   meg2465 replied to JerseyBSN's topic in NP Students

   I'm an Excelsior grad ADN and BSN, and I was accepted into UMDNJ without an issue. I personally know another Excelsior grad who was accepted into Columbia for their NP program. Excelsior can be a polarizing topic for some people who can't conceive...

   Atropine IVP for the vasovagal syncope? Sounds like a stellar operation all around. Run, and don't look back.

   meg2465 replied to pishoncna's topic in Emergency

   OP: take it one step at a time. Go to EMT school and see if you like it. Go spend a little time working as a CNA and see if you like it. Don't worry so much about the grand plan, I guarantee you it is going to change, because you are going to cha...

   Congrats and good luck, Lunah. I just pinned on Captain in the USAFR, and I got my start as a paramedic ten years ago. I hope that when you read this, you are feeling the pride and relief of having graduated your accession school.

8. Tips for passing clinical tests?

   meg2465 replied to jerep's topic in General Students

   Does anybody else think it's a little ridiculous that they couldn't provide a hamper for this clinical exercise? If bed making and linen handling are such crucial skills, that merit such a critical evaluation, then you should have the materials and ...

   meg2465 replied to guest10's topic in General Students

   Brava, Grey Lady. Not only are you helping your students, you are helping to improve the credibility of the profession. Nobody expects a law student or a medical student to work full time nights, take care of the kids, and put dinner on the table. ...

    Thanks, Moogie. . . . I'm much more at peace with this now. It's not a race, after all!

    meg2465 posted a topic in Post Graduate

    Just finished my first semester of clinicals at an ACNP program. I got glowing evaluations from my clinical preceptor, and carried a good grade on my exams, but I fell far behind on documenting my clinical writeups and am looking at an incomplete fo...

    Have you started clinicals yet? That might be a totally different ballgame.

    meg2465 replied to dodo102's topic in New Jersey

    I understand your desire to start clinical in the fall. My guess is that FNP does the same thing with the specialty classes and only offers them once a year. It's very tempting. The problem with taking on that many credits a semester as a working ad...

    meg2465 replied to dodo102's topic in New Jersey

    Hi, I am in the ACNP program there, and I have taken all of these classes already. It depends on your strengths and the amount of time you have to study. Also, the professors are fairly uneven in terms of what they expect out of you. Mental healt...

15. Excelsior students going on to get NP

    meg2465 replied to sierra101504's topic in Post Graduate

    I'm a year into the acute care NP program at UMDNJ, got accepted with an Excelsior ADN and BSN. The Excelsior BSN teaches you how to manage your education independently, which comes in very handy for grad school. Good luck!
