NurseNotRatched ADN, BSN, CNA

Congratulations on your senior year of college. I am a 2nd year graduate student in an MSN program for psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (May 2019). The route you take ultimately depends on a combination of how much money you want to make...

I'm taking the History taking & Physical Assessment class. I thought it'd be beneficial for me because I work in a nontraditional role where I do not do h to t assessments. My book just came today & I'll be present for the skillscheck off.

I received 2 emails...1 regarding Pre-O and the itinerary for Monday and a few days later, I got one directly from the program chair from my selected specialty. I can forward info to you.

Sorry...Edited because the question wasn't directed to me

I am in a similar situation. I've worked around methadone & subutex/suboxone for over 3 years but I'll be starting a PMHNP program in fall. Thankfully the program I'll be starting counted my substance abuse as experience for the 6 month psych req...

I applied for full time matriculation.

NCnurse17 & Spresley: I'm sorry to hear. Do you have an alternate option or will you reapply?

Hopefully you won't have to be in suspense for too much longer. I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to their method. My completed application wasn't submitted until the day before the due date although I had started submitting documents as ea...

I received an email mid morning today telling me a decision has been made. I was accepted & I applied for the PMHNP program for UNC.

@SopranoKris Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to check that program out

@NCnurse17 @tinamayrn I also applied to UNC for MSN-NP (PMHNP) fall 2017. I placed all my eggs in one basket as I am only really interested in Mental Health and it's the only program in the state of NC. Any other school out of the state would not b...

To add to the previous poster, if you ARE able to find a mostly online ADN program you really want to make sure that it is reputable and accredited not only by your state BON but also CCNE or NLNAC accredited. Also you may want to check with other p...

Sorry I can't give you specifics because I don't know the exact number myself. All I've been told is that it is "more" than hospitals pay. I will be graduating in May and am interested to know this information myself as I am not that excited about ...

Baptist Hospital just hired December 2011 grads for their journeys program. There is no listing yet for Spring 2012 grads. Also, Randolph Hospital is hiring new graduates (today is actually the last date to have application materials submitted).

Happy New Year! I'm entering my final year of nursing school and got my ACLS certification this past July. It would have probably made more sense to wait until after I graduated and got a job so that the employer would pay for it if I am going to be...

redeem my groupon for an hour long bamboo massage, get my hair trimmed, take a loooong bubble bath, read for fun, experiment with new recipes, clean the house from top to bottom, eat lunch with my kids at school, go to the beach for new years, have g...

50-60% is about expected. Our class started out with 40 and at the end of this semester we are down to 18 (maybe less...I won't know until I get the list for our final semester in the spring). But our school's NCLEX pass rate was 100% last year.

are we in the same nursing program?????

sorry...repeat

Just to chime in on what most everyone else has said, yeah, in the first semester you'll mainly do cna type stuff and probably pass po meds. You'll start off with one patient. I am finishing up my 2nd to last semester (thank you god!) and this semest...

your study time will probably depend on the actual schedule. i'm in my next to last semester in an adn program and this semester we have 3 hour lectures on tuesdays and wednesdays and a 12 hour clinical fridays or saturdays (the class is split). i'...

High Point Regional had a nurse recruiter at my school job fair a couple of weeks ago. She said the GNOSIS program for new nurses does indeed require a 36 month commitment and we would not see any new grad job postings until January 1st 2012.

yes, hurst is an nclex review...they have very high success rates and my school wouldn't entertain any other companies. total=$350, we pay half=$175 class dues can go toward anything really... we all have to look the same for the pinning ceremony, so...

Unexpected Costs (for me): Printer paper (printing in the nursing lab is free but we must provide our own paper....i go through a couple of reams of paper per month) Hurst Review costs (school will pay 1/2 with 100% participation from our class) Clas...
