  1. Just dx with avascular necrosis

  2. Frontier Class 133

    I was accepted to Walden. But people either praise them or say they are a bad school. To me you need a good school, but at the graduate level, it will be how much you really want to put in it and how good a practitioner you want to be. I also have ...
  3. Frontier Class 133

    Nrandl1. Did you know what number on wait list you were. I am on it. I emailed them to no response all day. I did get accepted to another program today. So I have choices. But frontier was at top of list.
  4. Frontier Class 133

    I was placed on wait list. No clue what number I am.
  5. Frontier Class 133

    I emailed (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME - PLEASE DO NOT POST NAMES OF THOSE IN YOUR PROGRAM PER TOS) and asked when we should hear anything since my dept. is working on our schedule that goes from Thanksgiving to Christmas. She emailed me back yesterday a...
  6. Frontier Class 133

    Someone posted in class 132 message that they received email that this Friday they will start to receive acceptance notices. So I say we should start to hear next week or the week after. Which is right on time frame of 6 to 8 weeks before bound.
  7. Frontier Nursing University Class 132

    Well that means 133 shouldn't be far behind. I was hoping 133 would find out middle of September, but looking like October. Good Luck. Once you find out I will be starting to get nervous.
  8. Frontier Class 133

    Its 6-8 weeks before Bound Date. They sent me an email to confirm they received all of my application materials and informed me of this. We should start to hear soon. Hopefully end of September, but more than likely sometime in October.
  9. What's staffing like at your facility?

    I work at a VA facility. ICU is 2:1. Med/Surg is ideal 5:1 RN and 5:1 LPN/NA. That means for every 5 patients they have 1 RN and 1 LPN or NA on a team. Half the time they might have 6 pts to a team, and very rare they have 7 togther. That includ...
  10. Frontier Class 133

    I cant find that. I have applied for that class as well as a girl I went to ADN school with. We both are curious. She has looked on FB and I have been on there website looking.
  11. Any Frontier Nursing class 134 FNP applicants

    I put my app in for class 133. Hope to hear something next month. I'm sure it will be more towards October though. Fine with me, but all my eggs are in one basket. Sloppy adn grades. But knocked it out in bsn classes
  12. Frontier Nursing University Class 132

    Good Luck. I was hoping they would get to you all faster. You are the bridge program. I applied to the DNP program class 133. Hope you all start to hear soon, but wont happen now till probly mid to late septmber because of the new deadline. I wa...
  13. 38y/o male nurse?

    When I went to nursing school out of high school, my class had 30ish students. It was at a small junior college that was well known for its nursing program. Of those 30, i think less than 10 were younger than 30. I would say over half were over 35...
  14. Wearing scrubs to a funeral?

    Have scene nurses do it all the time. Specially in my home town when residents at local nursing home passes. The facility lets nurses pick up overtime shift to cover everyone to come to funeral home to pay respect and they all wear there scrubs.
  15. va outpatient clinc

    I am a nursing supervisor, NOD, at a VA. What caliboy760 stated is mostly the job details. Thats low pay. In my area some of the CBOC nurses that have BSN and a few years experience in clinic make around 30.00 hour. They are nurse II. Once you s...
  16. VA Hiring Process

    Yes, 3 months is very fast. My process took approx 5 months. I have been at the va for almost 5 years and love it. There is still the old government red tape, but taking care of our nations veterans is a great feeling day in and out.
  17. C = Degrees

    I was same as you. Then I decided I might want to apply for NP school. So while in BSN I kicked ass and had above a 3.5 GPA. I hope that shows the committe that when I was 18-22 I didnt care about anythign but a C and nightlife.
  18. Are men not as neat as women nurses?

    I have been in nursing for over 12 years and I have yet to counter a messy male nurse. I think in my opinion males are cleaner. I am a clean freak, so I am always cleaning the nursing desk and work spaces. I have a bad habit of when I go assist ot...
  19. Frontier Class 133

    I have applied so now just a waiting game. As someone posted earlier, and per an email I have recieved back from the school, we should start to find out very end of September and into October. This is approx 6-8 weeks before bound date.

  21. Low starting pay for new RN?

    I am as well from southern illinois. Vienna to be pin point. I work at lourdes, but when I was shopping around 2.5 years ago, starting pay was anywhere from 18-21 an hour depending on where you worked as an RN. Just remember that this is base pay a...
  22. Failure rate of nursing schools.

    The school I attended has had a 100 percent NCLEX pass rate for the first time taking test for both LPN and RN boards for 3 years running. The down side is, when I started the LPN year we had close to 50 students. Of that around 30 or so passed and m...
  23. Mckendree University - BSN progam??

    Sorry just getting back to you John. The course work is not as intense as ADN education. The hardest part is the papers you have to write. Mckendree makes them ahve a major paper in every class. You will be fine with research I took it after havi...
  24. Calling all Paducah, KY Nurses!

    At lourdes we have lost 3 nurses to CRNA school in the last year. Their are currently 3 of us that are getting classes together and apps together to apply to CRNA school. We do lots of open hearts. Currently we did as many open hearts as WBH did t...
  25. Calling all Paducah, KY Nurses!

    ICU is def a fun place but very stressful too to work. glad to see you all come through one day. Only advice I like to tell people is find someone that has been a nurse for years and use them as a crutch when your having a bad day and just need to ...
