  1. How many schools should I apply to? (accelerated Masters)

    myelin replied to MissVo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to 6 direct entry psych NP programs. Choosing came down to quality of the program and rotations (ie: I really wanted to go to a top school affiliated with an academic medical center), cost,...

  2. New NCLEX 2013 - California

    myelin replied to KDiLRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It seems to me like the CA BRN is very backed up right now, since so many students have just graduated and are currently testing. It took 2.5 weeks for my license to show up on the BRN site, but then...

  3. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    Okay, good. So it sounds like the vague wording is precautionary and if we got the email (assuming the rest of our paperwork checks out), we are most likely going to get the award? I certainly hope...

  4. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    Hi britters5, I'm a NP student in a DE program and I heard a few days ago, if that

  5. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    Anyone else confused about the wording? The email said that I had been chosen to receive a scholarship, yet on the website it refers to me as a "finalist"? When I called today to ask a few questions,...

  6. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    I'm confused about the difference between NHSC jobs that are actually listed on the jobs site and the list of shortage areas that have scores attached. As far as I can tell, there are way fewer actual...

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    No idea how they're doing it... I submitted on the very last

  8. How many schools should I apply to? (accelerated Masters)

    myelin replied to MissVo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's hard to say. I applied to 6 which seemed reasonable at the time, but I ended up with multiple acceptances. This made choosing hard and stressful for me. Plus it was a lot of money to apply to all...

  9. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    Hey guys! I'm a np student with an efc of 0. I was just emailed today that I got the award. Congrats to everyone! This will basically save my financial future. I could not be more

  10. 2013-2014 HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program

    myelin replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

    Have any NP students heard? Or is it all RN students who have heard so

  11. Professional/Personal relationship with patients

    myelin replied to mammac5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it depends on the context. I know in psych any kind of personal relationship with a patient is a big no-no, even after the provider/patient relationship is well

  12. How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    myelin replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    I find this reply amusing as I think there are many "unprofessional" replies in this thread, though not really any from the OP. It's the internet. If you want professionalism this website is probably...

  13. How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    myelin replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    Obviously urgent care is not the place to seek therapy, but they could at least have given the OP a

  14. How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    myelin replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    OP - since I am also in school to become a PMHNP, I absolutely understand what you're getting at. Dealing with lots of bodily fluids during RN school was definitely not daily. I did deal with...

  15. MDs dont own the physician title

    myelin replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I really don't buy the "it's confusing for patients for a nurse to call themselves doctor" argument. Non-physicians who work closely with physicians and use doctor all the time. Like clinical...

  16. nclex monday! 7/8

    myelin replied to rubysasha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine was the same. Tons of SATA and putting things in order. I didn't get math, hot spots, or audio either. I ended in 75 and just checked PVT and got the "good" pop up. I really hope I passed. I...

  17. NCLEX

    myelin replied to phunnicutt's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel the same way, OP. I took it today and it was awful. I was convinced I failed after it shut off after 75. I got home and did PV and got the good pop up. I'm trying to be optimistic, but I was...

  18. Reactions to being a NP

    myelin replied to orangepink's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree that there will be an oversupply soon. That makes it all the more important to attend a reputable program. Or just go into an unpopular specialty, like psych!

  19. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    myelin replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    oh, good, this thread is

  20. Denied from np program

    myelin replied to Naphisa03's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    UCSF is moving to adopt the DNP, but will not be abandoning the MSN, if I recall

  21. MDs dont own the physician title

    myelin replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Dear lord this thread made me cringe. MDs (and DOs) definitely do own the physician title. Just like nurses own the nurse title. I assume you meant doctor. Best to proofread, next

  22. NPs: How did you learn clinical skills??

    myelin replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agree. I think way, way too many people get caught up in the educational models of PA vs NP and can't see the forest because of the trees. At the end of the day, PAs and NPs typically do a similar...

  23. positive advice about Walden University NP program

    myelin replied to babyboys's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's true. Anyone who says "it doesn't matter where you go" says that because they have probably never had someone look at their resume during an interview and go "Oh Wow, Yale (insert any prestigious...

  24. positive advice about Walden University NP program

    myelin replied to babyboys's topic in Advanced Practice

    Reapply to the reputable school and include other reputable programs as well. Do not settle for a school whose only criteria are whether or not the person applying has a pulse and a

  25. Another salary question

    myelin replied to Calibean's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Right... but then they should be attempting to negotiate above that, correct? No one should ever take the first offer. I find it interesting, but I just read a recent article about how one reason why...
