I just saw on Walden University's website that they will offer a Psychiatric NP program starting in May. The school is expensive and for-profit, but it does offer another option. I think they may be the first for-profit school with this NP track in ...

Ray, Yes, it is the same degree. I was in the first cohort of students completing the new curriculum. There were a ton of changes and obstacles my classmates and I had to deal with. However, WGU was quick to make changes and restructure the classes b...

Wilkes University will start an online PHD in nursing soon. Nova Southeastern University also has online DNP and PHD programs. Touro University has received positive reviews on Allnurses from former students. It may be worth it to check these program...

j9eRN, Foggnm and RNfor918 both gave excellent advice about the boarding process. The link below has the pay scales for the Cleveland VA. Scroll down until you find the correct location and scale for your position. Welcome to the VA!!! https://www....

I'm starting the Psychiatric DNP program in January. How is the program so far? Any advice or suggestions is appreciated.

I am a current MSN student in Texas. Today I received a letter form WGU with over 20 referral cards for WGU Texas. Each card has the same referral code - WAV2, which will waive the $65 application fee for those applying to WGU Texas for the first tim...

I'm planning on starting my MSN in September. The new MSN curriculum is now posted online on the college's website. It appears that the entire program has changed and is now 38 credits. I wanted to complete the program in a year, but that doesn't see...

The study guide offered by the ANCC is worth the money. It is updated for the current test, and covers everything you need to know for the exam. It is worth the money. Plus, you can earn over 20 CUs by paying a $45 test fee, and taking a test online....

Has the deadline passed yet? I thought it was in July, but I could be wrong. UTA has a great NP program in psych. The director of the program is awesome and very approachable. I didn't apply to the program because I wanted an DNP program. Now I wish ...

I agree with Tasha, if the costs per credit hour are close I would get the MSN. Even if you decide to go the NP route or need more credentials you could obtain a post-master certificate.

I applied to an BSN-DNP program at Rush University, and was accepted. Rush requires applicants apply via NursingCAS, my WGU MSN classes were not included in my GPA, NursingCAS calculated them as pass or fail. The only GPA calculation I had was for m...

Hi guys, We will all be classmates :) I was accepted to the psychiatric tract. I can't wait to start this fall!!!

Hello Tom, Good luck on your interview. I applied for the psychiatric tract on the 2/3/2014 deadline. I hope things go well for you today

You will only need the 38 credits for the MSN :)

Hi Malenurse, Have you thought about staying at UTA for the FNP? The online FNP academic partnership program just started. The minimum GPA without a GRE is 3.0. Plus being an alumni could only help your chances. The program is only open to Texas res...

I started the MSN program at WGU in September. I also wanted complete a post masters cert. in psych. Now, I wish I would've just started a masters program to become a psychiatric NP. The MSN program changed in September, and is still having "growing ...

Texas Tech offers has a midwifey program that is web based. It's a great school with lots of support.

RN forever is telling the truth. The new program is horrible. I just want to finish this semester, and start another program. The information in the course of study is not covered on the objective test. This makes progressing through the program diff...

That sounds like GREAT news to me. My EWB will not open until Monday, but it does give me hope. I talked with multiple people at WGU about doing the old program, and was told the new program was mandatory starting in September. I'm doing the leader...

Yes, the program has completely changed. Like Skoolrn said, ALL of the classes are new. The addition of the 3 P's and practicum wouldn't be an issue if they might be useful in an NP program. But they way the courses are titled and the amount of credi...

I'm another former flight attendant turned RN. I flew before, during and after nursing school. I was able to do both for five years. As I got older I started to worry more about retirement, getting older, settling down etc. I left flying to work at t...

There is a business that offers IV cert. classes in the Houston area. You can Goggle them their name is Professional Heath Care Training Services (PHES) or you can reach them at 877-313-7437.

I "think" it is 26.68 base per hour for a GN. I can't remember for sure, but it is close. I interviewed at LBJ and the rate should be the same minus the med center stipend, if one is offered at Ben Taub.

I'm a new grad too. I just applied to the hospital I wanted to work at and got the job. Best of luck to you :)

Well, I was a mother with a lot of support when I was initiated into my sorority. I was 23 and the oldest member on my line, I was not in nursing school at the time. It was very hard work and very expensive. If you wish to join a divine nine sorority...
