I will be starting the Acute Care NP traditional on-campus program at UT Arlington this fall. I'm excited and ready to go. If I start to get nervous, then I will not do well. So I have to keep the excitement going :-) I wish all of you starting in...

1. I had jut cut off all my hair because I wanted to go natural without processing my hair anymore. However, my ID still had my long luxurious straightened permed hair. My pt grabbed my ID one day. Looked at it, then at me.Then said...."You look ...

I can't say my experience has been great. I have been at the VA about a year now. It is by the grace of God that I have hung in there. A few things I will point out that drove me nuts:- 1. The thirsty male staff in other departments that see fresh...

Today I obtained my CCRN. However, I was already reviewed by the board. I do not start the position until late July. I contacted the HR rep to ask if this will be considered for a change in the previous boarding level. I was told the board only r...

Hello Natira, I hope you got that call today. Wishing all work out for you.

Hi Pairo. I am also moving to Dallas on July 20 to be exact. I was offered a job at the VA as well. A little nervous, but am ready for the transition from New York. I also would like to know more about the facility.

They didn't contact my nurse mgr. I am not sure about HR.

I didn't hear from them since April. I just carried on until I received a call yesterday. I can see how some people give up. The process is lengthy.

Hello all. I finally got a start date at the end of July. This process started when the job posting closed March 3 this year. I had the interview 1 week later. Drug testing and physical in early April. Completed vetpro and equip April and was boa...

I started about a year ago and had to stop for financial reasons after completing the 1st class. I was paying from my pocket. It as ridiculously time consuming. I'm a sucker for punishment, so I will return to complete the program.

So here is my story. I was called by the nurse recruiter for the VA in my state because I had submitted a resume about 6 months prior to her email. I was told that the interview would be tentative to me passing a test. The interview was scheduled ...

Thanks for the information because I really did not know that.

Well I just started (barely) the process. I had sent my resume via email to the nurse recruiter about 6 months ago. I was called the week of Christmas for a "potential interview which would be dependent on me passing a critical care test. I went i...

At this VA. you have to take a test before getting an interview. It was a critical care exam. I thought I was taking the CCRN. It was difficult. However, experience and knowledge paid off. Onto the next step of interviewing soon.

So I went in and did the test and got > 90%. Just so you all know...it was very difficult and I was surprised. I am waiting for the next step which will be the interview. Thanks all!

You have to sign into "my mavs" and enroll your classes based off of the eAdvisor Plan that was sent to you.

Hi. i would not take anything else with Research. Just my take. It is by far the most difficult of the nursing classes.

Thanks RNsRWe. I thought it was odd too. But that is what I was told when I was called for a "potential" interview. I was so surprised because this is 1st for me and I have been a nurse almost 10 years now. Anyways, she says they have a lot of ca...

Hi yall! I've been reading through some of these comments for insights. I was called for a tentative interview for critical care. However, i was told this interview was contingent to me passing an entrance exam. I will not progress to the interview...

I'm in education, but we all start out doing the same classes. then I guess we eventually branch off.

I just started the MSN in August. You get your acceptance via email.

They include UTA credits only. I know...that's what they used when I graduated from there.

That's so true iLovebees. After that program, I think we can all write in APA with our eyes closed now :-)

The UTA online library should become your best friend. CINALD is the database for anything nursing related. It will also cite each article in APA that you chose.

Hi Yall. Now I have read a lot of not so good stuff about the MSN program. Apparently, I am in some new pilot project for this class. Is there anyone one else out there that is about to start as well? A little nervous, but at the same time ready ...
