No I was not able to register. I thought I had it worked out, but did not. My advisor is on vacation but she assured me it would be her priority when she gets back. AND... I just got an email from someone saying one of the classes I am having eval...

I emailed my director when I was trying to find out the process for having my courses evaluated. She responded quickly and did not seem bothered at all. I would absolutely email your director and politely ask for guidance on how to proceed with the...

I just wanted to add that the advisor has been very helpful and responsive in trying to work with me on this situation. She has been very prompt in answering my emails. I know it isn't her fault that the process is so slow. I don't want to discour...

Yes. I am in the same situation. Except I only submitted my classes for review 3 weeks ago because I was told you could not submit them until you were accepted into the program. The math they gave me indicates I won't know if my classes have been ...

Did they tell you today at orientation that it would take 2-3 months to evaluate transfer courses for credit? The handout said 2-3 weeks, but the advisor that I spoke with said realistically, it is 2-3 months. I was just wondering what you were tol...

I am having some classes evaluated for transfer and in some correspondence regarding the process for this the Director of my program said "[COLOR=#1f497d]You will be coming to campus for orientation and we will work on a degree plan for you that we w...

I am still not able to set up my email either. I talked to the IT on Friday and he said it is usually 48 hours after acceptance before you can get into the system and set it up. But it was a Friday afternoon, so it may take a little longer since it...
lweatherby replied to PMHNP student's topic in NP Students
Congratulations!! The fall class document they sent is confusing. I wonder if we will hear from an advisor to tell us which classes we need to take. Or maybe they will tell us at the mandatory orientation. I live 1.5 hours away as well. I haven'...

Thanks guys. I was just posting so that you would know there was some action happening there! The wait is the worst....kind of holds your life in limbo for a while. Hope you all hear soon.
I am a previous hospital nurse who has been doing home health for about 2 months. So far it has been a nightmare! I am charting every night after I finish seeing patients and most of the weekend. We do computer charting which I am thankful for... ...

Well.... I have answered my own question and the answer is ....... NO!! It is 11:00 AM Sunday morning and I have been documenting since 9AM and probably have about 2 more hours to go. But I am happy to say that in two more days, I will be done with...

Thanks for all the input. I am still working at the same HH agency, but definitely looking to get out. I have had a talk with my clinical director and branch manager and was basically told "this is the way of home health". All of the RNs have to d...
lweatherby replied to Kitty's topic in Post Graduate
I have the same question. I am interested in any school in any state that sets up clinicals/preceptors. I do not want the headache of trying to set up my own. I have been accepted into a program near my home. However, they do not set up clinicals...

I'm in the same situation right now. I am taking theory and statistics.. I absolutely HATE the theory class and every second I spend working on the ridiculous projects assigned is a massive struggle. I am also working full time and I am just reall...

I was a licensed social worker for 13 years before going back to school in 09 to get my BSN. I am now in a FNP program. I would never get my masters in social work because the pay is so low. There is absolutly no return on that investment. I don'...
I kind of got a late start, but applied to several of the internship/residency programs at Baylor for January. I am just wondering if anyone has applied and gotten a response or an interview? I received the standard email stating that they have rec...

You don't need to pay anyone to do this. Just go to the Florida Board of Nurisng website and follow the instructions. The information for the medication error ceu's is on the website as well as how to get the finger prints. You will most likely ha...

Witchy, bully, rude, hateful, catty....whatever...it is all unacceptable and I should not have to spend my time trying to figure out which one you are projecting. It is completely unnecessary even in the most tense situations. I have NEVER felt the...

I am a UPenn NP student. Yesterday we had a panel of nurse recruiters come to the school to talk to us about what they look for when hiring. There were 5 recruiters and all said that they will NOT hire a NP without nursing experience. However, the...

I recently graduated with a BSN in Texas and have never had a problem finding a job. I worked at Baylor in Dallas right out of school. On my unit... they hired ADNs ONLY if they had experience. They hired BSNs only (new grads included) for their i...

Don't let the opinion of ONE person discourage you. She cannot not possibly speak for the entire nursing community in your area. Nor can she know the attitudes of all of those responsible for hiring. I think the work you did toward getting back in...
