I am looking for someone that has graduated with an NP degree from EKU for moral support!

Any nurses out there attending or planning on attending EKUs NP program? Thinking about their online NP program but can't find much info on it...

That's what I just ran into. I was setting up the rest of my clinicals and found out that the office (not the NP) are thinking about charging bc they are "providing a service". Ridiculous.

I'm in the MSN program for my NP and I feel like I'm teaching myself as well. And so do many of my fellow students.....

I'm in an online program and I say if you have the option of a campus program you should do it. You teach yourself online. Trying to perform a physical assessment check off online..... Difficult. Asking questions gets frustrating online because you h...

IT issues are going to occur. I had trouble connecting to one of my proctored finals and when I menrioned it to my two friends in class with me the said the same. It wasn't anything major but all of us were scared that we werent going to be able to t...

The instructor for my current course actually brought up how there were technical difficulties for several people in pharm when it came to examity and the final. She basically said make sure that you do a "speed test" to check your upload/download sp...

I need info on what I'm in for at the end of my program. So far instructors will not give us any info on it. How long did your exam take? How awful was it? How am I supposed to remember EVERYTHING from the entire program. I'm flipping out.

I originally left a fairly long post about EKU but deleted it. PM me if you have any questions.

I am almost one year into my PMHNP program. I have a year of class left and then a semester of 360 hours to complete. At this point I am already tired and a little burnt out. I attend an online school that doesn't have traditional breaks in-between ...

Blue, empty your inbox so I can PM you

It's funny you should say that. I was just telling a co-worker that I go through all the stress so I can get off the floor I work on.

This is how the clinical "requirements" are at my school. They didn't say it was a requirement but they "want" clinical to occur during day shift hours M-F. They do not send out a list of possible preceptors unless you ask for one. My friend and fell...

I decided to go to NP school for several reasons, and yes, money was one of them. Other included lifestyle change, family time...making my own hours if working out of an outpatient office (I am PMHNP), and wanting to learn more and be on the provider...

I could be wrong, but I believe that in order to take any grad level courses you need to be accepted into the grad school first. The requirements most likely require your completed BSN as a pre-req for the beginning level grad school courses. There a...

My school uses Blackboard so I use a Macbook and my iPhone (there is a blackboard app). The blackboard app only works for looking at things though, not writing and uploading any assignments or watching any posted video.

I find it odd that Examity/IT stated that blackboard was not compatible with Examity. If that were true, wouldn't everyone be having problems? I really do think that it was the Examity employee that was having issues. Nothing related to you.

I go to the same school you are talking about I just wanted to comment on a couple things. 1. I had trouble with the pharm final. The Examity proctor was having trouble accessing my computer. It took her a good 10 minutes to gain control of it. I tr...

...for my assessment class. I am a PMHNP student and do not need a top-of-the-line piece of equipment, as I will only be using it for this one class. Anyone have any suggestions on which one to purchase? I have looked on Amazon and there are several ...

I start on 5/19 and it's an 8 week course. I'm freaking out after hearing horror stories. I'm in EKU's online NP program. Our first week covers 14 chapters!! Instructor sent out an email stating we should expect to spend 12 hrs a week in this class....

I'm in the MSN program and feel the same. Ask lots of questions. As many as you need. Ask in the office forum and if you want email your instructor. I ask several questions both ways and the instructors enjoy the fact that you are thinking about what...

Yeah and if you already started the program like me, you take patho and do your research project at the same time. I think i figured out how to study for this class. She also just sent an email out that stayed she thinks this first quiz is the hardes...

Did you get your MSN through EKU? I'm in them program now and just started patho. I'm super nervous.

When you first got hired on what were you offered? What was your first years income? Did you work a salary job? I know the responses will vary greatly as location and settings can be so different. I am trying to get an idea of what an acceptable offe...
