  1. Columbus State University- Spring 2020

    Joy16Sarah replied to Mami.RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry, I didn't save that information and they might have changed books since I took the classes anyway. I did the 3 yr part time program. If you want to start on something, I would memorize 2 charts...

  2. NP Career advice after staying home with kids

    Joy16Sarah replied to RN2030's topic in Advanced Practice

    You don't ever get those years back with your kids, so I'm sure in the long run you wont regret it. Be prepared to have to work as an RN to get some work experience on your resume. I would advise...

  3. Where are NPs most/least in demand?

    Joy16Sarah replied to Aliens05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm from Michigan, Hillsdale County-quite rural, and would agree that rural areas have more job availabilities. I was fortunate to find a part time job as a new grad, but even around here most jobs...

  4. Columbus State University- Spring 2020

    Joy16Sarah replied to Mami.RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not exactly sure what my GPA was before WGU, I would guess a little over 3.5, maybe a 3.6. I'm curious how CSU did factor in my WGU GPA and if it lowered my overall GPA. There was another WGU...

  5. Columbus State University- Spring 2020

    Joy16Sarah replied to Mami.RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I got my BSN from WGU and graduated in May 2019 from CSU's FNP program. I've heard their program has been getting more competitive so maybe they no longer accept WGU grads--but just guessing on that....

  6. NPs doing MD reg visits in LTC

    Joy16Sarah replied to FNPinLTC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am being hired by a nursing home because the MD is having trouble keeping up with charting. I believe this all gets billed under the MD as he will oversee and approve all my visits. Is it common...

  7. Help with FNP Boards

    Joy16Sarah replied to Potterja's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    APEA course was most helpful of the three- other 2 Fitzgerald and Barkley. APEA Hollier compared to other 2 was more energetic and entertaining keeping your attention. She also broke things down to a...

  8. Help with FNP Boards

    Joy16Sarah replied to Potterja's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A lot of it is just what questions you happen to get. I was given Barkly CDs and had fitzgerald audio. My school required Hollier. Took my boards today, passed, and recognized many of the questions...

  9. How NP programs view WGU?

    Joy16Sarah replied to Birdsofprey's topic in Western Governors University

    You could probably get into a noncompetitive type of NP schools that accept tons of student, but charge private school rates. I graduated with my BSN from WGU and got in at Columbus state university...

  10. Georgia SWU-FNP Online

    Joy16Sarah replied to smith-alexanderBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Its probably about average work-load wise compared to other FNP schools. I did the part time program since I have young children which makes a big difference compared to full time program. I'm...

  11. Georgia SWU-FNP Online

    Joy16Sarah replied to smith-alexanderBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They help a little if you live in Georgia, at least their sister school, CSU-that I attend, does. I live out of state, but ended up being able to find all my preceptors

  12. Georgia SWU-FNP Online

    Joy16Sarah replied to smith-alexanderBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am attending Columbus state university. They combine their program with the GSW students and follow the GSW class dates instead of CSU's. I live in Michigan and pay instate tuition rates which is...

  13. Columbus State University FNP Spring 2019

    Joy16Sarah replied to zachem24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It actually might be ISBN

  14. Columbus State University FNP Spring 2019

    Joy16Sarah replied to zachem24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ISBN

  15. Columbus State University FNP Spring 2019

    Joy16Sarah replied to zachem24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    See my above response I think you may be looking at the wrong page of the booklist. I think it may be

  16. Columbus State University FNP Spring 2019

    Joy16Sarah replied to zachem24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Actually look at the tabs on the bottom of the booklist link. That book is listed under "Core" but Woo & Robinson are listed under "FNP". When I took the class we used Woo & Robinson. Might...

  17. Columbus State University FNP Spring 2019

    Joy16Sarah replied to zachem24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a part time, current student. Try this link Resources for the semester layout and booklist although perhaps they are changing it up since applications are so high. The summer isn't any different...

  18. Columbus State University FNP Spring 2019

    Joy16Sarah replied to zachem24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes all three cost money. I cant remember how much but something like between 100-200 for castlebranch and typhon each--they are a one time fee and you will use both the entire program. The liability...

  19. Columbus State University FNP Spring 2019

    Joy16Sarah replied to zachem24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That makes sense that it is part time if you start in the spring 2019 as you may be just lightening your load of non clinical classes but still graduate with the same class that starts full time in...

  20. Columbus State University FNP Spring 2019

    Joy16Sarah replied to zachem24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That happened to me when I was accepted a couple years ago. I wanted part time but was automatically assigned full time. I do not remember it being asked on the application and it was a hassle to get...

  21. Columbus State University FNP Spring 2019

    Joy16Sarah replied to zachem24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am graduating in May in from their PT program that started in the Fall. Unless they are changing it up this year, clinicals begin in the fall semester. Since I was PT, I did not start clinicals...

  22. Has anyone overmedicated a pt?

    Joy16Sarah replied to jl18's topic in General Nursing

    This is probably a dumb question. I work on a med/surg oncology unit and sometimes float to ortho, but I've never heard of a policy of vitals every time before pain meds. We do frequent vitals after...

  23. Columbus State University Fall 2016 Applicants for online Family Nurse Practitioner

    Joy16Sarah replied to Missy BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They do lead you to believe that as there were several frustrated students in my patho class over that. They recommend taking the test on your lunch

  24. Columbus State University Fall 2016 Applicants for online Family Nurse Practitioner

    Joy16Sarah replied to Missy BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    but..you are prob taking pharm first because of your start date instead of patho first? I am taking pharm this semester so cant give you any info on test date

  25. Columbus State University Fall 2016 Applicants for online Family Nurse Practitioner

    Joy16Sarah replied to Missy BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can only speak for Patho as I just ended my first semester (my Health Policy class didnt have any tests). The quizzes are open to take for two days and anytime during those 2 days (Sat, Sun). The...
