Anyone, anyone? :) I am enjoying how organized the program and school are so far!

I would go back, but for a different reason than you might think. I find myself better suited to the NP role as the decision-maker/case manager for pts on the floor than in the OR. Of course, your...

Tuition was just raised for '13 - '14 and they are now only admitting for Fall entry, no more Spring entry.

Tempo, some PA health systems are heavily unionized, which will affect pay. Most of these systems have some form of EMR, but some are more advanced than others. Also, some are magnet while others...

Summit, I wondered the same. I know in CA, NPs and PAs are being trained together. No additional information, sorry!

Thank you for your input! I am fortunate in that I work with NPs whom have graduated from all the PA schools, and each has it pros and cons. Workload actually is different at different schools - I...

Hi Neuron! I meant that colleges outside of PA do not always serve PA students (or all states for that matter), and it seems one less issue to simply stay in-state. I thought it deceitful and...

Neuron (I like your name :)), supposedly nothing is being sent until May, but I thought maybe someone heard differently or received a notification. As for the program, I've heard very rigorous, find...

Anyone waiting to hear from Drexel on Fall 2013?

Anne, I learned the hard way that you get what you pay for. I thought I was smart to get into a local program on the cheaper side. I also got out as quickly as I got in. I really wanted Georgetown...

I made the mistake of entering a MSN program with a school that is NLN, not CCNE. What a joke! Instructor made up the syllabus as she moved along, discussed her family the entire class, not enough...

Blue, get ready for sticker shock - pay in Florida will be drastically less than NY, for the same job. I relocated to FL from PA, and moved back up north again. Job market was bad when I left, but...

Thanks, trauma. I did research several FNP programs in the area. If I was younger w/o a family it would be no prob, but now I have to prioritize cost, location, duration of program. With those in...

I agree, be sure to stay with accredited programs... Got my BSN in FL from accredited program, moved to PA, found a job but that was over 7 years ago. I would never be able to do the same in this...

I had to laugh at the commute question/look of surprise, too! However, from their point of view, they want to be sure if they hire you, you won't quit in a month because the commute is too far. ...

Do it now! Like you, I always knew I'd go back once I got my BSN. It ended up being years later. In the time I spent wondering about going back, I could have just done it! I know once I complete my...

I am starting an AG Primary Care NP program this month, and I'm hoping I made the right decision to go this route vs. FNP. I have been looking at NP job listings and most of them want an FNP. Do...

I'm not acting on anything and this is not an order - I'm only making up a form and the doctor is away for the next 2 weeks. I thought it was something very common and I wanted to get the form done...

Quick, help! I'm mocking a physician's order sheet and the physician wrote for a Foley "continue to BSD (I assume this is bedside drainage), indication sacral breakdown or I&O MCTU or MLTC or MUTC"...

Magnet requires communication, and I wondered how Magnet sites are achieving that, given that most nurses are not given email accounts. I'm also seeking an online method exclusively. Thank you!

If you are a magnet facility, how do you handle communications when your nurses do not have email accounts?

Is anyone using OAS Gold for electronic documentation? Thank you!

I was told Cincinnati is using OAS for electronic documentation - can anyone verify? Thank you!

Any problems with implementation? How long have you had it? How many people were trained? How did your RNs handle training? How long was training? Do you have the entire Picis (OR and ER) or...

Is anyone using this?
