1. Home Health to NP?

   UMCSN4 replied to UMCSN4's topic in Home Health

   I will be working as an RN for about 3 years while going to school part time. I don't think I was clear on that in my original post! Will working in home health as an RN help me develop my analysis, critical thinking, and diagnostic skills more than ...

2. Home Health to NP?

   UMCSN4 posted a topic in Home Health

   I am in nursing school now and plan to enter NP school upon graduation. I am a single mom and was torn about where to work because the 12 hour shifts are not conducive to my situation. Someone mentioned Home Health, and said they knew someone who had...

   UMCSN4 replied to UMCSN4's topic in NP

   I think you are both right. I was overlooking that option. The more I think about it, even if I could work in a clinic with ACNP, I don't really want to go that route for school. I am looking into the adult route now. Thanks to you both for your advi...

4. To be a NP at the VA...

   UMCSN4 posted a topic in NP

   Should I do FNP or ACNP? I have applied to an Acute Care Adult/Geri NP program, but now have doubts if this is the right tract for me. I really don't want to do the higher level procedures, but I do prefer adults. My career plan is to work for the VA...

5. Being chosen as an Alternate. Is it as awful as I feel?

   UMCSN4 replied to OrthoFNP's topic in Mississippi

   I am not sure how many alternates we had. While crying over my alternate letter, I called the school to find out my rank on the list and how many, etc. No one could answer that. There will likely be someone who decides not to attend. Unfortunately, i...

6. UMC Accelerated BSN

   UMCSN4 replied to bhope2006's topic in Mississippi

   The accelerated class meets m-f on various days. Once you get to clinicals, it all depends on the preceptor that you are randomly assigned to. It could be nights, days, weekends, etc. If you are asking because you are planning to work, I will tell yo...

7. Being chosen as an Alternate. Is it as awful as I feel?

   UMCSN4 replied to OrthoFNP's topic in Mississippi

   I know how you feel. I cried too! But, I made it in and so did 3 more alternates. I wish I could tell you the reasoning and how they choose the alternates, but I can't. I know that I was quite a pest and really let them know how interested I was in t...

8. Anyone applied to University of Mississippi Medical Center's Accelerated Program?

   UMCSN4 replied to OrthoFNP's topic in Mississippi

   That doesn't sound right. I was an alternate so I can't say for sure, but I think you will get a letter in March. It could be earlier for your class, because ours complained about missing out on some financial aid due to we not being notified in time...

9. Anyone applied to University of Mississippi Medical Center's Accelerated Program?

   UMCSN4 replied to OrthoFNP's topic in Mississippi

   You will know you are admitted before the interview. It is just a formality...unless you make the WORST impression ever, you are in. Good luck!

10. UMC Accelerated BSN

    UMCSN4 replied to bhope2006's topic in Mississippi

    I am in the Accel BSN at UMC. It is hardcore and fast paced, but I will be a nurse in just a few more months! There is a lot of self study and if you are not prepared to do that, this is NOT the program for you. There are very few lectures for classe...
