aka640 BSN, RN

Thank you for this! Yea, after doing more research, I feel like I want to go to UCONN too. Hopefully within the next 3 years I'll be starting ?

Can anyone please give me some recommendations for good and affordable MSN/DNP programs. I would love to go to an in class program, but unfortunately I'm in Connecticut and want to do AGACNP. The only programs that have that are UCONN and Yale, they ...

Anyone here in the UCONN MSN or DNP progam? Is it partially online now? Read on the website two months out of the whole program you have to be on site, but for how long? Also would like students opinion on the quality of the program and how the appli...

Thank you everyone for your reply ❤️❤️

Hello everyone, People who work as cardiology NPs, would you recommend to a nurse who wants to specialize in cardiology as an NP, but not work in ICU, to go for their FNP or AGACNP? I currently work as a nurse on an interventional cardiology flo...

oook, thanks though for all your replies ?

How intense would you say is an AGACNP program? I'm expecting it to be rough, but how many hours did you have to go to class as well as study?

Thanks again!! Your reply helped so much. I was worried these type of NP jobs aren't commmon because anytime I here about AGACNPs, it's always ICU. Mind you, I want to work in the CCU as a nurse but for the long term, when I finally (hopefully) becom...

WOW! That completely sounds like the type of job I want as an NP. Like literally my dream ?? Is there a reason you don’t want to do full time if I may ask?? Thanks for your reply! ☺️

Thank you!! That makes sense. The NP I shadowed for is an AGACNP who works exclusively in cardiology (inpatient), but took care of patients across multiple units, except ICU. She was with heart transplant, my interventional cardiology floor, and cath...

Thank you so much for the reply!! Are these type of NP jobs widely available, if u know? NPs who work with acutely ill but not necessarily ICU patients.

Hello lovely people, Anyone here been accepted or is in the UCONN or Yale AGANCP programs? I'm thinking about applying within the next 2-3 years and want to receive any tips on how to make my application stand out. I currently am about to gradua...

If I may ask, what jobs are offered for cardiac nursing outside of bedside? Would love to know, thx!!

I make $14.40 an hour base pay at a hospital on the MICU floor with 1.5 years experience. Shift differentials are 2.15 for evenings, 3.10 for nights, and 2.50 for weekends. I live in southwestern Connecticut.

Thanks. I understand all nursing programs are hard to get into. I'm just wondering since I failed out, I wonder if it would be even harder for me. Maybe I already know the answer to that question...Well we will see. I will look into Norwalk and St. V...

yeah most of my sciences courses are a B except for Micro which is a C.

Hey guys!! My name is Afua. So I have a really long story but my hope is to get into the BHSN program in Fall of 2016. So my situation is I was in a nursing program, West Penn Hospital School of Nursing and was about to graduate in ten weeks but I di...

Disclaimer: I know all nurses are not like that!! I started working at an LTC facility a month ago and it's a very rough job. Just even being here for a month, the turnover rate is ridiculous and so many CNAs are quitting. One thing I noticed though ...

So you guys are telling me that a nurse who is just sitting at the nurses station doing nothing should call other cnas to answer a call bell that is right in front them when the cnas are mid bath or mid feeding a patient? Even if they just need a bed...

Hey!! I'm starting The Western Pennsylvania Hospital SON this August and would be finished with all my Fundamentals/Foundations of Nursing by summer 2013 (Graduating Summer 2014). I live in Connecticut though. I want to be able to do an externsh...

Thank you so much for this post!! I'm really inspired by it and looking even more forward to starting nursing school Moving in two days and orientation starts Tuesday

Hey!! I'm starting my two year nursing program this August and would be finished with all my Fundamentals/Foundations of Nursing by summer 2013 (Graduating Summer 2014). I want to be able to do an externship/internship in the summer of 2013 in Tenne...

The problem is I'm actually going to nursing school in Pennsylvania lol. I'll be moving down to TN when I finish school and was hoping to get some internship experience at least in the summer down there.

I was wondering, if you do a completion program for rn-bsn online, do employers look at this negatively and prefer you to get your BSN in the classroom? I want to get my rn-bsn after my diploma program, but not sure if doing it online will harm me. I...

I'm graduating from a diploma program and then attending an rn-bsn program. Sorry if I confused you but the rn-bsn program is not the diploma program. Ty for the reply though and also to meriwhen :)
