    NurseyMcNurserson replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    You'll still graduate with your MSN, you'll still be able to sit for boards...BUT you will have a LOT of difficulty finding preceptors and if you have questions on assignments or require clarification...

  2. UTA-FNP Spring 2018

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in University of Texas Arlington

  6. UTHealth Houston FNP Summer 2018

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to Sssupernurse's topic in School, College Programs

    I have to say that my interviewers were not friendly - not a single smile. One wouldn't make eye-contact, while the other stared intently occasionally reading questions off her paper. Very awkward....

  7. UTHealth Houston FNP Summer 2018

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to Sssupernurse's topic in School, College Programs

    I had my interview yesterday as well. I'm awful in an interview setting, so I don't feel like it went well, but hopefully my grades and experience help to make up for it. I applied for full-time and...

  8. How did you get your ER position?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Emergency

    I'd say your best bet is to work as a tech or unit secretary in that department. Be awesome, get to know the managers and other staff, then apply for an internship position when you

  10. Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Be a sponge - just soak it all in and learn, learn,

  12. Any success stories for getting in Texas BSN Program with 3.0-3.25 Science GPA?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to ImposterSyndromeRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you considered retaking any classes at community college? I'm not saying it's easier...but you'll likely find smaller science classes and professors with more time to sit with you and explain...

  13. What would you have done differently?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to kid iowa's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you having to find your own preceptors? If so, that's something you should start thinking about/networking

  14. Experience required for NP schools

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to Babynurse1992's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Go for it! Clinical experience doesn't have to be in a hospital (think home health, ambulatory centers, etc). If you're doing FNP, you should be fine in most

  15. Leaving ER Nursing & Finally Going to Go to Cosmetics/Aesthetics! Can I get some feedback?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to Fleurtyluxe11's topic in Aesthetics

    Apply at Ideal Image or the like! Many of these places will train you on these procedures (paid training!), even for part-timers. Otherwise, you have the option of attending classes at National...

  17. Frustrated New Grad

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to AshleelRenee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Keep applying! Try to network with NP/PA groups on FB in your area as someone is bound to post something. It's all about networking unfortunately. Have you applied to all the places where you did...

  18. UTA FNP 2016

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to TCUFrogRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  19. UTA FNP 2016

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to TCUFrogRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm curious as to which courses ended up transferring? I'm starting at UTA 1/15 and am applying to UTHouston's summer session hoping to transfer 6 hours to UTHouston. Thank

  20. What’s in your bag/what should I have as a newbie?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I work med/surg and always keep phone chargers in my purse. Almost weekly, I have patients who came to the ER, were unexpectedly admitted, and their phones have died and they can't get their contacts...

  21. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    I love 12 hour shifts, especially when you're getting/giving report to the same nurses. I think it's great for the patients and continuity of care to only see 2 nurses per 24 hour period. More time...
