  1. Psychiatric Nursing

    freyalisa replied to DreamyEyes's topic in Psychiatric

    I am on geropsych too! I know what you mean about violence and being freaked out. We have 6 weeks of orientation, but it is my first RN job too, so we have been told we are allowed more time if we...

  2. Psychiatric Nursing

    freyalisa replied to DreamyEyes's topic in Psychiatric

    I just graduated and got my first RN job in an inpatient behavioral health unit. Everyone looks at me like i'm the crazy one as well! Nursing isn't my first career - and i have spent most of my...

  3. To be or not to be a psych nurse

    freyalisa replied to marcnaslipknot's topic in Psychiatric

    I was also advised that once you have your foot in the door at a hospital, there are opportunities for float or per diem on other units- so that you can get experience in both. It is also easier to...

  4. Correctional Nursing Salary

    freyalisa replied to NurseNikki5's topic in Correctional

    Thank you those who posted on this page for turning this conversation around. I was starting to get VERY worried. Ultimately, we have to remember nursing is about human dignity. It doesn't matter...

  5. Marquette - Direct Entry Master's??

    freyalisa replied to blueelle's topic in General Nursing

    I'll tell her about your post. She floats around here sometimes.

  6. Marquette - Direct Entry Master's??

    freyalisa replied to blueelle's topic in General Nursing

    We have one person who commutes from Gurnee, IL. It's not too bad. The one thing she wished she had known prior to starting was about "prep". For clinicals starting in fall, you have to go in to...

  7. Marquette - Direct Entry Master's??

    freyalisa replied to blueelle's topic in General Nursing

    I am in DE11. About half of our class had just graduated from undergrad a few days before beginning! I was kind of surprised by that, but anyway - housing here isn't' an issue. Plenty of people...

  8. Columbia ETP 2010

    freyalisa replied to eyeontheprize's topic in New York Nursing

    I would assume that to be the case..... I can't remember specifically what mine said. I just remember getting that email, logging in and being a bit disappointed. Good luck

  9. Columbia ETP 2010

    freyalisa replied to eyeontheprize's topic in New York Nursing

    If i remember correctly that's true. They will give you an email that says something about your acceptance/rejection being posted, that's when you can log in and get the information. Just a few more...

  10. Columbia ETP 2010

    freyalisa replied to eyeontheprize's topic in New York Nursing

    My understanding was you could defer for a year, but I'm not

  11. Columbia ETP 2010

    freyalisa replied to eyeontheprize's topic in New York Nursing

    Hah! The waiting sucks, but the worst thing was we got an email from Judy Wolfe saying acceptance letters are posted, looked- I got in - super excited, then we get a second email like 5 minutes later...

  12. Columbia ETP 2010

    freyalisa replied to eyeontheprize's topic in New York Nursing

    It was February last year - I think I found out mid-February. Yeah, they don't leave you a lot of time, but it was one of the earliest responses I got from schools - others didn't come out until late...

  13. Columbia ETP 2010

    freyalisa replied to eyeontheprize's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm at Marquette. I have some issues with it. Def. cheaper, though I often question whether I would be getting a better education at Columbia, and that it would be worth paying for. Right now I...

  14. Frustrated over direct entry MSN - prerequisites, but still determined

    freyalisa replied to jb2010's topic in Nursing Career

    Cool! Just wanted to make sure! Yah the online Direct Entry is tough to come by, and I wouldn't want to do it online...good luck

  15. Frustrated over direct entry MSN - prerequisites, but still determined

    freyalisa replied to jb2010's topic in Nursing Career

    I am in a direct entry program right now. IT is for people who have a bachelors, not an ADN. You need a bachelor's in something to get into direct entry. If you have an ADN, you can bridge into an...

  16. Frustrated over direct entry MSN - prerequisites, but still determined

    freyalisa replied to jb2010's topic in Nursing Career

    Just know you need to do a bridge program, you can't go ADN to MSN right

  17. Columbia ETP 2010

    freyalisa replied to eyeontheprize's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey All! I applied to and got into Columbia ETP for 2009. Yes, most people get the scholarship, BUT it is really just a drop in the bucket. I think most people average well around $140,000 in...

  18. Frustrated over direct entry MSN - prerequisites, but still determined

    freyalisa replied to jb2010's topic in Nursing Career

    I know Vanderbilt does distance learning. If you do a direct entry program, the first year is done on campus in Nashville, but you complete the adult portion online and back in your own community....

    freyalisa replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    hey guys. I'm being wimbly! I'm worried i let the stuff on the chat threads influence my decisions too much! I am really worried about the cost! I already have 30k in loans....so that's a big...

  21. Marquette - Direct Entry Master's??

    freyalisa replied to blueelle's topic in General Nursing

    Hey ktskinh! I am going too... i tried to register yesterday, but i couldn't get into the summer courses! I hope they have a meet and greet or something for the DE students, as I'm looking forward...

    Charmed - I didn't realize you were coming specifically from an international perspective. Good luck with getting things sorted, it sounds like its been

    freyalisa replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for the clarification - you have done your research

  24. Columbia University-ETP

    freyalisa replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    aspiring.midwife- I would assume since you are getting an MSN, that it would not matter whether you had the BSN, the BSN is probably required if you did not finish and get the MSN. Of course, if...

  25. Columbia University-ETP

    freyalisa replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm just saying i don't think you need to question the quality of a program dependent on whether they offer a BSN prior to the MSN. That's all! Otherwise there is no
