   Got a call saying I was 3rd on the wait list for the FNP program a few days ago... The wait goes on.

   Yes. That is why it made me so anxious. I heard from the school yesterday that they will be sending out "decisions" over the next week. No idea if more people may still get acceptances or not.

   I just heard on Monday from a coworker that she got an e-mail of acceptance. Applied to the FNP program and haven't heard anything yet. Says Under Review for status still. On the edge of my seat now...

   There are two things I wish I would have started doing immediately after I graduated. First, I wish I would have started going to the nurse managers where I wanted to work and handing them my resume directly. This seems to produce interest in a way ...

   I'm going to have some down time to study after graduating and unfortunately left my copy on bart. Hopefully it is keeping the cell phone that I left on bart company. If you want to sell me your TNCC manual I would like to buy it. Thanks, Pete

10. TNCC and other certs. Which are worthwhile?

    tolachi replied to tolachi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm almost out of nursing school and looking at trying to make myself as atractive as possible for a job in the ED. I learned about TNCC and was looking into it, but found that none of the nurses at the ED where I am preceptoring have it. Apparentl...
