  1. Should cost matter when picking a program?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to brsm's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agree with above. By choosing Salem State your fiancée is still avoiding the for profit schools, which is already a step above what seems like half of the pre-NPs on this forum. Simmons is supposed...

  2. Why do nurses love for profit schools?

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Not trying to be flamed, so please think logically and only post well thought out arguments (not personal attacks, etc). I would like to know why nurses, from RNs to NPs, seem to be so enamored with...

  3. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    Thanks for posting that Dranger. So NPs must limit hard science courses to be cost effective, yet there's room for "curriculum instruction" "health policy development" and "organization leadership"??...

  4. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    Honestly, the DNP programs are stretching out NP education to be as long as medical school, yet they still cannot seem to find the space to add in a few medical microbiology or gross anatomy courses?...

  5. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    People here seem to think adding a few science courses to the NP curriculum would suddenly make it similar to medical school. It wouldn't. I don't think anyone here is advocating NP school to be...

  6. Anyone in Advanced Patho?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to HikingEDRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I certainly hope so. Don't you hope and expect graduate level patho (to be a provider no less) to be harder and more in depth than undergraduate level

  7. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    PAs include advanced science training, including cadaver labs, and they are you'll cost effective. The difference? They don't waste half of their credits on

  8. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    And it's an osteopathic school, so there are still NO for profit MD schools. In addition, most physicians and students fully voice their opposition to it with no problem, on all types of forums. Here,...

  9. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    Go to other sites and see what those posters think of NPs. Those are our future colleagues. Older doctors are used to older NPs, those with tons of experience that went to reputable schools and had...

  10. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    And personally I think every NP should be required to learn more hard science in school. Why is it that you brush off everyone else's opinion about the NP profession and education process by asking...

  11. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    I think nursing policy and theory courses are fine, and they certainly don't hurt, AS LONG AS they don't take place of legitimate clinical based and science courses. The problem is, it seems the...

  12. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    Gross anatomy is probably the biggest thing. Beyond that, I'd probably argue that NP programs could use specific requirements for a skills class (suturing, etc) as well as a diagnostic imaging class....

  13. Congratulations, NPs of NY!

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

    Wonderful, a big win in such a large state. No residency requirement before

  14. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    Because I don't think it should be optional that NPs have advanced science knowledge. That would mean those NPs that are not motivated to be the best could still squeak by without that knowledge,...

  15. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    I don't get why people think that all the wonderful qualities that NPs bring to the table means there shouldn't also be advanced science. Yes, NPs have prior experience. Yes, NPs approach care from a...

  16. Preceptors for Student NPs

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

    I'm actually glad you posted that - I say on this forum all the time that fully online FOR profit schools look bad for the profession, and that to an outsider it may cause a lack of respect for the...

  17. Preceptors for Student NPs

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

    The less reputable ones are the ones that only want to collect tuition money, and thus they have less demanding entrance criteria because their goal is maximum enrollment vs ensuring students will...

  18. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

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

    It's because rather than increasing standards for admissions, we're decreasing them, allowing online for profit schools with no admissions standards to open. Osteopathic schools, while easier than MD...

  19. Advice Requested PLEASE!!!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to 2BFNP29's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Great info, thanks dollikoe! To OP, make sure you actually click potential schools and read the info from this link, it tells you about number of full time faculty, graduation rate, etc. I was able to...

  20. FNP.. best school? OU? Cinci???

    futureeastcoastNP replied to bufflindsay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've never heard of UC being that much better than OU so I don't see why you'd spend the extra

  21. Advice Requested PLEASE!!!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to 2BFNP29's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is nothing negative about informing a potential student about a school being for profit, but I apologize if it offended you. Most schools are not for profit - the best schools in the country are...

  22. Advice Requested PLEASE!!!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to 2BFNP29's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Chamberlain is a for profit business. I'd look elsewhere

  23. Preceptors for Student NPs

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

    Some online schools help find preceptors, and some brick and mortar schools don't. It's not an online versus in person thing, it's a top school versus lower ranked school thing. In general, the better...

  24. USA online np course format

    futureeastcoastNP replied to HikingNinja's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is 80% a good pass rate? The national average is like 94% isn't

  25. Is there Any hope?!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to juststartinout's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Easiest way to tell is to check Wikipedia of any school you're interested in. If it says "for profit" than they just want you to pay them and you should
