   How do you ask doctors for a letter of recommendation?

   dandk1997RN replied to hamuway's topic in NP Students

   I don't know about the asking a doc thing as I didn't have to do that, but I sent email thank yous to all three people who wrote my recommendations. One had a particularly difficult time because the computers at my hospital don't have upgraded softw...

   dandk1997RN replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors

   To answer my own question...finished up my MSN-Ed at WGU earlier this year and just found out I was accepted into the Samford University DNP program. So it does really happen.

   Western Governors University (WGU) Readiness Assessment

   dandk1997RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Western Governors

   Just verifying that indeed, the assessment is no longer required of licensed RNs. I got an email saying I needed to do it, but having seen this thread, questioned my enrollment counselor about it. He said they are in the process of changing the ver...

   Panic attacks triggered by rapid position change

   Disappointed to see nobody has any thoughts on this. Guess it will remain a mystery to me.

   Panic attacks triggered by rapid position change

   dandk1997RN posted a topic in Psychiatric

   So I'm going out on a limb here since I think this is maybe an oddity, but I'm curious if any of you psych nurses have any input on a situation I encountered last night. I'm a cardiac nurse, so this isn't my forte- my only experience with panic atta...

   Torn- WGU BSN-MSN then apply to Frontier PMC-DNP or ADN Bridge to MSN-DN at Frontier?

   dandk1997RN replied to dandk1997RN's topic in NP Students

    How will a "General Discharge" from the military affect my chances of employment?

    dandk1997RN replied to NationalGuardNurse's topic in Government

    I as army. General discharge because of an injury- I chose not to fight it because I was young and stupid. Nobody cares at all about my discharge. I have never had employment difficulties because of it. Best of luck to you.

    12 hour overnight nurses, please tell me about your sleep schedule.

    dandk1997RN replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Stress 101

    Coming back a year later to say I am loving nights. There are certainly times when I am tired, but I was so miserable before I was always tired. I now often have 5 or 6 days off in a row. I easily transition back and forth between day shift no-work...

    Desperate, Anxiety: get into Nursing THIS year

    dandk1997RN replied to joe84u2004's topic in ADN/BSN

    I don't really understand this reply. I believe we are all trying to be constructive. Unfortunately, the truth of nursing school can crush the excitement of a goal and hopes. I remember the excitement I had when I decided on that second career pat...

    dandk1997RN replied to joe84u2004's topic in ADN/BSN

    Sorry- I didn't mean why I want weights is not about education- I meant it is almost never about medication, as in dosages. That typo was too confusing not to be addressed. Good luck with your goals.

    Please forgive typos- I'm on my phone right now. I want to preface this by saying I should probably just keep my opinions to myself, but I'm going to go against my better judgement and put this out there. You may have noticed most of us aren't addre...
