Hello! Can you give some insight on the adv. Patho class?? How were the tests?? Thanks in advance!! 

I am taking informatics and patho :)

There's a thread for those of us that start this summer :)

Sorry I tgought I posted, but This is the fb group :) Most of everything should be on canvas :)

There's a fb page :)

Patho and informatics :)

Yeah they're not the easiest on equivalent/ transfer credits being accepted.. :/

That's what I did cause the she issue of experience... but you will gain knowledge at the ltc as well, seeing as they're like the main population we treat inpatient..

Awesome and your friends did full time as well? Omg I'm so glad I met you! Was worried for a moment!

I worked as a CNA on a med surg unit all through nursing school and it helped tremendously to me! I basically got to see my textbook come alive and it all made sense to me why the docs and nurses do what they do and it helped me understand concepts better. Not to mention the nurses were like amazing tutors for me.

Cool! And congrats on your new career and accomplishment!!! I want to start full time in the summer... just had a baby in February but I do work prn... was wondering if you had any classmates with little ones who did full time study? Just don't want to overstress myself cause the profesors at the info session made it sound like part time was the only way to go...everyone that's an NP that I've talk to say just go full time that is doable..

Hello! Was wondering of you could shed some light on the program! I was just accepted for Summer 2016 and am trying to hear from actual students how the program is.. thank you!!!

YvHeflin you're right, but was good info... they strongly encouraged the part time option yesterday... seems like a good idea seeing as anything below a B is a failure anD after one failure your dismissed! But not thinking negatively for myself or anyone! Clinicals are at least 2 days a week and preceptorship at least 3 days a week.. and those who applied late will be considered for the following application period it seems... but good idea to follow up... my status went back to complete as well after payment.. eeeh I'm excited and nervous to start!!

There's an info session this Thursday March 24th @ 1:30pm.. I'm going to go.. hope to see yall there! :)

I applied for summer! Are yall going full time or part time?

I just saw I was accepted today too!! Yay! I went there for my RN to BSN and if the curriculum and profesors are anything like that program it's worth it IMO!

How are you liking it so far?? Any words of wisdom or advice??

Never mind I see now.. It states in 2015 the change needs to start, and be in full effect by 2025.. Hmm... Interesting!!!!

Yay!!!! Its the DNP status nationwide??? I was looking in aana.com and didn't see anything about that? Can you point me to an article or something that says exactly who this applies too?? oh I'm soooo excited!!!

I def know though as soon as I hit my 1 yr mark in ICU I will start applying! The worst they can say is to reapply next year! What schools you looking to apply SewRN? I'm in Houston, TX so I only have 2 options! Lol

I do feel like I'm confident enough but let's just say my ICU mentors really are pushing me to do the floor first... I really dont want to but they promise me it will make a world of a difference in time management and skill set.. So we will see! The university I'm looking at has a dnp program after the msn program but I sure would be happy to skip msn and go straight to dnp like some schools are already doing it!

No... Actually I graduate Nursing school with my ADN this upcoming May 2013!! But I already know this is where my heart is set on!! Been working as a CNA on the med-surg floor at the local hospital close to my school.. Actually we do clinicals there, and I have become friendly with ICU since I deal with them quite a bit because of work! I will get even more dealings this fall with my OR and day surgery rotations so I'm super excited! My plan is 6 months of med-surg immediately after graduation, then hit ICU for the year all while completing my BSN and hopefully go straight to CRNA since the school I will attend one of the 2 that offers the MSN program in my area..... At least that's my plan!! Lol!

Just wondering how many years of ICU did you guys do before feeling comfortable applying??

Hi Baylor chick! Congrats!!!!!!!! I was wondering how many years of ICU did you do before applying?! I REALLY want to be competitive so any tips or wisdom you can bestow would be amazing!! Congrats again!!

SewRN: I'm sooo happy you took the ICU job!!! I am Also CRNA bound and you can always apply to another bigger hospital if you want since they always want ICU exp. first how long are you gonna do ICU before applying for CRNA schools? And where will you apply?
