  1. Is West Coast University a good school?

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

    ridiculous us to pay that amount for that school. They are preying on people having to wait to get into other programs, which is sickening. You will never make that investment

  2. BSN Textbooks for NP school?

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've noticed quite a few programs seem to use the same textbooks for pathology, pharmacology, and health assessment in their undergraduate BSN programs and their graduate NP programs. Is this normal?...

  3. Advanced Nursing vs Medicine

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree with you to an extent, but the problem is we're going backwards if anything. I may have been harsh, but I sometimes just get so disgusted with what I perceive as complete inaction on the part...

  4. Online Adult Practitioner Program New York

    futureeastcoastNP replied to mairead07's topic in Advanced Practice

    Many of the state schools in NY do not advertise they are online, because they require many campus visits. Check out all of the NY Adult NP programs and see if any are online. I compiled a list for...

  5. Looking for an online NP program recommendations

    futureeastcoastNP replied to virtuouswoman331's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Whats the rush? Better a quality program in sept than a scam now,

  6. Advanced Nursing vs Medicine

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Advanced Practice

    I too took a hard science, pre med curriculum before nursing school, and was surprised at how much easier nursing courses were. Very dumbed down. I think the issue is not lack of hard sciences in the...

  7. Advanced Nursing vs Medicine

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's the lack of standardization across NP programs, the fact that programs don't even have to provide clinical sites, and the elevation of nursing theory fluff courses over hard science courses that...

  8. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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

    I think they give most students a scholarship during the BSN portion. it's like $20k. There are others but I think it requires that you have a low

  9. Mid-Level Providers Education Reqs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to wheeliesurfer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The amount of time someone spends on class is irrelevant, it's about the classes and how much they learn. I really don't think you should worry about a PA program being inferior to an NP program -...

  10. Nurse practitioner School

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

    And once again a pre-NP student who seems to have eyes for for profit programs. Ignore Kaplan, please. Simmons and Kaplan are not even in the same league. Of those three, definitely choose Simmons....

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

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

    I meant email, on android I just have my email synced with my phone and my emails cause my phone to alert instantly just like a text

  12. BSN Textbooks for NP school?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Shouldn't NP textbooks be as in depth as medical student textbooks? Both are responsible for prescribing once

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

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

    Am I the only person on allnurses who gets email sent direct to my phone??

  14. New Jersey: Time to receive APN license?

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

    From what I've heard, the NJ board of nursing is absolutely horrible. They take months to do anything and give the run around if you try to

  15. Truth about UAB NP-FNP program

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Ms.Kay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I support your need to go to an online program, and I think in rural areas allowing online NP programs is great...but there needs to be limits in place. It's kind of disheartening when nurses living...

  16. Truth about UAB NP-FNP program

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Ms.Kay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    zmansc, I'm a big enough person that I can admit when I am wrong. I just read through the OPs post and my responses, and I think in this case I was wrong. For the past few days I have been reading...

  17. GN to NP in <1yr

    futureeastcoastNP replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused at the point of your argument? You almost seem to be advocating that NPs shouldn't exist, despite ample evidence that their existence has improved health outcomes. What exactly is your...

  18. Truth about UAB NP-FNP program

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Ms.Kay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    zmansc, the OP essentially complained about: 1. "They offer classes on the layout of the program." - Yes, most programs have a specific layout that must be followed. It's called a progression plan....

  19. A dual degree of FNP & ACPNP smart?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to mtg0884's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've seen a few programs that combine the two. Some places call it "Emergency Nurse Practitioner" because you get the benefit of critical care management and the ability to see all age ranges, perfect...

  20. GN to NP in <1yr

    futureeastcoastNP replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if agree with this. The programs that force employment are usually part-time, and I don't think part time is the correct path to becoming a provider of any kind. I think immersion works...

  21. Why do nurses love for profit schools?

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

    This. As I've mentioned on other threads, graduates of your profits are getting jobs right now because there is not saturation. It's just as when people argued about ADN vs BSN and the ADN proponents...

  22. Truth about UAB NP-FNP program

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Ms.Kay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think that about online programs...I support them fully most of the time. I think most RNs though think getting their NP online is supposed to be like stopping to get butter on the way home...

  23. Why do nurses love for profit schools?

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

    I disagree about the book smart comment...in order to be a good practitioner one definitely must be book smart. That may not be as true for RNs but at the provider level, knowledge and intelligence is...

  24. GN to NP in <1yr

    futureeastcoastNP replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think people are being too hard on new grad NPs. Of course they're not as well prepared as full fledged physicians - the physicians have completed residency. A new graduate NP should be compared to...

  25. GN to NP in <1yr

    futureeastcoastNP replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am extremely worried about the saturation of the market. I'm angry at the nursing advocacy groups, which are supposed to protect the profession, who care more about money and quantity. They allow...
