KimmbaFNP MSN, APRN, NP

Hi Stephanie, Did you ever sort this out and get your TX APRN license? I'm on month 7 waiting for TX BON to process/approve my APRN application and I've had to constantly follow-up as they keep stating they haven't received this or that, I ...

I was just accepted to the Touro Nevada DNP for a Spring 2020 start, as well as accepted to return and finish my PhD in psychology at a previous university (also a Spring start), and am really pressed to decide... I'm trying to make a well informed d...

No problem. Just to update for anyone reading this going forward...I dropped the program. We're right now in the midst of the COVID-19 & shelter in place, & where I live we've been doing this over a month now. Unprecedented things like this c...

Hi Nursey10, I have no idea how it compares to WGU, but I can tell you my experience so far (I've just started the program): This info is for 2 classes right now (you actually do 3 classes per term, but two of the classes are 1/2 term in length and ...

I had no responses, but I decided to go with Touro, so we'll see how it goes!

I know it's a long shot to seek on this board, but it's worth a try, right? Seeking an MD, DO, NP or PA preceptor in the North Bay or close in San Francisco beginning February. Must be a primary care site. My professor doesn't want me to return t...

Ok, so I've been in healthcare for 18+ years (no - I'm not an old bag, I got into the field young...) Originally I was a critical care focused Respiratory Therapist (RCP) and only recently switched over to nursing and am working on obtaining NP certi...

I think you will find that most programs do not arrange your FNP clinical sites for you. The advantage is that you're not stuck going somewhere you don't want to be and can try to establish clinicals at sites that are more of interest to you. Well ...

Heya! Wondering how many folks are using Typhon through their school to track clinical hours for their program? If so, does anyone know, does it list every time you go in and edit a record prior to it being "approved"? Or can you go in and change it ...

Hi! I'm supposed to do a complete Functional Health Pattern Assessment on my hubby, come up with 4 strengths and weaknesses (total, not each) then from that create a prioritized nursing dx and create a careplan from that. I'm good on the careplan pa...

Ok - I'm an RN AND a Registered Respiratory therapist. Here's the deal with instilling normal saline with suctioning (both ET tube and Trach - doesn't matter).... 1. A multitude of studies demonstrated that you DO NOT get all the saline back up. They...

IF you get to the point where you're so frustrated you plan to drop, do a LOA instead. That way if you get out there and don't find what you seek or regret it, you can still return w/o having to reapply and w/o any hard feelings or bad impressions. J...

I realize this is an old thread, but for anyone who may pull it up because of the University of San Francisco (USF) to Sonoma State (SSU) comparison I really want to add my two bits. I've attended BOTH schools. I would steer anyone towards Sonoma sta...

This is what I am doing and why....(all info specific to CA, other states may differ regarding licensure and scope of practice) I am getting my doctorate in psychology (PhD) but will practice under a psych NP license. 1. In California you need 3000 h...

I've heard that you can find out if you've passed by checking the license verification section on the BRN website - how soon after taking the exam are you likely to see yourself listed there if you've passed? Anyone know??? What if an outside agency ...

Does anyone know of anyone who had the NCLEX shut off at 75 and they failed??? Or does the program essentially go on and give you more questions if you're close to failing. I realize that if you 100% bomb it you could do the 75 and fail, but does tha...

Sonoma state - has a basic MSN, CNL and FNP program w/no GRE req'd

FYI - I took the exam on the 7th & didn't find out until last Friday, the 23rd. My school hadn't sent in the coversheet with my transcripts, so that was the hold up. You might want to make sure that all the little things like that were taken care...

I'm getting the impression that a lot of it depends on whether or not they have a "complete" file on you or not. I just found out my Univ. didn't send the required BRN coversheet with the transcripts, so now I'm waiting for that to happen

If you're in SF, why aren't you applying to the UCSF, USF, State or Samuel Merrit advanced entry programs? I was part of the 2007 Marquette cohort - I highly recommend it. My husband had a job transfer 10 months into the program and the dean of Marqu...

I've completed all my application stuff except for this one question which I'm really having problems with: The University of California, San Francisco is committed to a diverse and inclusive graduate student population. Diversity refers to the va...

Well I finally pulled something together and sent the whole thing off - Yay! At least I don't have to think about it anymore. Thanks!!!!

Ok, Good to know - Thanks!!!!!

How am I diverse? - I think your interpretation of the question is right. That makes more sense than the way I was reading it. Ok, now I needa sit and think for a bit what makes me different I suppose........... THANKS!!!!!!

Of course!!!!!
