  1. Hi everyone. I’m a BSN, RN who is attempting to re-enter the workforce after being out for several years due to caring for my husband who passed in 2020. It took me to the end of last year to get myself together and to get the CE’s required to reinst...

    Is it still worth it?

    I’m 48yo and still hope to go to graduate school. CNS fits more into my goals than a NP does. Currently my state did away with their one program and the next closest state to me that has any CNS programs is Indiana. Is it still worth getting? Wh...

    Returning To Work After Long Absence

    I've worked night shift the majority of my nursing career and love it. Little to no interaction with administration. I can't believe I was able to get a Friday, Saturday night schedule. It's actually perfect. I'm still working out childcare, but I th...

    Returning To Work After Long Absence

    I'm very glad also. I had thought about school nursing as that would have defiantly worked with my daughters school schedule. I honestly hadn't wanted to return to bedside nursing, but with this schedule I think I'll do alright. Working weekends only...

    Is it still worth it?

    I don't know if I want to be a NP as I want to specialize and work in cardiology.

    Returning To Work After Long Absence

    OMG! I went to yet another job fair yesterday and was hired on the spot. I decided to accept a part time, weekend only 12hr night shift position. Get myself back into working again. Also, working Friday and Saturday works perfectly with my daughters ...

    Returning To Work After Long Absence

    I'm on all of them and have revised my resume so many times it's not even funny LOL. Even though I've been out a while, I shouldn't need that lengthy an orientation unless I get a job on a specialty unit like ICU. Refreshers definitely.

    How To Get Started

    Continuing Education in Delegation

    Does anyone know where to find CE’s in delegation or delegating for RN’s. I need more than 1 hour.

    Drexel FNP program

    Anyone attend or graduate from Drexel's online FNP program? I know they require 4 campus visits and some of the classes are "live". What did you think of the program?

    Frontier Nursing University

    I'd like to hear from current students and graduates of their online program. Is it doable while working full time (at least I need to work full-time for a while at first). How hard was it to get time off from work to attend Frontier Bound and then...

    Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

    It was a fundamental biology course at the school I was accepted into. Maybe if I had had time to save up for it, the enrollment fee that is. But the way things are going for me right now, perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that I a) couldn't affo...

    Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

    Student loans won't pay for the enrollment fee or the bridge course they wanted me to take

    I have to take the bridge biology course too, though have to figure out how to pay for it first.

    Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    I'll be reapplying since I couldn't get the enrollment fee in by today. That fee is not easy to come up with. Nor will the cost of that bio bridge course

    I haven't heard anything back yet.

    Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    I can't get a private student loan. So it looks like if I want to go to Simmons I'll have to reapply at a later date when I have the fees saved up.

    Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    Between the enrollment fee and the cost of the bridge course. I don't have anyone to get the money from. The payment plan for the bridge course isn't feasible for me. I talked to financial aid, that's where I found out that the bio bridge course wou...

    Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    My admission rep is the one who told me that the enrollment fee for the September cohort is due June 2nd. I can defer to the Jan or March cohort, but he said the enrollment fee is still due June 2nd. So looks like I won't be attending anytime soon, e...

    Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    Well, unfortunately it looks like I won't be attending after all. I can't pay the enrollment fee by June 2nd so I will have to reapply. Also, I can't afford the bridge course out of pocket even when I am able to save up the enrollment fee. I am so ...

    Simmons College FNP September 2014

    I still have to come up with that too on top of this new revelation, which is why I have a decision to make

    Simmons College FNP September 2014

    I can ask, but I doubt it since it's a conditional admission. I don't need an actual main biology class. I think this is a test class they want certain people to take
