  1. University of Minnesota

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

    I did get an acceptance email this afternoon! Congrats to you on MN

  2. University of Minnesota

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

    That would be

  3. University of Minnesota

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

    I too interviewed for the FNP program back in December. Was told next communication would be mid-February. I'm still waiting to hear back either way. I'm so impatient, I check my e-mail constantly!...

  4. University of Minnesota - 2021 DNP Applicants

    Healsalot replied to AYOoONPS's topic in School, College Programs

    Hello! I emailed admissions a couple of weeks back and asked if they were still in the process of reviewing applications, and whether or not applicants would be notified if they were no longer being...

  5. University of Minnesota - 2021 DNP Applicants

    Healsalot replied to AYOoONPS's topic in School, College Programs

    Has anyone heard how they handle rejections? Do you get a "thanks, but not thanks" email? If I'm not being considered it'd be nice to know that, rather than this radio

  6. University of Minnesota - 2021 DNP Applicants

    Healsalot replied to AYOoONPS's topic in School, College Programs

    Nope. Still waiting to hear either

  7. University of Minnesota DNP Midwifery

    Healsalot replied to sugarbunny3's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Nothing here as well. It's a bit frustrating. Even an update that applications are still being reviewed would be nice. This complete radio silence is tough. But like you said, at least we know...

  8. University of Minnesota - 2021 DNP Applicants

    Healsalot replied to AYOoONPS's topic in School, College Programs

    The waiting is

  9. University of Minnesota - 2021 DNP Applicants

    Healsalot replied to AYOoONPS's topic in School, College Programs

    I applied to the FNP track as well. Haven't heard anything since the initial "we received your application" e-mail. I'm anxiously awaiting any information! Hopefully we start hearing back

  10. University of Minnesota DNP Midwifery

    Healsalot replied to sugarbunny3's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So nice to see another FNP applicant! I too saw that the interview invites started coming out in early December last year, so now that we're here I'm checking my email several times a day! 2020 has...

  11. University of Minnesota DNP Midwifery

    Healsalot replied to sugarbunny3's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I too have applied to the DNP program for 2021, FNP track. I'm getting anxious to hear something! The last communication I received was the email stating that my application was received by the...

  12. Do you consider yourself a "highly sensitive person" ?

    Healsalot replied to Gentle Giant's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I believe I am. I'm so glad that I came across your post!! This is something I want to know more about. I feel like a light came on when I was taking that test . It makes so much sense to me,...

  13. Time to call a duck a duck?

    Healsalot replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow, really enjoyed this thread! Great discussion!! Keep em coming

  14. Hourly rounding signoff sheet

    Healsalot replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    I was on a unit about 2 years ago that tried that same thing. I felt it was condesending, and I never once signed the sheet. Just continued on with my work. Nobody ever said anything to me, and...

  15. Vent about work

    Healsalot replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    Staffing is and will continue to be a horrendous issue for some time I predict. We are expected to do way to much in the amount of time allotted be it 8 hours or 12. Nurse=machine. Its ridiculous....

  16. Burned out already?

    Healsalot replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me as well that it's more an issue of not being in the right area as opposed to "burn out". I currently work in the ICU. I too have always wanted to work ED (and L&D:p). I've often...

  17. Day/Night with young children at home

    Healsalot replied to jesshopper12's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I'm in agreement with a lot of what has already been said. I'm currently on a 12 hour straight nights schedule (currently next in line on the waiting list for a day position) with an 8...

  18. Pregnant inmate died after hours of agony in Syracuse jail

    Healsalot replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's absolutely disgusting, and I hope more is done to those involved than some half-assed slap on the

  19. One entree per person,please

    Healsalot replied to jmtndl's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that is so horribly

  20. Frustrated new L&D nurse

    Healsalot replied to clb6885's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I too think it sounds like you handled things well, and you sound like you know your stuff. I can't comment on the patient load because I don't have any L&D experience, but my advice would be to...

  21. So grateful to have a job but I'm hating it =(

    Healsalot replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    So absolutely normal to feel this way, and it does take a while! Nursing is not your run of the mill job where after a few weeks of repitition you've got it down. Its very challenging, but that's...

  22. Backbiting

    Healsalot replied to celticgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Venting is a must! However, there's quite a difference between venting and talking behind someones back. Not having the guts and/or decency to talk with someone face to face, and instead turning...

  23. Is this the norm or even right??

    Healsalot replied to 09RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would talk with your nurse manager, or whoever does the scheduling for your particular unit. Where I work 3 12's in a row is all they are allowed to schedule, however we can request 4 or 5 in a row...

  24. Are nurses really that important?

    Healsalot replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

    It used to be awesome to answer the question "What do you do?" with the response "I'm a Nurse!". These days I'm feeling incredibly more jaded, burnt out, and worthless than ever. I hate to admit...
