I am having a really hard time deciding which school to attend for my NP. I have been accepted to Vanderbilt, University of MN and University of KY. My plan had been to go to Vandy for my MSN so that I could practice as an NP sooner, but when I got...

I am sorry if this has been posted 100 times. I am due to take NCLEX Friday afternoon, so I need to make a decision by tomorrow morning whether to reschedule. I have taken HURST in January and in May, but honestly feel like I haven't retained much ...

Thanks, Everyone. I decided to reschedule for June 6. There were very few days left in June (2 others) and my contract with the hospital says it has to be done by the 28th. That left only the 6th as I work the other two days. It doesn't give me m...

I'm sorry I didn't get this sooner - was busy graduating from BSN :) I got my financial aid letter yesterday. I'll tell you, the amount of loans I will have to take out really scares me! Did you get yours?

When I talked to the Financial Aid Director she said they had hoped that the letters would go out the end of this week - so hopefully soon!

Got my acceptance letter today for ANP/WHNP!!!!! So excited!! I ask the same question about going to Vanderbilt over another school that is much cheaper. I love Vanderbilt - the only thing that would keep me from going is cost. I would love to hea...

The only reason I know Cheryl's name is that we spent so much time emailing back and forth with all my questions as I submitted my app :) And she gave us a tour when we came down to see the campus. I sure hope they aren't on spring break with the s...

Thanks, FlowRider! I'll call. I had emailed the day before my friend had received her letter and admissions said that letters would hopefully go out the first of March, but couldn't tell me if I had been accepted yet. I will try to call tomorrow. ...

Congratulations, SydneyJo1!! I bet you're excited! I applied for the Direct Entry (graduate with BSN in May) and I am watching the mail like a hawk. A classmate of mine found out over a week ago that she got into the Women's Health (part time), so ...

I'm still waiting to hear from Vanderbilt....trying to be patient LOL I applied for the Adult/Women's Health program. Congratulations!!!!

Hello, I am about to graduate with my BSN and applying to grad schools. I am trying to decide between a couple of specialities for my NP. I think that the best way I can help make this decision is to try and shadow a nurse practitioner in these are...

I love my Dansko's for my back, but my heel spurs hurt worse with them - even with an insert. Is there some trick I'm missing? :)

I have a pair of Vibrams and love them for feeling like I'm barefoot, but I bought them after reading quite a bit about them helping plantar faciitis. I found that my heel spurs hurt worse as I wore these - no cushion at all. I wore them almost 6 mo...

It has been a long time since I have posted here, but read as much as I can around school, family and work. I have a question regarding a research project I am planning to do this semester. I would like to do a study on nursing students who are co...

I am 43 and will start my Junior year of Nursing School in the fall. I am by far the oldest in my class, but it has been one of the best experiences I could have had. The students in my class have become good friends - no matter what the age - and ...

I know exams have been talked about quite a bit on allnurses, but I am asking for some help in the best way to study for exams. I am nearing the end of my first semester of nursing school. This has been a really hard semester for me. I have been in...

I didn't see this before I answered the other post. It might be worth telling her that you have been accepted to nursing school at UK and this is how you will be able to go. I don't know - anything is worth a try LOL And I think you having your LP...

Zoobyli, I thought you got a job in Louisville? I'm sorry to hear you are still looking! That just seems crazy with the need for nurses. I hope you get to come to UK in the spring. Did you talk to the nurse recruiter at UK or just go through HR? ...

I am a 42 year old mom who is in the first semester of nursing school (graduation -spring 2011) and would really like to find someone closer to my age to get together with that understands the rigors of nursing school. I am by far the oldest in my c...

I am at UK - first semester sophomore as an adult student. It is turning out to be quite an interesting experience!

I would start by talking to the Nurse Recruitment office at UK. The manager there is Shayne Stratton and she is very knowledgeable and good to work with. You can go to this site to get her contact information. I am an adult student in the BSN prog...

Our program is different than most I read about. We spend the first semester studying health promotion with the idea that we have to know what health is first before learning what sick is. Because of the way classes go, many of us are unsure of our...

CONGRATULATIONS!! I was wondering what happened with everything, but haven't been on the board with transitioning out of my job and into school. I'm so happy for you!! Sarah

I hope that UK has a better program than what you were led to believe as I am starting it on Tuesday! Because I want to go further than an RN, I need to get my BSN and since we live in Nicholasville and I work at UK (although dropping my hours and s...

Have you heard anything yet?
