1. minute clinic

   NurseAnneH replied to NJ-RN's topic in NP

   Interesting comments. I LOVE my job at MC, and feel it's a full use of my skills, and is totally autonomous. Honestly, I have found myself face-to-face with so many odd situations. I have sent a NSTEMI to ER via EMS, diagnosed a PE, diagnosed a sever...

2. minute clinic

   NurseAnneH replied to NJ-RN's topic in NP

   It's not cookie cutter at all. You have your own license and prescriptive authority. You can really do what you want at MC. What more autonomy can you get by being at the clinic by yourself? Granted, I do get occasional chart reviews, but I do not al...

3. minute clinic

   NurseAnneH replied to NJ-RN's topic in NP

   I agree with you, and I'm perplexed at those above who say the job lacks autonomy. What more autonomy can you get by being at the clinic by yourself? Granted, I do get occasional chart reviews, but I do not always follow the SmartSet order sets, and ...

   I have worked for CVS MC as a provider for a year, and I LOVEEEEEEEE it! I love the company, I love the clinic and the environment it has, I love working on my own, I love being in control of what supplies I order, how I market, etc. The hours are pr...

5. WGU MSN in 6 months

   NurseAnneH replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors

   I'm with you SweetheartRN. I've never had to contribute to a post/blog either. I have had to write exhaustive research papers. This person is not talking about the same program at all. And they are not worth arguing with! LOL Anyone attending WGU kno...

6. WGU MSN in 6 months

   NurseAnneH replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors

   Metroishka, I agree with you. I don't think McLennan is talking about the same program. This is not SUPER hard, but it is very time consuming, you need a good solid writing background, and the online proctored exams are NOT easy. I am pretty bright, ...

7. WGU MSN in 6 months

   NurseAnneH replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors

   That has not been my experience at all with brick and mortar. I have been talking to advisors at Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt and UCSF for their DNP programs for ACNP. All of them accept WGU's credits and so far everything will transfer. I just need to ...

8. I am 24 days into WGU's RN-MSN program and I love it,

   NurseAnneH replied to skoolrn's topic in Western Governors

   That course has been changed as well. There is no outside vendor physical exam you have to conduct. It's an online proctored test like the other objectives.

   NurseAnneH replied to skoolrn's topic in Western Governors

   With so many competency-based RN-BSN or RN-MSN programs out there, most NP programs are now modifying their entrance criteria to include the 'pass or fail' curriculum. You just get a letter from your course mentor as a reference, and they are already...

    COS is Course of Study.

    NurseAnneH replied to skoolrn's topic in Western Governors

    You do NOT have to go in a specific order. It's up to you and your mentor to decide on what's best for you. I would like to recommend doing UBC2 (evidence based practice) before BEC1 (statistics) because they tie into each other. My mentor reports th...

    NurseAnneH replied to skoolrn's topic in Western Governors

    Hello all, this is my first post. I've been in the WGU program since January. I finished my first term (6 month term) in just 11 weeks, leaving me lots of time to accelerate more classes from the next term. I started with three, and finished those as...
