  1. Can employer look up where you've worked before?

    SweettartRN replied to dann023's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    When it comes to you and your career, always look out for #1. This "being loyal" and "playing adult" nonsense is just that- when if the tables were turned you would be walked out and escorted to your...

  2. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    SweettartRN replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I wish the lie of the DNP requirement would cease. This panic of being done with NP school by 2015 in order to avoid a change, is simply an unnecessary panic of something that, so far, isn't...

  3. Curriculum WGU BSN-MSN

    SweettartRN replied to TxNurseRN's topic in Western Governors University

    There are no syllabuses per se for the course work. There are grading scales, rubrics, and tasks to

  4. WGU MSN in 6 months

    SweettartRN replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes the MSN program CAN be completed in 6 months. You have to know your Capstone idea in advance, and be ready to hit the ground running from the first

  5. What is your average visit time?

    SweettartRN replied to MomRN0913's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    We are expected to do 5-6 visits per day and our caseloads are also about 16-22. Visits last approximately 45 mins to 1

  6. BSN-MSN info??

    SweettartRN replied to dukesgal's topic in Western Governors University

    The program was supposed to change, and didn't. My mentor lied about this repeatedly and I never did get a straight answer from her. Even when I recorded her and played the info back to her. Then...

  7. BSN-MSN info??

    SweettartRN replied to dukesgal's topic in Western Governors University

    I personally can not and will not recommend WGU for the MSN, only based on my own personal experience. The BSN was fantastic, and I would do it again. MSN? No way in

  8. Your opinion of the DNP

    SweettartRN replied to kayceeACNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think they are jumping the shark with the DNP requirements. They are going to find that once this new healthcare law takes effect and doctors are leaving private practices the need for Advanced...

  9. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    SweettartRN replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Pure ignorance on the part of the refuser. I personally don't go to a male doctor because I feel a female one understands female people and issues better, but I don't refuse to see one if she's not...

  10. Walden University has new FNP and AGNP Programs

    SweettartRN replied to kenyohunt1's topic in School, College Programs

  11. Almost done with my RN-BSN from WGU!!

    SweettartRN replied to cayenne06's topic in Western Governors University

    I don't think you can do your practicum on anywhere but the area you are currently in as you have to put in clinical hours. You may want to doublecheck this with your

  12. If your Facebook status could be ANYTHING, what would it be?

    SweettartRN replied to lyrabella's topic in Emergency

    Don't tell me that you have a level 10/10 pain when you are chatting on your cell phone and eating Fritos and drinking a large Super Gulp. *rolling my

  13. Received my invite to graduation from WGU

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Western Governors University

    That's right, I am done! I passed my last class this last week, which means I completed my BSN in 3 months and 7 days, or 3 months exactly if you count the time I didn't have access to Taskstream....

  14. Received my invite to graduation from WGU

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    For those starting soon, don't listen to your mentor drag you down- mine didn't believe me at first as to how motivated I was, and we fought tooth and nail. Go at your pace, and then show them- don't...

  15. Received my invite to graduation from WGU

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Just the year of graduation. Employers are going to need to be more open minded though as technology advances and school can be completed in a more useful way and resource of

    SweettartRN replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Western Governors University

    My birthday is on the 19th, and I was looking at it more as an early birthday present to myself!

  21. Have CNAs bullied nurses (RNs/LPNs)?

    SweettartRN replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. I would never tolerate being "bullied' by someone beneath me, let alone being bullied by someone in general. I'm grateful I was taught to have a spine, and not put up with people trying to get...

  22. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    SweettartRN replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Never get the flu, and I never get a flu shot. My body, my choice, period. I will gladly lose my job and nursing license before I ever tell someone what they can and can't do to my body. In fact,...

  24. How to start the new job????

    SweettartRN replied to lifein08's topic in General Nursing

    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. And treat people the way that you want to be treated. Some people often forget this and it really goes a long

  25. senior practicum - not what I expected

    SweettartRN replied to dayandnight's topic in General Nursing

    In your career, you will often times be faced with things that you really don't want to do. I say take this, and use it as a great learning experience and embrace what you have been given. It may...
