  1. Plan of Action

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Shoshanne's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think it would be odd for you to go to school to be an NP and then work as an RN after. NP experience is even more valuable for NP jobs, so if you end up as an NP you might as well TRY for NP jobs...

  2. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've been reading through some threads, and it seems a large number are people desperately looking for preceptors so they can complete clinicals. I wondered how widespread this problem is, and...

  3. NP working as RN?

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

    Many nurses, especially those with experience, make more as RNs than as NPs. Unfortunately, what a lot of people don't understand as they go rushing into an online NP program, is how there are just...

  4. Minimum level of experience for FNP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to grumpygorillaface's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Admitting that someone NEEDS nursing experience before going to NP school is admitting that NP school does not do a good job of preparing providers. If schools required as much clinical as PA schools,...

  5. Chamberlain College of Nursing-FNP...accepted!!!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Apply to regular schools too. Education shouldn't be about what's fastest or cheapest. This is a huge investment, and taking the time to research and apply to good schools will be worth it in the long...

  6. Any currently employmled NPs that graduated from Chamberlain?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to LinseyMartinez's topic in Advanced Practice

    There is no way to answer this is they haven't had a graduating class. All I can say is that there are SOME people who have a bias against for profit schools, and will not hire people from there....

  7. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's very interesting. By their own document, all of these schools that require students to find their own preceptors should not even have accreditation. How on earth are they getting around

  8. Chamberlain College of Nursing-FNP...accepted!!!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is it all paper writing and discussion boards? Even in pharmacology and pathophysiology as

  9. Looking back, would you obtain NP credential??

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Cindy-20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If your FNP took only 9 weeks I am terrified. That's absolutely ridiculous and I don't think anyone should be allowed to practice with a 9 week medical education. If you meant 9 months...honestly...

  10. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wow, yes it's very pathetic. The AACN needs to get their act together. Does no one ask them about this or try to change this at the national level? Do none of the people who have power at the AACN...

  11. Online FNP.. How long? How much?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Angelmolina16's topic in Advanced Practice

    Cost effective, GOOD medical treatment. One does not learn this going to a poorly prepared NP program, especially a for profit

  12. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Its so bizarre to me that people defend lackluster NP programs. These issues - online for profits, self administered clinicals, etc - are the reason physicians don't respect NPs. Its the reason many...

  13. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    With one very, very important distinction: with the PA and MD programs, selecting your own preceptor is simply an option. With most of the NP programs, it is a requirement and the student must either...

  14. UMSL or Maryville? (Saint Louis)

    futureeastcoastNP replied to elise1180's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Here's a review I read on an allnurses thread about maryville: "I began Maryville's FNP online distance program in may. I have worked 60 hrs most weeks and get my homework done during the week at work...

  15. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is exactly what it looks like at most schools that don't secure preceptors, and your story is not uncommon. Unfortunately, it's becoming the norm as schools realize they can get away with...

  16. new grad NP passed ANCC, & just learned program did not receive accreditation

    futureeastcoastNP replied to mag2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm honestly just happy it seems the accrediting boards have finally said no to a program. Are they finally seeing how oversupplied the market is and starting to actually require standards for...

  17. Interview for Minute Clinic

    futureeastcoastNP replied to NPRoseMona's topic in Advanced Practice

    Question: is it true that you don't work at just one store but go to CVS all over a geographic

  18. UMSL or Maryville? (Saint Louis)

    futureeastcoastNP replied to elise1180's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Maryville is for profit. Don't shortchange your education to save one

  19. What is a reasonable new grad offer?

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

    Sounds great then. I'm glad you countered, especially with the vacation time. You will be happy to have that! Good luck at your new position! To all NPs: let this be a lesson. Do NOT take the first...

  20. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No one is saying finding your own preceptor is always worse, just that due to lack of oversight it makes it easier for people to have lackluster clinicals, which is especially important in online...

  21. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm going to Columbia. They provide preceptors. Did you even read this thread? I think the practice is bad for the profession overall, it has nothing to do with my

  22. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Myelin and Dranger - glad you stopped by! Always refreshing to see a few sane posts. You are correct this is clearly not the place to look for like minded individuals who actually see the cliff this...

  23. new grad NP passed ANCC, & just learned program did not receive accreditation

    futureeastcoastNP replied to mag2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    Because the vast majority of pre NPs do absolutely 0 research and actually choose their program based on advertisements and tv commercials? Because most people here value speed and ease of admissions...

  24. Looking back, would you obtain NP credential??

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Cindy-20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Incorrect. I will be attending Columbia University this Fall. But truly I am not an NP, so take my opinion however you wish. I still respect NPs a great deal, it is only because I care about the...

  25. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You get no refund. Your graduation is delayed or you simply don't graduate at all. Outside of allnurses there are hundreds of horror stories of people having to drop out because of this. It's really...
