  1. 6 months before starting school - How to prepare?

    pugdaddy posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hey boys ; I'm starting NP school in September at MGH (Boston). Does anyone have advice on what to do to prepare for the next six months? Books to read, stuff to get, things to do? I've not had much...

  2. Regis, NEU, MGH, Simmons, UMass, Curry - Your experiene?

    pugdaddy posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm currently applying to both NP and BSN programs here in Boston at all of these schools. What is your experience there? Good? Bad? What is the best choice? Thanks

  3. Any NP interest in an EM residency?

    pugdaddy replied to physasst's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, I'm only good at gross generalizations. But seriously, the variance of NP scope of practice from state to state, the difference in DNP programs and that right now there are only 4 accredited and...

  4. Any NP interest in an EM residency?

    pugdaddy replied to physasst's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why do you think it's like this? It seems to me like another macro level view of the doctor / nurse but more specifically the gender stereotype based struggle. Nurses (women) can't get it together and...

  5. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    pugdaddy replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why would you wait for NEU if you got into Yale, MGH, or BC? That doesn't make any sense, especially since most of those schools have decision deadlines this and next

  6. Any NP interest in an EM residency?

    pugdaddy replied to physasst's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would attend in a heartbeat. Already, I'm thinking based on everything I've been reading and engaged in that becoming an NP/DNP is a huge mistake. Unless you follow a medical track, you will always...

    Hey everyone ; I'm starting NP school in September at MGH (Boston). Does anyone have advice on what to do to prepare for the next six months? Books to read, stuff to get, things to do? I've not had...

  8. Study tips to help you remember

    pugdaddy replied to BChapp3182's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I too, give lectures to my cat and dogs. Also, it helps if I write or rewrite certain

  9. Six months until NP school begins -- What to do until then?

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

    I donno. We'll see what happens. Why don't you ask on the advance practice message boards, the professional associations, the hundreds of schools seeking out direct entry students, as well as all the...

  10. Torn Between NP and CRNA

    pugdaddy replied to RN in Bmore's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Honestly for me, I couldn't think of anymore more boring that sitting behind a curtain monitoring vitals. Sure, 180k a year sounds great, but it's like working in a prison: you may be at work, but...

  11. Fellow Nursing DUDES

    pugdaddy replied to ORhopeful's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think the ED is best. It's fast, very exciting, and at times dramatically bloody. The best part is that there is (usually) no

  12. Lack of male role models and excess of estrogen

    pugdaddy replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hey man ; It may just be your hospital. Everywhere I go, the nurses are always very busy doing medical things and the CNAs do most of the stuff you're describing. The foundation of nursing does come...

  13. CNA Courses in Boston

    pugdaddy posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hey everyone ; I'm going to be attending school at one of the programs in Boston, but before then I'm trying to gain more experience. Does anyone have information on how to get CNA training in...

  14. Pocket PC, Palm, Blackberry, (which to purchase?)

    pugdaddy replied to ccuRNinTN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    iPhone.

  15. CNA Courses in Boston

    pugdaddy replied to pugdaddy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Jack / KoBrien ; Last week, I called every place listed in Boston and hit a brick wall. Jack, where are you working? Maybe they have suggestions as to who else hires/trains and what the contract...

    pugdaddy replied to pugdaddy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks, Jack. What school will you be

    Thanks

  18. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    pugdaddy replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I thought that NEU already had conducted their interviews. If you haven't been invited, your chances of being invited at this point are slim to none. In addition, from what I understand from people I...

  19. Six months until NP school begins -- What to do until then?

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

    I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough. I'm entering a direct entry accelerated MSN program that includes a RN. Over the next three+ years or so I will get an RN and then an MSN for Family NP. Before even...

  20. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    pugdaddy replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got an acceptance e-mail from MGH this afternoon, but have not yet received a snail mail letter. I nearly exploded, but I really don't believe it's true. It must be a cruel joke. I also applied to...

  21. Anyone from Regis College?

    pugdaddy replied to lablad's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Why is it the worst? You can't make a statement without any details. Please
