2. Anyone know when USA will send out notices for Spring??

   ladydi94956 replied to marilynmom's topic in Post Graduate

   I think it probably depends which program you have applied to. Peds notoriously is not as impacted as FNP and ANP. This is my second application with them. I also applied for Fall but they lost a couple of my transcripts. They tried to pull that agai...

3. Anyone know when USA will send out notices for Spring??

   ladydi94956 replied to marilynmom's topic in Post Graduate

   Last week, I spoke to someone on the phone regarding my application for spring (ANP program). She said to give them 7 weeks to make a decision. That would put it well into November!

4. USA BSN/DNP program

   ladydi94956 replied to kenyohunt1's topic in Post Graduate

   Good Luck!! Many threads depict the USA program as a nightmare especially the FNP! Teachers dont teach and just dump material on you. I applied for the MSN ANP-GNP program and am awaiting to hear if I get in for January 2011. Please let me know what ...

   ladydi94956 replied to ougreene's topic in Rehabilitation

   I am looking at getting a job in acute rehab and the ratio is 4:1 but this is in a hospital and its California. We have set ratios and because we are a specialty, this is why it is 4:1.

   ladydi94956 replied to ladydi94956's topic in MICU

   I was looking at all my old posts..I had no idea that I had such a great response here. Thank You everyone for some great advice. And No. I left ICU and went to home care shortly after that incident. I have no regrets because I really did feel that i...

    ladydi94956 replied to boochica's topic in California

    Walnut Creek Campus is way overstaffed!! Wayyyy too many RNs working who have been getting cancelled on a regualr basis. They really shouldnt be hiring anymore new grads for awhile! Sorry but thats my opinion!

11. Offered clinical coordinator of Acute Rehab unit

    ladydi94956 posted a topic in Rehabilitation

    What do you think? I was offered a clinical coordinator position (charge nurse) of an acute rehab unit. The only problem is that I have no rehab experience. I was previously in charge of a short stay unit that closed. Is rehab pretty easy to pick up?...

12. online nurse practitioner

    ladydi94956 replied to almostarn's topic in NP

    I thought it was a requirement that an NP be an RN prior to applying. This is what makes NPs stand out above PAs, more education and experience. My goal is to attend UCSF but if I dont get in, I would like to go to an online program that is affordabl...

15. Calling all HH Nurses, roll call

    ladydi94956 replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

    The pay is almost always higher in the hospital compared to home health.. Also, you are usually paid by the client. I know that I am anyways. The hours are usually longer than the 8 hours that you are being paid for. I am paid for an 8 hour day by s...
