1. Anyone know about Maryville's FNP program?

   grizmama replied to jd2186's topic in Post Graduate

   I live in Utah and had very little issues finding multiple preceptors. It's graduate school so there is a lot of self mastery and self instruction but it's manageable. It's really what you make of it. Tuition is competitive compared to other online p...

2. Maryville vs. Chamberlain FNP

   grizmama replied to Meggo33's topic in NP Students

   I am in my 4th semester at Maryville and I like it. I feel like I am learning and am able to have kids and work. It is what it is: graduate school which is hard and demanding and requires dedication and self motivation.

3. Boise state online RN-BSN

   grizmama replied to Sarah922's topic in Online Learning

   A couple of tests that I took at home in the beginning but I think they did away with that and no tests now. Mostly papers and a few group projects.

4. It's a crime to take pictures of your patients

   grizmama replied to Alnitak7's topic in HIPAA

   Maybe I should have given better background on this app, I apologize for that. It was developed by MDs at Stanford that helps students share interesting diagnostic images, labs, skin issues etc. The images can only be shared if there is consent, whic...

   grizmama replied to Alnitak7's topic in HIPAA

   Check it out before you reply to me. It's made for medical students and workers. It has built in consent forms and ways to protect patient privacy.

   If there is an interesting case you can take a picture of it using the app figure 1. It's pretty cool.

7. I miss work

   grizmama replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

   I agree!

8. I miss work

   grizmama replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

   I have had three kids while working full time as a nurse and this happened to me with my first baby. I couldn't wait to get back to work and did when she was 3 weeks. With the other two (especially with the last one) I did not want to go back at all....

9. How much do new grads earn in Boise?

   grizmama replied to aubrienora's topic in Idaho

   I think it's important to have some healthcare experience but it most likely won't be necessary. GPA will not be considered. There are threads in here that help you write your resume to highlight past jobs that will help you in your new career (leade...

10. How much do new grads earn in Boise?

    grizmama replied to aubrienora's topic in Idaho

    I think St Lukes pays the worst. I would start looking at west valley medical center in nampa because they pay much higher. The two main hospitals in Boise are competitive with each other and have plenty of new grads to choose from with three RN prog...

11. Help with carrington college

    grizmama replied to Summertime75's topic in LPN-RN

    I graduated from there 2 years ago and they let you transfer credits but only a certain amount, 12 I think. The program was great and since I had an associate degree from another college I went on to BSU and got my BSN. I didn't think they were pushy...

12. Pregnant, Work FT, Nursing School FT!!! Help!

    grizmama replied to God'sLittleNurse2b's topic in General Students

    I had a 16 month old and was pregnant my 2nd year and worked. It's all possible if you want it to be. Also everyone was way nicer about it than I thought they would be.

13. Just a rant rn-bsn

    grizmama replied to ChipNurse's topic in ADN/BSN

    I just graduated from Boise state's online Rn-bsn program and LOVED it. The cost is $1050/3 credit class. Good luck!

14. I can't work at the VA hospital when I graduate!

    grizmama replied to El_blanco's topic in ADN/BSN

    I graduated from Carrington in Boise and the major hospitals do not hire from there because they don't want to. It was not hard for me to get a job in the area and no one cared where I went to school (as long as it wasn't one of the larger hospitals)...

15. Should I consider a career in home care as a new graduate nurse, bsn?

    grizmama replied to skyheaven477's topic in New Nurse

    I agree with Lady, I took a job in home care because I was also overlooked for the hospital job. You can't try to work in home care after being on a floor for more than and year IF YOU CANT GET A JOB AT A HOSPITAL. This is not the original posters dr...
