I'm very excited as I just got my acceptance call! I was wondering if anyone else around here would be starting Oct 28th? I'd like to keep in touch to help each other out through this! I've been a nurse for 8yrs and always knew I'd go back eventu...

So...I've made a list, (checked it twice...actually 100 times ) of the key points to each program. They've come out pretty similar. I'm having a battle with my self on which one to choose. I have had road bumps with both schools involving the admiss...

in my third class at CCN :) I think the classes are good. I'm currently in Nursing Informatics....def not my fave class, but i'm learning new stuff (and revisiting a WHOLE lot of what you learned in undergrad, but never use in the real world I'm fu...

any of you ladies in the class that starts today?

Doesn't the mandate say something about 90% of charting has to be on an EMR by 2014..... Not sure but I think that includes all clinics too? Your office could be in for a very stressful 2014. I went "backwards" with charting as a travel RN. I was tr...

I'm buying books for my first semester of FNP school. My required is the APA 6th edition book, I've matched the USBN numbers...read that the "older" one has MANY errors, then they reprinted another one with corrections. How do I know which is which? ...

Pardon my stepping in to this thread as a regular RN (about to start FNP program). Something stuck out in your post... When you say you constantly have to follow up with staff to tell them they have orders, then follow up with ancillary services to ...

Thanks all! I decided to go with chamberlain. My experience was so much better with them... Wayyyy better than maryville! Also no group projects was big for me too, a friend attends maryville and is constantly frustrated with her group projects. She ...

Long story short, I was accepted to start first of november but bc of some state requirements for clinicals (apparently Chamberlain was missing some paperwork) I decided to hold off on starting until it was resolved (I didnt want to assume it would g...

Well....thanks.... I guess thanks! ~b. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

I am about to start chamberlains FNP school in November. I was talking with a coworker yesterday and she said that South Dakota only has a few non South Dakota schools approved for licensur based on clinical . I called the board and they said that as...

Hey NV.... i'm in SF also. I work at Sanford in the Cath lab (was at aver before that in ICU) we should meet for coffee when school is going! So...a couple of things i wanted to update you on....Everything is ready to go with SD and Chamberlain. N...

8 years since I graduated with my BSN-- I bought the APA book already to figure it out, it's foreign to me hah! Also my univ provides a site to submit papers to for review before due date, so I will utilize that a lot I hope I can regain the momentu...

So-- when we graduated with our BSN (2004) in Texas (Midwestern state) , I had 4 classmates with an MIP charge on their record. They had to declare it to the board, submit essays on the issue, send a lot of paperwork in to the BON and pay some fees f...

So I'm waiting to hear back to start school... So I wanted to make a list of stuff I need for NP school. We are very budget conscious so we like to know ahead in order to plan our budget (we are paying for most of my school out of pocket even lol) wh...

congrats to everyone starting!! Lets stay in touch hahahah survival in group mode

Miiki......i wish our BON was that transparent! I had to read 4 pages of bylaws to find the sentence that said "must be an approved school". I knew it would have to be accredited (obviously) but had to find that sentence THEN call them and speak wi...

we staff EVERY case with 4 staff members. usually 2 RCIS (scrub & Monitor) and 2 RN's (circulate and "nurse"...they document, give meds etc). Sometimes RCIS circulates....which leaves one nurse in the room. Usually its ok, if its any urgent ca...

congrats! I start my new journey at the end of this month! I originally set out to start in January, but my advisor said there were still openings for november so I pulled the trigger and went for a Nov start...YIKES!!!!!

thanks for the feedback! Thank you ZmanSC...I will double check on if my school allows the formatting programs. Yes, I also believe that they focus so much on format that it towers over the content but *sigh* it is what it is!

Haha I love my keurig... I love not wasting pots of coffee but able to drink a couple diff kinds :) it's awesome! thanks! ~b. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com
