29AlmostFNP ADN, RN, EMT-P

I can only speak to the RN to FNP program and your course load varies from semester to semester. It can be cumbersome but it’s doable. I’m attending while also working a full time job. They do not find clinicals for you. You have to find your own.

Hey everyone! I recently found out that I was accepted into the Spring 2020 RN to MSN FNP program at the University of Houston Health Science Center Cizik School of Nursing. I think that its a small cohort but I wanted to see if there's anyone else o...

I just wanted to reach out and see how prepared current NPs were when they graduated their NP programs. Honestly I'm getting more and more worried about the lack of training that NPs seem to get. Especially from all these online programs. I am only i...

I was also wondering if there are any good podcasts or playlists on Youtube or something that might be good to take a look at? I am in the FNP program but will eventually do their emergency NP track as well. So I would love resources for either. Than...

Thank you. It's just so difficult during the program because we are responsible for finding our own preceptor. I found one for when I do start clinicals but have not worked with her yet but I am hoping that she will be able to guide me. Also, I am in...

I totally agree that the DNP degree is completely useless at this time. Maybe years down the road when the curriculum is more standardized and less just whatever the university feels like putting in the degree it might be worth it then. But yes I kn...

Actually this might do better in the NP section and not the student NP section. Can anyone move it there or tell me how to do it? Thanks!

I started in the spring of 2020. Icurn40 is the one that was applying for the fall of 2020.

The RN to MSN track is the ADN prepared nurse to the MSN. I never got my bachelors. But I did get a letter from one of my instructors in my ADN program.

I am about to start my ADN at Blinn in Bryan, TX and plan on going all the way through at A&M to get my BSN and eventually my MSN (FNP). I was wondering if anyone has any experience with A&M College Station's program. I am kind of concerned t...

I thought that Texas was not a very restrictive state. All the research that I have done has led me to believe that the NPs in Texas do not need the supervising physician. Or if they do, that they physician only has to look at like 10 percent of the ...

sometimes classes will open up because some people will drop out for one reason or another. I had this issue with my A&P II course. I was enrolled in a fast track course so that I could take A&P I and II in the same semester. I got into A&...

Maybe someone should start a Facebook page for our cohort. We could help each other out and form study groups and stuff if we have contact with everyone.

Its just weird to me to have an ACLS certification at all if not to use what you are certified for? Why would there be an ACLS certification if not to use it. My philosophy is that I have the certification as the RN or paramedic or whatever to know ...

Awesome! I'm so excited! I'm ready to get down to it!

I applied and was accepted to the ADN program at Blinn in Bryan. I applied there because it is closest to where I am living so I wanted to go there. However, I do not know much about the program. Has anyone had any recent experience here and does any...

Wow! That sounds really exciting! Thank you so much for your input and good luck to you in your classes!!

Yeah I'm not too worried about the preceptor part. I am mostly worried about the online courses. I mean is an online course really enough to prepare you to be a primary provider for a patient? Do you feel like you're learning enough and learning what...

Haha I guess it's my fault for having a neutral screen name. My bad lol

I'm a guy lol

Thats awesome! I can't wait!

My facility had the poster board with most employees pictures on it. We also have a standardized scrub color to identify our positions. I am a PCT right now about to go to nursing school. Usually when a patient calls for a nurse I am the first person...

Thanks for the reply! I really hope to find a good group of people to study with. Are the classes pretty big? If they are, I don't know how to find study buddies haha. My understanding is that there are no clinicals first semester? I am kind of grate...

Anyone else super excited to start? I have no idea what to expect!

I was accepted starting this August of 2015. I was wondering how everyone is liking the program so far? How is the first semester? Any tips or advice? I am so excited to start!
