  1. Nclex attempt 4 -6/27/16 Need Advice

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to TAS1987's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't understand why it is taking so long to get your NCLEX results in VA. I'm in VA and was able to call a number and have my results within 48 hours of testing. That was in

  2. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    I started an RN to BSN program the same month I graduated from my ADN program. Not because I felt it was better but because I realized it was the only way to move up or get into graduate school. I...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to maddmaddie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations on passing. I wish you luck finding a job. It may be difficult to explain why you have been finished with school for 1.5 years and never worked. You will be competing with New Grads...

  4. Nurses are not in high demand!

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to VAMPRISS1973's topic in General Nursing

    In 2009, I had a job lined up prior to graduation in southwest VA. The next year in 2010 the graduating nurses couldn't find a job for 6 or more months. I was truly fortunate that there was still such...

  5. How You Can Lose 50 Pounds In 90 Days

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had lap band converted to gastric bypass 5/25. Today I'm 28lbs lighter and it's only been a month. So I can see how weight loss surgery can produce 50 lbs in 90 days. I'm not certain that I could be...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I ended up completing the majority of my clinical hours at FQHCs 1.5 hrs from my home and with tolls of $17/day. I completed all women's health through the health department but still had to travel...

  8. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Just a note most pharmacists are PharmDs not PhDs. My husband has been one for 13 years. While he doesn't use the title he definitely earned it. There are nurses now being called Dr. and we should...

  9. What is the Registered Nurse Patient Ratio at your hospital?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to LinenP's topic in General Nursing

    When I left the floor at my local hospital in 2013 it was 1:6-8 on nights on the med/Surg Oncology floor. Heard it's still the

  10. Loyola University (New Orleans) BSN-DNP Program - May 2017

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to RN1001's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It can be disorganized and what one faculty member accepts others won't. Finding your clinical placement is very stressful. It takes most folks 4 years instead of 3. The most enjoyable part was...

  11. Loyola University (New Orleans) BSN-DNP Program - May 2017

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to RN1001's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just graduated! It's demanding and difficult. You will most likely cry at some point. The faculty can be difficult and frustrating. You will make it though. Good

  12. Has anyone heard of this?

    Palliative Care, DNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    A person I knew growing up, told me they are in an ADN program through the local community college. She had a felony conviction right out of high school 20 yrs ago for stealing money from her place of...

  13. Has anyone heard of this?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in General Nursing

    Llg, Poor taste was probably a poor choice of words. I just think schools should be more responsible. I'd hate to watch anyone work hard all the way through school only to not be able to get their...

  16. Nurse practitioner or Medical Doctor

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Kenny Rogers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure of what sarcasm you speak? I agree it is very much the program that's chosen. As I stated, there are colleagues that will not accept students from for profit schools to precept. However,...

  17. Nurse practitioner or Medical Doctor

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Kenny Rogers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree it's about finding the proper school. Many offices in my area will not accept NP students from some for profit schools. I personally had to retake a course in my BSN-DNP journey making it 4...

  19. Thank you VA!

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Advanced Practice

    I know but Virginia really has quite a good old boy network. The Board of Medicine successfully holds back independent practice annually. It's up every year and either shuffled to the next year or...

  20. Thank you VA!

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Advanced Practice

    Your article is about the Veteran's Administration (VA) passing independent practice. As for Virginia it was shot down again this year. We may be one of the last

  21. Direct Entry MSN VS DNP

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to SeattleStudent123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just graduated from a 4 year BSN-DNP program. If I were starting today I would go the PA route. I like their curriculum over ours and the fact that they do receive general training. Many are hired...

  22. Low GPA but got into ADN program, would like some advice.

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to PJishere's topic in General Students

    Doesn't matter so long as you pass. I took A&P I & II at the same time in one summer through NVCC online. I earned a C in both. Hardest class ever especially online. Today, I have a DNP....

    I just graduated with my DNP. What I have been told in the job search is that RN experience doesn't count. A new graduate NP is just that a new

  25. 40 yr old with GED. Is a MSN even possible?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to shamis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completed my ADN with a student that had a GED. The only one that can limit what you can do is you. Either way time marches on, so do you want to be making educational progress or in the same spot?...
