3. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

   KeLsRN replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate

   I just found out I got accepted into the AC/AGNP program! But I know that the FNP has not sent out their decisions yet. Anyone else going for AC/AGNP?

4. Didn't get accepted- what to do next?

   KeLsRN posted a topic in NP

   Hi all, I just found out I didn't get accepted into the Acute Care NP program of my choice (at the university hospital where I work on a cards step-down unit). I am really bummed. I'm also trying to figure out what my next step should be. I'm fair...

5. Strategizing how to become a new-grad Oncology RN. What am I missing?

   KeLsRN replied to werkinit's topic in Oncology

   I got into oncology because they were one of the only departments hiring at my hospital. It's really challenging, so you see a lot of turnover in nurses as they burn out, particularly at an inpatient level. That said, it is also very rewarding an...

   KeLsRN replied to JennRN113's topic in General Nursing

   Oh, and we don't work with peds cases- our floor is adult only.

7. Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant Unit - What to expect?

   KeLsRN replied to JennRN113's topic in General Nursing

   I'm on a hem/onc floor as a new grad, and have floated to our adjoining BMT floor. It seems like a great place for a new nurse to start out at, because you see such a variety of conditions. Some patients are incredibly heave, some are just in for t...

8. How to get an IL RN license with a current CA RN license

   KeLsRN replied to Mirasol's topic in Illinois

   I went through this same process recently, and it ended up that California sent my verification directly to Illinois- I didn't find this out until I got my license in the mail. BUT......please know that you don't need this to get a temporary license ...

9. Georgetown Accelerated BSN

   KeLsRN replied to firstyearRN's topic in School Programs

   If you are deciding between DC and NY, try to identify where you want to work and what the tuition is like in each place (obviously both are really expensive). I know nothing about NY, but looking back at Georgetown I was happy with completing a nus...

10. Anyone accepted to Georgetown?

    KeLsRN replied to Kelzy's topic in Washington DC

    The theology classes were fine--- I liked it. I would recommend the standard one "Problem of God" and see if you can get a recommendation on the teacher. Some of the classes are taught by Jesuit priests and they're supposed to be really good. Don'...

11. Georgetown Accelerated BSN

    KeLsRN replied to firstyearRN's topic in School Programs

    I did, however, have teachers who were dedicated and very helpful, which is a definite plus. The program's administration and planning, however, need a lot of work.

12. Georgetown Accelerated BSN

    KeLsRN replied to firstyearRN's topic in School Programs

    I think the reason a lot of grads say they wouldn't do it again is because the school seems to be out for making a profit off you.....For example, they "require" you to take a 3 day NCLEX course before graduating that they hire an outside instructor ...

13. Anyone accepted to Georgetown?

    KeLsRN replied to Kelzy's topic in Washington DC

    I graduated from Georgetowns accelerated BSN program this December, and I don't recommend it. For the money, you can get an equal or better education at any other nursing school. We frequently saw clinicals from Marymount and other DC nursing schoo...

15. Hiring freezes in hospitals?

    KeLsRN replied to RB_RN_MSN's topic in Illinois

    I have been looking for a new grad job since December, and am finally starting to feel like the work is paying off...... Advocate Illinois Masonic is having 2 new grad cohorts starting this summer......July and August. Through other contacts, I have ...
