  1. Does it really matter?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to vincentrn's topic in Advanced Practice

    You should go with whichever program has a more challenging curriculum, higher board pass rates, and a better reputation. Don't shortchange your education because one has an "easier" admissions...

  2. Online vs Traditional NP school

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Retired APRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I certainly agree with you and have nothing against online programs. I just think the accreditation boards have done a very bad job at ensuring all programs are high quality. I don't think should...

  3. Online vs Traditional NP school

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Retired APRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are correct here and I think this is one of the biggest college schemes in recent memory. Many of these online programs are charging tens of thousands of dollars in tuition and for what? They...

  4. Online vs Traditional NP school

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Retired APRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Even though the content is online for online programs, clinicals are still done in person. I'm a huge advocate of online learning if done correctly - there is no difference in watching lectures online...

  5. Seasoned FNP tell me the truth....

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jaznia15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Think of try as a paid residency. Get some experience, a very nice salary for a residency, and then move somewhere you'd enjoy armed with all that knowledge and

  6. About That Avatar...

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Good point, but I am quite curious about something: you had two people post on allnurses about how miserable they were in your unit...maybe you guys should figure out what's going on? Could there be...

  7. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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

    I believe its email notification. Mine have all had green checks for a long time. I'm

  8. Online FNP with live classes

    futureeastcoastNP replied to raeenna's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Try your local brick and mortar schools - I've found that while they may not advertise as an online program, a lot of them offer most of the classes online with only occasional on campus time (once...

  9. NYS accredited/accepted online nursing programs

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

    Frontier and Samford are the two hey have

  10. Programs that Start May/June 2014?

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Does anyone know of FNP programs that start in the summer of 2014 instead of the fall and still have time to apply? I've applied to a few programs, all of them start Fall 2014. I'm currently not...

  11. Online FNP Programs vs B&M

    futureeastcoastNP replied to ISLANDER RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ok, I thought that might have been what you were thinking. She actually said private, NOT for profit though. Trust me, I would have been all over that if it had a been a for-profit school - I'm very...

  12. PLEASE Consider Repution of your NP Program!!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I researched Simmons a lot and it seems to be an excellent program. I would recommend it above the other two for sure. I actually knew an NP from U Cincinnati and she never seemed that prepared or...

  13. Online FNP Programs vs B&M

    futureeastcoastNP replied to ISLANDER RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am quite confused on your point about private schools? The top schools in the country (Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Duke, etc etc) are private

  14. What the $$$$$

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Umberlee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Which school is

  15. Online FNP Programs vs B&M

    futureeastcoastNP replied to ISLANDER RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it's not so much about traditional being better than online, but rather some programs are just better. There are quite a few traditional programs in my area that have horrible reputations, yet...

  16. Dual license, NYS/Pa, online FNP clinical question

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I assume your question is related to the annoying limit NY places on online NP programs, blocking all but about two programs: Frontier and Samford. The answer is that if you live in NY you can still...

  17. What the $$$$$

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Umberlee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most schools opt you into health insurance if you don't prove you have private

  18. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

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

    And I guarantee that a large number of physicians would probably fail an ANCC or AANP exam meant for FNPs. The reality is that these exams are standardized for their populations. They test and tweak,...

  19. Half Question/Half Pet Peeve

    futureeastcoastNP replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's unfair and obviously sex/gender discrimination has no place in the workplace or anywhere else. Women and men can do equally well in all professions. That being said, I do know that some schools...

  20. What is the quickest masters degree?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Chris the Nurse's topic in Western Governors University

    You shouldn't have to get a whole Master's - enroll in a local or online graduate program and start taking courses towards something medical or healthcare, like biomedical science or MSN in nurse...

  21. Meely-Mouthed Recruiters

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

    The email didn't seem snotty really to me. Anyway, just look your best and act confident, I'm sure you'll do great and I wish you

  22. Shorter Online FNP Programs?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What's the cost?? edit: I think I missed he deadline for summer applicants. It says they accept for fall too but apparently you can't do full time if you start in the

  23. FNP programs

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

    I don't know anything about South but I know it's for profit. I've heard bad things about Kaplan

  24. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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

    Hi grace33! I'm applying to the FNP program, stats similar to yours (slightly lower GRE, but 4.0 GPA), except NO RN experience (can't get a job in NYC). I hope not everyone for the MSN has stats like...

  25. FNP programs

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

    That's correct, the core courses required to be an FNP must be in every FNP program, regardless of ranking, for-profit status, etc. So regardless of your choice, as long as you put in the work, you...
