   No, unfortunately not. I'm just a lowly home health nurse. Guess I'll have to dig deep on this one. Guess this was the wrong place to get support.

   trolloc6340 posted a topic in NP Students

   So my continued battle with ECG Academy goes on. Today we are studying Hemiblocks. Now when we took the basic course, I at least had an idea of what we are covering. Now that we are doing the intermediate course, I feel like I have no clue what I'm d...

   trolloc6340 replied to trolloc6340's topic in NP Students

   Interesting replies. I currently work full time nights. But i'm thinking that will come to an end very soon. I'm thinking that it will be too much on my plate to work full time. What would you think about working for a Home Health/Hospice agency whil...

6. The future is now!!!

   trolloc6340 replied to trolloc6340's topic in NP Students

   And you are so right about not giving up! Ever since my career change several years ago, it has been a struggle. But with every new milestone, I got that much farther. I remember starting from nothing, working a crappy job at Sam's Club, and going to...

7. The future is now!!!

   trolloc6340 replied to trolloc6340's topic in NP Students

   As of right now, i'm pursuing the Adult/Gero NP path. I think that would make the most sense for me at this time. I have very little exposure to taking care of children, so I did'nt think FNP would workout too well. I can always go back for it later ...

8. The future is now!!!

   trolloc6340 posted a topic in NP Students

   About a month back I posted on my woes of getting into NP school. Due to my crapola GPA from a previous career, this was really hurting my chances. As you know, to get into a MSN program, all coursework is cumulative. I applied to a local college in ...

9. If you work nights, what are your days off like?

   trolloc6340 replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

   My schedule is hellish, running 12's. And the nights off are not much better. I usually keep my night schedule if only a few days off. But the more days off I have, i slowly reset to day shift schedule.

    trolloc6340 posted a topic in General Nursing

    They say that it's all different when it's your family, and I can attest to that. Having been a nurse for the past 6 years, I have seen many things. But this one hit home for me. I will try to elaborate quickly. Long story short, girlfriend's dad com...

12. A slightly dishonest question about transfering credits...

    trolloc6340 replied to trolloc6340's topic in General Nursing

    I was unaware that graduate schools only consider the most recent coursework. The adviser at the school I applied to specifically stated that the GPA is cumulative and that implies all course work taken, even if it is not nursing related. My previous...

    trolloc6340 replied to trolloc6340's topic in General Nursing

    Good replies. Its good to know where I stand. And i'm glad you guyz/gals told me about it. I have made the decision to attempt to clean up my GPA as best as possible in order to apply for NP School. It will be be painful, but it is necessary if it ge...
