2. CNS in Home Health Program

   DrAres replied to RN4KU's topic in CNS

   CNS programs are organized by patient populations (e.g. adult-gerontology, pediatric) and there are no specific specializations for home health. As someone who owns a home care agency, why do you think CNS education would be helpful for the agency? ...

3. What sort of job/job title do you hold?

   DrAres replied to NICU<3RN's topic in CNS

   In California to receive state funding via California Children's Services, the NICU and PICUs must have a CNS. Fortunately, CNSs in CA have been active in influencing these regulations. See the latest effort on page 99 of Neonatology Today when the...

4. NFLP

   DrAres replied to MI-RN-DNPstudent's topic in Educators

   Yes I have had my PhD loans forgiven via the NFLP. I had a faculty job before taking the loans, so my situation is different than yours. Nurse Educators are in demand but your background and education has to fit with the program needs and type ...

5. Not qualified for University Program

   DrAres replied to jax18_mco's topic in Educators

   It takes a lot of courses to elevate the GPA. Most programs that I know of look at the degree GPA and do not consider post-bachelor's courses into that GPA. @jax18_mco Have you looked at the US News & World Report rankings for Best Online ...

6. PMHCNS

   DrAres replied to matthewandrew's topic in CNS

   I'm not sure about the specific history of why the Psych/Mental Health APRNs decided to focus on NP over CNS. There seemed to be a national decision, though controversial, that was made within the specialty. I hope others in this specialty can weig...

7. CA BON- I need some help

   DrAres replied to kevinm23's topic in NP

   Study.com is the provider of the education but the American Council on Education (ACE) is the body that grants the college credit and provides the transcript (a badge now). I don't know if the BRN will accept the ACE credit or not. That is somethin...

8. CSUDH vs OU RN-BSN

   DrAres replied to colochita27's topic in Online Learning

   Notification of the multiple orientation sessions occurs after the ADN student applies. It's not an information session, rather an orientation to the program, online library, online classroom, etc. We've received 400+ applications this year so it's...

9. CSUCI vs. CSDH ADN/RN to BSN Program

   DrAres replied to Guest123456789's topic in School Programs

   @Guest123456789 @Jackeeee I'm affiliated with CSUDH and can provide some perspective. I'm sorry there has been trouble communicating with the department - the pandemic has created some issues with phones. The nursing webpage has a link for Facult...

10. CSUDH vs OU RN-BSN

    DrAres replied to colochita27's topic in Online Learning

    @pandaeyes have you attended the orientation session? You questions could be answered there. The Health Assessment Lab is typically done on campus, but due to the pandemic we have been using Zoom. In the Lab student typically practice exam skills ...

11. CA BON- I need some help

    DrAres replied to kevinm23's topic in NP

    By the time you sort this out, quite a bit of time may elapse. You may want to consider taking the Sociology 101 course at Study.com (for college credit). https://study.com/academy/course/sociology-course.html This is not a university, but a educati...

12. CNS Programs

    DrAres replied to DomiMichel24's topic in CNS

    I would say the main difference is that the work of the Ped CNS involves care for the patient (direct but mostly indirect via consultation) as a clinical expert, support for nurses, and engagement with the organization. In contrast the Ped Acute Car...

13. CNS Certification

    DrAres replied to archer01's topic in CNS

    Most discussions of exam prep for CNS grads have focused on the Mometrix products. The grads from our program that take the AACN typically are using CCRN prep books (to get the feel for the style of questions), Synergy Model, and Mometrix. I suppo...

14. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2014

    DrAres replied to ThisNurseIs's topic in NP Students

    Anay3l1- As a newly admitted student you won't be in clinical for another year, so likely the pressing problems we are experiencing now won't exist. The challenges related to clinical placement are that sites have closed to students. It doesn't mat...

15. RN-BSN: CSU East Bay vs CSU Dominguez Hills

    DrAres replied to YassQueen's topic in ADN/BSN

    I'm a graduate of CSUDH but also faculty. I'm not sure when NurseGina17 attended, but there is no math test. There is a graduation writing requirement, which all of the CSU schools have, but it can be done via essay with a proctor. Yes there is a ...
