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

    ytooter replied to Loose_Replacement_00's topic in School, College 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...

  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

    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,...

  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...

  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...

  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...

  7. University of Minnesota

    ytooter replied to Amber_nc's topic in School, College 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...

    ytooter replied to Amber_nc's topic in School, College Programs

  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

  14. St. Scholastica DNP-PMHNP Admissions

    ytooter replied to CPEM's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  17. College of St. Scholastica Post-Baccalaureate Nursing Program Admissions

    I was wondering for those who stake a lots of prescription drugs (for legit reasons) is there any drug test requirement for the school? Asking for a

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

    ytooter replied to Loose_Replacement_00's topic in School, College Programs

    Thought I slam-dunked the interview, got waitlisted, got off waitlist. It was a roller coaster. Basic jist, what challenges do you expect why the U of M questions. They probably have some rubric they...

  19. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    ytooter replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't think school is that bad, and I definitely think that work atmosphere in my hospital is not emotionally driven, in fact, perhaps too far ignorant/right-leaning at times. At least people are...

  21. BSN vs. MSN-Weighing my options.

    ytooter replied to TimothyGnarlson's topic in General Students

    I've looked into this a lot. Seems like it doesn't really matter when you graduate if you have a BSN or MSN, you might start at a slightly higher pay rung and that's it. If you go on to DNP, you will...

    ytooter replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    IT's true! SO if you're in Canada, you can take the boat to the US and pay the premium to have your procedure done in the US, just like the USers

  24. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    ytooter replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    As a white man in nursing, I also can't stand the sexism and racism I face every day. In school, any time I got a right answer in class, my female classmates would condescendingly say, "Oh, good for...
