Securing preceptors is such a difficult task. I've been very fortunate at the last minute by finding preceptors. For my first semester, I asked my PCP -which she agreed. Ask your PCP if she/he is willing to precept you as a student. However, when I f...

I don't believe they can deny your admission due to your hepatitis status; that's hard cold discrimination - which is unethical. Know your rights: What College Students with Hep B Need to Know About Health Forms and Disclosure - Hepatitis B Foundatio...

Try searching for public university programs that are within your state. Programs that are out of state and those that are more well-known tend to be more expensive. I'm not paying 225/credit but my total will be under 20k. My goal is to have no debt...

I'm in my 2nd semester of NP school and I feel the same way at times. Not depressed at all, more of a procrastinator than anything. I think I am just easily distracted. I cannot blame it on work, because I only work 2-3 days a week with call. I am en...

It's difficult. I attend an in-state university. The instructors will help you, but it is still the student's responsibility. And even programs that aren't distance learning (in-class) - many of those programs still hold the student responsible for l...

My school sends it directly to my clinical site as well. However, I did not request a copy - did not feel the need to.

I have a HP printer, Officejet HP-8610 to be exact. It can print, fax, copy, scan and is wireless. Having a HP, I decided to purchase the HP insta-ink. It's a monthly payment, with different options. One option is to pay 4.99/month for 100 printed pa...

26. Started my MSN/NP last semester.

hey Ashley, How did you go about meeting this preceptor. I am in the same boat. I have a preceptor that I have no prior relationship with, who agreed to precept me during this upcoming semester. Did you end up scheduling a meeting with him/her prior ...

I'm starting my first clinical rotation this Spring. It's advanced health assessment, with a provider I have no relationship with. How was your first clinical rotation like? How much did you do? What advice, tips or recommendations do you have? Also...

I'm doing school full-time and yes, I am still working - (3) 10 hour shifts.

You'd probably be better off researching on your own then asking about certain schools, once you narrow your search down. There's way too many schools to choose from to be honest.

As long as the program does not require RN experience, you sound like a pretty good candidate to me. Good luck!

Honestly, as the PP stated, it's your choice. Do you want to be a nurse practitioner? If you love your current job and have absolutely no genuine intention of a change in profession - listen to yourself, not your mother. Do what makes you happy. This...

To be completely honest, that is a lot of money. I would never pay that much for a NP degree - especially when there is so many affordable options around. But, that's just me. Though I am young with no kids - I do not want to deal with the burden of ...

Is finding clinical placement the top reason why you want to transfer, because many NP programs require the student to secure their own preceptor?

NP is nurse practitioner. ARNP is advanced registered nurse practitioner; they are both the same thing. As a gerontology NP, you work with the geriatric (elderly) population. Normally the program would offer Adult-gerontology NP as opposed to just ge...

I applied for their Fall 2016 semester and got it in, however, I was also accepted into my first choice which was located within my state. If you have any questions, I can probably help as best I can. Good Luck!

Angelo State University in Texas, it's a brick and mortar university with a distance learning FNP program. Also, congrats on getting into UT-Arlington! I have a friend in the UTA-FNP online program. She's doing the one class at a time, so quarter se...

I believe that's a smart route to go to avoid employment issues: FNP then a post-master's certification. I'm going for my FNP. I know exactly what I want to do, well, at least for now. Who knows what the future holds? Also, you need to decide on a u...

Anyone applying?

I'm pretty sure it's once you're accepted into the program when you have to complete clinical hours for Advanced Health Assessment. But, to be completely sure, you should contact the program directly via email. The deadline is coming up. Good Luck!

Agreed. It depends on the school itself. Some look at your overall GPA. Some look at only the last 60 hours or nursing courses and sciences. Some look at last 60 hours/nursing courses AND overall GPA.

Bump.
