Hello, I'm looking into graduate programs and am having some diffficulty understanding the Clinical Nurse Leader Masters Program. In IL are CNL APN? Are CNL the same as CNS? I also read that APN options will be phased out in coming years and ...

I Passed!!!!!!

I just found out that I PASSED!!!

Oh wow, sorry I didn't see the date.

Advocate Christ Hospital-in Oak Lawn-pay starts at 26.50. I'm surprised that Rush doesn't pay their new grads more!

Did anyone apply to the School Nurse Practitioner program at UIC? In what ways do you feel that you enhanced your Graduate application to UIC? I recently graduated in December, and am applyind to UIC and other grad schools this spring for the Fall ...

I just took my exam yesterday and it turned off on the 78th question. It was my second time taking the exam, and I believe I was actually more nervous than the first time. This is absolute torture, I was an excellent student as an Undergrad and I j...

I just took the NCLEX for the 2nd time, yesterday. I'm more nervous than I was the first time. Last time I had 265 questions, and this time I only had 78. Not sure if it's a good or a BAD thing!! I'm really stressed, I'll find out tomorrow, if I ...

I failed NCLEX my first time, reviewing only for 2 weeks before with the NCBSN online course. I just took the exam again yesterday, and reviewed with an online Kaplan course. It helped me a lot and made me feel more confident on how to approach the...

Congrats!!! I find out tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. if I passed or not. It's my second time taking it and I have no idea how I did???

Hello, What type of advanced degree did you pursue that complimented/applied to your current title as a School Nurse? MSN, MEd, FNP(if so what specialty), CNL (if so what specialty)? Did it result in higher pay? Are School Nurses on Teacher's...

Yes, in IL it is 4 courses-which can be done 100% online in a semester-and also an internship. As I mentioned before, I'm applying to UIC School Nurse Certificate program. I'm just feeling discouraged because of all the negative feedback I read abo...

hello, i'm curious what are your hours and schedules like? also as a np can you teach nursing? thanks for all your input, i am really interested in learning more about my options as a nurse, and what type of advanced roles there are.

That's exactly what I would want as a schedule, having summers and holidays off would be great. So holding only a Masters you can't be on a tenured track in most Universities? I didn't know that. I'm contemplating getting a PhD. in Nursing since m...

I'd like to know the answer to your question as well. I applied for a CNL Masters program but am contemplating switching over to a NP track. I'd like to know a little bit more about work schedules, opportunities, and salaries?

I applied for the fall semester so I think I can still switch majors to the Nurse Practitioner track since the Clinical Specialist degree is not offered anymore. I don't see myself retiring as a bedside nurse, so I don't think the CNL is the best opt...

Also is it unheard of for a School Nurse to have an MSN-NP?

Well the University I'll be attending is among the first in the nation to offer this new program of study: CNL. Will I be at a drawback being a CNL and trying to find positions outside of the hospital, such as at Universities as faculty or private ...

:nurse:Why are nurses lumped into the same category as custodial care? Is this everywhere or just in some districts? Aren't certified School Nurses seen as liscensed personnel just like social workers, school psychologists, speech pathologist, and ...

after receiving a msn-cnl isn't there many post-masters certificate options offered such as np and nurse educator certificates?

Do some districts allow nurses to be on Teacher's Salary? What about their union?
