   Online NP programs with minimal Papers

   rizahawkeye replied to Devonelyse90's topic in NP Students

   I believe graduate schools of any kind require a lot of paper writing. It's one of the skills you need to improve on if it's not your area of expertise and I don't think you can get away from that. If it comes to any school that requires less paper w...

   West Coast University MSN student where are you

   rizahawkeye replied to RN-dancer's topic in NP Students

   It's good that they will have that reimbursement for you. I need to find a way about that too. The good thing is, if you really want to pursue the FNP track, you actually have some time to prepare for those intensives, like saving up money. Bluenurse...

   West Coast University MSN student where are you

   rizahawkeye replied to RN-dancer's topic in NP Students

   I also have a friend who is doing MSN - FNP track at WCU and she also said it's doing well for her. I didn't know she's at WCU until I finished my application. She got 20% off of her tuition because her hospital is affiliated with WCU. Good for her r...

   Pre/post treatment assessment in a chronic dialysis clinic advice/tips?

   rizahawkeye replied to ClumsyOne's topic in Urology

   I agree with the first two comments. Speed is something you learn later on. Being crucial in your assessments are very important. If they are wearing thick clothing, ask them nicely to remove it temporarily. Explain to your patients what you are doin...

   Doing refresher course or start dialysis?

   rizahawkeye replied to ReeShee's topic in Urology

   Hi! I'm currently working in a chronic dialysis facility and I also came from Philippines. Training in a dialysis facility gave me a lot of growth, both personally and professionally. The training is extensive, and rough. But it is also good since yo...

   Noncompliance

   rizahawkeye replied to Twinmom06's topic in Urology

   Usually, the most compliant ones are in the first and second shift. I have encountered patients in the past that were put on 3rd shift from 1st or second shift due to missed treatments. Each patient's non compliance could be actually situation-specif...

    Noncompliance

    rizahawkeye replied to Twinmom06's topic in Urology

    I am a Clinical Coordinator in a chronic dialysis setting. It's impossible to involuntarily discharge a patient due to missed treatments and signing off early. The Network will say no to this no matter the reason is, unless there is an obvious mental...

    Pearson Vue Trick NOT accurate

    rizahawkeye replied to love.elle's topic in NCLEX

    Pearson Vue trick is never accurate. I knew this when I did it when I took my NCLEX-RN examination based from the forums I read here in the website but I did it at my own risk. It worked fine for me but I knew the risks I was facing at the moment. An...

    What kind of GPA do I need to get into Nurse Practitioner school?

    rizahawkeye replied to ananana123's topic in NP Students

    Preparing ahead of time is great! I'm glad you have that kind of mindset. I never realized I want to pursue NP school until I started working. I worked hard in my BSN degree but my GPA is not that great but I am proud to say that I was prepared for m...
