newbiepnp MSN, RN, NP, CNS

I'm about to start my 2 year MSN program and need to continue working. I need to get an idea of how many hours it is reasonable to commit to at work, especially once clinical hours start. My orientation isn't until late July but I need to know in the...

Not sure how I missed there was an FB group already set up. Signing up now. :) Anyone else sign up for the research class for the summer session?

I checked the status on the grad application page when you log back into the UCLA site.

I couldn't stand the wait and went online to find that I, too, have been accepted! Can't wait to meet everyone! Anyone know when the assessment class will start and how long it lasts?

For the ones that got accepted, are you all FNP? ...and Congratulations!!!! Anyone get notice regarding PNP?

1 month to go.

I went back to school to begin my prereqs at age 38 after working for 10 years at the same company. Here I am now 2 1/2 years at my nursing job and loving it, and applying for my MSN. Only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Good luck!

So I pulled a B in that hell of a class I was taking. LOL Now back to UCLA drama, I was told that two of my transcripts are missing and that the deadline is Jan 15. However, when I followed up with them early this week, I was told that they would le...

They are only giving you 10 weeks as a new grad/PICU nurse with a preceptor? Are they going to give you additional Critical Care classes, as well?

I only applied to UCLA. If I don't get accepted to their PNP program, the only other SoCal program I think is CSULB. I live in Los Angeles, and actually got my first Bachelor's at Long Beach, but not sure I'd be willing to drive two or three times a...

If I don't pass this Physio class, I'll be taking it AGAIN over the winter. This is how bad it is. I can't believe I got an A last time, and now I'm hoping to even pass the class. Did anyone else attend the info sessions?

I'm at the end of my retake of Physio, and I am not enjoying it one bit. Amazing the difference a professor makes. Definitely learned that working full time on night shift and taking Physio with a crazy lady is not a good mix. I'm planning on going ...

I just hit the pay button. I had a little trouble with it allowing me to bypass the diversity portion, since I'm not applying for that. MC told me to upload a blank document and it worked. Now the waiting begins. I applied to the MSN/PNP program.

I recently signed up for the PCNB exam for early December 2014. I went ahead and paid the extra money for the study guide online, but I was wondering if there are any other useful materials that I should look into to help me study. I've been a pediat...

Oh I think you passed the PNP boards. I'm not quite ready for that. I'm first applying this November for my masters program. I'm talking about the PCNB cert exam.

congratulations on passing the exam. I'm so jealous. What was the name of the book you found so useful from your unit?

I am a new grad and my first job I've been offered is as a PHN for the county. I am worried that after several years I will end up in a desk job. This is not the reason I went into nursing and am wondering if after I start my career as a PHN, what w...

I am trying to find a BioEthics or Medical Ethics class for Mount St. Mary's College in time for their summer session. They gave a list of examples that would transfer, however when I looked up these classes at the individual schools, none of them ar...

Just wanted to open up this page to get the party rolling since the application opened up today. Only bad thing is that I hated my cover letter, but because I had submitted all 4 documents, it wouldn't let me go back in and send up a new one. Oh w...

Has anyone applied to or had an interview with LCOM for the upcoming cohort? It seems weird that I can't seem to find anything about their interview process on here except from like 2006.

Learned yesterday that there actually is a 3rd cohort beginning September 10. Anyone on here get hired into that one?

Can't wait to meet everyone in Cohort 1 tomorrow!

I am taking a medical terminology class this semester in preparation for nursing school and it was recommended that I buy a medical dictionary along with the text. The one the professor mentioned is Stedman's Medical Dictionary. Does anyone have any ...

Had my physical and my TB test, but when I needed to be back in town for my test result to be read, my plane was delayed to return from a short little trip. Ugh, now to start the process again on Monday.

I got called by HR today to schedule a physical. :) Another step closer.
