  1. NJ NP's

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

    Because the Northern part of the state is a giant NYC suburb, most people work in NYC and commute in during the day, and the entire area (for the most part) is extremely affluent and expensive. A lot...

  2. Dear practitoners, quick question on your school

    futureeastcoastNP replied to tarotale's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nothing wrong with OP's point of view. It's very possible (and common) to hate being a bedside RN and love being an NP. You think all physician assistants (who do the exact same role) could handle...

  3. Chamberlain FNP credible?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to MSNrunner's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's a for profit school. Admissions were easy because their main goal is to collect tuition checks, not invest in students. For profit schools rarely, if ever, turn away students. Will you be able to...

  4. Improving NP Education

    futureeastcoastNP replied to matthewandrew's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Reduce fluff classes, increase science courses, increase clinical hours, require incoming students to take upper level science (like organic chemistry and biochemistry), force all programs to provide...

  5. BSN to FNP ???

    futureeastcoastNP replied to 4263people's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You wish to become a provider and make medical decisions for people that could potentially mean life or death...yet you wish you could do even LESS clinical time than required, which is already the...

  6. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    futureeastcoastNP replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    You really need to drop this self-righteous attitude. The oversupply of nurse practitioners has nothing to do with "improving access" and everything to do with greed. Greed on the part of schools...

  7. Reasonable new grad NP offer????

    futureeastcoastNP replied to nursebetty24's topic in Advanced Practice

    1 day per month PTO? If this includes all time off (sick leave, vacation, etc) then yes, it's far too

  8. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    futureeastcoastNP replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    That's because you're in rural Kansas. Rural and poverty-sticken areas are typically the last areas to become saturated for any career, because they are undesirable locations to live. The...

  9. All these NPs making less than RNs?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to 2bnpcout's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The NP market is becoming very saturated due to online programs that take anyone who applies. You yourself just said you had "many coworkers" begin graduating from NP programs. When supply goes up,...

  10. Any currently employmled NPs that graduated from Chamberlain?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to LinseyMartinez's topic in Advanced Practice

    That's not exactly how it works. Your hospital likely has a tuition payment policy, which you could use for any school. Chamberlain probably shows up as "discounted" for employees of your hospital,...

  11. What would you say to a co-worker, negative about DE programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Julia77's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would just make the point that most DE programs attract people who have previous bachelor's degrees in biology, chemistry, and other science heavy majors who were likely even on a premed track....

  12. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think a lot of people here have issues with reading comprehension. Most of us on here have agreed that online schools do not hurt the profession. Online programs from REPUTABLE, RESPECTED, RESEARCH...

  13. Did your school's reputation affect getting hired?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to laRN1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Going to an online school doesn't seem to matter. It's the well known for-profit/diploma mill type schools that affect things. Employers know places like Kaplan and Walden have very low admissions...

  14. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you're talking about for profit programs, there is nothing you can say. If you are talking about online reputable NP programs, such as Vanderbilt or Frontier or Georgetown, simply say: "We only...

  15. Direct primary care/Concierge care

    futureeastcoastNP replied to mursedylan's topic in Advanced Practice

    One thing to think about those is that often times those who pay this concierge service health fee are often of higher incomes. They typically prefer physicians to nurse practitioners. One market that...

  16. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Speaking of for profits, here is what Walden University (a for profit) says about job placement of graduates: What are my chances of getting a job when I graduate? The job placement rate...

  17. Are there any np to pa transition programs?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Sagira's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You can't work because PA is a more rigorous education than online NP. If you go online at least avoid the for

  18. Minimum level of experience for FNP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to grumpygorillaface's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Even if the person has been a successful NP for 20 years? You only care about RN experience? I understand (I guess) if you're talking about a new grad...but don't put THAT much emphasis on RN...

  19. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree...but it's certainly not like NP schools. Pretty much ALL physician assistant programs are competitive to an extent. Unlike with NP programs, a hopeful PA cannot simply give up and sign up for...

  20. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Jreed you seem to be misunderstanding peoples post. Both bsnanat and I have stated we are not against online programs. We are against low standard and for profit programs. Many top programs are...

  21. How do schools know if the student is getting good clinical experience

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Some schools, such as the one zmansc went to, handle the "find your own preceptor" thing very well. They help you if you have trouble, work out the contract details, and work closely with your...

  22. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Also I want to add something to this: EXPERIENCED nurse practitioners from for profits don't apply to this. They become nurse practitioners before the market became saturated, and were able to get...

  23. Plan of Action

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Shoshanne's topic in Advanced Practice

    So either don't work in a hospital once you get your NP license or wait and work 2 years before getting your NP degree. It's going to be much harder getting a job if you graduate and then spend 2...

  24. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Glad to see some people on this forum see things accurately. These for profit programs are ruining the profession every way possible. Credibility, over saturation, knowledge base. Every nurse in...

  25. NP working as RN?

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

    Your views are right on point. Unfortunately, you will be met with hostility and told you are wrong, and that for profits are wonderful institutions. You will be told that they are very rigorous and...
