1. Georgetown FNP 2020

   RockyMtnHi-ya replied to jks_asu's topic in NP Students

   Looks like a moderator deleted the name of the professor I recommended to you. If it isn't against the rules to share that information via private message, I'd be glad to do so.

2. Georgetown FNP 2020

   RockyMtnHi-ya replied to jks_asu's topic in NP Students

   I had (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME). I'm not sure whether he's still teaching that course; if so, I'd definitely recommend him. He's a physician and is knowledgeable, kind, down-to-Earth, and really gentle and supportive. I liked him enough to register...

3. Psy NP program in Wilkes university

   RockyMtnHi-ya replied to Suna100456's topic in NP Students

   Did you start/complete this program? If so, would you mind to comment here on your experience?

4. Frontier or Georgetown

   RockyMtnHi-ya replied to nursemidwife2be's topic in CNM

   My clinical coordinator found my first and second preceptors, both of whom were out of town: One was an hour away, and the other was 2 hours away and required one overnight stay every week for 13 weeks. For the last two rotations, I found the agency...

5. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

   RockyMtnHi-ya replied to Kaelif2015's topic in NP Students

   Good for you for wanting to make a positive difference. I'm a board-certified FNP in holistic/integrative practice, and virtually 100% of my patients with chronic disease, which I aim to manage conservatively through healthy changes, have traumatic ...

6. PMHNP or FNP?

   RockyMtnHi-ya replied to Pearl2014's topic in NP

   Here's another perspective. I considered becoming a PMHNP initially but chose to take the FNP route in order to not be pigeon-holed with regard to specialty. When I started school, I lived in a metropolitan area but relocated about halfway through ...

7. Frontier or Georgetown

   RockyMtnHi-ya replied to nursemidwife2be's topic in CNM

   I don't know about the selection process at Frontier, but Georgetown is known for high admissions standards. I will say that I hit a rough patch (due to illness paired with a challenging life situation) early in my college career many years ago and ...

8. Frontier or Georgetown

   RockyMtnHi-ya replied to nursemidwife2be's topic in CNM

   I will tell you that I considered the Cincinnati program as well, in part due to its low price tag. I actually met an FNP student in their final semester/clinical rotation at that school when I was in my first clinical rotation as a new NP student a...

9. Frontier or Georgetown

   RockyMtnHi-ya replied to nursemidwife2be's topic in CNM

   I'm in a rural area and reached out to the provider recruiter of the only hospital system that serves my area. That person sent out a mass email and followed up with me about the providers who responded and said they wanted to host me.

10. Georgetown FNP 2020

    RockyMtnHi-ya replied to jks_asu's topic in NP Students

    Yes, Georgetown really does help find clinical preceptors. I graduated in the Summer of 2019 from the FNP program and never had a single clinical issue, and I live in a rural area. I did have to commute 2 hours each way for one semester (I just kno...

11. Frontier or Georgetown

    RockyMtnHi-ya replied to nursemidwife2be's topic in CNM

    My clinical coordinator found two preceptors for me (She lined up one with less than 3 weeks notice when I relocated to another state). For the last two rotations, I coordinated the initiation of the interagency agreement with a new organization, wh...

12. Frontier or Georgetown

    RockyMtnHi-ya replied to nursemidwife2be's topic in CNM

    Georgetown IS ridiculously expensive, but it's also extremely rigorous and definitely has name recognition. I can't tell you how many times I've heard from preceptors that they like working with GU students because we're so well prepared for clinica...

13. Georgetown University MSN

    RockyMtnHi-ya replied to ED Nurse, RN's topic in NP Students

    So, it's doable? I was just accepted to the Spring 2018 cohort and the terror is starting to set in.

14. UCCS FNP

    RockyMtnHi-ya replied to lauraross1's topic in Colorado

    Laura, Could you share more info about the type of work that you are doing as well as the work load? I am trying to decide between the MSN-FNP at UCCS and an out-of-state program.

15. UCCS Accelerated Program

    RockyMtnHi-ya replied to saraCOS's topic in Colorado

    Hi, Makayla - I am a recent graduate of the UCCS program, so I will attempt address your questions pertaining to UCCS. I can tell you that the formula for weighting the four components of the applicant's portfolio is enigmatic. I do not know how it...
