AnnaN5 what sort of practice is your current position? Just curious. Thanks everybody for all your replies!

I imagine this question is really employer-specific, but was hoping to hear back from NPs about how difficult it is to get solid vacation time. As a floor RN, I'm used to figuring out 3 weeks off in the winter and a 10 day spring and fall trip. Thi...

anyone work as a FNP for the VA? Seems they offer their RN's good vacation (30 days?) so I assume they'd treat FNPs well too?

I lived in S America for 2 years and as far as I know there is no such role as an NP. Might be different in different countries, but I'd be surprised.

Hi! I'm planning on applying for JHU accelerated nursing program for June and was hoping I could get some feedback on the vibe there. I know JHU is a big name-- is the atmosphere really competitive once you're in? I'm looking for a high quality, but ...

Hi there everyone! I'm not a nurse (yet. I'm taking prereqs right now) but learned a bit about MRSA when I trained as an EMT. Yesterday, I started a job working at a group home, and I was reading his medical history and saw that he has "inactive m...

mld-- I hear you on your headache over the decision! I got an acceptance email today too, and am pretty set on going but also had an acceptance from a nice but super pricey univ out of the area too. I've also moved back to the MN after being gone s...

Yeah, I just found that page now too. I guess 50% isn't too intimidating...

I heard last year that the interview was really conversational. I'm just really glad it's one person interviewing rather than a group interview. A friend of mine who has been interviewing for med schools mentioned how some of her interviews were se...

Anyone know how many get interviewed vs how many admitted?

I got one too! Mon the 8th! Have any of you heard about what kinds of questions they ask? I'd like to feel somewhat prepared but have NO idea what to expect!

wow that sounds AWFUL! In comparison, I guess I've lucked out so far with my classes! Good luck with the rest of patho. Are you planning on taking any summer classes? I'll be in Stats if I get accepted. I already took it but it was lower-divisio...

The good thing though is we'll either get accepted or rejected before spring semester grades factor in-- so that kinda takes the pressure off! I imagine they'll tell us we have to keep a B or C average or something in remaining prereqs to qualify (I...

Yeah I'm taking it at the U now too. I studied like mad for that test and got a 37, arrg! Who cares about K activated coagulation factors! Seriously! Anyhow, have any of you heard more about the interviews? I got that email saying they were pus...

Hi! I was accepted for this June (2010)! but haven't started yet, obviously, so don't have any more info. But I'm super excited! And really hoping for some scholarships as the price tag is giving me cardiac arrythmias :)

Yeah, I think my app was postmarked earlyish October, so maybe you're right. I have no clue how many ED applicants there were, sorry! I had missed the calls and just got an email...

I was accepted on Friday! I haven't really processed the news yet... Or the impending student loans! Good luck to everyone who is still waiting! And looking forward to meeting y'all!

That makes me nervous that they had so many more applications this year! eeek

I just applied too! Very excited!

What's the area around campus like? I don't have a car...

No, I haven't heard. Stay positive! The wait won't be long now!

Anyone heard back yet? I read that last year, some early decision folks found out end of Nov/early Dec...

Hi! I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to get into major debt for a BSN. I already have a degree (and the debt that comes with it) and am going back to school for nursing. My question is, does it matter if I get an RN from a community colle...

Also, what kind of MSN does one need to teach in an ADN program? Thanks! molly

Thanks for the advice! I know, the ADN is SOOO much cheaper, but part of me wonders if it is worth it to do an accelerated BSN program (1 year) and just get it over with, even if it does mean lots of debt. And I hear the job market for ADN nurses i...
