my earlier posts in response to yours stand on their own. no need to add anything more.

Some good nuggets (articles, laws, positions) here as well relating to CNMs (another advanced practice nurse providing care specifically for women): http://www.midwife.org/siteFiles/legislative/Primary_care_policy_brief_07_09.pdf

exactly. scope is determined by the bon of each state. please see below (just one example). there are a great number more. "q: i am authorized to practice in a particular specialty area. i want to expand my scope of practice to include a second spe...

Taking 17 hours was pretty crazy, but we made it through. :) School will be your life during that summer semester. This fall, the 2nd degree students had to take 22 credit hours. Everyone warned us that it would be our hardest semester. For me, summe...

Just posting to give you an online hug. The majority of the responses in this thread kind of baffle me...... I totally understand where you're coming from OP and I feel for you. Keep your head up. Don't let this one thing (that in the scheme of t...

Hi There....Just wanted to reply to the two questions posed to me in your July 14th email....It's been an intense couple of weeks, but we had our last final on Thursday, so I finally feel like I can breathe. :) To answer.....My stats are listed so...

Hello Everyone.... :) I graduated several years back w/ a BS (Business Finance) and a few years later, a JD. I should complete Nursing pre-reqs (pre-reqs required for most US accelerated programs) either this Summer or at the end of Fall 2009. Woot...

I use a digital recorder (Sony ICD-PX720) and I absolutely love it. I purchased it over a year ago at Best Buy (it can be purchased almost anywhere, though) when I took A&P II. I transfer all of my lectures to my computer and I either replay them...

Oh yeah...I record EVERYTHING....and although at times (especially for those 3 hour classes), it's torture to play them back to fill in the gaps in my notes, I do.

No Worries. Like I just told someone in a PM, I like to help. :) It has been pretty crazy this summer, though. This is the first real opportunity I've had to come to this site and actually respond. That changes today, though....back to the crazy, I ...

No. Your white scrubs are required for Clinical and Lab only. This summer, we have classes Monday and Thursday (8 - 6 pm), regular lab on Tuesday, Clinical on Wednesday (6:30 - 3:30pm) and a *free* day on Friday (I spend my Fridays studying ALL Da...

Sounds like me, except this is my first semester - 10 week Summer semester; 17 credit hours/ABSN program; one day of Clinical; one day FREE (Friday - usually spent studying or in lab). We have 1-4 exams each week (avg - 2 per week); care plan assignm...

I wore jeans, sandals and a cute top... I spent several years in suits, not looking to go back to that while I'm in the Program. 90% of those attending the Orientation wore the same. A few dressed up.

You can use whatever you wish, so long as the phone or PDA is compatible w/ the nursing software you will be required to buy and download. Initially, I used a brand new Palm TX; even thought about using my Palm Pre Plus. I gave in and purchased an iP...

I applied and was accepted into USF's 2nd Degree program, beginning Summer 2010. The Upper Division program is extremely competitive. I'd highly recommend that you attend one of the information sessions for USF. The Admissions coordinator provid...

Several things, really (some personal, some silly, some a bit more serious). :) (BTW, sorry for just now responding....I didn't get email notification that you'd asked a question). Overall, it came down to the fact that my first choice has always b...

I'm not kristykat, but I am an attorney in Florida, who initially considered UF's program, VCU's Accelerated MSN program (Richmond), HCC's program and USF's Accelerated BSN program. I applied only to HCC and USF and for a myriad of reasons, I request...

My cumulative undergrad GPA - 3.6; GPA in the 5 courses USF deemed vital: 3.842; I've volunteered at a local hospital since July 2009; & like pjceaa, this is truly a career change for me...I've been in the work force for awhile.

I think New Tampa gets a bad rap when it comes to traffic (unfortunately, I have no idea about apartment rental prices), so I'm going to say this little bit and leave it alone.... Honestly....traffic is pretty bad everywhere in Tampa Bay during rus...

For those of you moving from other areas: I'm not sure what the rental rates are in New Tampa (north of the university), but I love this area. If rent is reasonable, I would HIGHLY recommend moving here. I love it here and believe it to be very sa...

Definitely no worries...just putting the offer out there for allnurses land to see. LOL! I hope everything works out for you. I was a bit nervous yesterday....this is such a big change for me. Today, though.....I'm really excited. :)

I live in the area, but am not familiar w/ apartments near campus at all. Sorry. I own a home about 8 - 10 minutes away from USF (in New Tampa) and I'm looking at renting one of the extra rooms. If anyone is interested, feel free to PM me. :)

I wouldn't give up hope, yeah? We're required to notify the CON by April 12th. If we fail to notify them, the CON has indicated that the spot will be given to the "next eligible applicant". Keep your chin up.
