Thanks for the replies. I was looking into Spring Arbor and Simmons, but I don't know if I want to pay over 60,000 for Simmons. Colombus State University sounds like I good school, I will look into it. Thanks (:

Hey thanks for replying, Spring Arbor was one the schools I was looking into. The only thing I don't like is how long it may take to complete, would I be able to complete the FNP program in about 2-2 1/2 years? Is there a lot of papers/discussions?

Hello everyone, I have been looking at online FNP programs for a while now and I would like to get more insight into these programs. So for those who are completed or are currently doing their FNP online I would like to know 1) what school did or are you currently attending and 2) would you recommend the program and why? Thanks (:

Hello I just have a few questions regarding home health/orientation. 1. As an home health RN/LVN how much orientation did you receive when you first started? 2. Did you feel competent with that much orientation? If not how long would you have wanted your orientation to be? 2. As an RN how many patients would/do you see a day? Were they only start of care/discharges/readmit patients? Or would you also do routine visits? 3. As an LVN how many patients would/do you see a day? Thanks for your help (:

Hello! I have a patient who may be admitted to our home health with orders for a dobutamine drip at home. This is the first time our agency has had a patient being admitted with a dobutamine drip and it has been a while any of our patients have been on antibiotic treatment as well. So I have a few questions. Would the hospital make sure the patient has the iv pump/meds for the patient to have at home? I know in the hospital patients are on heart monitors, blood pressures are monitored every few hours. Is there any specifics as to how we are to manage this patient at home? Is there any questions I should ask case management before admitting this patient to our home health? Any insight to anyone who has had patients on dobutamine drips would be helpful. Thanks (:
