  1. Any nurse practitioners wish they had be physical therapists?

    lwsoccjs replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd be careful throwing the "Doctorate" term around, have you looked at the curriculums? Not saying it is easy for PT's but their doctorate isn't some magical being in

  2. Programs in Florida-Nova/UT/USF

    lwsoccjs replied to abmrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I looked into the Oregon program, I liked that it include two or three extra classes that are science-based and would add to a practitioner knowledge. I know many people can not just move across the...

  3. More preceptors than you need

    lwsoccjs replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you are confusing a residency that medical professionals use that you get paid low wages but you gain experience and are considering learning and the residency he is talking about. Neither...

  4. Experience for FNP Programs

    lwsoccjs replied to cjo85's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Totally agree with SopranoKris. There are many types of NP. If you want acute or neonatal, or even gero maybe but primary care definitely do not need ICU experience, that would make no sense. FNP are...

  5. More preceptors than you need

    lwsoccjs replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you have your choice :). Truthfully by the time you get to graduate school all the instructors are going to say is as follows.... "Here is a 1,000-page book. Read it by end of semester. Do...

  6. More preceptors than you need

    lwsoccjs replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Between the two schools, do they both require the same amount of clinical hours? I know in picking between different schools I would pick the most rigorous one of the two. So I would go with the...

  7. Programs in Florida-Nova/UT/USF

    lwsoccjs replied to abmrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    With the required face to face time, I know it was not an option for me to go to Nova due to distance as I am already driving an hour and forty minutes to USF. I do not think you will be disappointed...

  8. Programs in Florida-Nova/UT/USF

    lwsoccjs replied to abmrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'll respond to previous comments when I'm off work. Since I am on break my brief comment would be what do you mean not many options? In one certain area there is usually one state school? I don't...

  9. Programs in Florida-Nova/UT/USF

    lwsoccjs replied to abmrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There does not seem to be many FNP students on here from Florida so I will chime in. But I do have bias so here it goes. Not all programs are created equal so I will say that up front. NP school is...

  10. Florida nurse looking for input of NP school.

    lwsoccjs replied to jcort91's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not going to lie, after reading that post I had to go to Miami's website to check this 1 yr nonsense out. My goodness, good luck with that who ever graduates and expects that education to be okay...

  11. Any recommendation for an easy RN to BSN program?

    lwsoccjs replied to didiko's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Gosh I wish I could just be given things without having to work for them.... Wouldn't that be nice

  12. GCU FNP & ACNP Patho Advice

    lwsoccjs replied to DavidRNNV's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for all the valuable information, but I would disagree about the 7th ed book you referenced. I had same requirement and actually read the entire book forward and back. Thought it had a lot of...

  13. Online FNP programs

    lwsoccjs replied to kgudecza's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Could not agree with RN2bNP more, the further into your education the more you will realize there is so much you do not know. I could only imagine how someone must feel going to a private online...

  14. How to increase GPA for NP admission

    lwsoccjs replied to Pearl2bNP2016's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Unfortunately, I am not sure there is a way like previously mentioned. It would take atleast 60 semester hours or possibly more to bring up that gpa. I feel very strongly that not everyone needs to...

  15. USF NP Fall 2016...anyone?

    lwsoccjs replied to BerryhappyRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would disagree with this statement coming from receiving my bachelors from UCF and currently attending usfs program they both do a good job. Both Usf and UCF are great, all schools have flaws but...

  16. FNP program stressed out, considering transferring

    lwsoccjs replied to slim23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am very sorry you feel like dropping. Again like I said but will reemphasize if they are "working, stress-free, and acing all tests" there really is something VERY VERY wrong. Think about it,...

  17. FNP program stressed out, considering transferring

    lwsoccjs replied to slim23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would love to know more information to adequately give you advice. Such as "extreme workload" obviously is up for interpretation. So tell me what you average week consists of, such as required...

  18. Fox News says patients waiting to see a doctor will have to "settle for a nurse instead"

    lwsoccjs replied to FrancineRNfrannie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    New's outlets will always follow the people giving the most money. Unfortunately, the average person actually believes anything the lying media

  19. New Nurse

    lwsoccjs replied to cool88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    *Pathetic, go away

  20. Please vote which school would you choose USF MSN CNL vs. University of Cincinnati MSN NP

    lwsoccjs replied to sweetkimchi's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    After rereading, I probably should have known it wasn't here in Florida, I just read the bay area and assumed Tampa. But as University of South Florida it is going well. It is a mix. Online for a lot...

  21. Please vote which school would you choose USF MSN CNL vs. University of Cincinnati MSN NP

    lwsoccjs replied to sweetkimchi's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not sure why you are not applying to the multitude of np programs that Usf has? If np is what you want to be? Usf offers a bunch of different specialties is there something I am not catching here? I...

  22. Why did you pick your NP Program?

    lwsoccjs replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Some places? It really should be looked down in all places that offer public education. I understand the need for private if there were minimal public schools but common there are plenty of public np...

  23. On-site vs On-line MSN

    lwsoccjs replied to laughlove's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Because Rockmay, they have to pass the tests that probably aren't

  24. Why did you pick your NP Program?

    lwsoccjs replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Arranges preceptors , hybrid format with clinicals arranged near me vs near city where campus is, respected in Florida, knew of some nps that have graduated from here, beautiful campus, dedicated...

  25. Fnp vs AG ACNP ... whats the difference? Is one "better" than the other?

    lwsoccjs replied to Aik0's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In response to Aik0, I hope insurance companies actually continue to push for this. Fnp is not trained for acute care so why should we be practicing there? Makes no sense , more of a want than a need....
