1. Samford FNP Fall-2016

   BubbaBearRN replied to TruthRN2011's topic in NP Students

   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 because then the student has to apply for licensur...

2. University of Cincinnati online RN to BSN

   BubbaBearRN replied to Denebar's topic in Online 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 the core nursing courses. Currently, the online ...

3. Samford FNP Fall-2016

   BubbaBearRN replied to TruthRN2011's topic in NP Students

   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 fall FNP program. Have you tried emailing the progr...

4. Samford FNP Fall-2016

   BubbaBearRN replied to TruthRN2011's topic in NP Students

   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 happens, I think most universities will continue to off...

5. Samford FNP Fall-2016

   BubbaBearRN replied to TruthRN2011's topic in NP Students

   You are right: this is the last semester that they will be offering a five semester schema for the FNP. Starting January 2017, they will offer the BSN-DNP (no MSN awarded) in 9 semesters. They will continue offering the MSN/FNP each fall, but it wi...

6. Samford FNP Fall-2016

   BubbaBearRN replied to TruthRN2011's topic in NP Students

   Thanks for the info, TruthRN. In the admission decision email that I received, the reason that was given was, "there were many more qualified candidates than we are able to admit." Like you said, I was probably not offered a spot because my BSN de...

   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 time. Good luck in Samford's FNP program! :)

8. Samford FNP Fall-2016

   BubbaBearRN replied to TruthRN2011's topic in NP Students

   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 various settings. I honestly didn't think I'd even...

9. Samford FNP students

   BubbaBearRN replied to BedsideBenevolence's topic in NP Students

   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 when decisions will be sent out?
