Hi! I am looking at starting a DNP program for FNP next year and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the FELS program offered through CFNC.org. Any feedback would be helpful! Also, the college I am looking at attending is East Carolina ...

Did they tell you how close to the top of the list you are? Hope you get in there! I'm sure there will be some who applied who will decide to go elsewhere. Best of luck!

I got accepted to UNCW! Whoop!

I know I'm over-analyzing this, but maybe it's a good sign that it said to check back tomorrow rather than "waiting list" or something else. Good for you for ECU! DNP program, yes? Congrats!

I received an email today saying that a decision has been made and that I must log in to my application tomorrow after 5:24pm to see what the decision is. They like dangling carrots don't they???

Please update as letters start rolling in. I'm holding my breath every time I check the mail!! í ½í¸¬í ½í¸¬í ½í¸¬

Hey! The FAQs on the website say we will by by May 1st, so I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get notification any day now. Sooner the better. When you receive yours, please post here so we can be on the lookout!! :)

Hey nurseypoo26! I have applied to the UNCW FNP program for Fall 2015 matriculation as well! I am so nervous!!!! Best luck to you!

Is there anyone who is in this program or who has a lot of information about it? I have contacted someone in the nursing department at the University of NC at Wilmington and she just directed me to the website (which I already saw). I'm interested in...

Nope. No info but I applied. Crossing my fingers!!

Hello! I work in pediatrics and our surgeons currently place pt's on a Morphine PCA and then POD#1 transition to PO analgesics with Oxycontin BID and Norco 1-2 tabs Q4H PRN. However, the surgeons expect the nurses to administer the pain medications A...

GRE is the Graduate Record Examination which is one of the exams that may be required for admission into a graduate level program.

Yes, I would tell your nurse educator and manager of the floor you work on before she does. It would sound better hearing it from your first.

At the hospital I work at, we work three 12-hour shifts per week and they're not always consecutive. So, they try to put us with the same patient if we are working consecutive days, but it doesn't always work out that way. Patient turnover can be pre...

I think if it was the other way around and a male instructor had made a comment about women, it would be a huge deal. Lucky for them most men don't care. The only reason it bothers me is that it's a double standard. I, for one, try to be very neat an...

If you were accepted into nursing school with that hair and it doesn't violate the dress code, then I don't see a problem with it. I'm just going to throw this out there though: Nursing has come a long way in the past several years and nursing has wo...

There are no rules (aside from maybe dress code). It really is up to what YOU like, not what others like :) I personally don't like stethoscope covers, but does that make me more manly? I don't think so.

Truly and honestly, past acedemic performance is a good indicator of future acedemic performance. While this is not always true and people overcome acedemic struggles, it's important for you to know and to know that medical school is going to be the ...

I am a male and I am also a pediatric nurse and I LOVE it! Whenever someone asks me where I work I proudly tell them I work in the Pediatric ICU! I did 4 years of adult med-surg before I went into PICU and, while I feel the experience was invaluable,...

Hi! I am a pediatric nurse in a PICU and also a male. I have equal amounts of patients who are females and males. I have not seen any difference in staffing except when sexual abuse is suspected in the patient or the patient has a history of it. This...

Not enough information given to make a determination of what I would do.

Hi Hayden! I am Daniel and I am an RN and I work in a PICU. I also float to the pediatric floor and to the NICU (step-down/MNUR). I LOVE working in pediatrics and wouldn't trade it for anything! I am the first and only male nurse in the PICU at my ho...

If anyone lives within reasonable driving distance to University of North Carolina at Wilmington, MSN-FNP tuition and fees is about $15,000 (according to what I can tell from the website; I've requested exact program tuition/fees and will update if n...

I'm not sure this can be answered here but I didn't know where else to post it. Maybe you know someone who can answer or know where I can find the answer. I am an RN and a family member asked of they could take my picture to remember me by. I agreed...
