  1. Easiest/quickest online MSN-DNP program

    lwsoccjs replied to ClayH's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Now that's at least a reasonable more down to earth response

  2. Easiest/quickest online MSN-DNP program

    lwsoccjs replied to ClayH's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You'll be grandfathered in. No different than pharmacy when they made the transition. No different than physical therapy or pick any medical profession. The way they stop the masters from practicing...

  3. Writing the Prescription to Fix Broken Nurse Practitioner (NP) Education (Pt. I)

    lwsoccjs replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I still lol whenever I see a statement that is short sided like the residency idea. Yeah, it's a good idea but how do you suppose we make it efficient for the thousands of graduating students. Some...

  4. Easiest/quickest online MSN-DNP program

    lwsoccjs replied to ClayH's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Agreed, if only the Doctorate Degree did anything for my clinical judgement. The one thing the public will need to deal with on an everyday basis with me as their provider.

  5. How much did NP school prepare you?

    lwsoccjs replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are still very few NP residencies. While more may be opening they tend to focus in specific states. Or they tend to focus in a specific region. Primary care residency are far and few between. So...

  6. How much did NP school prepare you?

    lwsoccjs replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would argue that PA school does require 2,000 hours of on hand patient interaction at any respectable school. So there are many that a paramedics and nurses that go to PA. If you need any example...

  7. How much did NP school prepare you?

    lwsoccjs replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lol, halfway through Cecil. That is forgiven. It is a thick book with dense reading. Atleast you didn't mention Harrison's as basic reading . I would argue that physics is the least useable of the...

  8. How much did NP school prepare you?

    lwsoccjs replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah I can understand what you mean. Another good point of a bullet list of things to improve in our education. Why is it some programs make getting the hours easy and others make it impossible. This...

  9. How much did NP school prepare you?

    lwsoccjs replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well the clinical portion has much to do with where you are placed and the simulations the school offers the didactic you have a lot of control over. Many NP programs if part-time are 7 credits or...

  10. B&M vs Online

    lwsoccjs replied to Owlgal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Huh, at no point did I state I was in or going to medical school. I am in NP school as we speak. My argument was in reference to the minimum competency that is expected of us. I have reviewed NP, PA,...

  11. 2 yrs exp. ideal to go for FNP?

    lwsoccjs replied to ella2990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well good luck

  12. 2 yrs exp. ideal to go for FNP?

    lwsoccjs replied to ella2990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would add that becoming an NP is not just about learning more. Make sure you are going into it for the right reason. NP is about taking on the provider role. If you do not want that responsibility...

  13. B&M vs Online

    lwsoccjs replied to Owlgal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Lol. Encountered it over and over. I'm not talking about the common presentations. I guess we will agree to disagree. I'd take knowing what to look for opposed to not recognizing it from lack of...

  14. B&M vs Online

    lwsoccjs replied to Owlgal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Also experience is important but so is general knowledge from academic study. Doesn't matter if you have 100 years experience. If you don't learn it you will consistently over look things. That is...

  15. B&M vs Online

    lwsoccjs replied to Owlgal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Dodongo: Thank you, for catching that . I'll leave it at this. You don't know what you don't know. If all we care about is minimal outcomes regarding top ten diseases in primary care then good for us...

  16. B&M vs Online

    lwsoccjs replied to Owlgal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wow, you just do not get it. What I am saying is the content that is taught at NP school is watered down. It lacks the depth that I would like out of a degree. The fact that you're understanding the...

  17. B&M vs Online

    lwsoccjs replied to Owlgal's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Could not agree more with you Dodongo. There are many of us on the boards that agree with you. On the side note concerning working while going to school here is my take. If you believe for a second...

  18. AANP PASS 2017

    lwsoccjs replied to ashleeg87's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Regarding the Leik questions. Were they similar in difficulty to the AANP test

  19. Grand Canyon FNP Program

    lwsoccjs replied to amandafletcher8's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know of a student currently attending the university. One was in their FNP track then other in a psychology degree. The FNP seems very like all the other online private schools. It will most likely...

  20. Anyone taken the AANP in 2017?!

    lwsoccjs replied to CattyNattyRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To clarify aren't all of those topics you posted common primary care topics that should have been addressed over and over in your schooling. While I have not finished my schooling I am very close and...

  21. I just failed my aanp exam june 2017

    lwsoccjs replied to RM, MSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just to chime in. While I am still in my program and am getting closer to the end I have a question for the students that are failing these exams. I honestly don't understand how the material can be...

  22. RN to NP online program

    lwsoccjs replied to Skelly14's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I considered not posting, but I'll keep it short. So you want to skip the basic requirement of requiring a bachelors degree? Then you want to jump to NP all while doing it online? Do you have years...

  23. Tampa FNP programs - USF vs UT

    lwsoccjs replied to change2017's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I do attend one of these colleges. I will say there is a big difference between the two. Are you honestly asking which is better or trying to reaffirm your thoughts because you have already been...

  24. RN Refresher Courses for FNP School Prep

    lwsoccjs replied to julceaux's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Go to Khan Academy and watch all of the videos under Health & Medicine. That is what I did prior to starting my program. It lacks some depth in a few areas but will definitely address any holes in...

  25. Average DNP loans

    lwsoccjs replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yeah, 120k is way to much if that is just tuition. If that is total after all education from misc undergrad etc, then you can work with it, but 120k for just the NP portion is the school ripping you...
