First off, thank you for taking the time to respond. I think in my heart of hearts I kind of knew that it would be physician dependent and if you've proven you're trustworthy they'll give you autonomy. I'm hoping that I can convince my wife to want to stay in Texas after this assignment is up so I can earn my nursing degree and ultimately become an NP here.

Good evening everyone! I apologize if this question is worded incorrectly or if this is the wrong forum. I just recently moved to Texas and will be pursuing my nursing degree in the near future. My intent/goal is to earn my MSN (maybe DNP someday) and become a dual role FNP/AGACNP. My question is for those who currently live and practice in Texas and what it's like? I see that Texas is one of the states that still places restrictions on NP's and require physician oversight. How does it feel to practice with restrictions? Do physicians still give a decent amount of autonomy in your experience or are you micromanaged? Any help and additional insight would be greatly appreciated. Take care!

Thanks for your response! I will be retesting 3 NRP stations this month and I am planning on enrolling immediately in EC's RN program.

Thank you so much for your response! That really puts my mind at ease. I was beginning to get worried after reading a lot of negative reviews but I think they were written by people were disgruntled at their own personal experiences.

Good evening everyone. I'm looking to enroll in the Paramedic to RN bridge program but I've read mixed reviews so I wanted to go to the source and ask: if you could do it all over again, would you still enroll in the RN program at Excelsior? My hands are somewhat tied being active duty so Excelsior is my best (and essentially only) option to earn my nursing degree. Thanks in advance for your time.
