   CoffeeQ1PRN replied to LiL_Unico's topic in General Students

   You think you will be respected as a nurse? Yes my patients/families are often thankful and wonderful, however overall I would not consider myself greatly respected as an ICU RN. Even doctors get "treated like garbage" occasionally. If you don't love...

2. ACNP: procedures and scope

   CoffeeQ1PRN replied to Jakob_cunningham's topic in NP Students

   Hey! Im about half way done with an AGACNP program, so anything I have to say is of course, only from a student. What I have seen both as an RN and NP student is it has more to do with what the specific hospital will let you do, rather than what is ...

3. 2017 UPENN MSN Applicants

   CoffeeQ1PRN replied to PedsKBEnurse1's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi sajRN I personally did take chem and bio, however I do not believe they are required for the program. If got your BSN without those classes I would not worry about it. I also got the GRE waived. I believe most if not all accepted students were n...

6. Please Help: Weight Gain in Nursing School

   CoffeeQ1PRN replied to Allison007's topic in General Students

   I worked out most days and trained for multiple full marathons, running 40+ miles a week in nursing school (BSN). I actually found it easier to workout/eat right in nursing school than I did when I started working 12 hour nights. You will be fine. Li...

9. What would you consider an awesome GPA, after finishing nursing school?

   CoffeeQ1PRN replied to Lightning90's topic in General Students

   I agree with 3.5! The hospital I work for requires a 3.5 for all new graduates. In many NP programs you can skip the GRE if you have a BSN GPA of above a 3.5 (sometimes a 3.2). Working as a full time RN applying to NP school I am very thankful I did...

10. New nurse. What do I need?

    CoffeeQ1PRN replied to ChiMan360's topic in General Nursing

    Mini sharpies! I keep one on my ID to time/date/sign any dressing change/tubing/IVPB/open saline bottle/whatever. Having it right there is a great way to never forget to label something!

    CoffeeQ1PRN replied to cwata14's topic in School Programs

    From previous threads it seems MSN only applications have a different timeline, I still have no details about when I will be interviewing. I heard Friday 11/11 about setting up an interview.
