  1. NP programs for non-nursing BS or BS holders

    Clarence Nightingale replied to capybaralife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The few that I'm familiar with require the ADN students to go through alot of the nursing programs with the students who come in without any nursing experience. But they are fast-tracked routes to...

  2. Worst Day of My Life Turned Out Good!!!

    Clarence Nightingale posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, I took my NCLEX on Wed. After the first few questions it felt like the nightmare where you go to take a test that you have never even seen the material for. It was asking about meds I'd never...

  3. NP programs for non-nursing BS or BS holders

    Clarence Nightingale replied to capybaralife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think in the case of NP's it's the same as any other type of training. People are going to get out of it what they put into it. Interestingly I did read a study in which a group of 1000 doctors...

  4. Worst Day of My Life Turned Out Good!!!

    Clarence Nightingale replied to Clarence Nightingale's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe she ever did smile. Maybe when she was soothing a soldier or rubbing their feet to make them feel better. Seems kind of un-therapeutic to be so formal, but then again that was a...

  5. It's the Final Countdown.....

    Clarence Nightingale posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, I take the NCLEX-RN on Wed. I'm nervous as can be, having heard all the horror stories about it and what not. I did do the Kaplan Review course, have been practicing 100-150 questions a night....

  6. A litte nervous, just like everyone else.....

    Clarence Nightingale posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I take the NCLEX on Sept. 26th. I'm nervous, just like everyone else. I have a couple of questions for everyone. 1. Did your program have you take the HESI assessment? If so, how did you do...

    Well, it's rigorous for sure. They are putting us through the paces but I'm loving every minute of it. You've heard of the program before

  9. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Clarence Nightingale replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are several programs in the area that put out MSN advanced practice nurses. It's tough getting a job here when you graduate. The other problem is there is Vanderbilt's Med School so they have...

  11. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Clarence Nightingale replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did not mean to sound as if I was downing ADN programs. It's just been that the majority of nurses who have had derogatory things to say about our Bridge-MSN program were ADN prepared nurses....

  12. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    Clarence Nightingale replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you neuronightnurse for bringing up a point I wanted to share. We're talking about NP's coming out with no experience, but look at resident physicians and even new grad PA's. All of them come...

  13. Accepted to both RN & masters in Nursing...what to choose??? HELP!

    Clarence Nightingale replied to surfergirl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I had a similar choice and chose the MSN program. I haven't regretted it yet. I'm in the middle of the program but it's awesome. Accelerated pace but as an MSN you get to do so much more than an...

    Hi all, I'm one of the older guys too. I'm 32 and I'm in an MSN "bridge" program at Vanderbilt University. I spent 5 years in the Army as a combat medic. I've always known I wanted to go into...
