Can anyone break down working at DaVita, including the Salary

Nurse Magnolia replied to Jah Jah's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

I accepted a job in chronics - so the clinic. The hours for acutes is different than chronic, and I think you get paid more as well because you have to be on call. Great! Thank you! It's good to...
Can anyone break down working at DaVita, including the Salary

Nurse Magnolia replied to Jah Jah's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

I just accepted a position in Pittsburgh. They do pay more for the BSN but I'm not sure how much. If you have a BSN and 2 year experience you get even more. But I only have a year of experience so...
Take job in dialysis or OR?

Take job in dialysis or OR?

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

I guess I was worried it would be too routine, but the more I've read about it, I am finding that is not the case and I would have a lot of opportunities to challenge myself and learn new things....
Take job in dialysis or OR?

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

Thank you so much for this! This is my observation as well. Plus this job is with one of the big two so I know that there is a clinic in the town we plan to move to in a few years. I'm definitely...
Take a job in the OR, or Dialysis clinic?

Nurse Magnolia posted a topic in Operating Room

Yes...very different specialties. I have the opportunity to work at either and I can't decide between the two! I am a new nurse (9 months). I left my psych job a few weeks ago due to COVID and the...
Another Quitter

Nurse Magnolia replied to BlessYourHeartt's topic in Disaster Preparation

I did the same, and the guilt is real. Everyone thanking the health care workers and I am a health care worker that quit....it's enough to give you guilt. But resist it. My husband is...
University of South Alabama BSN to FNP Fall 2020

Nurse Magnolia replied to babyblue1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

With all the craziness going on in the world right now, I've decided to wait another year to pursue my NP, so I declined my acceptance from USA and deferred from Wilkes. Good luck to
University of South Alabama BSN to FNP Fall 2020

Nurse Magnolia replied to babyblue1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

it probably depends on when you applied. I applied in January - so it wasn't exactly quick. Also, not everyone who has applied has heard yet. I think we are in the first wave that probably had...
University of South Alabama BSN to FNP Fall 2020

Nurse Magnolia replied to babyblue1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

I applied and was accepted to their PMHNP program as well. I know someone who went through their school for Neonatal NP and found it very organized and well run. I figure that's good news. Most...

University of South Alabama PMHNP Fall2020

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

I heard back from them and because I have plenty of MH experience and a year of clinical nursing experience in an inpatient unit, they consider that to be enough for my acceptance into the program!...
University of South Alabama PMHNP Fall2020

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

I heard as well! I was accepted to the BSN-MSN program! I may not be able to go though. I’m taking a leave of absence from work due to COVID because my husband is severely immune compromised and I...
Which is better, a BA in Psychology or a BSN for the PMHNP?

Nurse Magnolia replied to HansenRN's topic in Psychiatric

PMHNP can prescribe medications and do some therapy. A master's in psychology can do counseling, but cannot prescribe medications. As a PMHNP, to have your own practice, you need to live in a state...
PMHNP Schools

Nurse Magnolia replied to Beth Martin's topic in Psychiatric

There are tons of online programs out there. Some online programs have short residencies attached to them, but they are short (1-3 days). Other programs have no on campus requirement at all. I've...
School with new program but finds preceptor? Or established program that doesn't.

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

Yes, both programs are fully accredited. The local B&M school is very well known in the area for their FNP program which has a 100% pass rate on their boards. I'm just worried because it'll be...
Capella University vs Western Governors University (WGU) - What is Your Experience?

Nurse Magnolia replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

What’s the problem here? I had a million credits from two other bachelor's degrees to transfer in, and a lifetime of experience to put towards this degree. I needed 8 classes to get my BSN and I...
Capella University vs Western Governors University (WGU) - What is Your Experience?

Nurse Magnolia replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

So you applied for the post MSN program? Or the post BSN program? I applied for the post BSN program. I think they said we'd hear within 8 weeks from
Capella University vs Western Governors University (WGU) - What is Your Experience?

Nurse Magnolia replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

For the BSN? I haven't had to do a fieldsite assignment yet. We did have some clinical hours where we had to present a seminar to others, but those others could be coworkers, family, etc....Or you...

Nurse Magnolia replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

Hi, I started Capella on Oct 7 and I have two classes left and expect to finish my BSN in March. So, 6 months to complete 8 classes. The program is very clearly laid out and you know what is...
Capella University vs Western Governors University (WGU) - What is Your Experience?

Nurse Magnolia replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

I was already employed but my employer paid for my BSN 100% as long as we went to Capella. I started Oct 7 and will be done by the end of February but I had a ton of transfer credits. It’s a fully...

Critical care RN to PMHNP, am I crazy? Looking for advice

Nurse Magnolia replied to ScottMedicRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

I don't understand how someone can become a psych NP without psych experience? As a psych nurse, I couldn't go for an acute care NP without acute care experience, nor should I be able to. Our...
Capella University vs Western Governors University (WGU) - What is Your Experience?

Nurse Magnolia replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

For my purposes, it’s cheaper than everywhere else because my employers pays 100% of our BSN if, and only if, we go through Capella. But for others they should definitely check the costs. I only...
