    Hello fellow NP students! I am posting this because I am attending an online school that does not provide preceptors and I am so frustrated with it! I have lost 2 preceptors already and haven't even...

  2. Advice for MSN, FNP Programs

    smileyfacefee replied to K.TX BSN.RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would not recommend Walden only because they do not provide much help with finding preceptors. If you can help it save yaself and go to a school that provides preceptors for u! It's been a definite...

    smileyfacefee replied to smileyfacefee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    smileyfacefee replied to aprildawn1221's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Coincidentally I just lost my preceptor for the 2nd time..I thought it would be easy too but am finding that many preceptors will say they can do it but the facility won't let them. Then I also...

  8. Online FNP programs...South University, University of Cincinnati, Walden, etc

    smileyfacefee replied to aprildawn1221's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I attend Walden University and am in my last year (about to start clinicals). I would say it's very feasible for people working part time but if taking 2 classes it would be difficult due to the...

  9. Can you do a NP program 1 class at a time with minimal stress?

    smileyfacefee replied to femaleRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am not aware of any NP school that you can get away with only doing work 1 day a week. Most online schools require you to do posts on 3 different days a week. Also have essays that require research,...

  11. Everyone is in NP school !

    smileyfacefee replied to Atl-Murse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My understanding is that so many NP schools are popping up because of a potential large shortage of doctors is anticipated in the future. In my area I don't see that a lot of nurses are in NP school...

  15. FNP student disliking family practice

    smileyfacefee replied to MiahMSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If worse comes to worse and you really think it's the job and not just the facility influencing your feelings, you can see what options you have for getting a master's of nursing in another area...

    smileyfacefee replied to purrrfect35's topic in General Nursing

    Updated on carecore...they now pay by the hr...and that is around 25 to 30/hr. Which some complain about because they say the hard workers earned more money when getting paid by the case. O well!...

  22. No pump, no drip rates - OR

    smileyfacefee replied to anathema's topic in General Students

    That's right. Sometimes during surgery the patient's blood pressure may drop and the nurse anesthetist may have to increase fluids to get it back up. It is really adjusting the rates based on what's...

  23. No pump, no drip rates - OR

    smileyfacefee replied to anathema's topic in General Students
