    DidiRN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ohio University

    DidiRN replied to lynn5707's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm very interested in this as well. I've done LTC but it's been many years. As an RN though; I'm not an NP yet. Do you go to the nursing home every day? Or do you travel to different ones? Are most...

    DidiRN replied to EmJeanRN's topic in Ohio University

    I wonder if you had the same TA that I had last session with Community. Her grading was so idiotic that I ended up with a B+ and I didn't deserve that at all. Still fuming over that. I hope you have...

    DidiRN replied to EmJeanRN's topic in Ohio University

    That's always a good sign, isn't it? Lol. I did read an announcement today about "watching our tone" when sending the TA an email. Sounded like she must have received some rude emails from students....

  20. Credibility of Walden University

    DidiRN replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree. I'm trying to understand these "skills" they are lacking. If it's passing a class, not sure I would condemn the program yet from only two
