i know this has been discussed before...i know that there are many facts that go into this decision. i am more interested, though, why YOU chose to pursue nursing instead of a career as a physician assistant, especially because so many of us are appl...

hi everyone, so i graduated from a second degree program at one of the top schools and was fortunate enough to get a job at a top 10 hospital in trauma. on paper, this sounds great, but in reality, i am really, really struggling. i don't think it's j...

that is a great post. and it's one of the reasons i would absolutely give hospital nursing a true shot. but this unit is just too high acuity for me. i think i need to recognize my limitations and be safe.

thank you, everyone. last night was my first night off orientation, and it was a disaster for all the nurses there, simply because the acuity is high - but i was not allowed a chance to pump at all in my entire 14 hour time frame that i was there. th...

i have thought about asking this, but im afraid they're just going to let me go altogether. i am definitely not interested in inpatient hospice. we are a very well-rounded teaching hospital, so i know there are units that are a better fit for me out ...

thank you, everyone. @amolucia, my son is 9 months old, and we have a 9 year old daughter. we had our daughter really young, and i actually went through college with her. my BSN is my second degree, first degree is in Biotechnology. i actually had my...

we get paid from 7AM-730P a flat hourly rate. if we clock in early (say, 645AM), it counts as 7AM. If we clock out anytime between 730-8PM, it still counts as 730PM. We still get paid for being there, but OT is only if we hit 80 hours in 2 weeks, so ...

let me also clarify - i have an interview for a public health nursing position that sounds really great to me. right when i was speaking to my husband about how i was feeling, they reached out to me to interview bc they remembered my initial interest...

hey mapsu08, feel free to shoot me a message at [email protected]. anyone else please feel free as well!

hi everyone :) im a current student in Penn's BSN/MSN Program, Anesthesia track. please let me know if you have any questions!

Well i wasnt so stressed before lol but now i am freaking out a little bc of the $

Or im sorry, it is $5k for each course?

I thought $5k was for the entire summer, too. If that is really per credit hour, that would be insanely expensive wouldn't it?

ps, is anyone else accepted to Penn with the Anesthesia concentration??

oh, and i was notified via email!

i think it depends who you interview with, too! i interviewed with a panel of 4 faculty members. they asked why nursing, why nurse anesthesia, what i do to relieve stress, how i feel about the philadelphia area, my biggest strengths and weaknesses. t...

just requested to join :) i am relocating from boston, so although it's not as far as LA, i still don't know philly well at all. how are you guys going to figure out where to live?

congrats to everyone who got in!!!! i applied to the Nurse Anesthesia specialty and was not accepted. but i was accepted to Penn's, so i am really excited. :) columbia is awesome, SO happy for everyone!!!!! NYC is amazing!

not sure if i am going to be able to make it to the admitted students day, either. this is my #1 choice, and i TOTALLY want it to work. just have a lot of outside factors to think about.

OMG!!! i got into my master's specialty too! what did everyone choose? i chose anesthesia, and i am shocked and excited. this was a reach for me...my GREs were only "ok," so i am a little blown away. congrats to everyone!!!

I got in to the absn portion!!!! I am so happy!!!! When do we find out about the master's?!

thank you for posting that!!!! ahhhh sooooo nervous!!!!

Where does it say this?? I logged in and didnt see it?

hi lovemenursing, at the interview i remember them saying that they would contact you if any components of your app are missing. if you are worried, i would definitely shoot them an email or a call to make sure everything is in.

i absolutely fell in LOVE with the school on interview day. it is officially my TOP choice. keeping my fingers VERY crossed...
