When I read this I see a young nurse who doesn't know how to handle a situation asking an older nurse with more experience what they would do. To be honest, I would have drawn from the midline if I couldn't get any other access, especially if the pt ...

This is the same process I went through. I was just selected for an HPSP scholarship and I'm going to MEPS on Wednesday. After I am cleared then I will get commissioned. Hopefully next week.

And what scholarship was that? I don't know the name, it's a $5500 scholarship that I was automatically given. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I was just accepted to the 3 year nurse practitioner HPSP! Has anyone else applied?

I just found out I was accepted into the HPSP as a Psych NP student! Still have my MEPS and background check but hopefully by the end of this month I will be commissioned!

I was offered a scholarship when I was accepted. And I had a friend who was accepted who wasn't offered anything. I know a couple of people currently in the program and they like it. I do t know why the admission process is the way it is but I haven...

"Ah, new crop of baby docs arrived!"

I understand the post wasn't directed at me, thanks for clarifying though. I agree we all need to support each other, and it will be easier when the anonymity of Allnurses is gone. We will get to know each other well I am sure! Just might want to tak...

If the pressure of a IV bag will blow the vein then the pressure of the 10cc flush you used when you first started the IV would definitely have blown the vein, since the force and pressure from that far exceed what a IV bag would give. If it is a pat...

Please whatever you do, do not do what 07032003 has said. Make the decision if you are willing to stay if things improve. If the answer is yes then talk to your manager. If the answer is no then send the email. Things might be tight in the market but...

sarrah, I can understand why you would be defensive since you are a new grad and going straight into a DNP program. There have been posts that question a new nurses ability to quickly critically think, and that can be hard to hear. I congratulate you...

I heard that. If you are a new nurse and you need help let me know, I have a couple of contacts or at the least I'm currently working and can ask around!

I concur, we are most definitely awesome . And yes I am a paycheck, a painfully large paycheck after checking the tuition costs

Hilarious!!

Ooh, that looks really cool, after seeing it I say go for it!!

It would be great to meet in August, PM me when you reach 15 posts and we'll talk. I would also recommend talking with some of the instructors. They are pretty accessible and can give you great feedback on their experience with students who come in w...

Sadly I think your gut might be right. While it might be seen as fun and quirky once you are practicing, while in school it might look a bit rebellious and give an unintended impression. Another thing to think about is that in todays time a rainbow h...

By this I am assuming that you are already accepted to this program. If thats the case then you should have already researched the program to see if it is a good fit for you and meets your high standards, if not then why did you apply? Asking after t...

WOOHOO!!! Congratulations!!!

I have been a nurse for 3 years and currently work in a Level 1 trauma center. I was just accepted to the PMHNP program at UofA. Congratulations to you for getting in, it's a big deal and really exciting! Maybe we'll run into each other at the week l...

I worked in West Hills and lived in Woodland Hills just a year ago. There are great rental options there and it is just down the freeway from Calabasas. I loved that area, the Valley is a great place and not nearly as busy as LA proper or Santa Monic...

A friend of mine was accepted to the FNP track but I didn't see anything on my acceptance letter about what program, just my acceptance to the school.

I was accepted as well. But the email sat in my spam box for 10 days till I got desperate and checked it. Ugh. But at least I got in! I'm in the Family PMHNP track.

Ok... Really?? Lets not get too over the top. I work in an ER, and while this isn't a popular stance I have thought a lot about what would happen if all the frequent flyers up and decided to go to their PCP and be responsible patients... the answer? ...

Just want to give this a bump. Anyone heard anything yet??
