:welcome: I would like to use this thread for all of us attending or having attended UofP. I am going to begin classes in August of this year in the MSN/ED program. I would love to hear from different people who are in different stages of the progra...

Hey everyone, I started this thread 18 months ago, and this week finished my MSN. I went through with no breaks, and it flew by. I am glad to have it behind me, but the experiences were great! I highly recommend the program.

I ended up with a B+ in this class, the lowest grade I have made so far at UoP, I missed A minus by 1 point. I don't ever want to take a class like that again. I really had trouble rapping my head around it. But my next two classes have been great. I...

Hey, I am a inpatient nurse case manager in the ICU/Trauma ICU with a large metro hospital in Eastern NC.

Well, I had my interview yesterday, they told me it would be three weeks before a decision was made, but the supervisor called to give me the unofficial offer this morning. I have to wait for HR to get the official offer, but looks good. I will be t...

I have an interview for a nurse case manager position, what can I expect from the interviewers? I have been a nurse for 17 years, in many positions including nursing instructor.

i am currently in the msn program at uofp. it is a great program, but very hard work. you need good writing and research skills to get through the program and must be able to do your work with little help from the instructors.

Thanks for the info, I will add it to my list. I appreciate it. Bryan

I am looking to take a group of student nurses to the UK to visit a nursing program and hospital. I would like to hear from some nurses with recommendations. Money is definitly a consideration as I am trying to get the experience for as little as pos...

I will be first in line to support higher wages for nursing faculty, but playing the devils advocate, the other faculty at the college don't think it fair to pay nursing faculty higher wages than they recieve. How do we as a group demonstrate that th...

Here's my worth. I have been a nurse for 16 years, and just began a master's program and I just accepted a position as a full time nursing instructor at a BSN program here in NC. The position is a nine month position, and is ~$15000 less than than I...

Those of you regulars have probably seen my name over the past few weeks writing about my frustration in finding a position at a college. Well, the stars all lined up and today I had an interview with the dean of the nursing program, and it went well...

TRENNARN You are just the person I was hoping would join the discussion. How is the first class going? Are you taking the intro to Grad studies class? What are the assignments like? What are the Prof's like(no names please). Thanks for joining!!!!!!!...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I was a paramedic prior to going to nursing school 18 years ago, and it was tough. Not the classwork necessarly, but the instructors didnot appreciate independent minded male nurses. I am sure things have settl...
