    Hi all! I'm declining here, too, so another spot opens! Best of luck to all of

  2. Masters Entry Level Nursing Program

    blackbird singing replied to alexisash's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will second what the other posters here have said! It is very important that you show you are passionate about becoming a nurse and about your specialty field. I didn't have stellar grades or GRE...

  3. Vanderbilt Grad Entry 2012 Application

    blackbird singing replied to blackbird singing's topic in Advanced Practice

    Would pre-specialty students be considered for this? Simply because I know some schools consider the prespecialty year to be a "5th or other undergrad" on the FAFSA. Guess this would be a question I...

    blackbird singing replied to blackbird singing's topic in Advanced Practice

    Me, too! For NMW, prespecialty. I wasn't expecting anything today, and I especially wasn't expecting an email, so it was quite the surprise! Hope I don't get in trouble for logging on to a computer a...

  5. The dumbest thing I ever said to a patient.

    blackbird singing replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nursing Humor

    I am a PCA and a pt called me into his room and told me he had to use the bathroom. He was a new pt, so the preceding PCA didn't know how he ambulated and I had not had a chance to ask the nurse about...

    blackbird singing replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @junipers: So good to hear! I am thinking I will be interviewing on the phone, too. Good to know that a phone interview doesn't hurt your

    blackbird singing replied to blackbird singing's topic in Advanced Practice

    And I'm a prespeciality applicant, so that could also be why I haven't heard anything. Someone else on this board called this week and was told they are reviewing the ones for those who are nurses...

    Yup. Already got my mail today and nothing

  11. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    blackbird singing replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah! Well, I have my bachelor's in microbio, but I work as a PCA. My last initial is S and I still haven't received my interview date yet either. Checking my email obsessively as I wait! I'm coming...

    Midwifery also here!

  13. for those in LTC..what songs do your residents like?

    blackbird singing replied to AshleyinSTL's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Dean Martin. And Slim Whitman (if you can handle some yodeling :)

  14. Seattle U - APNI 2012

    blackbird singing replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Has everyone been contacted about when the interview is going to be? I haven't heard anything other than the email! Do we need to call

  15. Marquette Direct Entry MSN 2012

    blackbird singing replied to MissHolland's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I also got the email today saying I have been accepted and as if I was already a bit unsure about not being guaranteed the midwifery specialty, they said it will take 3-4 years for the master's...

  16. Vanderbilt Grad Entry 2012 Application

    blackbird singing replied to blackbird singing's topic in Advanced Practice

    That seems to be my understanding of it as well. There is no requirement to have a B in each class. They also seem to be more relaxed about the actual classes you take, as well. i.e. no rigid...

    blackbird singing replied to blackbird singing's topic in Advanced Practice

    Glad to hear I wasn't the only one with a short interview. Mine lasted about 15 minutes total, about 5 of those were me asking questions. And I asked them at the beginning of the interview. I wanted...

  18. Foods with Dysphagia

    blackbird singing replied to ADAngel's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Chocolate pudding is common on the dysphagia trays they have where I work. Maybe ice cream, but isn't it thinner when it melts? Aaand, I think they have some flavored thickener packets at grocery...

    @AnneP: I hope it's that soon! I just got off the phone interview and I was told end of this month/beginning of next month. OH wells, guess all we can do is wait and hope for the

  23. Studying for GRE

    blackbird singing replied to mwirawanRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I used the Kaplan book to prepare (with the CD and online access code). I got it off amazon for 25 bucks I think. I found it very helpful. I think I tried to take 1 full test each weekend for about a...

  24. UW closing its nurse-midwifery program?!

    blackbird singing replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah I saw that and I was totally surprised. Midwifery is especially popular in the PacNW... maybe there is currently an oversaturation? I didn't think it made sense, of all schools to get rid of...

  25. How to handle/mask feces smell...any tips of the trade?

    blackbird singing replied to nursingstudent3109's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Even some seasoned nurses can't stand the smell of colostomy bags! The only advice I have is: you will get used to it. That's probably why changing your cat's litter box doesn't make you gag... you...
