Hi, is anyone planning to attend Barry University's BSN-DNP program this Fall? If so, please state your nursing background and planned career path upon graduation. I currently work in transplant and like to work as an ARNP specializing in acute car...

Being Thankful, I was accepted to the BSN-DNP class for the Fall of 2016, but I deferred until Fall of 2017. I opted for the DNP instead of the MSN because it is just an additional year, if I were to complete the MSN and go back for the DNP later, ...

Congrats! Initially, I think that first year of classes will be pretty generic in nature; even though we have selected different tracks, we may have several classes together.

Thanks for the feedback. As a pre- transplant coordinator I was told that I would not partake in the procurement of organs, but rather identify candidates for transplants. Coordinating with PCP and etc... To get all testing results, cases are then p...

Hi, I was recently hired as a Transplant Coordinator. I have no previous experience in transplant. Just checking to see what your experience has been thus far. There's not much ( on this site) in terms of recent information regarding this field. A...

Hi, I applied to FAU's BSN-DNP which starts in May 2016. I have an interview scheduled later this month. Has anyone else applied to this program? If so, did you receive an invite for an interview? Has anyone received an official acceptance letter...

Hi NucRN, I am in the process of applying to BSN-DNP programs... I was curious to find out which school you are currently attending? What is your current course load? Please advise at your convenience.

Congrats! What is the cost of tuition for the DNP program? Also, is this an MSN-DNP or BSN-DNP program?

The bridge program is quite rigorous, I attended the online option because I had a full-time job. After my first semester, I was forced to cut my hours. Many of the clinicals only had a weekday option i.e. Psych was BOTH Wednesday & Thursday 8a...

Hello to all! Are there any other fellow RN to BSN students starting this fall at MDC?

You'll be fine, Kaplan wants you to aim for 60% and the Kaplan instructor said that anything above a 50% is a good indicator. I took the NCLEX RN for the 1st time last month and passed w/ 75 questions. I spent almost 3 months studying and I didn't g...

I was able to get in with the same teas score ( because I failed to complete the English component in time) but my GPA was 3.98. It all depends on the program that you're applying for I.e. bridge, generic, accelerated, full time or part time , online...

Hello to all of my fellow test takers. I am scheduled to take the NCLEX RN as a first time test taker at the end of this month. I noticed that many people utilized the "35 page study guide" as part of their preparation for the NCLEX. I'm using Hurst...

Congrats RN!

Kemifair, I have a good feeling that you are going pass this time around. I will say a prayer for you. I wish you all the best! Stare that beast in the eye tomorrow and conquer it once and for all!

Good luck dear, it sounds like you're well prepared.

Hi, I graduated on 12/19/12... I'm scheduled to take the NCLEX on 3/25/13. Looking back, I really regret having taken this long.... I hope that the extra time will work in my favor.

I wish you all the best. I too am taking the NCLEX at the end of March. Just remember that the NCLEX is based on textbook data and not necessarily the real world. You have had many years of experience as an LPN... I'm sure that in those years you'v...

Good luck, and remember to have breakfast!

Hi you mentioned that you studied EKG strips before you're exam, which resource did you use for same?

I'm really sorry for your plight. I too am using Kaplan, but just for the questions and strategies. Kaplan is (in my opinion) awful when it comes to content. Perhaps you should take a week of or so to revitalize, then seek out other sources for co...

Indeed!

I have to agree w/ julz68. I had the review in January w/ ATI, and with it came access to their reviews for 30 days... I never even bothered w/ those videos. I'm using Kaplan, Hurst, and tutoring w/ Remar.

I too am testing in March, I'm using Kaplan, Hurst, and tutoring w/ Remar.... I want to pass on my first attempt. Kemifair, you seem to have all the tools that you need to pass. The fact that you're confident w/ the content means that you have a hu...

Hi Dizzy, it's been a while since I've had a chance to log onto this site. I would imagine that by now you probably have already chosen your option. Online is a pretty rigorous program. If you selected this option, read, read, read, and prepare t...
