  1. Can anyone offer insight to a distressed RN?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to MrJrod's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You sound like me. I found nursing school very easy, dumbed down, and filled with too much fluff. I found bedside nursing tedious and felt like I was never using my knowledge. I am applying to FNP...

  2. PLEASE Consider Repution of your NP Program!!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wrong. You may attend any school approved by NY state if you live in NY, which includes all NY schools plus Frontier and Samford online FNP. If you go to an unapproved one, you can have residency...

  3. Is West Coast University a good school?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to asalcedo22's topic in School, College Programs

    Are you kidding me? It's a for profit school! those degree mills are bad enough when they're affordable but paying Harvard prices for a nursing degree from a Phoenix-type school??? Omg

  5. Does School Really Matter?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to pinkORT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Boston is correct. Please do not give your tuition money to schools that cannot even be bothered to vet your preceptor and ensure a quality clinical experience. Applying to and attending these schools...

    futureeastcoastNP replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    Considering the insane tuition Columbia is charging, I think everyone is going to have financial

  7. Otoscope/opthalmoscope

    futureeastcoastNP replied to werlp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Better would be to practice in your schools lab space? If not possible, ask your preceptor to practice with them - they may even have an extra one you could borrow for a while to practice with at...

  8. Does School Really Matter?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to pinkORT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    jesbowne, South University is a for-profit school, so is in the same class as Walden, Phoenix, etc. aka: Schools that don't care about their students or reputation, and only want to make a profit. I...

  9. Is your NP program challenging enough?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What sort of courses are you taking so far that don't feel difficult enough? If it's mainly the fluff courses, I understand, because I think most NP students accept that those courses are just that -...

    futureeastcoastNP replied to JayneBB's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks Lancer, I found my decision when I was going in to make sure I did apply for FNP-MSN only. Thanks for the help though and yay

    So I saw the view decision thing today for the first time. I think it might have been there before but I missed it? lol It did indeed say accepted!

  13. FNP Education

    futureeastcoastNP replied to s_davison24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are many threads on this, but the overall theme you will find is that most people on here agree that for-profits are a bad investment. You will get a subpar education and the reputation will...

  14. Becoming a Nurse Practitioner in South Korea

    futureeastcoastNP replied to iballjay's topic in Immigration Advice

    In Korea, educational programs for nurse practitioners are very similar to those in the U.S. education system. But once graduated, the Korean NP does not have the venue within Korean healthcare to...

  15. Is your NP program challenging enough?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's not a huge secret that lack of standardization leads to many programs that are far too easy. Overall the whole NP education model needs overhauled. I'd say the programs are probably difficult...

  16. Nurse Practitioner School vs Medical School

    futureeastcoastNP replied to mdaniel747's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes I forgot about PA. If you want the quicker cheaper route, but don't want to be an RN, PA is probably the best

  17. Duke University's online FNP program, Fall 2014

    futureeastcoastNP replied to JayneBB's topic in School, College Programs

    No, I don't think I applied DNP unless I did it by accident,

  18. Nurse Practitioner School vs Medical School

    futureeastcoastNP replied to mdaniel747's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Listen, regardless of whether you choose medical school or NP school, you will be 40 one day anyway. Medical school doesn't make you age any faster or slower. When you're 40 do you want to think "Yay,...

  19. Duke University's online FNP program, Fall 2014

    futureeastcoastNP replied to JayneBB's topic in School, College Programs

    I haven't heard yet, which is odd. Why are they staggering decisions? My GPA was a little lower than yours SilvaRN, so I'm a bit worried at this point. I took the GRE though because other schools I...

  20. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

    futureeastcoastNP replied to WavyGravy's topic in School, College Programs

    Licensing exams are not federal...they are private exams administered by private organizations such as AANP or ANCC. License to practice in a state is based on the rules of that state and nothing...

  21. FNP Starting Salary

    futureeastcoastNP replied to mdaniel747's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You need to search online and read about the career before you commit to it. If you haven't come across the average salary at this point, clearly you haven't done much research. Maybe start with that...

  22. Does School Really Matter?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to pinkORT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Exactly avoid any school that is for-profit and avoid any school that requires you to find your own preceptors. I truly think more employers are catching on to how easy it is to become an NP at some...

  23. fnp

    futureeastcoastNP replied to rmv223's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Worse. At least a car is worth something. A Walden degree? I'm not so

  24. Duke University's online FNP program, Fall 2014

    futureeastcoastNP replied to JayneBB's topic in School, College Programs

    Hm, does anyone know if the wait list is ranked? Do they rank in order of GPA, GRE or what? What was everyone's overall GPA, wait listers and those

  25. internship supervision by preceptor

    futureeastcoastNP replied to dimama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Of course any QUALITY program would, but as we all know, those in charge do not seem to be concerned with shutting down or regulating the poor quality programs so most students don't receive anything...
