  1. To apply to NP programs now, or later...that is the question.

    yelnikmcwawa replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To the above posters...thank you! This is the kind of feedback I'm looking for. I know that undergrad nursing school is a piece of cake for me but I really have no idea what to expect out of an NP...

  4. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't find her contact info now, I'm sure it's buried in a sea of emails. I just saved the excel spreadsheet cause that was all I really cared about for the time being! Besides, I don't know if it's...

  5. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, that page is not the one used for the NSP! That page shows facilities for physicians and such. Our funding is based on entirely different shortage research. Your analyst will give you the info for...

  6. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call your HRSA rep because they will refer you to their lady who handles the site approvals. She will send you an EXCEL spreadsheet for your area. And no, the page you are talking about is not the...

  7. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutly not! HRSA does not find you a job, you need to find your own. The way it works is they have a list of approved facilities and you are free to work at any of them in the country. Also, there...

  8. block 4 preceptorship- scheduling?

    yelnikmcwawa replied to kss0740's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I wasn't bashing the community colleges or trying to start any kind of debate like that. I was merely asking if everyone thought that 96 hours of preceptorship was sufficent for making them feel...

  9. block 4 preceptorship- scheduling?

    yelnikmcwawa replied to kss0740's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Our preceptorship is 180 hours at NAU, so it is pretty much double that. That's why I was surprised by your ability to do it in 2.5 weeks! Yeah, the preceptorship is a great way to learn how to...

  10. block 4 preceptorship- scheduling?

    yelnikmcwawa replied to kss0740's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow, only 2.5 weeks. How many hours do you have to do for this preceptorship? Is block 4 the final

  11. Which NPs don't deal with dozens of patient per day?

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Have you considered becoming a Neonatal NP? I know you said you don't like kids, but an NNP is typically dealing with premature babies who pretty much sleep all day long. Plus the NNPs on the unit get...

  12. Question regarding engraving stethoscope

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Im a Pepper's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I actually do have "not your stethoscope" engraved on my cardio III I figured I wanted to have something identifiable on it but didn't want my name should I ever want to sell it. Plus it was free, so...

  13. Drug Testing

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Future O.R. Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not me...I'm a second degree student in an accelerated BSN program, and I got the scholarship last

  15. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They will only backpay you from the time the award started, but not for previous years of schooling. So for example, the awards begin for everyone on July 1st of the application year, but awardees in...

  16. Apollo College RN Program

    yelnikmcwawa replied to crangel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Dude...if you have a BS already, why not try and apply for one of the universities??? NAU has an accelerated BSN program and it is now only 12 months! It'd save you a whole lot of money and you'd have...

  17. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a $10,000 scholarship that was allowed to be spent as I wished and it did not stipulate that it had to be used for tuition. So when I got the HRSA grant, I had my school send them a bill for all...

  18. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I meant I was able to pocket what I got from the OTHER scholarship becasue it didn't have a stipulation that it had to be used for tuition. So HRSA back paid my tuition after I was notified, and...

  19. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would still apply for every other scholarship that you can! I got a huge scholarship on top of the HRSA and was able to pocket it all. Also, even if you get another scholarship that pays for some of...

  20. BIO 205?

    yelnikmcwawa replied to koalakoala's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I, too, would recommend you take it online. If you live anywhere near Central Phoenix, the BEST teacher ever is at Phoenix Community College!!! She is a phenomenal Micro teacher, makes her class a ton...

  21. Is ORIF hardware always removed?

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Nursing12345's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I do not know about other types of hardware, but as a previous posted stated, IM rods are being more frequently removed these days. I had a tibial rod placed and then removed a year later. My surgeon...

  22. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was 1269 for the 2009/2010 school year, but is 1369 for the 2010/2011

  23. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, but virtually every hospital in the country qualifies as an eligible NSP facility with regards to the "nursing shortage". Even for profit hospitals in high income zip codes qualify. The amount of...

  24. I am a little bit concerned...

    yelnikmcwawa replied to aabdelhadi88's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It can't hurt to apply everywhere. I don't think, however, that you have a chance at ASU with those grades. They pretty consistently have enough applicants to only take those with almost straight As....

  25. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    yelnikmcwawa replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We were told the same thing last year, but the awards didn't finally get sent out until end of September and into October. Basically the deadline kept getting pushed back further and further. Also,...
