Two things to consider. 1) I am currenlty looking into getting a Phd. At the University of MN they have NP to teach some of the classes. They also help the Phd nurses with their research. So that is an option with your current. degree. 2) I work at a...

I am not in a Phd program so I can't answer your question. I would like to encourage you to do a few things before quitting. It is true that over time our aspirations and goals can change. I would think about why you wanted the Phd in the first place...

So what happened the next time you went to work?--------- I have never measured a PICC line. I was trained to just check that the tip is intact. If the is intact than you know the whole line was removed. If you measure it you also know the whole lin...

Did you ever get your license?

A large percentage of my co-workers live more than 30 miles from the hospital. This means they are commuting 40 mins plus to get to work. Those nurses are the ones he arrive consistently 30-45 mins early. If they leave later they will hit traffic and...

I am going to assume that you are trying to come up with things to teach patients that are withdrawing and are new to sobriety. I use to work at a drug/ETOH treatment facility. The patients were in intense classes everyday that dealt with coping. AA ...

Have you found a lot of groups on FB for PhD Seekers?

I have been look for an online Nursing PhD program. I will have to look into this one. I will be following this thread.

I will be submitting my application to the Nursing PhD program at the University of MN in next few weeks.

I have spoken with the admissions department at the University of Minnesota and the first two years of fully funded. After that the faculty help students find grants/scholarships to pay for their continued education. I did not ask specifically where ...

I am currently looking at getting a PHD. I considered getting a masters first as a bridge but financially it is almost a waste of money. A masters on average is between 40 to 60 credits. Most BSN to DNP/PhD programs are around 70-90 credits. Most DNP...

This is slightly off topic but I think it will help answer your question. While in nursing school my pathophysiology instructor had a Phd in Pharmacology and she was working in a masters in education at the University of MN. I asked her why she was t...

I agree with Saheckler. A few things to consider. 1) In general having a masters only knocks off about 15 to 20 credits from a PhD program. 2) In general a person with PhD make more money and have more job opportunities than someone with a masters....

Thanks, Have you decided on a school?

Background 1) I worked in health insurance processing claims, approving prior authorizations, and educated people about their benefit package 2) I worked as an RN at drug treatment facility where I spent my day trying to get insurance companies to co...

I am in MN and one of my instructors for my ANS is now a professor at the University of MN. She is encouraging me to apply to their program and I have spoken to their admissions department which is where I learned about the funding. However, their of...

Hi Megstudent7 , I am curious to know what you decided to do and how it turned.

I realized I didn't actually answer your original question of "Did I ruin my chances of ever becoming a nurse?". Absolutely not!! You just might have to pick a different school.

You may want to go online and look into the schools drug policy. They may have info on what happens in this situation. As others have suggested, I think your best option is to go an RX from the original doctor that covers the date that you took it. I...

I would recommend getting the RN degree the fastest and cheapest way possible which includes possibly the associates RN. If you have a Masters in Public Health you don't need a BSN to get a PhD in nursing. You could also skip the nursing completely a...

I'm in the process of looking at schools. I am curious if you have a BSN or a MSN. I currently have a BSN and am considering getting a masters in Public Health or Informatics before getting a PdD. Quite a few PhD programs are fully funded but you hav...

Have you started in a PHD program? How is it going so far.

I have been a nurse for 6 years and I still get out late from time to time. Most of the time if I look back at my shift I can see where I "lost time". I work night shift and I'm a med/surg/stepdown float nurse. In general there are 3 main reasons why...

Hi Graduate Nurses, I graduated in December and am preparing for the boards. I read a few pots in the NCLEX area on here and learned about Hurst Review. I have never heard of this. Can some one fill me in. My school uses ATI as part of on core progra...

My Entry would have been, "Hay, I'm back from break. Thanks for your help with browntown."
