  1. Why are preceptors not provided in MSN programs?

    Soon2bAGNP replied to Lajimolala's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This policy makes no sense to me. One of the reasons I chose my school was because it arranged preceptors (the other being its great local reputation). It is one of only two schools near me that...

  3. Seeking a preceptor

    Soon2bAGNP replied to chibuike1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Try your local NP organization. The one here in Ohio lists preceptor needs on their website and Facebook pages. Good luck in your search....finding a preceptor should not be the hardest part of NP...

  4. Are textbooks this expensive????

    Soon2bAGNP replied to 2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It is the same exact material including the chapters and page numbers. I was afraid to purchase one until a friend of mine told me she does it all the time and never had an issue. I had no...

  5. Are textbooks this expensive????

    Soon2bAGNP replied to 2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Great point...one book I needed was $150. Found the international version on eBay for $40. No difference in the content. Although sometimes the pictures are in black and

  7. Anyone NOT work as a bedside RN while in school?

    Soon2bAGNP replied to AlphaPig's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This job kind of fell into my lap. I have an independent provider number for Ohio Medicaid. They list all IPs on their website which enables potential clients to reach out to you if they are...

  8. Anyone NOT work as a bedside RN while in school?

    Soon2bAGNP replied to AlphaPig's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have you thought about private duty? I took on a case when I started school and love it. After I take care of his needs, it leaves me with plenty of down time to work on class assignments. It was...

  10. New Grad RN got a job offer for homecare nursing but only 1 day orientation?

    Soon2bAGNP replied to katherine86's topic in Home Health

    My first HH job provided me with 2 weeks orientation and I was not a new nurse. I would have been scared out of my mind to be in your position. As a brand new nurse, there is no way I could have...

    Soon2bAGNP replied to nursepenelope's topic in Home Health

    I can relate to your post. I have suffered from anxiety my whole life. Up until the past few years, its was manageable. After it started affecting my sleep and BP and me trying all kinds of herbal...

  15. Are you, or have you ever been an APN student?

    Soon2bAGNP replied to pacnwRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree. The market does appear to be saturated and the school you attend may very well be the one advantage you have over another applicant. Cost should a factor when making a determination as to...

  16. Simmons College FNP March 2014 cohort

    Soon2bAGNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with both of you. I have so much respect for each and every one of these professions having once been in their shoes. Yeah its taking (what feels like) an eternity to reach my goal, but I...

    I was a MA, LPN, RN, BSN. Took a long time to this point, but I got married really young (20) and had two children back to back before I even became a MA. Then I had a third child a few years later....

  18. Help me decide NP school :)

    Soon2bAGNP replied to Junebug0710's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with besaangel. I would chose Concordia. It appears to be more flexible and to be just as good of a program so why not save a little money. I do not think the fact that the school is not as...

  19. Acceptance with not so hot gpa

    Soon2bAGNP replied to TiffRN82's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    All the programs that I have seen (too many to count via google search) only require 3.0. Some will accept you slightly below that depending on GRE scores which will likely be required for anyone...

  20. Simmons College FNP March 2014 cohort

    Soon2bAGNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a proud grad too. It amazes me how many people have misconceptions about the program though. Its not for the undisciplined or those looking for a easy program that's for sure. Had EC had an NP...

  22. Who works and goes to school full time?

    Soon2bAGNP replied to ICUKate07's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I work full-time and attend a full-time AGNP program. I have not had any issues. I am quite the planner, so I have my time budgeted well. In preparation for school, I did change jobs-- I left the...

    Soon2bAGNP replied to Clevengood's topic in Chamberlain College
