    mcluvin replied to EGD530's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    mcluvin replied to cryoung's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Ryan, I wondered if you could tell me how flexible classes are at Fort Kent for ABSN (online classes). I was recently accepted to ABSN but I live in the Southern part of the state (I have a family...

    Hi gcano93, Did you ever get off the waitlist? I was waitlisted for 2020 and unsure of what to expect. I'd appreciate hearing about your experience on the waitlist for the ABSN.

    mcluvin replied to mcluvin's topic in School, College Programs

    Got my letter and waitlisted, so I feel a bit better. Hopefully a spot opens up. With 50 slots I am sure someone may pursue other options and let me squeeze in. Any other waitlisters on

    Hello, Has anyone out there applied to this program for May 2018 start or already in the program currently? If so, does anyone have any information about when they send out acceptance/rejection...

  15. Good Economy / Opportunity for Nurses

    mcluvin replied to Shelwanderer's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Maine. Maine RNs make below the national average for nurses and yes the cost of living is high, mainly due to taxes and inflated rents (in the Portland area). Nearly all professional jobs in...

    Being a CNA at a hospital is hard work (as is any CNA work) and usually (in many hospitals) you would work 36 hours weekly, in 12 hour shifts, 3 days per week. As a hospital CNA on oncology, I bathe...

    mcluvin posted a topic in Nursing Career

  22. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    mcluvin replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I find it poor logic to conclude that the OP's situation is the common outcome of most direct entry MSN graduates. I think whatever experience preceded the direct entry admission is what really counts...
