  1. Part-Time NP Programs: Opinions?

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just wanted to know what people think about part time NP programs. I've noticed MANY nurses go to NP school part time, taking one class a semester for 3-4 years until they become an NP. Personally,...

  2. Letters after name? FNP, APRN, etc

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was just wondering, what dictates the letters after your name when you become an NP? I've noticed some NPs, even at the same practice, gave different letters. I have seen: RN, APN APRN...

  3. Shorter Online FNP Programs?

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've been looking around trying to find a shorter online FNP program - 18 months or less. The reason for this is that I feel the pacing of most FNP programs is too slow in order to accommodate working...

  4. Columbia University MSN-FNP

    futureeastcoastNP posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Anyone on here apply to Columbia's MSN-FNP program? Not the DIRECT entry program, but the Master's program for BSNs. What are your stats? Also love to hear from current students in the Master's...

  5. List of 100% Online Acute Care NP Programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Colorado Yeti's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Actually, I did find an online PA program. First I've heard of it. From University of Wiconsin. Still, a PA asking this same question would be laughed at considering their "online" program requires 12...

  6. List of 100% Online Acute Care NP Programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Colorado Yeti's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, there isn't. The only online PA program that exists is an online masters completion program for PAs who already have a bachelors or certificate in PA studies. They've already done the hands on...

  7. List of 100% Online Acute Care NP Programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Colorado Yeti's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Really? Heaven forbid you have to "inconvenience" yourself learning skills in person before becoming a provider and taking care of patients. How do you expect the school to ensure you know what you...

  8. South University FNP MSN program???

    futureeastcoastNP replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Um, no. South University is a for profit school. There are no for profit medical or pharmacy schools because they know for profits tend to ruin professional image. I think you looked up the wrong...

  9. Boycott schools that make you find your own preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Pilot2FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think that perfectly sums up how I feel about what zmansc has been saying. zmansc, we understand that sometimes rural students need to set up their own clinicals since they don't have local...

  10. Let's make a list of all online FNP programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to rynophiliac's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, they have, as have some other states including NY. This is wonderful and I hope more states do it, because it prevents those diploma mill for profits from operating. NC has plenty of NP programs...

  11. online FNP program no GRE for NC

    futureeastcoastNP replied to eneali's topic in Advanced Practice

    The GRE probably is useless in most master and PhD programs, where the phenomenon of "self selection" occurs (aka: only the bright apply in the first place). As we have seen from posts on this board,...

  12. Let's make a list of all online FNP programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to rynophiliac's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Good luck! I did a ton of research on online programs in case I wasn't able to get into my local program (Columbia) and by far the top 3 seem to be Georgetown, Simmons, and Duke. All of them have big...

  13. Duke FNP Fall 2015

    futureeastcoastNP replied to OBigdog26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's a wonderful service to the patients of NC, however, as they won't run into as many for profits grads unprepared to treat them. I applaud any state that takes steps to limit the ability for any...

  14. Boycott schools that make you find your own preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Pilot2FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    zmansc, Every time this comes up, you defend it because it worked for YOU. I understand that it worked for you. We all do. But things just fell fell into place for you - you had a network of contacts...

  15. Let's make a list of all online FNP programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to rynophiliac's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi uscg2RN, I go to Columbia for my NP program currently. No, there are no good for profit programs. Outside of nursing, for profit schools are a joke. They don't exist in medicine or PA programs....

  16. ku vs vanderbilt vs southern alabama

    futureeastcoastNP replied to rawz2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    they are including living expenses. That will throw off calculations. You need to compare cost of tuition

  17. ku vs vanderbilt vs southern alabama

    futureeastcoastNP replied to rawz2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    Where do you get that? Vanderbilt tuition is $1195 per credit, and the FNP is 39 credits =

  18. Boycott schools that make you find your own preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Pilot2FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They don't. And do you really think places like Walden or other for profit (and a lot of greedy not for profits) care whether or not they are creating competent providers? If they did they wouldn't...

  19. Finding Preceptors?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thats the school giving them some flexibility regarding less than 5% of their overall clinical hours when residency is factored in, with the vast majority of med student hours still being entirely set...

  20. Let's make a list of all online FNP programs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to rynophiliac's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most of these are for profit programs. Better advice would be to look at the USNews top NP programs list and then see which programs from THAT list have an online component. Those are the more...

  21. Finding Preceptors?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is way too much to point on a student. Schools should be doing this themselves. Could you imagine medical students marching around town with resumes looking for clinicals and taking whatever they...

  22. ku vs vanderbilt vs southern alabama

    futureeastcoastNP replied to rawz2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    Sorry, I thought KU was Kaplan, in which case yes it would be worth it for Vandy. University of Kansas is a well known school and while it doesn't carry the Vanderbilt name I can't imagine anyone...

  23. ku vs vanderbilt vs southern alabama

    futureeastcoastNP replied to rawz2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    What a silly question. Of course school matters for jobs, just as it does in EVERY profession. All things being equal, the ivy league grad will get the job over the state school grad, the traditional...

  24. Boycott schools that make you find your own preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Pilot2FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Programs do the find your own preceptor thing because they can. Most nurses care more about ease of admissions, as evidenced by the endless threads on this website looking for schools that don't...

  25. Stay away from Walden University

    futureeastcoastNP replied to BLACK HAWK's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I suggest you look into non profit schools first. There is absolutely no reason to choose to receive your education at Walden. There is a very large group of people who will never take your degree...
