Hi everyone, I am a nursing student in a Direct Entry Master's program that awards a degree as a clinical nurse leader. One of the requirements of our program is to do an internship of 400 hours in a specialty area of our choice (we get to chose our...

Thank you!!!

What is an RPN? Is that the same as an LPN?

Thank you for your input linRdsNay.

The CNL portion is built into my program. The reason why I chose the master's program was because I already had a degree in psychology and really wasn't interested in getting another bachelor's degree. Being in a CNL program however has changed my ...

Thanks for your input babyRN. I'm pretty sure I would like to end up in the NICU. After I get my license I want to work in the NICU for about 5-10 years and then I would like to maybe eventually get my NNP. I've always wanted to do this every sinc...

Thanks rn/writer! Doing pediatrics especially on a med/surg floor was my second choice. I'm strongly considering doing it.

Thank you NeoNurseTX :)

I am currently in an accelerated program. I would say brush up on your A&P, get the booklist in advance if at all possible and start the reading assignments before the first day of class. It's my 3rd week and I have a paper and 3 exams next wee...

Hi want2bearn, I'm about to embark on taking a small fortune to go to nursing school. I will be going to an out of state second degree clinical nurse leader MSN program. Before anyone else says anything, I applied from ADN, BSN, and second degree BS...

Trying sitting in the front of class so you get the most out of the class. I just finished taking micro last semester and will be starting nursing school next Tuesday. I agree with the comment to go to ratemyprofessor.com to get an idea of how your...

My prayers go out to her family.

Hi, While I wanna be an NP eventually, at this point I would like to just start my nursing education. I have waited so long to get into nursing school, I've always said that if I got in that I would see how live was with the degree I obtained. I kn...

I personally selected the two year track and it's not on webcat. Have you finished all your prerequisites yet? I'm still taking Microbiology and boy let me tell you it was hard concentrating on studying since I was figuring out how I'm going to pay...

Thank you MissBrittanyRN. I did look into Georgetown, but was not accepted. I will however take a look at the website you provided. Thanks again.

Thank you mfrancisco. I actually JUST found out I got into the school of my choice so I have not gotten my financial aid letter since I just found out that I got into school online. I did fill out my FAFSA since I knew I would be going to school in...

I never said that a associate's or a bachelor's degree was beneath me. I actually applied to both associate's and bachelor's programs. I also know of people who have their CNL and do have jobs, not as a CNL, but as staff nurses. I do not see a pro...

Here is a brief explanation of a CNL. http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Media/FactSheets/CNLFactSheet.htm

I'd like to make two things clear. One when I mentioned ADN, I specifically meant I did not want to pursue an associate's degree...My ultimate goal is to be a nurse practitioner and this program is one way of getting towards that goal. I do underst...

Hi there, After a 3 year journey, I was finally accepted into a Second Degree Master's CNL program! I'm excited, but I am concerned on how I'm going to pay for school. I've looked at other posts on the board, but I wanted a fresh perspective on how...

Check the website again. I have received my decision.

Congratulations :cheers::balloons:

Hi, I am taking prerequisites to go to nursing school and I was wondering if nurses feel they are adequately compensated for the job they do. Some of the reasons I was drawn to nursing was for the nature of the job, the tasks involved in being a n...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if their school has a neonatal nurse practitioner specialty? I am interested in becoming an NNP, but I would also like to enroll in an direct entry program as well. I wanted to know what schools offer this ...

Is this true for all programs, including direct entry programs?
