LadyEJ BSN, RN

My BSN GPA is not the best and I am having a hard time getting into an FNP program due to the tough competition. What are your thoughts on getting a Masters degree in something other than NP and then applying to a DNP program...assuming I will get ex...

Thanks for the input! I'm considering earning a MPH through a distance learning program and then applying for an FNP program. Although, if I get a MSN such as Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) then I could earn a post-MSN certificate in FNP. So many option...

I also live in Michigan and I was fired today from my job in a LTC for a misdemeanor-unlawful use of a motor vehicle. I thnk the best bet is to move out of this state.

I didn't know how boring being a Public Health Nurse would be...ugh

I just interviewed for a LTC facility today. I disclosed my felony arrest (dismissed) in the interview. The application asked about convictions only, I have 2 misdemeanors: leaving the scene of a personal injury accident and unauthorized use of a mot...

I graduated with my BSN in December 2009 and passed the NCLEX March 2010. I got hired at a huge Detroit hospital 1 week after I passed the NCLEX, the first job I applied/interviewed for. I was so happy that I thought I was dreaming...then I got a cal...

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have swapped jobs?? :) My community health clinical instructor helped me get my job...I didn't actually apply. BUT, I did just see a job posting on craigslist the other day for another Maternal Infant Health Program (M...

Thank you! I have been thinking about trying at a nursing home. I think I will look into it this week

Thank you all so much for the encouraging words. They really mean a lot. I am in tears as I type this. I'm so dissatisfied with my life right now...I just have to keep the faith and find the strength to move forward.

I am planning to apply to a distance learning FNP program in the near future. I graduated in December of 2009 and began working as a public health nurse in April 2010. My BSN GPA was 3.24 and my overall GPA from all colleges attended is just barely a...

A nurse educator would be a great idea!

I seriously cannot believe that the board would deny someone a license for unpaid traffic tickets. Totally unbelievable!

Oakland University in Michigan if GPA above 3.2 (above 3.5 for CRNA program)

Ive never heard of a Bachelors program out of a Community College. Which school if you don't mind me asking?

CRNA programs are extremely competitive. I am applying for an FNP program this Fall and I was told at an informational meeting that as long as you meet the requirements you will be admitted. Its best to contact each school that you are interested in ...

Maybe you could have tried a little harder to teach the mother about viruses and how antibiotics are ineffective against them. It sounds like this mother misunderstood what you were telling her. I know how overwhelming parents of pediatric patients c...

I am in a very similar situation! Im 25 and just graduated with my BSN Dec/09. I went into nursing to become a CRNA but now I am looking into an FNP program because of the whole "I need to think about starting a family" idea that I have in my head. I...

Keep em coming please. I don't have a DUI but my ARREST record is whats holding me back

OMG...I wish they would stop with that NONSENSE! There is no shortage!!!!:smackingf

Oh no prinsessa... Its so hard out here. I cried all weekend because I'm lost and exhausted. There are no jobs for me to apply to! Everyone wants experience. I still haven't heard from the job that I interviewed for last week. I called the nurse recr...

I graduated Dec. 09 and let me tell you...job searching as a new grad totally sucks! :icon_roll

I sure hope so

Congrats on the new job!!! Good luck to you, I'm sure you will do fine. Don't worry, just take it one step at a time. :)

I'm sure no one intends to insult LPNs in this thread. It is a known fact that LPNs make less money and have different responsibilities. I agree that the OP could have used a more tactful way to compare the two. Nonetheless, no one attends a BSN prog...
