ChronicallystrongRN

following up, did you end up doing it? Currently exploring this as an RN and now future NP

Hi nursing fam I've officially been an RN for two years as of recent. I've ALWAYS wanted to be an NP. Recent events with a loss and constant job issues has me going back to school for NP. Within a week I got into a real online PMHNP program (has several real physical campuses, NOT a diploma mill). I think I'd be happy as either type of NP. However, my REAL passion lies in physical issues as I'm also chronically ill with several physical chronic illnesses. ALSO in my state FNPs can make around the exact same as RNs so it's not worth the financial debt. The biggest issue is I NEED an eventual remote job and I don't think FNP can ever be remote. FNP also seems like hell in clinics with slamming out patients in only 15 minute increments. I need something outpatient and would like remote. I'm really struggling and only have till end of next week to pull out of the program without financial repercussions. Please help ?

Hello I am about to graduate from RN school next month. Without much experience (aside from my 800 clinical hours in the program), what sort of jobs can I get with my disabilities? I have chronic fatigue (the worst), dysautonomia, mild disc degeneration/spinal osteopenia, fasting & reactive hypoglycemia, interstitial cystitis, insomnia, Sjogren's syndrome, the list goes on and on. Who would really accept me in CA as a new grad at a work from home job for example? That's what I really want but am also trying to get into new grad med surge positions just in case I need at least a year of experience and have to buckle up for a year or two.

I got rejected from two of them in CA

but Grossmont I can afford and since I already have a Bachelors---I really can't get government assistance getting a second Bachelors. That's why I chose Grossmont :). I just wished I could graduated sooner so I can apply for an MSN afterwards.

Hello everyone :) I was recently admitted into Grossmont's ADN program that starts in the Spring. I emailed a counselor about the program and wasn't 100% sure on her answer. I received my BA back in 2014 so a lot of the GE requirements (microbiology, anat, phys, English, Psych, Sociology, Speech, etc) have already been completed (except of course the nursing classes)....Will it still take me two years to complete my ADN due to a necessary sequencing of the nursing classes even with my BA already done? Thank you!

I got in today! Congratulations you guys!!!!!!! What were your point scores?

What about Grossmont? What was the avg points for them?

actually 86 points* WIll that help anything? If they calculate correctly that is.

sorry to reopen this thread but I read some of you had scores in the 80s but didn't get into Grossmont? How is that possible?

she told me the same thing with my 85 points!

I'm so nervous. I should have around 84 points if they calculate mine correctly (and aren't too lazy to look at my transcripts to see I have advanced language proficiency) I worry they won't calculate it correctly!!! So people usually get admitted in the 80s at Grossmont? We hear back in October? This whole process is so nerve wracking

Hi Niki, I know you made these posts years ago, but I am freaking out re the point system too!!! I have similar scores as you. I'm still waiting to get everything evaluated. So far, it's not looking too good! Apparently AP classes don't count for anything ? Pre nursing core is weighed so heavily! I got an 86.7% on the TEAS. Should I retake it and send it to them? let me know and let me know how you got such a high score your second round! Thanks, Bre

Hello, I just applied for Fall 2018 at Fresno. They did not ask or let you tell them about your volunteer experience. I listed those labs with 0 and CR. Does anyone know if you have to send in your AP credits to them if you already got them awarded on Nursing CAS? Thanks!

Wait, why not a 4.0 if you pass? Do MSN programs accept that? I am waiting to see the status of my app to WGU and that is concernug seeing I am seeing this as a fresh start if I grt in and would really need excellent transcript scores when I apply for a MSN
