    What program did you get accepted into? My GPA is low as well.
  2. Is the CVICU for open hearts the most acute ICU?

    I'll touch upon the "limited experience with common medical emergencies" statement. Based on the experience in my hospital I would have to disagree with that thought. I've been in the CVICU for 18 months, and rarely does a patient come in without sec...
  3. PVC and PAC in ECG rhythm

    One thing I would recommend is changing that last part of your post. Ask questions, ask questions, ask questions. Especially as a new nurse. I've been in the ICU for 18 months now, and I still ask my charge nurse or the more experienced nurses questi...
  4. R.N first or straight to N.P?

    Being an RN before an NP can be very beneficial by helping you build a foundation of knowledge and skills as a nurse that you won't see as an NP. So much of what you'll use as an NP, in my opinion, could be improved by having real life experience as ...
  5. Would Nurse Practitioner be a better fit for me than RN?

    Being a NP would still involve a good amount of hands on involvement with patients. The wonderful thing about nursing is there are so many different avenues to explore as a nurse. Not everything has to be at the bedside treating sick patients in the ...

    Has anyone else applied for acute care? I haven't seen any MSN acute care ppl yet.

    Ugh, nothing again. Losing ability to wait. Must drive to AL and intercept USA's outgoing mail.

    Greeeaaaat. So we get to wait longer.

    Yes, that was me. End of May is when letters are going out for MSN, or so I was told. And my fingers will be crossed until then!

    They give you a JAG number? Oh I should be a shoe-in. Those are my initials.
  12. University of South Alabama, Fall 2014

    I talked to someone last week who said the MSN letters would be sent out at the end of May, so those of us who applied can expect decisions by first part of June.

    Geez. Starting to wonder what an online program would be like at a school that doesn't respond to emails.
  14. University of South Alabama, Fall 2014

    Well no response yet to my email waiting for an update. Anyone apply for the MSN Adult-Gero NP program and get an email with info after applying?

    I went ahead and emailed them this afternoon. Hoping they send something back this week.
