Hello all. Are the lectures on video or is it lecture notes?

Is anyone familiar with, or work in, a hospital transfer center? I am thinking about taking a position in my hospital's new transfer center, but I am still unsure of all the responsibilities. If anyone can tell me about what a typical day is like, th...

Does RN experience count toward the experience pay?

Every NP program is different. I did a local program that was designed to be competed in 3 years, and the school required that it be completed in a maximum of 5 years. Working days would have been easier, but I worked full-time 12-hour night shifts...

They paid for my MS a couple of years ago. I guess that the policy could've changed, but I never heard that I had to stay for 2 years. The policy is in Healthport though. Also, keep in mind that the accelerated program is beyond intense. Most peo...

I suppose that I'll answer my own question so that it's available for others in the future. The transfer center facilitates patient transfers between two facilities, typically hospitals. Everywhere does thing differently, but this is how we do it w...

It could take a few weeks or 2-3 months, depending. If you haven't yet been called though, it's unlikely that you will get in for July. Your app could be held until the next class. Good luck!

I completed the fellowship several years ago. The first interview was with HR, the second with the director and manager of the ICU for which I was interviewing, and the third was with the director of the fellowhip program. The third interview was a...

I sent you a PM.

aye125RN, Congratulations and welcome to the system. You will complete systemwide orientation first. When I started, this was one week long, but it may be 2 weeks now, I'm not sure. Do you know what floor you will be working on? Feel free to PM ...

I had clinical in the county jail last semester. The information I have was just from talking to the nurses and observing, because I was with an NP. I don't know how closely it mirrors prison nursing, but I'll tell you what I know. The med unit is ...

first of all, good luck with the admissions process. while some schools place particular emphasis on healthcare experience, having no such experience doesn't mean that you will not be accepted. remember, people entering accelerated nursing programs ...

Hello Tina Rose Well don't feel too bad, I did the same thing. B.S. in Legal Studies with the intention of eventually going to law school. I was lucky to figure out that I didn't want to be a lawyer before I finished undergrad. I worked as a paral...

So far, so good. I have no complaints about the program, it seems manageable and I believe that I made the right decision. I really don't have much to say yet since I'm only two weeks into the program. Please post or PM me your questions and I woul...

The first place you should start volunteering is in a hospital. If there is a university hospital or another large hospital nearby, that's where you should go. That is because many large hospitals have a large variety of volunteering duties. These ca...

Here's the list of accelerated programs nationwide. http://www.aacn.nche.edu/APList.pdf Here is the list for traditional and accelerated BSN programs statewide. http://www.nysna.com/programs/ned/schools/bacca.htm It doesn't matter what your degree ...

Check out your state's board of nursing website. It should have a list of programs in your state. Good Luck.

Hey Tesia, I wish you only the best and hope things work out for you at USF. I'm not sure that there is a standard average waiting time. If the program has a very competative application process then they generally wait until after the deadline to ...

I made two alternate's lists this year. One for an accelerated program, which I didn't get into. The other for a 2-year BSN program at the school I was attending. I was eventually accepted to that one. I was on the list for both schools because m...

Since your currently in school, I wouldn't recommend that you start your career in nursing with a MSN. To get a MSN would take an additonal three years (one for the BSN, and two for the MSN). You may wish to enter the full-time workforce, if you've...

I can't help with info about the entrance exam because none of the schools that I applied to required one. I can tell you about the essay though. Some schools have specific questions that they want answered. If this is the case then work those an...

Just got the Cardiology III from allheart. Its my first stethoscope so I have nothing to compare it to.

Being a CNA will give you great exposure to the clinical areas but in some states there is an age requirement. It shouldn't be hard to find out what it is in your state. In NY it's 18. It's great to see young people like yourself showing an intere...

I was curious, did a search, and found this online. Hope it helps. PROCEDURE: 1. The two step PPD skin test requires a Administration of a PPD skin test which is read within 48-72 hours; b. If the reaction to the first PPD skin test is clas...

I found all of the professors that I took at my last college. I felt the ratings were fair and the comments were accurate. It's a great site. Thanks for sharing. Wendy
