1. Home Health to NP?

   UMCSN4 replied to UMCSN4's topic in Home Health

   I will be working as an RN for about 3 years while going to school part time. I don't think I was clear on that in my original post! Will working in home health as an RN help me develop my analysis,...

2. Home Health to NP?

   UMCSN4 posted a topic in Home Health

   I am in nursing school now and plan to enter NP school upon graduation. I am a single mom and was torn about where to work because the 12 hour shifts are not conducive to my situation. Someone...

   UMCSN4 replied to UMCSN4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I think you are both right. I was overlooking that option. The more I think about it, even if I could work in a clinic with ACNP, I don't really want to go that route for school. I am looking into the...

   UMCSN4 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Should I do FNP or ACNP? I have applied to an Acute Care Adult/Geri NP program, but now have doubts if this is the right tract for me. I really don't want to do the higher level procedures, but I do...

5. Being chosen as an Alternate. Is it as awful as I feel?

   UMCSN4 replied to OrthoFNP's topic in General Nursing

   I am not sure how many alternates we had. While crying over my alternate letter, I called the school to find out my rank on the list and how many, etc. No one could answer that. There will likely be...

7. Being chosen as an Alternate. Is it as awful as I feel?

   UMCSN4 replied to OrthoFNP's topic in General Nursing

   I know how you feel. I cried too! But, I made it in and so did 3 more alternates. I wish I could tell you the reasoning and how they choose the alternates, but I can't. I know that I was quite a pest...

8. Anyone applied to University of Mississippi Medical Center's Accelerated Program?

   UMCSN4 replied to OrthoFNP's topic in General Nursing

   That doesn't sound right. I was an alternate so I can't say for sure, but I think you will get a letter in March. It could be earlier for your class, because ours complained about missing out on some...

   UMCSN4 replied to OrthoFNP's topic in General Nursing

   You will know you are admitted before the interview. It is just a formality...unless you make the WORST impression ever, you are in. Good

10. UMC Accelerated BSN

    UMCSN4 replied to bhope2006's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the Accel BSN at UMC. It is hardcore and fast paced, but I will be a nurse in just a few more months! There is a lot of self study and if you are not prepared to do that, this is NOT the...
