1. Which RN positions boost resume for MSN in Leadership?

   Misskala replied to brittanybordoli's topic in Career Support

   I agree with HouTx. The work you history you posted shows 1-year stints on several different units. I would suggest staying on a unit for longer, like 2-4 years, and develop from there a track history of leadership-type activities and involvements. ...

   I received an email stating that as long as materials are uploaded by 5/15 the application would be considered. OK, I won't hijack discussion any longer. :-) Good luck to those who are starting, and I am eager to hear more deets about the program.

   Misskala replied to doublefault's topic in NP Students

   trimom3- thank you for the feedback. Wow, sounds really aggravating. First, I didn't know schools were requiring the use of this; I thought nursingCAS was more like a clearinghouse search engine. Secondly, makes me nervous for the online program itse...

   Misskala replied to russianbear's topic in NP Students

   Thank you for mentioning this website. I have to look for an online program bc my local doesn't offer the track I want (adult-gero primary). I'm curious how this website works; it's mind boggling how many programs there are!

   Misskala replied to cab350's topic in Online Learning

   HI! I ended up going with WGU, but considered Univ. of Louisiana too---I really liked that school a lot! Tech friendly! Like Medic2RN, I had a previous BA so at WGU I just needed BSN courses. Did it in 6 months, including practicum, and cost $3200...

15. RN:Pt Ratios

    Misskala replied to Misskala's topic in Rehabilitation

    I found it really depended on acuity. My pt load fluctuated from 8-12. Seems low. It got difficult when I had pts on TPN, IV ABX, and multiple dressing changes. I also did most of my own vitals so if I had any Q4 (which in retrospect makes me wonder...
