4. slower paced MSN in nursing education

   CFrancine replied to phnII's topic in Post Graduate

   I don't know what your definition of an arm and a leg is. But I'm looking at attending Mid-America Nazarene University. It's about $21k for the program and I was told it had to be completed within 6 years. I think there are 13 classes for the MSN. Ju...

   CFrancine replied to CFrancine's topic in Post Graduate

   Thanks for the response! I actually just started with my company in the fall and plan to stay for several years, maybe the rest of my career. This company focuses on my specialty area, which is why I left the hospital. It was really the place to go i...

10. Is Dialysis nursing good for a brand new RN

    CFrancine replied to proudRN's topic in Urology

    Do what's best for you and your health. I couldn't do nights, I got into dialysis after two years for this reason (among others). Your first job is the toughest to come by. Take what you can get and live with

11. HD to PD

    CFrancine replied to Twinmom06's topic in Urology

    I was in your exact shoes and made the move this year. The PD is easy. Working in an office setting and realizing how much behind the scenes and the associated paperwork is the hard part. Also, you're not just doing a treatment and walking away. You ...

    CFrancine replied to CFrancine's topic in Urology

    Thanks for the info. I recently applied for a position. Your experience sounds similar to what I was told. Only thing I would add, for future readers, is that acute experience works as well. I've never worked in a chronic center but that didn't hav...

15. Experienced Dialysis Nurse wanting to eventually get a new specialty
