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 started my first clinical rotation. I have talked t...

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 headache for.me and many others with that.

The program has been going ok. I actually had to sit out this semester because I couldn't find another preceptor so short of notice. I am still having a tough time finding a precept or and am looking into other options. Now that the medical school in...

So i have had 2 preceptors willing to do it but their workplace said no. A lot of the places in my area have contracts with schools and won't take students from other schools...and depending on your np type you won't be able to precept in certain pla...

All i can say is that I am pretty much in the same boat. Lost 2 preceptors u had already. It's so aggravating.

Hello! 2 of my preceptor's went to Walden University and they have not had trouble getting jobs in my area. I am also a Walden student currently. When I was choosing I was looking between south and walden...I ended up choosing Walden because South at...

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 didn't realize that they can't be in a practice with a ...

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 requirement of clinical hours..but there are people who...

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, tons of reading, tests. And to make matters worse...

I think it is the area because there are a lot of jobs for NPs available where I am. I am wondering though...our medical college recently got the acute care and adult Gerontology programs. .pretty soon the area will begin to follow and begin requirin...

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 but there are a lot of students in nursing school! ...

As of right now I am in the advanced pathophysiology class. The quizzes for this class seem to range from 25 to 40 questions so far. The only other class I had quizzes in so far was statistics which if u have 2 take that I believed they also had abou...

Open book. Some are timed and some are not...which sometimes makes open book difficult

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 maybe?

Hi summerly! What school do you attend? I think i will graduate a round that time but I'm i terested in what school is offering that specialization course?

Nursejaye! You definitely have a lot on your plate! Is transferring to a closer school an option? Or temporarily relocating closer to the school? Good luck and don't give up! Good luck.

I've heard there is a fb page with preceptors but I have no idea what the link is. Also...my state has an advanced practice organization and there are preceptors on that too. Maybe you can see if your state has something similar? I also have some lin...

I am completing mine at Walden. A lot of reading and writing but professors are helpful and there are resources such as the writing center, where u can have your papers reviewed. There's also a resource called grammerly that checks for grammatical er...

I am completing my 1st year of the RN-MSN program. I am actually just crossing the hump of the BSN part and will start my graduate classes in May. I will have a break starting next week until the end of May and I am thankful! So far I have gotten an ...

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! Can't please em all! These changes may be because the...

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 going on with the patient at that time. Patients vi...

We do not use pumps in our OR either and it seems this is standard. You can look up AORN standards (Association of periOperative nursing) for info. Antibiotics are expected to be ran in within a certain time of the incision as a best practice. But in...

So far it has been a good experience. I did the rn - msn program so I had 2 prerequisites 2 take b4 getting into the nursing classes. So far the classes have been mostly about the issues in healthcare and using evidenced based practices. A lot of ess...

I made like a d when I initially took it. Then I took it again and passed. Just try again!
