Always, always, always ask about the attrition rate

Northern Kentucky University. Cheap. Accelerated option. No on campus visits. A lot of it is self-taught though. If you can't be accountable for your own education, you will do badly. I like it though. Lots of freedom and did I mention it's chea...

I worked on an acute inpatient peds psych unit for a year. And it was DANGEROUS. I'm wondering if geropsych would be safer (ie would I have a lower risk of being seriously injured?). I'm kind of scared to work acute inpatient with peds or even y...

Yeah my friend self taught himself code and now runs a whole department at a major company without a degree. If for some reason grad school doesn't work out, I think I'll get one just to be more marketable, but it's not 100% needed

Are you any good with computers? My friend works in a field where a BS in Computer Science would land you a nice job that is much lower stress and better paying

I love SNFs way better than acute care. However, I also don't want to do this job until I retire And that is the horror of 12 hour shifts

Hi all, I have an opportunity to join an ACT (assertive community treatment program for seriously mentally ill individuals). Should I take it? Pros? Cons?

Looking for recent opinions, experiences, and job prospects related to NKU's PMHNP program!

Document "MD aware" and testify against them in court ??

??? I literally mentioned my supporting reasons like 4 times and you never once replied to them. So... you're the one being professional by completely disengaging with reason from the very beginning? ???

First, if you don't want to have a "stale" conversation, no one is forcing you to read or reply. I apologizing for not spending my life on AllNurses. And some people in this country think that everything is an "opinion" when there is very clearl...

This post made me laugh in a good way ??? It's like people are so focused on bricks and mortar and not on the actual content of the schooling. You don't get a better education just by sitting in a different building besides your home. There is n...

... And this was the point of me comparing an RN becoming an NP to a grocery store cashier becoming an NP They are different roles. They do different things. Yes. I get that. But to say that they have nothing to do with each other is blatan...

But you're also completely missing my point which is using the comparison between an RN and a grocery store cashier to illustrate that RN experience does prepare you somewhat for being an NP. It's not everything, but my point is that it is not nothin...

Of course RN and NP are different roles. If they weren't different roles, the job title wouldn't be different. My point is that RN experience prepares you at least somewhat for advancing your practice. Does it teach you every little thing that a...

Whether it is required or not is sort of irrelevant. The other poster was saying that RN experience has nothing to do with being an NP.

It is not cherry picking. You literally said that being an RN has nothing to do with being an NP and that is patently false.

So if someone has no healthcare experience and only worked as a grocery store cashier, you're saying they would be equally prepared to be an NP versus someone with years of experience working as an RN in their prospective NP specialty? Nah.

I'm not really sure why you guys keep comparing NP school to MD/DO/PA/Etc. NP school builds on a preexisting foundation that those other programs don't. And accessibility issues don't only have to do with the quality of education. It also has f...

Not necessarily. We know they were 30 minutes late, but we don't know when the death happened. If the death happened 5 hours before the start of practicum then they could have notified their preceptor 3+ hours in advance.

Youre also only replying to part of my comment. I also mentioned that NP programs build on a foundation of Nursing practice while many of those other programs do not. I'd rather schools be a bit more lax (allow someone to continue working) than...

There is a huge difference between increasing the quality of the education and making sure that intelligent people make it into and out of these programs, but accessibility also has to do with the fact that many people have the requisite intelligence...

That's not going to be a good decision financially

Be honest with them and leave. Hopefully they'll learn their lesson and be more upfront with the next candidate. If that is a requirement and you're in that position, they're setting you up to quit without notice and that looks bad.

I see where you're coming from, but also I think there are several issues with it as well. If people should be expected to definitely not work full time and probably not work part time, how accessible are these programs going to be? In this day...
