   Bdab posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   So I've just been accepted into an MSN-FNP program, but it doesnt start for another several months. My background so far is 4 years in heme/onc, and just passed my 2.5 year mark in a neuro/pulm ICU....

2. Hopefully taking CNA classes soon, tips/tricks?

   Bdab replied to transparentChaos's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   Always have a change of clothes, and a second set of scrubs in your car. Learned that one the hard way. Sometimes, it's wet, on you, and didn't come from you. Having backups on hand is fantastic! And...

3. FNP Hopeful

   Bdab posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   So, long story short, I'm looking for some advice here. I want to bump my career up to the FNP level now that I've got a few years of practice as an RN in what amounts to a low level ICU/high acuity...

   If it helps you guys for scheduling purposes, originally when I was accepted to the lafayette school, I was waitlisted. I got my orientation information three-ish days before the actual date. It was...

   I'll tell you what. Every step of the process from start to end is stressful, but you will never, ever regret any of it. I about had a heart attack when my license number popped up and changed to...

   Holy cow this thread exploded. Sorry I've been quiet for a while. I come bearing good news though. I now have the letters "RN" proudly next to my name! That test was absolutely BRUTAL. I'm glad to see...

   Oh jeez. You'd think they would keep some form of uniformity between the schools. I still think solid hunter green instead of one color top and one bottom would look so much classier. The fact that...

    I honestly don't remember there being "rounds". We had paper applications, and you either got a rejection, waitlist, or acceptance letter in the mail. They seemed to come whenever the nursing chair...

    I agree. I remember being pretty pressed and under the gun for my immunization record (I'm a california native, and they mysteriously couldn't find them). I had to have titers drawn for just about...

    I actually just got my permission from the BON (There's a long drawn out process that takes a large chunk of time to get everything sorted by the state) to take my nclex, and it's scheduled for June...
