It’s a tough choice and usually, at least from the experiences of NPs I spoke with or listened to give a lecture, it wasn’t exactly a deliberate decision. They would kind of say “This...
One of my friend in the program found out she was accepted in the seamless dnp track, I would call the school to ask! I had to call to fix my background check clearance so sometimes they just need us...
Thank you for the advice all. And those calculators were extremely helpful! I was kind of playing with the idea of taking out more in loans so I could relocate on my own and cover my cost of living...
I know this question is vague but If you consider the salary of a new NP, how much in loans would you say is reasonable? I know the responses might say “as little as you need to take” but please...
Hi all, I start grad school this fall at the university of Alabama at Birmingham. At orientation, they told us they would wave the OR hours required to complete a First Assist sub-specialty. My major...
Thanks for the reply! This might sound foolish but I re-evaluated my reasons for wanting to be an NP..and for the FA I only thought about money and it sounded exciting and impressive but it's not what...
I don't know if this is ok to post, but I have been following someone on instagram who had a non-nursing undergraduate degree and went into a direct entry RN-NP school. She specialized in PCPNP. If...
Hey all, I have been considering moving to the Triangle area for a while. I enrolled in an NP program at a school other than Duke or UNC CH (university of alabama at birmingham). I know Duke is the...
PA school is intense but it's also broad. I could have gone to PA school for 2-3 years, or to NP school specializing in one area for 2-3 years. Which will come out stronger in that one area, if both...
You're going to get a lot of anecdotal stories in response to this question about how long to wait (if at all) to apply to an NP program. I decided to wait about half a year after I graduated nursing...
I am moving in the next few months, and called the school earlier today to talk about that (also got orientation times: 730a-5p) As long as your state is on their list (link in their letter) you just...
I am not saying I know for sure but maybe it’s having 2 letters from professors? I thought I remembered reading only 1 letter must be from a professor if you have less than a few years experience as...
Hey all! I was accepted!!! Dual ped acute/primary NP MSN program!! I was nervously following this thread, thanks to those who let us know how to find out our status. Wishing everyone here luck and...
Question 1 Just wondering, how many nursing notes do you make per patient per shift around? My job is 1 note per hour for each patient. We are supposed to document when a physician or other...
Hey. So I have a dilemma and I’m looking for advice at what will be the best for my chances to be hired basically I guess. And for the record I do feel morally bad. Sorry for the length of the...
I didn't like Hurst because I thought it was too basic. However, they give you personal help/live nurse teachers if you need it and is a lot more interactive. If you study better with that kind of...
