   racingmurse320q replied to racingmurse320q's topic in NP Students

   In 7 days I went from the wait list to being accepted. Stay on top of the admissions coordinators to make sure you're being looked at/moved up the list.

   Got the email today...wait listed.

3. Frontier Class 148

   racingmurse320q replied to racingmurse320q's topic in NP Students

   Just waiting patiently and thinking that every new incoming email could be the one. Surely by tomorrow we will know something since we will be approaching the 6 week mark.

4. Frontier Class 148

   racingmurse320q replied to racingmurse320q's topic in NP Students

   My email that I have states that notification will be made 6-8 weeks from Frontier Bound date. That would mean somewhere around mid-late January hopefully. Oddly enough 8 weeks would be Jan. 4th, which is the application deadline.

5. Frontier Class 148

   racingmurse320q posted a topic in NP Students

   Anyone applying for Frontier class 148? I've turned in all of the paperwork and application for FNP and now playing the waiting game. I haven't found another thread specifically for this class but if there is one, can someone please send me in the ri...

6. Give me the good and bad of Chamberlain

   racingmurse320q replied to YoAdrienne216's topic in Chamberlain College

   Wyoming is a traditional 16 week semester. All classes are online, no clinical component. The classes can be taken one at a time or you can double or triple up if you can swing that with work or other life commitments. The classes are a mixture of so...

7. Give me the good and bad of Chamberlain

   racingmurse320q replied to YoAdrienne216's topic in Chamberlain College

   I can vouch for University of Wyoming, just finished my RN-BSN on Friday. I live in Kentucky found that the program was still rather affordable for me compared to other similar programs and the "for profit" programs. Finished in 2 years but probably ...

8. Is this legal?

   racingmurse320q replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

   I would be interested in seeing other replies on this issue. The occasional 3:1 for a nurse in the unit happens, but daily for over half the staff seems unacceptable. It's a burnout/compassion fatigue issue for me, but legally I would like to see wha...

9. If you are not a nurse, do NOT use the title, please

   racingmurse320q replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

   I've been saying this for a while. I appreciate my nursing assistants for what they do but I do not appreciate it when they call themselves nurses or see people I know who are NA's call themselves nurses on social media.

10. Back to ICU from clinic job

    racingmurse320q replied to racingmurse320q's topic in General Nursing

    I really feel like the 5 days a week of clinic life and the monotony involved is burning me out. I actually worked in ICU yesterday and it was absolutely insane, not because anyone was crashing, but because I had 2 transfers and then picked up a pati...

11. Back to ICU from clinic job

    racingmurse320q replied to racingmurse320q's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. Money really isn't the issue because I'm getting paid roughly the same as I did in the hospital. There is an itch to go back because I enjoyed the hands on aspect of it all and the critical thinking involved. At the clinic, not ...

12. Back to ICU from clinic job

    racingmurse320q posted a topic in General Nursing

    Background: I took a job right out of my ADN in the ICU, a job that I dreamed about through school. After I got there I realized it wasn't all I had made it out to be in my head even though I loved the hands on application of my nursing skills and th...

13. New Grads in the ICU - Summer 2013

    racingmurse320q replied to blueorchid981's topic in Critical

    I've got 2 more shifts of orientation and then I'm on my own. I feel like I've gained a lot of confidence through the orientation process but I know I've got a long way to go. I've already had run ins with those arrogant, egotistical physicians and i...

14. How different is ASN vs. BSN?

    racingmurse320q replied to parkj9's topic in General Students

    I really think its ultimately a program by program type of thing. In my area we have a community college and a University that both offer degrees in nursing and in this particular case, the CC has a more prestigious program and higher pass rates for...

    Sorry about that, you fixed it before my reply was posted.
