MsAsia322 MSN, APN, NP

Just wanted to see if you have gotten your license as of yet? I recently sent in my APN application and the processing time is very discouraging. A friend of mine said hers took 3 months while another friend said hers took 6 months! This is unreal.

You will be fine! I'm also a recent new grad, kinda. I graduated June 2011 but since I had a baby, I wasnt able to jump right into working. I wanted to stay home with the baby or awhile. And after 6 months and about 400 applications, I just got a job...

Congrats to all those entering MHSON this summer/fall! I just graduated June 15th and I can tell you that I've had the best experience. Even though your faculty will be different from mine (due to all the changes over the past year), I'm confident th...

studying @ nite when the house has quieted down is best for me. i turn everything off and close my room door. so its just me and the books lol .. i dont know if youre a night owl but i study best after abt 11p =)
