  1. University of South Alabama dual FNP/ACNP Fall 2019

    Thank you for the information on this program. I stumbled upon it by accident and found what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the website didn't provide the information I was hoping for but all of you have!
  2. Western University MSN-E Program 2021

    Thank you for that information, I will do that!
  3. Western University MSN-E Program 2021

    Is anyone currently attending this school? I came across their information and I am a little concerned that so many have stated that they are having trouble with communication from Western U. I know that Covid has changed the face of education but ...
  4. California is on my mind

    Hello, You have presented many good questions but my question to you is where are you currently located? CA is nice and the pay appears to be decent but of course, the cost of living is high. The UC system is good in all areas, their pay ...
  5. Touro DNP - any recent graduates or current students?

    Hello, I am sorry I just saw this post and for some reason no longer get notifications from AllNurses when someone posts. I enjoyed the DNP program at Touro but I graduated 3 years ago so things have probably changed. As you appear to be doin...
  6. What is One of the Most Memorable Moments in Your Nursing Career?

    Most memorable moment? Performing a surgical cricothyrotomy in the back of an ambulance in the middle of the desert as a flight nurse. The patient had been joyriding on a motorcycle through the desert in the middle of the night and the passenger on...
  7. Medical Helicopter Crash.

    This always breaks my heart...
  8. Do you miss bedside nursing?

    I have worked from ICU bedside to Lifeflight and don't miss the bedside at all. Do I miss the people I worked with? Of course! Now I teach the next generation and LOVE what I do! Had I only taken this route years ago...
  9. Touro University DNP

    Hello! Like meanmaryjean, I am also a WGU/Touro alumni! I graduated July 2017 and at that point it was a Leadership track and you were not allowed to do anything related to Education. My Capstone project was completed in a Trauma/SICU setting and ...
  10. Online Faculty with MSN?

    As the others have said the pay will probably not be comparable and most online fulltime educational opportunities usually require teaching experience and a terminal degree. The teaching experience in a ground setting allows the employer to see that ...
  11. DNP Touro Nevada

    WGU MSN-Ed. grad here also! Just remember with this program it's one and done with your assignments-no revising and resubmitting as WGU was. In the DNP Project courses you have the opportunity to resubmit after your Mentor gives their suggestions. ...
  12. DNP Touro Nevada

    I finally finished! WooHoo!!!
  13. DNP Touro Nevada

    I am now down to 3 weeks left in the program and yes for our cohort your Mentor needed to be licensed in the state and in the area that I live in.
  14. DNP Touro Nevada

    I second Mary's comments. I have 8 weeks left and feel like I am dragging my half dead carcass to the finish line. We started with 15 in our cohort and now have 10 left standing...It's great to complete in a year but like Mary said, the pace is bru...
  15. NP certificate after MSN at WGU?

    There have been many successful transitions from a WGU MSN degree to NP programs in the Education track that I completed. I can't remember where they were all accepted but if you would like the information let me know!
