Sorry to dredge up an old post, but does anyone have any information on this statement? I can't find anywhere in the coursework or in the webinar that says that we get 10 hours of credit on our HGT...

From what I understand, your transcript is just listed as GPA 3.0. I can't speak for CRNA school, but I have already been provisionally accepted to an FNP program at my local university this Fall....

I, too, was worried about being accepted into an FNP program with my WGU degree -- primarily because of the whole GPA issue. I'm finishing this May and I'm already provisionally accepted into a local...

I'll echo klone's comments in that it's not necessarily challenging, but it is tedious, long, and boring. Speaking with a few of my colleagues who have gone the ADN-BSN route at other universities,...

WGU definitely isn't a "money muncher". That's laughable to even think about, because (as others have pointed out) they're non-profit and allow you to complete as many courses in a 6-months term as...

Done.

I took the DSST/DANTES exam entitled "Lifespan Development Psychology" and WGU applied it to the Human Growth and Development requirement. You can find out more info on DSST exams at...

Hey guys. So, the acceptance letters are starting to roll out for U of M's Fall 2013 FNP cohort. I got mine yesterday and am really excited to have been accepted! Anyone else get their acceptance...

Have you looked at other programs and compared how long it will take, what courses you will need, and when you can start? Unless you find another school with continuous enrollment -- like WGU --...

Generally, graduate nursing programs don't look at your individual courses and where they came from. They generally only require the BSN. I have seen some graduate programs that require a 3-credit...

Actually, "Recipient, this is Caller" is proper radio etiquette, at least for every FD, EMS, and PD in my county. And for our MedCom. And for every hospital that receives radio reports. But, I only...

Just putting some feelers out there to see what others have done for their community health practicum (HGT1). I've already gotten my topic down to obesity, and may narrow it down to childhood...

What you will likely have to do is get a Paramedic license from Nebraska and reciprocate into Oregon. That's what I had to do with my EMT-B license and that's what I believe I will have to do with...

For EMT-B, there is no required minimum number of calls, so it was not a problem. I didn't really do any prep. There is an Emergency Care manual for the class, but everything was covered during the...

I know this is a bit of a necro-post, but thought I'd post in case others were looking for the info. I took PEARS today. My hospital is transitioning in a program where everyone who has PALS has...

I don't care if the DON told me to do it or not, I'm not writing my alphabet soup on every freakin' whiteboard.

LOL = little old lady DFD = done fell down DFO = done fell out FDGB = fall down go boom BMT = baby momma trauma CTD = circling the drain DRT = dead right there ADASTW = arrived dead and stayed...

Page respiratory and get some help in there. You're in an ED full of people that should be able to assist you before your patient goes bad. Sounds like this patient may benefit from CPAP/BiPAP. Also,...

Just an education opportunity here: If you lose one, you're probably going to lose the other in the aftermath. It may be beneficial to value both equally.

Definitely one of the perks of working in the ER as well. I can ask mother-may-I to the physician all day long and he/she won't care, since they're sitting right next to me :D

Same here. You got a verbal order earlier in the day, but wrote it as a telephone order at 2am? Something doesn't seem quite right there. Are you sure you aren't backpedaling because you didn't get...

I would be interested to know as well. Graduating in March and hoping to get into an FNP program.

I'll give a +1 for Creighton's program. I went through Creighton for their Nurse-to-EMTB program and will go back in May for their Nurse-to-Paramedic program. Nurse-to-Paramedic is only two weeks,...

I think that a 12-year-old could probably put together a better website. Looks like another fly-by-night company that wants to copy the College Network model. I would stay far, far away. They are...
