  1. Any information on the FNP program at the University of Tampa?

    Pilot2FNP replied to nursejl1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have heard lots of good things about the program, and it's a very well-respected program here in the Bay area. I'll be starting there in

  2. Any information on the FNP program at the University of Tampa?

    Pilot2FNP replied to nursejl1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah, I heard that the oral boards have been permanently discontinued. I can't wait to start the program in

  3. MPI of Tampa Fl.

    Pilot2FNP replied to shalondawilks's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was actually an instructor there, so I saw some of the "behind the scenes" chaos that goes on there. It's a real mess. That doesn't mean you shouldn't go there. However you should look at various...

  4. San Antonio FNP Preceptor?

    Pilot2FNP replied to Yammar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I appologize. I have not done any research, as I have too much on plate at the moment, and really don't care about looking into it further. Not really a top priority of mine. All I am saying is...

  5. San Antonio FNP Preceptor?

    Pilot2FNP replied to Yammar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just assuming? Are you ******* kidding me? Of course I'm sure that lots of students get finanicial aid for nursing school, and that these student loans pay the school to help fund the nursing...

  6. MPI of Tampa Fl.

    Pilot2FNP replied to shalondawilks's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't want to discourage you, but MPI is a very disorganized school. The owner isn't a nurse, and she thinks she knows how each and every class should be run. You never know what is going to...

  7. San Antonio FNP Preceptor?

    Pilot2FNP replied to Yammar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Maybe, but it seems like there are a lot of nursing students getting government student loans to pay for their school. Seems like there is a LOT of federal funds being funneled into nursing...

  8. San Antonio FNP Preceptor?

    Pilot2FNP replied to Yammar's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I wish you the best of luck. I wish everyone would boycott schools that don't arrange all your clinical hours and preceptors for you. I turned down a school once they told me I would be responsible...

  9. Hate "Midlevel"

    Pilot2FNP replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not sure about AZ, but there are plenty of states out there that NP's can write home health orders, completely independently --- no physician collaboration needed. Not quite sure about hospice. I...

  10. Hate "Midlevel"

    Pilot2FNP replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I never really gave it much thought, but after reading this article, I have to agree. It really opened my eyes. Kudos to Dr. Michael

  11. Best Place to work in Miami?

    Pilot2FNP replied to rnnctomiami's topic in Florida Nursing

    I wouldn't look at Jackson if you are going to live in Palmetto Bay. The commute would be wayyyy longer than the 20-30 minutes you are looking at. I'd look at Baptist Healthcare System....they have...

  12. Age

    Pilot2FNP replied to rewob716's topic in Male Nursing Students

    So nice to see so many of us doing this. I was an airline pilot in my previous career. I switched into nursing a few years ago, and now I'm going to be starting a MSN in Family Nurse Practitioner...

  13. Are orders needed for dressing changes? QI project question

    Pilot2FNP replied to JessicaLedford's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    ALL dressings should NOT be changed every 24 hours. Some, such as alginate dressings, are left in place from 3-7 days

  14. Nursing program-Low undergrad GPA. Advice welcome!

    Pilot2FNP replied to loveflowers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I disagree with windsurfer8 on the point that most schools look at GPA from your first degree only. I went through an ABSN program myself, and I looked at many schools, and went to 7 different...

  15. Nurse Practitioners/student nurse practitioners

    Pilot2FNP replied to HSanders3's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yeah, books are so 'last century'...lol. Apps are the way to go! Look at a few different ones and see which one you like best...then get

  16. Where do you work?

    Pilot2FNP replied to Nolagrace1202's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not a np yet, but it seems like there are lots of opportunities for you. Just do a job search, and you will see jobs offered in different specialties....sometimes they say, "no on-call, nights,...

  17. FNP school recommendations in Miami, FL

    Pilot2FNP replied to newgrad17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I still can't believe that schools like Barry can get away with not setting up preceptors for you. You pay them good $$$, they should set everything up for you. It drives me nuts to think about...

  18. Thinking about pursuing a career as a Nurse Practitioner.

    Pilot2FNP replied to aFutureNurse7991's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey! Welcome to this site. I'm a male also, and went to nursing school, and now I'm getting ready to start my Family Nurse Practitioner Program (it starts in January). Don't be shy about asking...

  19. NP Preceptors in the OH, KY, IN tristate area

    Pilot2FNP replied to aprilten7's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry to hear about your difficulties in finding a preceptor. Schools that don't arrange all this for you should be ashamed of themselves! To pay good $$ to the school and then being left to find...

  20. finding preceptors

    Pilot2FNP replied to micco's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it's unconscionable for schools to make students go out and find their own preceptors. There is not a single medical school here in the US that makes it's students do that. Why on Earth...

  21. South university

    Pilot2FNP replied to SheenaLee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The problem I have with South University is their parent company, Education Management Corporation (EMC). This company has had numerous lawsuits agains them by students, employees, States, and...
