1. University of Minnesota's Master of Nursing Program Interview

   ytooter replied to Loose_Replacement_00's topic in School Programs

   I think it was like April 15. If I remember, they let the first acceptances know about April 1, and gave them until April 14 to respond, and then I heard on the 15th, so, I imagine, I was highish up on the waitlist so they had heard enough nos to off...

2. Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

   ytooter replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

   Sociopath nurse? I dunno about you, but I certainly have worked with a few... they usually go into management.

3. The Minnesota Nurse Association Contract Settlement is the First Step for Better Staffing

   ytooter posted a topic in Union

   The recent contract settlement between the Minnesota Nurse Association (MNA) and Twin Cities and Twin Ports hospitals was a crucial first step towards better staffing in hospitals. The agreement, which followed a three-day strike by nurses, includes ...

4. Are we not talking about the largest nursing strike in US history happening right now?

   ytooter replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah I didn't go into nursing for the BIG money. I did it so I could feed my family. Making $40 an hours is not 6 figures... who is saying a nurse could easily make 6 figures? And who is working a 1.0 FTE. Anybody that does not see what is going...

5. Are we not talking about the largest nursing strike in US history happening right now?

   ytooter replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   If the budget is pie, how about we decrease the million dollar salaries of executives who never set foot inside the hospital. 30% is not the final offer, you can't start negotiating with your final offer. 20 years with practically no raises means 30%...

6. Hope for bullying?

   ytooter replied to CShel's topic in General Nursing

   As a nurse for fewer than 5 years, I try to pick up the bullying slack from the older nurses. ::sarcastic:: But seriously, I precept and I do not hate letting the newbies sweat a little and saying things like, "It's up to you," or "It depends on...

   ytooter replied to Amber Cuevas's topic in School Programs

   I feel like it's been enough time for them to respond. I do have to plan my life around this stuff, they apparently don't understand. I have great grades and good work history---if they don't want me maybe I don't want to be there.

   Well looks like they just never got back to some people even when nudged?? Is this a waste of $70 and hours of labor or what?

10. How to Successfully Advocate for Better Staffing

    ytooter replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    The reason you're not getting more staff is that administration is cheap and doesn't care if patients get hurt. They'll only change their tune if residents complain for you.

    Thanks for the response! My friends wonders if they know about if this is the same for DNP...

    Congrats, now that you are almost finished, are you happy with the program?

14. St. Scholastica DNP-PMHNP Admissions

    ytooter replied to CPEM's topic in NP Students

    At an info session they said they get about 1.5x more applicants than spots. I'd say that's pretty good odds. I think they still want you to have a year experience at least at the start of the program. At the end of the day they want people who can p...

    Sorry Amber. We'll see what happens for the "late" deadline people now that initial acceptances have been sent.
