1. South University FNP MSN program???

   JennabeanRN replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in NP Students

   Thank you! I decided to post because I too was skeptical before applying to SU because of bad reviews. But you have to realize that many people only post reviews when they are upset. I am the type of student that learn well with little direction. ...

3. South University FNP MSN program???

   I graduated from SU-Online in March and passed my boards on the first attempt a month later. I was prepared and had no problem with the program. I had several mid-term and final exams during my practicum courses. The course-work could be challengi...

4. Irritated that everyone feels the need to mention they want to help people

   JennabeanRN replied to Trenbolone Acetate's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Helping people was truly the reason I chose nursing. And it's the reason I chose to continue on with nurse practitioner. The money is nice too!! But besides the money, I volunteered before I even became a nurse. There are some people who only do it ...

5. New Grad. Too early to start for my Masters in NP?

   JennabeanRN replied to deseretm's topic in Career Support

   When I was a new grad I wanted to go back immediately. I ended up waiting 3 years and I'm glad I did. There was no way I could have studied. I was too busy learning to be a floor nurse! Nursing was hardly like I learned in school. (theory-practice g...

6. Mandatory flu vaccines for staff

   JennabeanRN replied to mpccrn's topic in COVID

   My job has been trying to mandate this for some time now. All of the hospitals surrounding us are doing it. Next year is supposed to be the final year. I got the vaccine this year because I felt pressured. I figured I would go ahead and take it since...

9. Pregnant and 8 hour night shift.

   JennabeanRN replied to mamaxmaria's topic in General Nursing

   I had the same is, as I had no family where I lived. Since I worked 12 hrs, my bf worked the days I was off and vise versa. Later, I applied for day shift when it was available and that helped even more. We were working opposite shifts.

    JennabeanRN replied to katduqrn's topic in NP Students

13. South University

    JennabeanRN replied to JennabeanRN's topic in NP Students

    Thank you tutucathy for responding! Did you have to find your clinicals before you were accepted? This is driving me nuts. I personally think it's a weeding out process but I want in!

14. Alcohol swabs and iv access ports

    JennabeanRN replied to luellamae's topic in Medications

    I always "scrub to hub". I always figure, this is a direct entry line to the blood stream so it should at least be clean.

15. Resume Question

    JennabeanRN replied to MJeanRN's topic in Job Hunt

    I think you should keep the clinical portion in since you only have 2 months experience. That will make it look like you have a little more experience IMO. Could you hold out for a least 6 months? I've always heard HR looks for at least 6-12 month...
