   myblkcat replied to Ms. Nikki's topic in Post Graduate

   I agree. But compared to GRE prep, test costs, & letters of rec I figured it's painful but worth the exchange. Good luck!

   myblkcat replied to ncole2008's topic in Post Graduate

   @Equus419... Lisa, I am curious to know more about some of the items you mentioned such as additional costs, final project, what to expect of the 1st year classes, which professors to try to take (or not), how easy or hard is it to get classes during...

5. should i have given it to patient as scheduled?

   myblkcat replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

   I would definitely review the hospital policy. I also wouldn't hesitate to contact pharmacy about giving it as well. It may be that you give the dose late (at 7pm) then the following doses be rescheduled. Unfortunately late meds do happen.

6. How'd you know when you were ready to get your MSN?

   myblkcat replied to cbcle's topic in Post Graduate

   You're not ready. "Life" isn't really getting in the way. When you are ready you will fight through all that other "stuff". When you are ready your true motivation will come out to do it. Going back to school is more than just the intellectual knowle...

8. BSN to DNP Programs - Anyone done this? Is there a Psych Track?

   myblkcat replied to CatherineG87's topic in Post Graduate

   University of South Alabama has a Psychiatric (Family) BSN-DNP program. It's a three to four year program depending on what you choose. If you are graduating in April you have plenty of time to apply for Fall 2012. The application isn't too difficult...

    I was so excited when I saw "Spring 2012 Acceptance Letters" in my inbox. Unfortunately, it wasn't the actual notification. LOL. Oh well, hopefully next week will be the real thing. 

    Kim28, Not exactly sure. I can look it up later, but roughly $20K. The classes with books were ~$1690 at the time but I believe tuition has gone up since then. I also applied to Univ of Cinncinati. I have a few friends there now and another friend at...

13. BS holder - ADN or Second Degree Program - Please help!

    myblkcat replied to kalin's topic in General Nursing

    Unless the ADN fulfills an absolute time or financial constraint seriously consider the BSN. if you do decide on the ADN though community college is generally the better option. Everyone is correct when they say either way you will be busy as ever. Y...

    myblkcat replied to 808medicRN's topic in Post Graduate

    1CVRN, Have you had any trouble finding clinical sites/preceptors? Is it correct to assume that clinical selections are specific to cardiology? I am currently waiting on acceptance notification. I applied to the same track and subspecialty and am jus...

15. U of Phoenix's Online MSN Healthcare Degrees

    myblkcat replied to derekfitness's topic in Post Graduate

    I'm not sure what hospitals' perception is of UofPhoenix but I found it extremely easy to get into their MSN program. They did not require the GRE, GMAT, or MAT. I don't recall writing any essays or needing letters of rec. If there was any of that is...
