   Thank you! This info is very encouraging and makes me glad I chose UC!

2. Choosing a FNP Program: USA vs. UC??

   mmgRN replied to mmgRN's topic in NP Students

   SopranoKris I did that between my ADN & BSN.... Then a year or two turned into 6 years! I have some fertility issues, so to put aside my academic goals for a "maybe" baby is probably not the most logical choice. And my husband is a pretty awesom...

   I've gotten some info and feel mostly assured about my decision. How long does the program take going PT?

6. Choosing a FNP Program: USA vs. UC??

   mmgRN replied to mmgRN's topic in NP Students

   Good point. I did not think to ask either person from the schools which exam pass rates they were quoting. I assumed it was the combined score for both, since you are allowed to take both. The pass rate for USA was given to me in writing via emai...

   mmgRN replied to mmgRN's topic in Online Learning

   Oh wow! I wondered if I was the only one! It was kind of crazy, all in total I had to resubmit everything three times. Not the best first impression. I've also heard some horror stories on here of USA changing the graduation requirements majorly (add...

8. Dedicated Trauma Nurses in the ED

   mmgRN replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

   Hmmmm.... from reading other threads, I'm thinking you are more talking about dedicated trauma staff? From this perspective, in my experience (level II trauma center)-- dedicated staff is optimal but not generally feasible. EVERYONE in the ED should ...

9. Dedicated Trauma Nurses in the ED

   mmgRN replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

   In a perfect world, in my experience, this worked best in a trauma ED. However, we were rarely staffed to allow for this. Though, when the stars aligned and we were, it ran SOOO much more smoothly. When a trauma came, the rest of the patients and ED ...

    mmgRN replied to roser13's topic in Medications

    I've asked for epi junior in a generic form, but have yet to find one available. I will research this more for sure!

11. EpiPens....who knew?

    mmgRN replied to roser13's topic in Medications

    Wow-OUCH! I paid $450 for a set of two, (insurance covered $0, found a coupon for $100 off). I researched it to see how they were still trademarking adrenaline and charging a fortune, as it is not new, they trademark the delivery device. Basically,...

    I am living in the south east US. I am starting FNP school this fall. After many years in the ED, I am super passionate about preventive care and feel many primary care providers are not focused on this aspect of care. My dream is to be part of a mov...

14. Advice from University of South AL FNP Grads

    mmgRN posted a topic in NP Students

    Hello NP's, I am looking for advice from USA FNP graduates. I am considering the program and have been discouraged by former students reports about the program. The pass rate for exams was most recently 97% so that is awesome, but I haven't spoke wit...

    Bummer! I am accepted to the online Fall 2016. I had my mind made up that it was the program for me, but now I'm just getting cold feet. Looking for assurance that I'm on the right path. I've taken a part-time job to pursue my MSN full time and will ...
