92's topic in School, College Programs

    If you can financially swing it and feel confident that you can do it, go for your BSN. Many hospitals are hiring BSN grads in the entry level, check out your local hospitals to see what nursing...

  24. RN to MSN advice please

    lhflanurseNP replied to Nurse_RaRa's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Several things here. I returned to school after 33 years for my BSN and am now in a FNP program. My bridge letters of recommendations came from varied sources: I used a nurse manager I worked with...

  25. Chosing between two schools for FNP program

    lhflanurseNP replied to luv4health's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Tiffany, I tried to PM you, but it says your box is full :-(. You can try a PM to me with your email or phone # and I will get back with
