   BubbaBearRN replied to TruthRN2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I've heard of universities actually suggesting this to their accepted NP students. I know University of Cincinnati suggests looking in neighboring states for clinical sites. This would be difficult...

2. University of Cincinnati online RN to BSN

   BubbaBearRN replied to Denebar's topic in Online Distance Learning

   I know this is an old thread, but I am a UC student (RN-BSN Distance Learning) and it has been great so far! I graduate in August with my BSN. Statistics is a prereq, but can be completed along with...

3. Samford FNP Fall-2016

   BubbaBearRN replied to TruthRN2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I was waitlisted and have not heard anything more. The program advisor suggested I apply to the BSN-DNP program starting in January since there's no guarantee that I will be offered a spot for the...

4. Samford FNP Fall-2016

   BubbaBearRN replied to TruthRN2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I think the DNP is more of a recommendation at this point. To my knowledge, there are currently no state boards that require a nurse practitioner to have a DNP in order to practice. Until that...

   Awesome news! When did you find out? Was it by email or phone call? I see you're from Florida. Me too! I moved to Georgia 2.5 years ago, but I'm from Tampa and also lived in Miami for a short...

   BubbaBearRN replied to TruthRN2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Congratulations to those who have been accepted to Samford to start in the fall! I applied and received notice a few weeks ago that I was waitlisted. I've had my ASN since 2005 and have experience in...

9. Samford FNP students

   BubbaBearRN replied to BedsideBenevolence's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I applied to Samford's fall FNP program too. My BSN is still in progress and I won't have my degree until August, so I'm not overly confident that I'll get accepted this time around. Do you know...
