2. Advanced Public Health Nursing Certification Confusion

   woofyrn replied to woofyrn's topic in Public/Community

   Acourie, I'm just wondering if you might be one of the first ones to actually have to submit a portfolio, since January 1, 2014 was the first day this was required. I imagine quite a few (if not most) nurses rushed to get certified by exam prior to ...

3. Advanced Public Health Nursing Certification Confusion

   woofyrn replied to woofyrn's topic in Public/Community

   Thanks to both of you for your responses. It seems like a very labor-intensive process for both the nurse and the review panel, but I guess it gives a better overall picture of professional accomplishment. Makes me wonder why public health nurse cert...

   Hey folks! I'm about to enter a graduate nursing program to obtain my MSN and eventually become a CNS dealing with HIV/AIDS as an advanced public health nurse. I want to thank everyone for their invaluable contributions to the other threads in the Pu...

6. New BSN graduate to immediately try and get an MSN in Leadership?

   woofyrn replied to learningnsgstudent's topic in Post Graduate

   There are near-legendary arguments on these boards about the wisdom of going back to school for your graduate degree without getting experience as an RN. Basically, what you're wanting to do is nothing that hundreds of others applying for the Maste...

7. Have Male Nursing Students felt bias during class/clinicals?

   woofyrn replied to Murse Wannabe's topic in Male Students

   Interesting to hear this is still going on to a certain degree. I graduated in 1993, and the only difficulties I *ever* had was during OB rotation -- and not from patients. Everyone else in our group got to watch a delivery, but the OB nurse was ad...

   woofyrn replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate

   Good luck everyone! I am curious to read that the CSU schools have notified applicants of admission status. I have an application into San Francisco State (which was due the same date as UCSF), without any notifications yet.

    Euthymia, check out Zillow and Craigslist for rentals in the Bay Area. Be prepared for sticker shock -- 1BR/1BA rentals average around $2300 in the vicinity of UCSF, and in much of SF. There are in-law units (basically renovated basements of individ...

    I got an email today that I was accepted into program late this afternoon. Pretty surreal. Thanks to everyone for their kind words.

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate

    No email yet, website still reads, "Under Review." @angelasolleder, i'm really bummed that you didn't hear better news. I wanted everyone on this forum to get in, because I feel like I know you (since I re-read the posts nearly every day). If I do...

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate

    Shoot, jojonavy.....I wished you'd gotten more hopeful news. I appreciate your letting us all share our anxieties here on this thread. I know further back you said you'd most likely apply again next year to some state schools. Good luck to you!

    I don't think you need to apologize, Ivan0904 -- I (and i'm sure many others) appreciate that you took the time to post, so we can see the different responses and (more importantly) the rationale behind those responses. Frankly, I wish more people wo...

    Thanks for the info about UC Davis .... I have a nurse friend who was expressing some interest in the program awhile back, but was also uncertain about the commute (we both live in San Leandro). There's always the Capitol Corridor train which stops...
