  1. Masters in Midwifery with no nursing experience help!?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to midwifetobe92's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Suny Downstate, if I am not mistaken, takes students with no RN degree into their MIDWIFE program. Very different from a NURSE MIDWIFE. A nurse midwife is a type of APRN and is recognized in all 50...

  2. University of South Florida, Vanderbilt, MUSC, & GSU

    futureeastcoastNP replied to brb3d's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with you on that at

  3. FTC and NPs

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

    Yes, speaks about NP independence from a market standpoint: that not allowing NP independence is essentially allowing physicians to have a "monopoly" of sorts on healthcare and does not encourage...

  4. FNP Walden

    futureeastcoastNP replied to koko2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As BostonRN13 said, this is a huge hot button issue here because Walden is a for profit university, which are generally more in it for the money than the education process. There are many...

  5. University of South Florida, Vanderbilt, MUSC, & GSU

    futureeastcoastNP replied to brb3d's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In other threads you said online programs are horrible, and now you are saying you've heard great things about Vanderbilt's distance program. Make up your mind, please. You're very

  6. Online nurse practitioner programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Chillnurse, Frontier is not for profit, has an excellent reputation, has a high pass rate, and is even ranked by USNews in the top 20 NP programs (for what it's worth). I'm not sure why you are hating...

  7. FNPs, I need your input!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to stickit34's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Impressive. Your poor car!

  8. Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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

    For private loans, I highly recommend "CU Student Loans" - google it. It's a collection of CREDIT UNIONS, which are much better than dealing with big banks and other private loan companies. They have...

  9. Online nurse practitioner programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Exactly. OP, you posted this same false information in another thread. It's irresponsible to make up statistics about a school like that - where on earth did you get 60% pass rate? Frontier is one of...

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

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

    Tom, no mine changed too and I was accepted. I think they simply switched the layout yesterday. Don't give up

  11. ACNP job question - please advise

    futureeastcoastNP replied to kathrn99's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Location, location, location - just like real estate. You have to say your geographical location for people to know if that's a good salary. In SoCal or NYC? Probably

  12. Please help w/ path?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to spaceinthesky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Also to answer some of your other questions: 1. I know many PMHNPs with their own practice. It's the easiest type to set up as there is very little overhead. You'd have to live in an independent...

  13. Please help w/ path?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to spaceinthesky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ^Chillnurse is wrong on many fronts, so don't take that advice. First, I would transfer to the BSN program. Then you could at least get student loans/scholarships to cover the cost. If you got to an...

  14. new NP cant find a job

    futureeastcoastNP replied to SheRN1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're way off base and wrong about Frontier. Frontier is not a for profit school (those are the real problem). Frontiers pass rate for boards in 2013 was 99% and it's 90% average since 2007. Don't...

  15. Online nurse practitioner programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are numerous posts on this. I don't believe it is online programs that are the problem, many of the top programs (Duke, Vanderbilt for example) offer online programs. It's for profit programs...

  16. APRNs and Student APRNs - when did you decide...

    futureeastcoastNP replied to richardgecko's topic in Advanced Practice

    I knew before I even started my BSN. In college I researched careers, made a list, and shadowed/talked with people in each field on my list. In the end I narrowed it down to NP and PA, but decided on...

  17. Nurse practitioner Salary

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

    This poll isn't helpful unless you say how many ears

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

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

    I know this thread is pretty much dead but a quick question for those who know: does Duke set up clinical sites for students, including out of

  19. What Must I do???

    futureeastcoastNP replied to ACarmella's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP: 1. Why were you studying Biomolecular science if your goal was to become an NP? I suspect you were a pre-med, realize you can't get into medical school with that low of a GPA, so you are doing NP...

  20. FNPs in the Hospital?

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just curious, if I go the FNP route am I limiting myself to outpatient forever? Is it possible to be hired inpatient hospital positions as an FNP? What about emergency room?

  21. ACNP Question

    futureeastcoastNP replied to WitnessRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is why I am against the main theme of this board that EVERYONE should become an FNP. Anyone on here who asks whether they should go FNP or ACNP is told to do FNP for better "flexibility", then...

  22. FNPs, I need your input!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to stickit34's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for this! As for the looking things up, I know this will sound silly, but when do you do it? Do you do your exam then run out of the room and look stuff up? Or do you read the chart, look up...

  23. FNPs, I need your input!

    futureeastcoastNP replied to stickit34's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Brit, thanks for that insight! How long have you been an NP? How long were you an RN before NP school? Also, I'm curious how often you have to look things up? Are you going straight through your day...

  24. APRN Advocacy: Article Disparages NPs

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just saw this article taking about the new bill in Florida to expand NP independence. While it may not have been intentional, the article really downplays NP education saying that they have "a two...

  25. APRN Advocacy: Article Disparages NPs

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

    It does seem they are very anti NP but maybe this time it will pass. Seems to have a lot of support. I do find it curious that Southern states are so anti NP. It seems like Pacific Northwest and...
