doune, I am not. quite a few of us in the program weren't in diabetes education (i.e. in a clinic) during the program. dunno what they're doing now. I'm still working inpatient, but I'm looking for opportunities around where I live. right now, i'm wo...

Hello, gracielaleiva. I actually just graduated with my MSN in Diabetes Nursing last month. Aside from the school you listed, Capella University is the only other school I'm aware of that offers such a degree. Here is the link to their MSN in Diabet...

Hi, I am currently nearing the completion of the MSN - Diabetes program at Capella University and just wanted to see if anyone could answer me two questions: 1. What all does the capstone course entail? 2. I was told by a student advisor (and not sol...

Congrats to you guys who got accepted. Myself, as well as about 400+ others, were e-mailed a rejection notice en masse. Personally, I don't care that I wasn't accepted, but the fact that all rejected applicants' e-mail addresses are visible for all t...

I am currently intending on at least trying working full-time at first to see how it goes. Where I work, we don't have scheduled OT, so we only work 3 days a week so that's nice...but this is, of course, assuming I receive an acceptance, haha. My sch...

They should just go on and accept all of us simply d/t emotional distress and inability to adhere to explicitly stated timeframes on their own website thus delaying the decision-making of those of us considering fall-back avenues of educational advan...

Any word yet on anything? Its pretty much the end of the month, haha.

Thanks, tweety1023. I just looked it up, but it looks as though NursingCAS is just figuring everything up as it is entered. I'm assuming U.S.A. will do any necessary adjusting as per their stated admission requirements which would have my GPA differe...

Hey guys, I've seen on other posts in other threads about this school how they saw what GPA was calculated by NursingCAS. I was just curious if anyone around here knows how to look that info up or was it something that was just being mentioned in oth...

Just got my mail as well. Still nothing....I can't help but have this thought "If a school says they'll send out info during a specific time and doesn't notify you of a delay in mailing off said information (I'm just saying 'cause I haven't received ...

Hi all, I just recently found this thread. I wanted to input that I also applied for the MSN Dual Role (ER/FNP) program for this fall and have not yet received anything in the mail (either yea or nay). Glad to see I'm not alone in my personal limbo o...

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone here has any first hand experience working at Trinity Mother Frances Hospital in Tyler, Texas or their Louis, Peaches and Owen Heart Hospital? I've lately begun researching their facility and services and am conside...

Hi. I just recently became PCCN certified (about 2 weeks ago). All I did to study for it was I borrowed some CCRN Review DVDs by Gasparis-Vonfrolio and headed over to www.ed4nurses.com and got some of the downloads from David Woodruff (Fluid/Electrol...

Same thing happened to me but I'm not too worried about it. I've actually had some interviews having left my experience of those 3 months on my resume, but I'm still looking, . Just a matter of time. You're probably not meant to be in that environmen...

Hey guys, got a little scenario to run by you guys, so here goes: I was hired on to a relatively fun nursing unit earlier this year. During my initial interview my interviewer (hiring manager) made the following statement, "I don't normally like hiri...

Do you have to have 1 year of nursing experience to become an agency nurse or is it possible to do that straight out the chute?

Oh cool. I was at North, hah. Which ICU?

Which one you gonna be at? And what kinda nursing?

Cool. I don't have anything against the system itself, just the situation and those involved with it. Can be a nice place to work but I've heard all kinds of "horror stories" from various people but also just as many "they've been really good to me" ...

It happened at WK

I did not give a 2 weeks notice because she called me into the meeting one week before my orientation was to be over and she straight out said to me "your choices are to resign or attempt to finish out your orientation where I'll most likely terminat...

I did leave a signed resignation letter. I had asked her what all she needed from me for my resignation and I gave her what she asked for. I do still have a copy of the letter too. All I was told by her was "Well, I hope everything works out for you....

Hey, I just found this post. I also found myself in a similar situation as the OP. Short story made long: I was scheduled to finish orientation within the next couple weeks. First meeting after I originally started the educator asked how it was going...

Hey all. I'm sure this has probably been coverd a bazillion and one times already but I didn't see it so I'll just ask it: I recently started my new job in a cardiac stepdown unit and have been looking into future career options 2+ years down the roa...

Hey everybody, whats up? I was just interested in knowing if anyone around these boards might work at either WK or LSU in the Shreveport-Bossier area and if you could prolly spot me a little info on the average pay scale vs. benefits at these places....
