egio MSN, RN, NP

I get to transfer the "3 Ps", so it looks like a calendar year for me. I just joined the general Wilkes PMHNP group. I sent a request to the Summer 2021 group, but as I have not been formally accepted, I likely won't be there for a bit. I hear y...

re: May 2021 - I anticipate starting May 2021 as well. I’ll be a post-graduate certificate student. Are you doing the whole thing? Let’s keep in touch!! I’ll start a new thread when I have more time.

I’m curious what you are including as the 6th course? I speculated on a spreadsheet that my plan would be. Is this what you are referring to?: [556+552]->[526+535]->[527+536] Thanks much!! === EDIT: Changing course numbers b...

This is a late response, but I’d like to hear your experience. I plan to do the same.

Really? When was that?? Their website brags about how awesome they are at finding a clinical venue for you, and you don’t have to worry about a thing.

It looks like you are looking at 4 years with the post-baccalaureate option. This is what I did - I had a previous unrelated BS degree, so I sorta did an RN-FNP program. See here: Post-Baccalaureate DNP : Doctoral Programs : College of Nursing and H...

I was wondering what effect all of the recent negative press has had on my corrections nursing amigos....? It all sounds very stressful to say the least...

Thank you (!) for your priceless insight. I really enjoyed your very very informative post.

Had he completed his first year of college or his first year of an ADN program? If he is a BSN student, it could be his first clinical rotation and if so, I could understand his not having seen an IM injection. I attended an ADN program and we star...

Wait a second!!! You're an RN!!? What in the heck are you talking about "7 years"? I've been an RN for about 5 months and I'll be an NP 2 years and 9 months from today. Let's talk...

Yes, it is TOTALLY worth it -- the best decision you'll ever make! I'm like you -- i'm not in it for the money. I chose my professions like many people choose their spouses: The first was for money.... The second for love.:redbeathe I am just start...

The question was more ore less rhetorical. I think if it was a female patient, just about anyone would say: "I was slapped across the face by a patient". This is just where we are in modern times. In the context of intimate relationships, hundr...

Oh geez. How quickly I forget (duh!).... I am very fortunate as I was blessed with above average test-taking skills and scored very well on my entrance exam (the HESI). It was fairly competitive when I applied, but since that time, with the econom...

Yes, than can. Legally, even. Are they doctors? I assert that it is still up for debate. Apologies for hijacking this very important thread... I'm a new nurse and it is news to me that members of the health care team would be so careless with the...

Praying... :-) YES, you will find a job. I won't lie... I had a miserable time finding my first job, but it can be done and you will get a great one. It's only a matter of time until things turn around and people will be beating down your door to...

Okay, JZ_RN... You are almost a week overdue for our "30-day report". Let's hear it -- The good the bad and the ugly!!! Seriously, though - I hope it has been an amazing month for you! I, too am a new grad and am jumping into my first ever nursing...

First of all, I'm a new-grad RN and I think LPNs rock!!! ....I am a little confused, though, and I always have been. It took me 5x semesters to earn my RN. I know it takes others another semester or two more than that, but it really isn't all that ...

I'd like to chat more with you to compare notes. (I'll have enough posts to PM here in about an hour or so. :-) I, too am a new grad. When I first got the phone call from Wexford, they wanted to know what day "next week" I would be available for ...

Yes, that has been the modern convention, but technically, they should have a doctorate level academic degree, such as a Doctorate of Nursing Practice in order to earn the distinguished title of "Doctor". :) This argument was first presented to me by...

"Slapped across the face by male patient" If the patient had been female, would you have said: "Slapped across the face by female patient"?

Ditto. Thanks for the post. I can relate. I start my first RN job next week and to characterize the locale as 'rural' would be a gross understatement. I know that a few miles away there is a 'market', but that's about it. I'm super excited, read...

[...] (fyi) That is not true in all jurisdictions. In Arizona, e.g. nursing assistants hold certificates -- true, but they are still under the jurisdiction of the board of nursing as certificate holders.

Are you referring to physicians? To be fair, they should never refer to themselves as 'doctor' unless they hold a doctorate level academic degree, the vast majority of which do not. I'm not saying that you should start correcting people that refer ...

That's an understatement. ...and it's not "mostly education" in my opinion. I'm a relatively new-grad nurse and I can't even tell you how many of my colleagues have earned their education and credentials and have left the profession because they co...
