1. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

   whoamibutme replied to IcySageNurse's topic in NP Students

   Many of the educational paths are "Evolving" and changing. PA schools used to primarily be for Military Medics coming out of service, a place for them to use their skills and advance their education to provide primary care in much needed shortage ar...

2. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

   whoamibutme replied to IcySageNurse's topic in NP Students

   Oh here we go again, a pa student coming on a nursing board to tell us all how much better their education is. And of course these are the same guys that are on the pa forum dissing np education along with all the fluff of the last year or two of m...

4. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

   whoamibutme replied to IcySageNurse's topic in NP Students

   I think, with all due respect, the holistic approach is a myth. Pharmacology, advanced patho phys, medicine, ect. Is what it is, and what many np programs have in their curriculum. Those thinking only medical school and pa school have that approach...

5. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

   whoamibutme replied to IcySageNurse's topic in NP Students

   There are plenty of np programs that offer a solid foundation to begin practice. They may have different course titles than the standard medicine courses (and many do not) but the key is they provide a foundation, just as PA school does. Plus, ther...

6. SF/Bay Area Psychiatric NPs

   whoamibutme replied to psych_aprn's topic in Advanced

   I don't know about psych, but yes... the Bay Area is very saturated with nurses of all flavors. New grad RNs still hunting 2&3 years later. I've heard that even UCSF MEPN students struggle to find work, and even clinical rotations while in scho...

7. What's Cali. life like?

   whoamibutme replied to DFRAZIER25's topic in California

   I am sure you know all are very expensive :) That said, agree that it's kind of a rat race. Lots of traffic, etc. LA and San Diego are more of what you think of in terms of "Sunny California". San Francisco (people are sensitive there to it being ...

8. Seattle U - APNI 2013

   whoamibutme replied to Calinca's topic in NP Students

   Hi Vivealegre, I believe the cost they are quoting (I thought I read around 78K) is for the whole program. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Good luck!!

9. NP program cost. Your input please!

   whoamibutme replied to hik9258's topic in NP Students

   WOW, awesome people are finding programs for those costs. I haven't seen them, maybe not looked hard enough. :-)

10. NP program cost. Your input please!

    whoamibutme replied to hik9258's topic in NP Students

    I am not an NP yet but looking at similar tuition costs. The sad fact of the matter is, schools are really jacking up the prices of these programs. Even a lot of the MA programs are nearing 30 grand, for a hopeful shot at a job paying $16/hour. I've...

11. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    whoamibutme replied to WillRegNurse's topic in NP

    Sad comments from the OP. Sounds a bit catty and judgmental to me. Completely disagree. Medicine is so individual... to say one would never see a particular clinician because they seem roleless and don't have MD behind their name... yikes. Guess w...
