  1. RN Research Career Path?

    I'm currently an RN ADN with almost 5 years experience, about 3 of those years as manager of a post-acute rehab unit before I moved on to acute care. I hope to complete my BSN within the next six months. I'm looking at masters degrees. I'd like to be...

    Hoping for 6 months here too, I have 34 CUs to complete.
  3. Oh, and FNP specialty.

  6. Ah! ADN program I'm graduating from,.not an np program. Sorry.
  7. Accepted to Frontier Nursing University....WHOOO HOOO

    I know you need to have a year RN experience, generally speaking, to get in. Will they accept someone with only LTC experience?
  8. I'm about to graduate from an NP program and already work as an LPN at an LTC/rehab facility, on the rehab side. I enjoy my job, and when I get my RN I'll make a very good wage. I plan to pick up some PEDS home health clients through an agency as wel...

  12. What do you guys do to wake up in the morning?

    I work out three times a week. It means getting to campus an hour and a half early, but it's totally worth it. It makes me feel better all week long.
  13. Nontraditional Student Thankful

    Nursing school is the hardest thing I've ever done, and having a full-time job as a CNA doesn't make it any easier. Neither does having two young children. I'm approaching middle age. I have a bachelor of arts degree under my belt which was a lot of ...
  14. Funniest real orders you have seen in a chart?

    In an H&P: "Right leg was found to be gangrenous. Left leg was subsequently amputated."
  15. Discouraged in nursing school now

    You could work as a PCT or CNA at a local hospital, maybe just the weekends. Those jobs can even be hard to get. My advice: apply, follow up, go visit the hiring manager, tell them why they should hire you. Then a few years down the road you're an ob...
