  1. Too many online NP programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Writing papers on nursing theory and ensuring it is in proper APA format does not build skills as a clinician. It was mindless busy work during my BSN and I imagine it will be mindless busy work for...

  2. Too many online NP programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agree, perhaps we need an NP program ranking list that takes into account acceptance rate, those with lower acceptance rates are ranked higher (this is how US News compiles the undergraduate ranking)....

  3. Challenging Relationships with Doctors

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

    Competition is good for the consumer, and physicians are trying to keep the monopoly on healthcare so they don't have to compete - just as you said in your example, they leave patients waiting for...

  4. Challenging Relationships with Doctors

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

    The brightest minds go into medicine. Do you think it's all because they want to help people? Of course not, the brightest minds choose medicine because it pretty much guarantees high income and job...

  5. Too many online NP programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with this. I think online programs are fine, and honestly I don't see the difference in watching lectures online versus going in person. If anything the extra time saved by not having to drive...

  6. Advocacy: Florida House Committee passes APRN power bill

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    http://health.wusf.usf.edu/post/nurse-power-bill-gets-its-start If fully passed it would allow NPs to apply to be "Independent Advance Practice Registered Nurse" after some experience and work without...

  7. Too many online NP programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Same reason schools don't provide preceptors now: students accept it and don't ask them to change, and it's cheaper for

  8. Commute vs. Tuition savings

    futureeastcoastNP replied to hcm11's topic in School, College Programs

    I believe UPenn gives a good amount of financial aid from what I have

  9. Advice Requested PLEASE!!!

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

    many of the B and M programs still offer the majority of their classes online. There are definitely online programs that I think prepare more competent providers than some B and M programs. Examples...

  10. Advice Requested PLEASE!!!

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

    Zenman is right - the not finding preceptors thing is not limited to online programs. Many brick and mortar programs have started to do the same thing, unfortunately. In addition, not all online...

  11. Advanced Patho

    futureeastcoastNP replied to akatedawson's topic in Advanced Practice

    Try to find the study guide for your book? That might help. which program is

  12. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

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

    Old thread, but I read through a few pages and wow. All I can say is that I'm sure to all those patients who avoided a 2 hour drive to the nearest FQHC, only to be turned away due to over capacity,...

  13. In FNP program, delay or push through?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to EverGraceRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you should do whatever you're most comfortable with. It's a hard situation, but there's nothing wrong with delaying and graduating

  14. Am I too young to get my Masters?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Ashstev's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Never too young for more education! Good

  15. New Grad NP Salary vs Hourly Pay California

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

    Not an NP yet but in my area (which has a lower cost of living than North Cali and more saturation of NPs) NPs usually start at around $60 per hour. You may have undersold

  16. NY Late Aadmission deadline NP program

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Shrizeal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Online programs in New York are not allowed unless approved by the state. There are currently only two - frontier and Samford. Frontier has many start dates and a good reputation so you can check them...

  17. NY Late Aadmission deadline NP program

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Shrizeal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Some online programs stream lectures so you'll still be able to see your professors dancing lol. It seems the trend is to not provide preceptors even at many B and M programs. You need to ask...

  18. Why is it so hard to find a preceptor?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to WRNCEN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No you're right, I'm sorry. I was just a little discouraged reading about the find your own preceptor thing and responded negatively. The Minute Clinic is probably a good place to do first clinicals...

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

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

    You'll do great, Tom, and stay in contact! It may not be the same school but we are still going through at the same time. I wish you the best at

  20. Why is it so hard to find a preceptor?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to WRNCEN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The last thing we need is students doing clinicals at minute clinic, where everything is diagnosed using flow

  21. Duke 2014 Accepted

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jules2msn's topic in School, College Programs

    You're both from Oregon and named Julie? That's so cool lol. I don't think the new curriculum is out yet. Not until

  22. Why is it so hard to find a preceptor?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to WRNCEN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Old thread but now that it's bumped...so sad. I cannot imagine going to a program that doesn't provide preceptors. I also can't believe so many NP students make endless excuses for their schools. For...

  23. what am I worth? negotiating...

    futureeastcoastNP replied to NPmimzy75's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is up to NPs to step up and demand what they think they are worth. Too many NPs just lay back and take whatever because they are afraid to speak up. I suggest you look up average pay, find t what...

  24. Is there Any hope?!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to juststartinout's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I wouldn't fell too discouraged. To be quite honest, there are many FNP programs that aren't all that difficult to get into. A 3.47 is more than high enough, combined with 3 years experience. Do well...

  25. Looking for an online NP program recommendations

    futureeastcoastNP replied to virtuouswoman331's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Mark hill the article you posted is correct: schools like Yale and Harvard do not give an education quality high enough to justify the price tag when compared to a local state school. That has nothing...
