  1. Hi All, I'm new to this thread, I'm also in the BSN to DNP for Fall '17 AGPCNP . Does anyone know how the classes are offered, is it one class at a time for 6-8 weeks or all the classes at once.
  2. New RN, leaving after 6 months unprofessional?

    I understand that my advice is not among the popular. I also understand new grads and finding a job, if he/she is flexible and is willing to relocate there are jobs out there to be had. Advising someone to stay in a nursing position that he/she is mi...
  3. New RN, leaving after 6 months unprofessional?

    He/she does qualify for a new grad residency in some cases, it's too bad you feel that he/she is a "flight risk" because the environment that this hiring manager is in charge of creating is not nurturing for a new nurse. You're not guaranteed that so...
  4. New RN, leaving after 6 months unprofessional?

    I say go for it, do it while you're young. I have a 23 year old daughter who's graduating from nursing school this May and she's going to take the Summer off to do some traveling in the US and Canada. I did advise her to do it now before she starts w...
  5. MUSC DNP Fall 2017

    taylorthompson, University of Alabama (USA) has a BSN-DNP Spring '18 start as well, you may want to look into their program, you have to apply thru nursingCAS, I'm hearing that they are a little more forgiving about the GPA, the deadline is in July s...
  6. MUSC DNP Fall 2017

    Hi taylorthompson Sorry to hear about the mix up, that must have been confusing. Did you see my post about their recommendations? you can try taking the GRE and do well and that will increase your chances of getting in. Send an email and ask what the...
  7. MUSC DNP Fall 2017

    I got my rejection letter yesterday, I was already told by email last week. I'm waiting for George Washington, which I'm not very confident about since they put more weight on the GPA than MUSC. They recommend taking some classes to bring up my GPA o...

    Hi All I didn't get in, waiting for George Washington. Good luck to all of you
  10. MUSC DNP Fall 2017

    Hi All I've been checking my mailbox as all of you have, nothing for me. I haven't been on here for a few days, I'm seeing all kind of posts about interviews, emails about financial aid and scholarship, web-advisor for current MUSC students. I haven'...
  11. Do nurses have to work from home?

    I just thought I would share this year's ANA theme for nurses' week. It would be interesting to see how hospitals respond to it, when so many practices like coming in on your day off to complete Health Stream modules among other topics explored in th...
  12. MUSC DNP Fall 2017

    I work full time too, my kids are older but still at home (bigger problems). I may have to cut back, but really can't afford to. There is another allnurses thread from a 2016 DNP group, I left a message about juggling the program, life, work etc., no...
  13. MUSC DNP Fall 2017

    taylorthompson I feel your pain, did you apply to any other programs, I applied to George Washington, they extended their deadline 'till April 14, so I'll have to wait even longer for them. MUSC is my first choice. Hopefully by the end of the week, w...
  14. Do nurses have to work from home?

    I guess it would depend on where you work, I don't chart at home but my unit is very busy, I never have time to do my mandatory modules while at work, we do get paid for a number of hours they figure out it should take you to complete all the modules...
  15. MUSC DNP Fall 2017

    I applied to the Adult Gerontology NP program, I noticed you applied to the FNP program. I'm not too far from Fayetteville, about an hour. I'm not sure if some of the beginning classes are the same for all specialties. Hopefully we'll run into each o...
