  1. NP without nursing major?

    stellasaurus replied to ellyhong's topic in General Nursing

    To be a practicing ANP, you must first be a licensed RN. Everywhere. Period. You can go for a direct-entry program (as I am) but you will be taking all of the classes a BSN takes AND doing all of the...

  2. Direct Entry Masters Programs

    stellasaurus replied to ElizabethNJ18's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Elizabeth, I struggled with this same question last year. (I have a bachelor's--worked in the professional world for about 10 years--and figured out I wanted to be a nurse.) I decided to go with...

  3. opinions on seattle hospitals

    stellasaurus replied to twantland's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm just about to start nursing school--so I can't give you the true inside scoop. However, I have worked in (non-nursing) or been in each of the hospitals you mention. Here are my thoughts: 1....

    stellasaurus replied to stellasaurus's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Well, I wasn't even contacted for an interview... so unless there's some kind of B-list or holiday moratorium on interviews--it looks grim for me. I also applied to OHSU, PLU, and UW (and I have an...

    stellasaurus replied to stellasaurus's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Congratulations on your acceptance! Do you have to pay a deposit by a certain date? That was a concern of mine since I applied a couple of different places. But I live in Seattle so I'm surprised I...

  8. Anyone applying to 2008 UW MEPN Program?

    stellasaurus replied to stellasaurus's topic in Washington Nursing

    Thanks for all of the great info! I applied for the CNS track--I'm all about education and care management. (Sometimes I wonder if that sounds lame to the NP folks--who I am in awe of, by the way.)...

    Fibergirl, That is incredible that they contacted your reference! Have you received a letter inviting you to an interview? I'm still waiting... patiently.... another program that I applied to is...

    stellasaurus replied to kcalohagirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I can tell you this kind of "cattiness" happens in every profession! Try hard not to let this CN get to you--even if you have to force yourself to not obsess (I know, it's...
