1. Blood Bank Nurse as a New Grad?

   TeachEm replied to TeachEm's topic in General Nursing

   Hey! So yes, I was able to find another in-patient position a couple of months later that I totally love! My biggest recommendation is to wait it out if you feel like you don't have a good position available, I'm honestly super glad that I didn't tak...

5. Blood Bank Nurse as a New Grad?

   TeachEm replied to TeachEm's topic in General Nursing

   I've heard of this. So this organization has a hospital that is relatively competitive (I believe the organization is a subsidiary of that bigger hospital). Do you think that I would be able to wiggle my way into the bigger hospital after a couple of...

6. Blood Bank Nurse as a New Grad?

   TeachEm posted a topic in General Nursing

   So I just received an offer to work as a blood bank RN as a new grad nurse from a reputable organization in California. As exciting as it is, I'm slightly concerned that the job and the clinical experience will pigeon-hole me to only blood banks and ...

7. Applying for Reciprocity without Physical License

   TeachEm replied to TeachEm's topic in General Nursing

   Hey NICU Guy, Thanks for the tip! My issue is that a lot of reciprocity applications require more specifics, like when your license was issues and when it will expire. And I can't pull that from the verification site (which makes me believe that it's...

8. Applying for Reciprocity without Physical License

   TeachEm posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello everyone! I passed the NCLEX for a New York license a little more than a week ago. I wanted to get started on the reciprocity/endorsement process for California (as I live there), but I don't know if I should be waiting for my physical RN certi...

9. Columbia SON MDE 2019

   TeachEm replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

   Hey, so I am a little hesitant to share my stats, I'm trying to avoid identifiers and such, just for privacy purposes. But here's a great blog that I used to help me with my applications for Columbia, hopefully this could offer some guidance: sincere...

10. Columbia SON MDE 2019

    TeachEm replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

    So I don't think I saved any of my essays onto the application while I was working on them. I copied the prompts onto a Word document and I worked on them on that document. After I completed the essays, I just copied/pasted them onto the website and ...

11. Columbia SON MDE 2019

    TeachEm replied to Glal2's topic in School Programs

    A big disclaimer for the essays: In last year's MDE thread, the essay prompts that were shared with us from the previous year were very different than the ones we got on our actual application. There is a good possibility that they will be different ...

    Hello my lovelies! TeachEm here, I was accepted/will be attending the Columbia MDE/DNP Program for the FNP specialty in May (I applied last cycle)! I hope to be a resource for you guys as you embark on this application process together, and I will tr...

13. Columbia School of Nursing MDE 2018

    TeachEm replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in School Programs

    I think that you'll be fine. It seems like you'll have around 6-8 months of volunteering experience, which I would consider enough. I had a bit more, but I do think 6 months would be considered the threshold for adequate volunteering experience. Just...

    I declined my offer of admission, best of luck to everyone on the waitlist!

15. FNP in In-Patient Settings

    TeachEm replied to TeachEm's topic in Advanced

    Well, I'm already in this program, it would be hardcore back-tracking to rescind my seat and re-apply to PA school. Ahaha. This is a discussion for me to consider re-routing specialties to maybe Adult-Gerontology or Acute Care. I guess I still need t...
