  1. GRE: how bad is it really?

    scarykarrey replied to KBICU's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My last 60 hours' GPA is 3.5, and I've worked full-time the whole time (and had a kid a year ago, phew!), and I think my personal statement was pretty rockin'. Hopefully that'll be enough! What...

  2. University of Cincinnati WHNP Fall 2013

    scarykarrey replied to michelernibclc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have you considered applying at the University of Alabama-Birmingham for their WHNP program? They consider your last 60 hours to calculate your GPA, instead of only looking at your

  3. GRE: how bad is it really?

    scarykarrey replied to KBICU's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, my verbal percentile was 91st and my AWA was 93rd, so hopefully my overall score will be enough to overshadow my less-than-stellar grades from my first few years of

  4. GRE: how bad is it really?

    scarykarrey replied to KBICU's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I took the GRE on September 25th, and I did great on Verbal and AWA, but I'm less than pleased with my Quant score. I wish I had reviewed more. I think what might have tripped me up is that I did TOO...

  5. MBA in healthcare management or RN-MSN in leadership

    scarykarrey replied to Awesomepossum's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do you want to manage nurses, or do you want to manage entire healthcare institutions? If the former, probably the MSN, since from what I've read requirements are moving towards needing that MSN even...

  6. Online RN to BSN Programs Legitimacy - Help Needed

    scarykarrey replied to EMEddie's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm currently enrolled in the RN-BSN program at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, and I think it's great! It's all online, except for a Community Health Practicum that takes place locally to you, and...

  7. Has anyone ever NOT been accepted to frontier?

    scarykarrey replied to SnowboardRN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Oops, sorry. It's local to me, so I forgot that it's not one of the online-only

  8. Has anyone ever NOT been accepted to frontier?

    scarykarrey replied to SnowboardRN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    FYI, University of Illinois-Chicago offers an online MSN in midwifery/WHNP and only factors in your most recent 60 credit hours. I'm applying there for Fall 2014

  9. RN-BSN Programs

    scarykarrey posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! Anyone have any strong opinions about RN-BSN programs in the Iowa City and surrounding areas? I'm pretty sure I won't be going to the University of Iowa (and I'm not too broken up about that), so...

  10. RN-BSN Programs

    scarykarrey replied to scarykarrey's topic in General Nursing

    Just as an update, I actually ended up enrolling at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. The tuition cost was actually a little less than for UIU, MMU, and IWC, and the program is entirely online,...

  11. HOME STRETCH

    scarykarrey replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Me too! I'm almost done with my preceptorship, overnights on weekends in the ETC of our local major teaching hospital. I've had a fabulous experience in my preceptorship, but I'll be glad to be done...

  12. NCLEX-PN - PASSED!

    scarykarrey posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm currently an ADN student at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, IA, and I took the NCLEX-PN board exam last Friday. Sunday morning, bright and early at 8am, I paid my $8 and found out that...

    scarykarrey replied to Stephanieee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats!

  14. Failed Nclex PN 3 times, don't know what to do now...

    scarykarrey replied to simandrea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Definitely tell the people in your life to lay off you about failing. If it builds itself up as this huge, insurmountable wall to climb, of course it's going to be a roadblock for you. Get yourself...

  15. Just took my NCLEX PN today

    scarykarrey replied to RN_Cubby's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I bet you did just fine! I wish LPNs here in Iowa made as much as you guys in NJ, then I wouldn't have to keep my office job while I'm in school. I'd love to get experience in the

  16. NCLEX-PN computer shut off at 85 !!!!!help!!!!!

    scarykarrey replied to futurehealthcarewrkr's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wish I had known about PVT! Oh well, I passed and feel great about it! I also got stopped at 85

  17. Question for Those that Took the NCLEX-PN

    scarykarrey replied to FocusRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yep, I found that it really spanned the entire age-range. I didn't have a ton of SATA, had about 4 metrology. The biggest thing to focus on would probably be prioritization. I had a lot of those...

  18. Finally I am an RN!

    scarykarrey replied to Liyah24_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats!

  19. RN-BSN Programs

    scarykarrey replied to scarykarrey's topic in General Nursing

    I've looked at that IHA scholarship! I'm going to apply for it for sure. Thanks for the advice on MMU. I've been talking to Lu Crary in admissions, and I'm currently waiting to hear back from her...

  20. Iowa Nursing Students- HELP!!!

    scarykarrey replied to hawkeyeginger's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently a year into the ADN program at Kirkwood Community College, and while there have been some frustrating aspects of my time here, I'm really happy with the knowledge that I've gained so far...

  21. RN-BSN Programs

    scarykarrey replied to scarykarrey's topic in General Nursing

    At this point, I really think that Mt. Mercy is the front-runner. My best friend attended MMU and got a BS in Biology, and it was a really nice change from UI. I'm hoping I can qualify for some...

  22. RN-BSN Programs

    scarykarrey replied to scarykarrey's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in contact with the admissions counselors at Iowa Wesleyan, and they seem extremely friendly and helpful! The IWC website doesn't have much information on the RN-BSN program,
