1. Integrative Health & Healing DNP--is it worth it?

   LilRNonthePrairie replied to LilRNonthePrairie's topic in Doctoral

   @Tegridy this post is 7 years old. I currently make nearly $200k annually. My education paid off, substantially, but thanks for the "advice" anyway :) P.S. I didn't pursue the full IHH DNP, but I did get a minor certificate in IHH as I earned m...

2. Presentation college LPN-BSN track-looking for info

   LilRNonthePrairie replied to fifi1's topic in LPN-RN

   I finished the program in May 2014, started Fall 2011. I took a full time course load each semester and was also able to continue working full time through the entire program (I worked overnights as an LPN and have 3 young children, one of which was ...

   LilRNonthePrairie posted a topic in Doctoral

   I am accepted to begin the Doctor of Nursing Practice program at the University of Minnesota beginning in September. I will be pursuing the psychiatric mental health specialty, but recently the thought of adding in the integrated health and healing (...

4. Brandman University BSN-DNP 2015

   LilRNonthePrairie replied to justcup's topic in Post Graduate

   I have my registration appointment today. Are you going to be staying at a hotel, or do you live close enough to drive each day? I am looking for someone to share a room with, but I am not getting any reply yet from Ms. Trobiani who coordinates that....

5. Brandman University BSN-DNP 2015

   LilRNonthePrairie replied to justcup's topic in Post Graduate

   I just found out that I was accepted Friday. I will be in the psych track of the BSN to DNP program. I am pretty impressed, because I am from MN and our Nurse Practice Act changed in 2013 so that all instructors who teach a MN RN have to also have a ...

   LilRNonthePrairie replied to LilRNonthePrairie's topic in Post Graduate

   I agree with you, but what if I don't get into one of the local programs? They are extremely competetive because there are only 2 in the entire state of MN for psych, and the acceptance rate is pretty low due to the amount of people who apply. That'...

   LilRNonthePrairie replied to LilRNonthePrairie's topic in Post Graduate

   Yes, I realize this now that I have heard from the BON this week. My question is, should I rely on my adviser at Brandman's word that it "will be taken care of" and license all of the faculty that would be teaching me with a MN endorsement, or should...

   LilRNonthePrairie replied to mtsteelhorse's topic in Post Graduate

   Thanks grandpaj! I actually was accepted to Brandman (Irvine, CA) just today, and supposedly they are willing to do whatever they need to in order for me to be able to attend. I am waiting to hear back from the Dean on Monday to find out if that actu...

   LilRNonthePrairie posted a topic in Post Graduate

   I just found out that I was accepted to Brandman University (Irvine, CA) to start next month their BSN to DNP program. Here's my situation: I am from MN. I didn't realize until I was applying to grad school that MN is very particular about where stu...

10. EKU MSN

    LilRNonthePrairie replied to mtsteelhorse's topic in Post Graduate

    Well, EKU was a no-go for me I applied, sent over all transcripts...then got the call. I was told that because I am from MN, they are not considering my application. Even though they are approved by the Office of Higher Education, they are not appro...

11. Is it legal for my supervisor to ask me to alter my charting?

    LilRNonthePrairie replied to LilRNonthePrairie's topic in Relations

    As a side note, when I went back and read the charting for the next few shifts after mine, they really stepped up their care, interventions, and documentation. I really believe it was a case of the staff not realizing that the person was experiencing...

12. Is it legal for my supervisor to ask me to alter my charting?

    LilRNonthePrairie replied to LilRNonthePrairie's topic in Relations

    I appreciate the input! Without disclosing too much additional information, the charting from the prior shift would indicate that the client had not been adequately cared for. So, to a certain degree, those nurses didn't really try to hide the fact t...

13. Is it legal for my supervisor to ask me to alter my charting?

    LilRNonthePrairie posted a topic in Relations

    Recently, I had to write up an incident report, and wrote a progress note in great detail about the events that occurred. My colleague and I were concerned that this client had possibly been neglected on the previous shift, and we did all that we cou...

    LilRNonthePrairie replied to ValarMorghulis's topic in SRNA

    Thanks for your reply. Thankfully it just posted today, so all is well. I hope they are quick with the GPA calculation now, although I do agree this is probably a much busier time of year for them.

    LilRNonthePrairie replied to ValarMorghulis's topic in SRNA

    I am applying to a different track at the U of M, and the deadline for me is 11/1. I am wondering what your experience was like with NursingCAS? How long did it take to process your application? I submitted my application but their system still says ...
