Here is a list of 160 RN-MSN programs (broken down by state) from the AACN website.
FNP-Psych NP

UVA Grad Nursing replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Post Graduate Students

Some of the common, core classes from the MSN would likely apply (theory, research, pharm, assessment, patho). The two programs would have different clinical/content classes. You would also need to...
Decided to pursue Nursing.... help?

UVA Grad Nursing replied to skysthelimit05's topic in Nursing Career

I would recommend taking the classes at a community college after you finish your BA/BS degree. For one, this will likely save you thousands of dollars in tuition (which you can use these savings for...
Best way to a Bachelor's

UVA Grad Nursing replied to krenee's topic in Virginia Nursing

Since your hospital does not provide much tuition support, I definitely recommend looking at a state school (where tuition will be less for you). VCU, GMU, ODU and UVa all have RN-BSN programs that...
Will i have the same chances of being hired if i get a ADN?

UVA Grad Nursing replied to RedXIII_'s topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

If you are thinking of working at a Magnet facility (or a hospital that is a Magnet aspirant), then the degree earned makes a difference. In my state, most of the Magnet hospitals prefer hiring...

UVA Grad Nursing replied to vag4789's topic in Post Graduate Students

UVA Grad Nursing replied to frustratedprenurse's topic in New York Nursing

HELP! torn

UVA Grad Nursing replied to jenline89's topic in General Students

Take a look at your student handbook or academic requirements catalogue. See what the policy is for unexcused absences (absences that are not health-related). In the BSN program at my University,...
Best BSN/MSN Program in the Country?

UVA Grad Nursing replied to FatLeprechaun's topic in Post Graduate Students

The US News rankings that come out every 3 years are for graduate programs only. This combines Master's specialties as well as research programs. There are no rankings of BSN programs that I am...
Am I Doing To Much

UVA Grad Nursing replied to Mr I Care's topic in Nursing Career

Let me throw another idea into the mix... I agree a lot with what llg says (as I usually do in her other sage posts). However, given the tight job market for new graduates, I would encourage you to...
Common Interview Questions asked by Interviewer/DON ( Here are some )

UVA Grad Nursing replied to Prado's topic in First Year After Licensure

Added to the Dress for success, I would add to remove excess piercings (nose, tongue, lip, brow, cheek, more than 2 in ear), and cover up tattoos. You want to be remembered for your words, your...
Online RN program

UVA Grad Nursing replied to alanas09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

Admissions to CRNA programs is very competitive. One here in Virginia receives about 1000 applications/year for 30 spaces. You'll also need to work as a RN in an ICU for at least 1 year before...
How to ask for a pay raise???

UVA Grad Nursing replied to Kspice's topic in First Year After Licensure

I concur fully with all of the above positions. As a new grad, you are not in the position to negotiate. There are dozens (or hundreds) of others who will gladly take your job at the salary...

UVA Grad Nursing replied to PurrRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

Nurselele: The CCNE accreditation website allow you to search by state, or by program. Select 'all states' and 'DNP' and you will see the list.
Decisions! Decisions!

UVA Grad Nursing replied to ans2680's topic in Post Graduate Students

Does your university offer any classes in education? Look outside of the nursing department if need be. For example, at my University we have a class on nursing education, but also a graduate school...
Dispel a rumor OR validate a truth...

UVA Grad Nursing replied to gapelaez's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

Merrywidow: The UVa faculty just approved (last Monday) a RN-MSN program for our Clinical Nurse Leader track for RNs with a BA/BS in another subject. I am working with the faculty coordinators on...
UVA BSN program

UVA Grad Nursing replied to al_e135's topic in Virginia Nursing

Actually for the past two years, the acceptance rate for the First Year class in the BSN program was lower than for the College of Arts and Sciences at UVa. We received approximately 500...
? about DNP accreditation

UVA Grad Nursing replied to PurrRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

It will take a bit of time for all the programs to be accredited. CCNE did their first site visits in Fall 2008 (4 of them). They visited 16 more programs in Spring 2009 (and accredited 14 of...
full time msn and full time job

UVA Grad Nursing replied to jollygirl098's topic in Post Graduate Students

I have had a small handful of students who have been full-time students and full-time workers. All were unmarried, no children, no nearby family and no social life. All they did for two years was...
GRE vs. MAT

UVA Grad Nursing replied to KateBSNRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

I've taken both (the GRE more than once since I had more than 5 years between my Masters and PhD). I did very well on both. In my opinion, the MAT draws upon how much and what you read. There were...

UVA Grad Nursing replied to JMP2004's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

My University opened its accelerated BSN program for those who had already completed BS/BA degrees in other subjects in 1988. Now we offer a Direct Entry MSN program for those with non-nursing...

UVA Grad Nursing replied to NURSESTAR's topic in Virginia Nursing

Ph.D in nursing help

UVA Grad Nursing replied to runrun's topic in Post Graduate Students

PhD programs are grounded in research. Do you have an idea of what you want to research now? If not, I would recommend waiting until you know what you want to examine and have an idea of the...
Accelerated BSN programs

UVA Grad Nursing replied to Christy72's topic in General Students
