I am trying to network with people who will be starting the NP program this fall so we can be each others support and bounce things off each other when need be. I am starting the program at Drexel. Anyone else starting soon? nervous? I am!! Im exteme...

I have been a nurse for 6 years, 3 of those in the ICU. I am a mom of a 6 month old baby, and soon planning for #2. However, I have always been interested in becoming an NP. SO I applied to Drexel and was accepted =) Just a bit nervous about juggling...

Oh boy, it all just sounds so complicated. Are you going to be going full time or part time? This matters because if you do part time, you will get your BSN in 3 years, then your MSN in another 3. Thats 6 years of school and debt. If you go full time...

Hello!! Wanted to know what different locations FNP students have done their clinical rotations. I am a FNP student with Drexel University and I am particularly interested in Urgent Care. However, I know we have to do an OBGYN rotation, but where el...

Hey all!, I am going to start the FNP program this fall with Drexel University and I was wondering if anyone, with any FNP program, has had any clinical time in an ER. My goal is to have the ER as an option for work after I graduate and I wanted to k...

I thought most ED's would hire FNP's since they have peds training, rather than ACNP's that do not. I could be wrong but that's what I was informed

Tsk Tsk!! Shame on you "professionals" who have "scolded" the OP for her post. Relax!! shes a new user and was not asking a question that she felt has been asked before, for the exception of the NP vs PA question. Now, my opinion to you is to follow...

Yes I have spoken to an advisor already and she told me to just sit tight for now that there will be an email sent out to all of us for further instructions on how to register for our classes. She never said anything about needing to take a patho tes...

OMG!! I also live in the suburbs of philly and I received my BSN from Drexel as well. I love this school which is why i applied to it for my masters. What suburb do you live in? Im in Royersford/Limerick area. Congrats to you as well!!! So we should...

On FB there is a group called Preceptors for Nurse Practitioner Students. find it on FB, request entry, and post what preceptors you need. This group is full of students and preceptors who will help you out.

No im not the one who accepts or declines, sorry. But it usually doesnt take them that long to approve the request.... maybe like a day or so.

There is a group on facebook called Preceptors for Nurse Practitioner Students. Its a closed group, so when you find it, request entry and it will be approved by someone and then you will be a part of it. This group is used to find preceptors whereve...

Looking to get a little more info as to what this program teaches during rotation/clinicals. I start the FNP program this fall and had questions as to what skills one will learn. Do we get to learn how to intubate people? I know we learn sutures and ...

I dont plan on taking it lightly. I know its going to be tough. My anxiety goes through the roof when Im taking tests as it is, let alone a board exam. Have you decided to take the AANP exam this time? I did my own research of the two exams and it lo...
