1. Anyone Accepted into Ohio State's Online FNP?

   lv2learn replied to lv2learn's topic in NP Students

   I was told in my meeting with the adviser that we attend campus once, which is the orientation this month and we are not expected again until graduation. I am registered for classes, too. Did either of you enroll in any synchronous classes? I think w...

2. Anyone Accepted into Ohio State's Online FNP?

   lv2learn replied to lv2learn's topic in NP Students

   Hi mkrist! I am excited to start the program and glad to meet a fellow classmate. I know what you mean about pathophys. Yikes! Will you be going to the orientation at the end of the month? Do you live in Ohio?

3. Deferred enrollment twice, considering deffering again

   lv2learn replied to NTPinky's topic in NP Students

   Hi NTPinky, There are so many programs out there, all of varied quality. I don't think that online programs should be deemed sub par based solely on the fact that there is a distance format. It all depends on the structure of program. Whether in pers...

4. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2014

   lv2learn replied to ThisNurseIs's topic in NP Students

   Hi UMG, Are you kidding? That's ridiculous. CSUDH seems awful! Have you listened to their webinar for the FNP program on youtube? It left a lot to be desired; really amateurish. I looked at University of San Diego (too expensive), San Diego State (no...

5. NP working as RN?

   lv2learn replied to APei's topic in NP

   Hi there, I, too, am worried about the future of the NP. I have wanted to purse NP for quite some time. Family/financial obligations put me on the slow road, but now that I am in a program and ready to proceed...it seems so is everyone else! Wanting ...

6. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2014

   lv2learn replied to ThisNurseIs's topic in NP Students

   Hi Undermercy&grace, I really wanted this to be a good program. I had planned to apply, until one of my coworkers failed to be selected after investing efforts as a "conditional student" in the FNP program. She wasted the time and money she could...

7. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

   lv2learn replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in NP Students

   I think that, when researching programs, people should make it a point to only choose from those that provide preceptors. It's not feasible to select a program that you are aware doesn't assist with that process and then be disappointed when clinical...

8. ADN's being pushed out

   lv2learn replied to MSN Student's topic in ADN/BSN

   I went directly from an ADN to a BSN immediately after I got my RN in 2012. There were grumblings about the ADN not being able to get hired, so I did not want to wait to get the BSN. My employer made it very clear that the only reason I was hired was...

9. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

   lv2learn replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Learning

   What?! Now they're picking apart HOW you got your BSN, separating RN/BSN from straight 4 year education? Where does it end. Ugh.

10. BSN from 4 year program required

    lv2learn replied to tokmom's topic in ADN/BSN

    I took the content of the ad to mean that the employer is requiring a 4 year degree without specifications about straight 4 years or RN-BSN. I think they just want a BSN.

11. What age did you complete your BSN or ASN?

    lv2learn replied to mee9mee9's topic in ADN/BSN

    ADN 45, BSN 47...MSN/NP to start in the fall, will complete at 49!

12. CSUDH FNP program

    lv2learn replied to t.victoria18's topic in NP Students

    Hi there, I worked with someone who went through the beginning portion of the program. Apparently, the way they do it is you take core courses then have to petition for the program, where some are accepted and some not. What's sad is she was not chos...

13. What advice would you give to a new Student

    lv2learn replied to dixieyid305's topic in Excelsior

    Hi there. I am a 2012 ADN graduate of Excelsior. If I can give you any advice at all, it is to do your absolute best. The grades you attain at Excelsior will follow you and determine your ability to be accepted into undergrate programs and, believe i...

14. Anyone Accepted into Ohio State's Online FNP?

    lv2learn replied to lv2learn's topic in NP Students

    Hi MwtM! Hope all is well with you. Interesting info...I downloaded the handbook and saw the changes that include classes such as Quality Improvement. Yikes. That seems like it's going to entail a lot of paper writing. Do you plan to attend the orien...

15. Anyone Accepted into Ohio State's Online FNP?

    lv2learn replied to lv2learn's topic in NP Students

    Hi MwtM! Great news! Did you apply to many other schools? I'm told that the application process was so competitive for Ohio State, especially for the FNP, so we are very fortunate. I can't wait to find out more information. Do you know any other peop...
