Hello! I got into UCLA Graduate School of Nursing for Family Nurse Practitioner! Anyone else out there also going to UCLA this upcoming Fall? Please message me! :) I'm from New Jersey and would like to meet some people in the area before I head off ...

Hello, If you're an out-of-state NP graduate, you'd need to get nationally certified by ANCC or AANP as a NP first before you can apply for your CA NP license. CA requires out-of-state NP grads be nationally certified, while in-state graduates don't ...

Any MD who agrees to "supervise" you (or ideally, "mentor" you) should be present in the clinic in case you have questions. FYI, pre-signed prescriptions are illegal. Stand up for yourself and do not use them!!! If you absolutely must (which I strong...

Hello, I am a CA NP. Please do not let any MD talk you into "volunteering" for these 520 hours, although I've heard of several NPs who had gotten their furnishing # this way. A practice/clinic/hospital that values your education/experience/worth enou...

Hello, I'm a senior nursing student who will be graduating in May 2006. My question is, do you suggest a new grad work first or go directly into graduate school? A lot of the schools I'm looking at requires a R.N. license to apply, does that mean wo...

heeheh, you must be coming to upenn since they made me buy one for $500 and i only had to use it in lab :) depending on what program you're in, you might or might not need to invest in one of these. if you're in acute care, you'll probably never have...

Hello fellow NPs out there, I'm a FNP student from Penn who will be finishing up in December 2007 (can't wait!). I was wonder if you all can give me some advices on when I should start looking for a job and how to look for the jobs. I'm in Philadelph...

hello, i am a bit confused. when you say "get a job" do you mean get a job as a RN?

if you're looking to serve the immigrant population, then UPenn is your place to be! i'm currently a FNP student at UPenn and they did a great job placing me in a clinical rotation where i serve heavy immigrant populations! You will love it here. :) ...

hello, i will be looking for jobs in the LA area soon (currently in PA); i was wondering if you can all provide me with a general profile of the health insurance benefit package offered to you by the hopsitals in the area (HMO/PPO/deductibles/copay, ...

hello. i will be attending UPenn's FNP program in the September (2 weeks from now!!!). i will be glad to give you some input once i'm in the program. feel free to private msg me. :)

i must say i am a little shocked to see that no one else visiting this forum are coming to upenn?

llg, that's unbelievable! so typical of schools (not just nursing schools) to get money from you last minute. i just graduated from my bsn program 2 a week ago (whoa, has it been a week already?) and i'm completely broke. $200 nclex $195 application ...

hello, i'm currently in school to become a fnp. i was wondering how you all found your first job working as a np. are places willing to take new np grads without working experiences at a np? what is your suggestion on landing a first np job? thanks!

hello! I was admitted to UCLA's FNP program full-time. I just (literally, I graduated yesterday!) graduated with my BSN. My double-majored in Chinese and Nursing. I didn't take the GREs for UCLA because it wasn't required. My cumulative GPA is 3.5 so...

i'm more scared than excited

Hello, I'm sure there are many of you in my boat. Been accepted to a great but PRICEY graduate school with no money to go. Financial Aid Offices tend to take a looong time and not everyone gets aids. So I'm starting this thread to see if anyone out t...

if you attend the program full-time, i believe most programs are 2 years. upenn's program is 16 months because you do not have the summer off. i did a little research when i was applying to graduate school, no matter the length of the program, the c...

UPenn's FNP program is 16 months, not one year.

hello! i got into both university of pennsylvania (aka penn) and UCLA for the master's programs just this past march to start in september 2006 (i'm choosing to go to upenn). if you have questions about gpa, activities, etc please private msg me. i w...
