  1. Vanderbilt Applicants?

    FLAgal14 replied to starryeyed's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I got into Vandy last year but didn't go (due to some financial reasons). But I have the impression that they look at more than just numbers - you have to have the minimum requirements as listed on...

    FLAgal14 replied to tinu's topic in Nursing Career

  3. Most RN's first borns?

    FLAgal14 replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the baby of the family, I have 2 sisters and a brother, but I am the only one from my father (so technically I'm his first born I guess),and my parents don't drink, but a few of my relatives have...

  4. Where are all the Direct Entry students???

    FLAgal14 replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Kensington I was accepted to Vanderbilt last year. But it was just too expensive for me and I didn't want to take out too much more in loans as I'm floating in loan debt as it is right

  5. Where are all the Direct Entry students???

    FLAgal14 replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not a DE student, but I was accepted to DE program last year but chose not to go (for financial reasons). But I just wanted to let you know that I was accepted with my pre-req's done at a...

  6. accelerated BSN experiences

    FLAgal14 replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi JUBSN I'm currently applying to the accelerated BSN program at FAU. I was just curious, as I never got a straight answer from admissions, when were you notified of your acceptance? They mentioned...

  7. Any Michiganders take the HESI recently? (the prenursing school one)

    FLAgal14 replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm taking the HESI next week and I didn't think the study guide was that great. I like to take practice tests to gauge what my strengths and weaknesses are, and there are none in the study guide, and...

  8. What is reasonable in terms of tuition?

    FLAgal14 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Vandy is very expensive, I definately agree with you on that. On their website though, they have a lot of information on scholarships ( http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/nursing/msn/scholarshipsint.html,...

  9. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    FLAgal14 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    thanks everyone for your responses - I didn't think she was right but it was so strange for the director of the nursing school, and she's a nurse practitioner herself, to say this. I think she was...

  10. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    FLAgal14 replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    OK- so I've read through these posts and came away with the understanding that if you get your MSN prior to the legislation stating that you need a DNP to be a Nurse Practitioner, you would be...

  11. I'm glad I didn't go to med school because...

    FLAgal14 replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well $300 g is counting in my undergrad loans. And the average med school debt is misleading because it takes in the average of all those atttending med school - and there are some that are having...

  12. What now?????

    FLAgal14 replied to tnd511's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you take it more than once and improve just a little (by 10 points) - the improvement may be a fluke - however if you take it again and kick some major butt on it and improve much more - I don't...

  13. I'm glad I didn't go to med school because...

    FLAgal14 replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well let's see... I got into med school last year and decided not to go for various reasons: 1) The cost of the programs: I had nightmares about being nearly $300,000 in debt by the time I was done...

  14. higher pay for BSN grads?

    FLAgal14 replied to evans_c1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You are so right... and that argument has been beaten to death too (go to SDN - there is pretty much a MD vs. DO thread everyday). It seems like every career in healthcare has a us vs. them mentality...

  15. Mph?

    FLAgal14 replied to StaRNew's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have a MPH in epidemiology - you can also PM me with any questions about

  16. RN-BSN or MPH?

    FLAgal14 replied to Pianoforte's topic in Nursing Career

    Brownrice you bring up some very good points. I did have a lot of trouble getting a public health job after I got my MPH. I got my MPH in Atlanta so I would've had no trouble getting a job there...

  17. RN-BSN or MPH?

    FLAgal14 replied to Pianoforte's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi BPPITT I am doing the reverse of what you are doing right now. I currently have a MPH and am now going back to get a BSN (I'm not a RN right now, I have a BA in public health). As for your question...

  18. Where were u 9/11/01?

    FLAgal14 replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I was working for the federal government in Bethesda (a suburb right outside of DC) on 9/11. I remember walking to work I had my discman on and I was listening to the radio and I heard about the first...

  19. ~Ways to pay off your nursing loan/debt ?

    FLAgal14 replied to thida's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are some government programs that will repay your loans or provide a scholarship +stipend - but they usually entail that you commit to a certain # of years of service in return. Here are some...

  20. Should I retake my GRE?

    FLAgal14 replied to share's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think that you should - your quantitative scores are good but the verbal is low - but you may want to check with each individual school you are interested in because some schools have cut off points...

  21. CRNA school with children

    FLAgal14 replied to crnastudent1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    In a perfect world it would happen the way that you described it should, but life isn't perfect and sometimes things occur out of order. I wouldn't call it selfish on the part of the OP to go back to...

  22. midwife or MD?

    FLAgal14 replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Jayla- Just as a FYI - everything that a MD does is within a DO's scope of practice - there is virtually no difference between an MD and DO anymore (they take the same med school courses except...

    FLAgal14 replied to peanutRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Peanut There are several different routes that you can take to become a NP but each route depends on what your current experience is. To give you good advice it would be helpful to know what your...

  24. Nursing--->Med Sch

    FLAgal14 replied to RasberryTea's topic in Nursing Career

    If you go onto Student Doctor Network you will find plenty of nurses that pursued medicine - but typically it wasn't right after nursing school - it was after they practiced as a nurse for awhile. I...

  25. Nurse practitioner VS. MD

    FLAgal14 replied to Keyzee's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi Keyzee I actually got into med school this year but decided not to go and am pursuing the NP route instead. But there were a lot of factors involved with it for me - money, my age, and I have a...
