I am currently in an MSN-informatics program at American Sentinel University..Its a lot cheaper at $450 a unit and is also nursing accredited. So far so good! I am just a little worried as I dont see too much on this school from the graduates of thi...

I think it probably depends which program you have applied to. Peds notoriously is not as impacted as FNP and ANP. This is my second application with them. I also applied for Fall but they lost a couple of my transcripts. They tried to pull that agai...

Last week, I spoke to someone on the phone regarding my application for spring (ANP program). She said to give them 7 weeks to make a decision. That would put it well into November!

Good Luck!! Many threads depict the USA program as a nightmare especially the FNP! Teachers dont teach and just dump material on you. I applied for the MSN ANP-GNP program and am awaiting to hear if I get in for January 2011. Please let me know what ...

Congratulations!! How is it going? I am applying to the ANP program for fall of 2011 but for the MSN program. I already have my BSN. Have you heard anything in regards to how many they take? Also, what do you think made your application stand out fro...

I am applying for Fall 2011. Did you get in for fall of this year?? If so, how is it going??

I am currently working in an ICU. I have had enough!! I left work this morning practically in tears . I cannot believe the way they have been treating me. Last week, I made my first boo boo. I have been in nursing for two years and 1 year in the ICU...

I am looking at getting a job in acute rehab and the ratio is 4:1 but this is in a hospital and its California. We have set ratios and because we are a specialty, this is why it is 4:1.

What do you think? I was offered a clinical coordinator position (charge nurse) of an acute rehab unit. The only problem is that I have no rehab experience. I was previously in charge of a short stay unit that closed. Is rehab pretty easy to pick up?...

In the middle of interviews..Panel interview is next..Yikes! A little nervous since it also includes the rehab medical director. I sat in for part of a FIM class to see what I was getting myself into..Oh MY! It is very different charting but I think ...

I was looking at all my old posts..I had no idea that I had such a great response here. Thank You everyone for some great advice. And No. I left ICU and went to home care shortly after that incident. I have no regrets because I really did feel that i...

Walnut Creek Campus is way overstaffed!! Wayyyy too many RNs working who have been getting cancelled on a regualr basis. They really shouldnt be hiring anymore new grads for awhile! Sorry but thats my opinion!

I thought it was a requirement that an NP be an RN prior to applying. This is what makes NPs stand out above PAs, more education and experience. My goal is to attend UCSF but if I dont get in, I would like to go to an online program that is affordabl...

I am finishing my BSN this year and am very interested in UCSFs adult nurse practitioner program. How difficult is it to get in? I missed the deadline for the Fall so will apply Fall of 2011. I am just wondering if I should wait or apply to other sch...

Thank You so much for the info. I am already an RN with my ADN (8 yrs ago) and will graduate in May with my BSN so I am looking at their MSN program for adult NP. I have heard that the program that you applied for is extremely competitive and am hopi...

The pay is almost always higher in the hospital compared to home health.. Also, you are usually paid by the client. I know that I am anyways. The hours are usually longer than the 8 hours that you are being paid for. I am paid for an 8 hour day by s...

My agency also provides a cell phone with unlimited usage. They would like us to only use it for business but they do not care if we use it for personal because they say that it is inevitable during the day and not to worry about it as long as they ...

Hello, Today was my first day as a home health nurse. I can honestly say that I love it. :balloons: It is also a cut in pay for me but I think it will be worth it. My agency is through the hospital I work for so my only difference in pay is my nigh...

Nursing can be a great career. There are so many options out there. If you dont like the hospital, you can always do home health work in an MD's office, be a legal nurse consultant, medical esthetitian. There are so many options. I know, I am also at...

Dont forget we all make mistakes, including myself. If your supervisor bullies you, this is just wrong!! From what I have seen working in nursing for two years now, this happens a lot. Just take care of yourself and screw what other people think. I ...

Patient did absolutely fine. She actually thanked me the next time I saw her for taking such "great care of her." The next day when I was helping a fellow nurse in the bed next to hers, I overheard her giving me praise. She felt that I was at her be...

Well, I am new to this forum and to home health nursing. I am currently working in an ICU. I have had enough!! I left work this morning practically in tears . I cannot believe the way they have been treating me. Last week, I made my first boo boo. I...
