    FNP Walden

    zmansc replied to koko2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most online programs I know of have you identify potential preceptors. They then negotiate with the preceptor and their agency for an agreement that the preceptor will meet the schools requirements...

    FNP Walden

    zmansc replied to koko2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would strongly advise that you start networking with practitioners of all types (NP, PA, MD, DO) now, before you decide on a program. This is extra important if you need to find your own preceptors....

    reasonable hours to work while going to school

    zmansc replied to Cindy-20's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is a thread about how much work did you do during school that has probably hundreds of replies to it. You might want to search it out. In my class the range is from none to full time with a...

    Thinking of transferring to the ER

    zmansc replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    Change is always hard, and most of the time you will find that most fears prior to change end up being unnecessary. Everyone who is currently there and an expert ER nurse in your mind, was once in...

    Masters entry to NP

    zmansc replied to Jrah's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think you need to worry about the DNP becoming mandatory anytime soon. I'm not sure what a masters generalist program is, some sort of MSN I assume? If that's the case, then yea, there are...

    FTC and NPs

    zmansc replied to zenman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree, and hopefully it will help persuade more legislatures to continue to remove unnecessary restrictions. It appears that the tide is pushing in our favor, and we are at a time when we should be...

    FNP Education

    zmansc replied to s_davison24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will agree that the education is mostly on the individual in that if the individual puts enough into just about any program they will get enough out of it to be a competent new grad nurse...

    Any advice or words of wisdom for precepting new grad ER nurses?

    zmansc replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Emergency

    I agree with 1fastRN, alot of people get intimidated by the mass of moving parts whirling around the patient in what appears at first to be complete chaos, yet is somehow a synchronized team doing an...

    It's not whom I've talked to, I'm giving you facts, and your making facts

    Online nurse practitioner programs

    zmansc replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've been to the location, I know many current and former students. That is not the point, nor is it relevant. What is relevant is when you continue to make blatantly false statements against someone....

    In process FNP need help with job now

    zmansc replied to tjbrin's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP said Associates to FNP. It's basically a program that requires you to have an RN degree, gives you the BSN (which may or may not be awarded) and then you enter their MSN

    Online nurse practitioner programs

    zmansc replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    By repeating something you know to be untrue, you continue to propagate falsehoods. The disservice you are doing is by continuing to act like you are spreading information when in fact you are...

    Online nurse practitioner programs

    zmansc replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Slander - a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report (dictionary.com). That is exactly what you have done as you have made up statistics and statements that are totally false and anyone...

    In process FNP need help with job now

    zmansc replied to tjbrin's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well in that case.... Nobody in my cohort looked for a permanent position, where they could transition into a NP position from their RN position. I and many of my cohorts have offices that have...

    Online nurse practitioner programs

    zmansc replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Chillnurse, you don't seem to know what your talking about. You post statistics that you have no backing for. FNU has a very active jobs board, and an excellent reputation. Maybe you know of a...

    Where to begin?

    zmansc replied to Smwright19's topic in Emergency

    Yes, many BSN programs will take transfers of credits from a CC. You will need to check with each program to determine what classes transfer. No, stats, physics, calculus are probably not necessary...

    Thinking of transferring to the ER

    zmansc replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    Sounds like that nurse didn't do a good job of starting you out and building you up. Some nurses seem to think it's cool to watch someone flounder, or that you have to sink before you swim. I'm not a...

    Online nurse practitioner programs

    zmansc replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Where did you find this pass rate? Do you have any statistics to back this up? Frontier's website shows a first pass rate for 2013 FNPs AANP 99% and CNMs (AMCB) 94%. In your last semester there you...

    In process FNP need help with job now

    zmansc replied to tjbrin's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with BritFNP, although I would be worried about being a traveler and going to FNP school at the same time. I assume you plan on doing an online program, or I don't understand how you can...

    What Must I do???

    zmansc replied to ACarmella's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Frontier does offer both CNM and WHNP as well as a FNP program, but it does sound like CNM is the program that would do what you want. Frontier does require that you are a RN first, so for their...

    ACNP Question

    zmansc replied to WitnessRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe there is at least one program that is designed for those who want to work in an ER, I don't recall which school has that program, but a search of the board would probably lead you to

    How prompt were your references?

    zmansc replied to MILOBRI's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I told mine that I would need them two weeks prior to needing them. Two came back when I originally asked for them, the third came back two days late, but still well before I really needed

    Major med errors...whose fault is it really?

    zmansc replied to NeoPediRN's topic in Emergency

    I'm not sure the specifics of the med errors is the important factor here. It seems to me the OP is pointing out that her ER is not currently safe. From my reading of your posting OP, I think you need...

    Clinicals when you work Mon-Fri?

    zmansc replied to mountainaireNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did the same as OCRN3. I work perdiem. At my facility they have enough needs that I could work almost every day if I wanted to, so I try to adjust my schedule around my school work needs. I'm not...

    Thinking about FNP

    zmansc replied to LillyBud's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are many threads on how much experience is needed to succeed as a NP student and after as a NP, and there are probably more opinions on the subject than there are people making the opinions. The...
