many of the hospitals will hire you after your fall semester as a tech. You will get a higher rate of pay than an aide, and be able to do any of your skills you checked off on this summer. They all seem to be flexible with your schedule since it is...

"you know how to make a hormone?" THAWAPPPP!!! after her 16 hour shift, nurse smith is not really interested in your medical jokes

and i forgot to mention, they change things all the time :) so what i say may not mean a thing in a month seriously though.. clinical paperwork now is ~20 pages. no way i'm touching a screen to fill out that much stuff. webct is more of a holding...

I know of a couple people that had ipads with bluetooth keyboards and typed notes in class. as for the kindle fire, I personally wouldn't want to type notes on a 7" tablet. If you can get a bluetooth keyboard for it..maybe You will need microsoft ...

you are welcome. good luck. the summer semester is nerve racking. if you are a shy, non-people person, throw that out before you get there. Once you hit the skills lab you need to get as much practice in on as many people as you can.

you will be on WebCT a lot...so a new computer is up to you. I wouldn't buy one if your current one works fine. SOME people like to take notes on a netbook in class, which is allowed. As for backpacks, you are about to buy the biggest, heaviest te...

As a veteran of the OR, let's say you do get your FNP...do you then come back to the OR as an FNP/first assist 25% of the time and round on pts/run a clinic the other 75? Do you think you would still like the OR in a slightly different role and shor...

appreciate the feedback!

As the title suggests, I have a BS and MS already. I'm completing an ADN program now. . Does anyone know of an online "general" (no advanced practice role...just general leadership or something) MSN I can complete within a year after graduating? T...

You would also agree that some of those classes are not specialized... but are just "support" courses towards the masters. For example, I don't see the point in taking a research class or technical writing class again when I've already done those at...

Hypothetically, I prepare for a specialized graduate program that requires a BSN for entry. Wouldn't you agree that a generalized MSN, finished in say 1.5 years would be a better use of my time than a BSN in one year? I wouldn't have a problem with ...

Thanks Christy. Appreciate the info! I was wondering how they were going to fit everything into 6 weeks! What you described makes more sense.

liz/christy can you guys detail how they teach bedbaths and phlebotomy at ualr? I know those are the two "scary" things about nursing school for most people. thanks!

looks like the UALR clinc/health services offers several of them for free/cheap according to their website.

thanks again!

thanks for all of the info lizv! can you tell us how often/long you were on campus during the summer class (days, times etc)? I'm trying to figure out how i'm going to continue working around it. thanks!

UAMS in arkansas

they'll keep filling spots until there are no more to fill... so i wouldn't say there is only "two" rounds. if they fill all of their spots with this batch, yes.. that's it. otherwise.. people will be getting called up a few weeks before school sta...

you're welcome. NWA would be a good place to learn to hunt. and a great place to fish. you can private msg me if he has any other questions

to me, northwest arkansas is the greatest place to live in the state. multiple lakes to fish with Beaver being the biggest. Loads more within driving distance in OK. Deer hunting is good (not the best place in the state.. but good hunting). if he i...

yes, i'm sure that's what they do. I've heard you have a very short time to respond and hold your seat, so that's probably why the next letters go out the 22nd.

I'm sure its just the mail service holding us up. If they took a 3.1 they'll take both of us. 20 bucks says they take a 2.5. Ill collect my winnings during orientation seriously. there are a couple things going for us. I know they have a class siz...

Beau, give it till wed and don't stress so much. You aren't going to be one of those with a 3.5 and worrying for nothing are you

"The first round of BSN Acceptance Letters will be mailed Friday, March 5, 2010. The next round of notification letters will be sent after Monday, March 22, 2010." from the UAMS website

probably no way of knowing the gpa until you are in class and overhear someone saying what theirs was :) my gpa isn't that great because of stuff i did 10 years ago. i've made A's in all of the "take these courses if you already have a BS" classes...
