  1. American Sentinel University FNP

    muimai10, thanks so much for this information. I am really glad to hear about this, as I am a little....well....concerned about the 3P's. I am going to sign up for APEA and start studying all the...
  2. American Sentinel University FNP

    Hey, I am just starting the process of applying to the FNP Program. Any thoughts about it since you have started? Also, any words of wisdom for Patho?
  3. I am a FNP student, and I just found out I have to interview a NP who works in Primary Care, and who has or currently works in a leadership role. This interview shouldn't take up too much of your...
  4. Hello everyone. I am in the process of starting my own nurse consulting business, with a goal of providing education to families who have a loved-one in hospice. My question is this: I will have...
  5. When I was looking around at FNP programs, I found out that some programs, both online and at traditional brick-and-mortar schools, made their students find their own preceptors. I find this to be...

    Congrat's on finishing school! I start at University of Tampa Jan 20th. I can't wait to be in your shoes about to finish
  7. Schools???

    Though online programs can be enticing, you need to really do your homework. Take a look through these threads and see how many people are "begging" for help trying to find preceptors. Online...
  8. Accepted...have concerns

    Just for my own piece of mind, I would not go to any school that is not accredited yet. That being said, every school has to start somewhere, and they need to have students for their first few...
  9. Names patients call you other than your own name

    I hate being called by Mr. (last name). When I flew for the airlines, I would hate people calling me Capt. (last name). I have a first name, and I prefer people to call me by it. I think it makes...
  10. NA Student

    Hey Zach (or Zachary -- not sure which you like better). Congrats on starting. I remember when I was first starting, I didn't know anybody either. There were 3 other guys in my class, but all of us...
  11. Where is everyone from in the world?

    Born and raised in Miami, Florida. Lived all over the US for my previous career (an airline pilot). Went to nursing school in the Cincinnati area. Now living in Tampa, Florida area. About to start...
  12. I would advise against any online program, whether offered through a for-profit school or traditional brick-and-mortar school. The online programs make you set up all your own clinicals and find your...
  13. Calling all NP's in Minnesota

    Finding your own preceptors can be a big problem, and schools that make you do this should be shut down. It's very unprofessional of them. How many medical schools tell their students to go find...
  14. RELOCATION!

    Incorrect. The DEA license is State Specific, and a new DEA Number will need to be obtained for each stated the practitioner practices
  15. Accepted!

    Congratulations! You must be so excited. I got accepted to the University of Tampa, start in January, and am very excited
  16. So how does it feel like to be a male nurse

    OMG....someone else knows that quote . That's awesome. And it had something to do with pulling down your pants, and slide on the ice. Mash was such a great
  17. west coast university / male nursing student

    I lived in San Leandro, close to Oakland airport, for 3 years. I do miss it. Good luck to you. Hope you make it back to Sac

    Thanks. I use to live in CA...in the East Bay Area, and down in Bakersfield. Moved around a lot for my previous
  19. FNP or NOT ?

    I say go for it! I'm in my late 40's and start my FNP program in Jan. There's a thread somewhere about older students on here, and there are plenty of people like you and me that are either changing...
  20. west coast university / male nursing student

    I went to Northern Kentucky University for my Accelerated BSN program. It was 5 days a week for 18 months. In January I'm starting a Family Nurse Practitioner program at University of Tampa. It...
  21. Questions about nursing school

    So I did an accelerated BSN program....18 months for the whole program. Our class was great....we did a lot of studying on the outside together. Having all the support of my fellow students really...
  22. Starting clinical tomorrow... Tips?

    Lol. I remember doing that too. I think many of us experienced this sort of thing when we first start. Hope it's all going good for you. Learn as much as you can during clinicals....it's really a...
  23. RELOCATION!

    If you are currently a full-time resident of FL, then you do not have compact-state privileges in any other state. You first have to be a full-time resident practicing in a compact state, and then...
  24. Practicing Assessments on Fellow Students?

    During my BSN program, we did physical exams on each other....I'm a male and just wore boxers. The girls wore short pants/boxers, sports bra's, and we all were covered with a gown. It was all done...
  25. west coast university / male nursing student

    Woah! Reality check here.....$130,000+ for a BSN? I finished my pre-requisit classes and did an accelerated BSN program for about $25,000. Now I'm spending another $27,000 for my Family Nurse...
