   OhRN2 replied to Ashley_SF's topic in Urology

   Hi there. I am interested in pediatric dialysis and was just wondering if you have any insight? I’ve done adult outpatient dialysis previously, but would love a brief rundown or “day in the life” if you’re willing and able. Thanks!

   Hi Bananaducks! The absolute best advice I can give to ANYONE is to study smart!!! You will get a list of required readings prior to orientation (hopefully you've gotten this) and this is what you should start reading (especially for your NUR 501 c...

   You start as a floor nurse and you are called an advanced generalist. Because of your advanced degree history has shown you can climb the clinical ladder more quickly if interested. Or, you get several of your classes waived if you go back for a DNP ...

   And for scholarships, if you are a minority or under-represented population in nursing (first generation college student, male, LGBT, etc.) then you should definitely apply for the Robert Wood Johnson Scholarship. You can find info on it on the coll...

   To Nursetobe1991 - a 3.0 should be fine. If they aren't comfortable with it, they will ask you to take the GRE. If you get called for an interview, ask if they see your GPA interfering with your acceptance. They will be very honest. But, I believ...

   Around 45-50 start in May... we had I think 46 start and by mid-second semester we are down to the low 30's (long story there). Your cohorts are a good size.... you'll be divided into two sections so we had about 23 in each class at the beginning an...

    If you've already taken Pathophysiology you will be at a clear advantage. It's not going to be as scary as it sounds - I promise. Now, pharmacology on the other hand.... we just got our syllabus for that class and it seems a little intimidating :) ...

    Hey all. I am in the program as well - I started in May. The interview is a piece of cake... just why nursing, why this school, etc. They try to keep it very low key and they absolutely do not want you to be uncomfortable. If you're coming to cam...

    To kespelage14: I work about 12 hours a week right now and I had no problems doing so. I worked through my entire undergrad so I know that for me, if I wasn't working - I wouldn't know what to do with myself. Several people did either cut back sign...
