In my area, FNPs frequently work in acute care as hospitalists or if they are in a group, they help manage patients when they are in the hospital. They also utilize them in ERs. I know in general it is not considered right but it is what they do in my area.

Another consideration is that they have an acute care NP program. Most programs in my area are either adult-geri or FNP but do not specify acute care/primary practice.

Why is the SLP involving herself with the foley/PICC lines?

Our school is private but not-for-profit. I just feel frustrated with this particular class. I do know they split it up recently from what used to be the end of the program class to this capstone mess of it being extended throughout the MSN program. It's overall frustrating. It's vague instructions, difficulty contacting my teacher, the "examples" from the book do not help. Half of it is participation points with a vague rubric which leaves me thinking "What the ****?" I have a classmate in the same section too and we frequently have to ask each other what the heck is going on. I'll see if I can repeat the semester probably. I am passing pharm and I passed patho so it's only this capstone class.

I know I will have to start from basically zero but I am sort of frustrated at my current NP program. The capstone class really frustrated me. I felt like it was disorganized and now I am probably going to fail it. The class itself was originally a 3 credit hour class but they broke it up for 1 credit hour over three semesters. I am doing well in all other classes I have taken. Before this class, I had a 3.87. I don't really want to take the class over. I don't really want to face the possibility of taking 2 other disorganized messes like it. Walden does have a partnership with my employer for a discount. My classmates in the Walden FNP program seem to like it with the exception of locating clinicals which my school doesn't assist with clinical placement either. Amusingly, I will finish the programs in a similar time frame.
