1. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

   sillymu replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

   The only thing I wish I had known before was just how fast 5 weeks goes by. It's nice, but draining sometimes. I finished in 10 months. I worked 3 12s through the first 5 months and then went outpatient to 5 8s while also still working PRN in the hos...

3. DUKE MSN FALL 2022

   sillymu replied to meowmeowRN's topic in School Programs

   Accepted to WHNP! Have to decide between here and Emory

4. Can WHNPs work in the hospital?

   sillymu replied to Hopefulstudent333's topic in Advanced

   Yes. Duke has clinical rotations in mother baby for postpartum care and with general gyn patients. Not sure if the schedule is 12s, 10s, or 8s, but it is possible. There are also rotations that you could possibly do with the VA hospital.

5. Emory MN Fall 2022

   sillymu replied to user21's topic in School Programs

   I was accepted to WHNP and I applied to the last decision group. I was never on the waitlist so I'm not sure there's anything to do other than wait and see if spots become available as people decide what schools they want to go to.

6. Emory MN Fall 2022

   sillymu replied to user21's topic in School Programs

   I got accepted for fall. Does anyone know what the tuition deposit amount is? I'm trying to decide between here and Duke.

7. Work while in grad school

   sillymu posted a topic in Career Support

   I am looking at starting grad school in about a year or two and I want to prepare myself. For those of you who have gone to NP school what did you do for work? I currently work outpatient and would hate to go back to 12s even if they’re PRN. I don’t ...

8. From Bedside to Clinic

   sillymu replied to sillymu's topic in Ob/Gyn

   @travelnurse79 unfortunately I haven’t gotten any recommendations, but my boss did send me a training course to help me brush up on baby’s heart rhythm for non stress tests. I still have my textbook from maternity so I’ve been skimming through it to ...

9. From Bedside to Clinic

   sillymu posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm making the switch from bedside to clinic in about a month. I currently work gyn/onc and I am going to an ob/gyn clinic. I know it'll be a learning curve, but I want to brush up on my maternity knowledge. Are there any resources that you all recom...

    @melodywei there is a facebook group that you can join. People are more active on there. I just started the program. So far so good.

11. Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    sillymu replied to sillymu's topic in General Nursing

    @Jory what is your opinion of the patch?

12. Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    sillymu replied to sillymu's topic in General Nursing

    @LostMyPen,RN how long did you have irregular periods before you started only having one. Is the one around the same time every year? Is it predictable when you’ll bleed?

13. Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    sillymu replied to sillymu's topic in General Nursing

    @cayenne06 thanks for that info. I’ll present that to her and see what she says. Menstrual suppression is what I prefer. I want the patch because I think that would be easiest. As @CalicoKitty mentioned digging around for a ring may be a little awkwa...

14. Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    sillymu replied to sillymu's topic in General Nursing

    @K+MgSO4 I currently take it at 8pm, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to continue taking it around that time because I’ll be working 7a-7p for 6 weeks and then 7p-7a for the next 6 weeks and it will alternate like that for the entire first year

15. Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    sillymu posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently on the pill and start my new grad residency in about a month. I've been on the pill for almost 6 years and I love it, but I want to switch to something that I don't have to take every day because I will be doing day/night rotations ever...
