    Any 22 weekers out there?

    TiffyRN replied to mauigal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Back on the initial topic. The unit where I work has been attempting resuscitation on 22 weekers in certain circumstances (good PNC, steroids, singleton, etc. . . ) for just a few years. To my...

    What's the least saturated specialty in APRN?

    TiffyRN replied to soljhs's topic in Advanced Practice

    LOL, but not really. . . (says the NICU nurse who always rearranges her linen and supply drawers as soon as essential cares are completed). I'm not even the most OCD personality in my NICU. Totally...

    Best PMHNP programs?

    TiffyRN replied to lotus73's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry I can't research this more thoroughly. My husband was looking for a PMHNP program about a year ago and I think University of Pennsylvania is the one he talked about as one that was only...

    Nurse Practitioner GPA Requirements

    TiffyRN replied to Sarah Ihnat's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In general, most programs want a 3.0 or higher for acceptance to NP programs. I've seen some PhD or DNP programs that want 3.5 or higher. Many programs will consider applicants with GPA below 3.0 if...

    Online PMHNP MSN to DNP cert/program

    TiffyRN replied to marigoldey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I’m still not sure I understand what you’re asking. You have an MSN with PMHNP specialization correct? All you want to do is advance your degree to DNP, and not add another specialty , correct?...

    Online PMHNP MSN to DNP cert/program

    TiffyRN replied to marigoldey's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My understanding of the MSN to DNP program is that they are not usually focused on one NP specialty. The university where I recently completed my degree (UTMB Galveston) has one of these programs and...

    Geisinger Pseudomonas Outbreak

    TiffyRN replied to Jolie's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Re: Dr. Brown's bottles. When we first started using them I went to feed an infant and thought "wow, this must be a really old one because the clear plastic nipple is cloudy". So it was just milk fat...

    Changes to nursing theory course/exam delivery

    TiffyRN replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior College

    So I take it this was the complete demise of the old-style "test out" format Regents/Excelsior was known for over the years. In a way, not unexpected. I know they are really struggling overall. I find...

    Failed employment drug test - CBD oil

    TiffyRN replied to AKS's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, sorry for this unfortunate experience. I know in my State they have recently decided to cite and release any charged with low level MJ possession since the state recently legalized hemp and...

    TiffyRN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I've just completed my dissertation and am applying for faculty positions. . I've always been told I'm in a PhD program in nursing. The only detail being that since I came in with a BSN, I was...

    Lpn to Rn online school

    TiffyRN replied to thatgirl37's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I may be wrong but I think the only places offering online LPN/VN to RN are Excelsior and Indiana State University (and I'm not sure on that one). I'm a fan of Excelsior but a lot of states have a...

    Easiest/quickest online MSN-DNP program

    TiffyRN replied to ClayH's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I guess the exception makes the rule. I truly felt my RN to BSN was the most influential educational and professional journey I ever experienced. Well, until I completed this latest "journey" which...

    PhD Nursing... thinking about it

    TiffyRN replied to raecudzy1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    My chair contends that a PhD is above everything else a degree in persistence. The last couple of years are a real exercise in patience as you feel you are so so close for so long and then all of a...

    Online Certification Courses

    TiffyRN replied to Hematocrit13's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm still unsure what you are asking about. Is it to become a certified nurse for example Certified neonatal or oncology nurse? Or do you mean certifications like PALS or ACLS? My previous experience...

    Pizza Power! Is Purdue University Global A Good Choice?

    TiffyRN replied to Goodjuju88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    First of all, I don't know the answer to your question. What I do know is that most people I know who work in Nursing Informatics have an MSN in informatics and none of them had previous college work...

    Question about increasing chances of admission into an FNP program?

    TiffyRN replied to nurse528's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm personally not a huge fan of Walden. WGU has a great reputation though they famously only grade pass/fail that is usually counted as a 3.0 for graduate admissions. If your GPA is already...

    Why are FNP paid less than Psychiatric NP?

    TiffyRN replied to The0Walrus's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm going to have to go with market forces. Market forces affect several aspects. One thing is that (it seems) that about 80% of new RN (or at least BSN) grads are already picking out their FNP...

    TiffyRN replied to wolac992's topic in General Nursing

    Disheartened by friends' reaction about Residency

    TiffyRN replied to PJishere's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not sure how to contact a guide or moderator for this forum but your question is going to get better targeted responses elsewhere. Though this forum is called "post graduate" it is referring to...

    I really don't know this but my suggestion would be to look at the affiliations of the researchers publishing studies that interest you. Then find out if they are faculty at their affiliated...

    Defense date set

    TiffyRN replied to TiffyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thank you!! It is a huge relief. Of course, the paperwork is still processing and I'm not sure they will actually confer the degree for a few more weeks though I do have a letter from the Dean stating...

    TiffyRN replied to lyndsay1985's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    TiffyRN replied to SDANG's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, here's a more comprehensive search of for a lawsuit (anywhere) about a patient believing they were being called a cow rather than referring to the computer on wheels. First of all, though I'm not...

    TiffyRN replied to SDANG's topic in General Nursing
