Hello everyone. I had to have called at least 50 different physicians offices looking for a physician or NP that would be my preceptor. I have found a preceptor for 2 of my adult rotations, but need 3 more. If anyone can help me out in locating a pre...

Wow...I have to say I am very surprised how many prior Security Forces decided to become a nurse. Prior Security Law Enforcement (K-9) USAF 7 years myself. Got out, received my RN diploma (last graduating class for that diploma program), worked for ...

Unless you have your heart set on USAF, you may want to consider the USPHS. A US uniformed service with the same benefits as the military, but with humanitarian mission goals with natural disasters and a mission to serve the under-privileged of this ...

In the Columbia, SC area Palmetto Health really helped me out. Ask for the Director of Ambulatory Patient Care Services. You will need to still find your own preceptors but they will give you resources. If you are with South University they already h...

I can't remember...but I recomend that you purchase the Kindle version. It makes doing your research homework so much easier

The pharmacology course was a combination of research papers, case studies, and discussion questions. It is labor intensive, but doable. I am in the FNP program. Do I feel the are preparing me for my exam? All the information is there for studying, ...

So far there is only one class that has exams. There is 1 advanced physical assessment practicum and 4 clinical practicums. I have finished the advanced physical assessment practicum and the adult/geriatric practicum, and am starting women's health t...

I am in their FNP program. I graduate on July 7th, 2014. It is a new program and has had some bugs they needed to iron out, but overall I have found it a positive experience. You do need to find your own preceptors and you need to be self motivated t...

The first week of October the PHS will be announcing what new applications (for a limited number of professions) will be coming avialable. I am not sure if nursing will be one of the professions though... They will announce it on their Facebook page

They have a facebook page where they often give updates. There has been mention of possible nursing opportunities opening up sometime in the fall. No exact date...

Found them. :)

Not yet...

Looks like decisions will be released on May 9th. Good luck everyone.

i am sending off my applications to duke and musc for the fall 2012. i have heard great things about both schools staff and program. i think i have a pretty good shot for acceptance with my gpa and rn work experience over the past 15 years, but duke'...

i have both my applications submitted. graduate from an rn to bsn online program next month. my gpa is such that i didn't have to take the gre for either of them, which is really cool. now i am just waiting to hear back. i am not letting the cost of ...

very helpful. thank you for your comments. i haven't visited the campuses, but i won't be spending much time there anyway with both being online.

i worked 11 years law enforcement here with 2 years as a sniper on a hostage negotiation team. i made the career change 15 years ago and never regretted it. you will never feel more appreciated. nursing needs good men.

Contact your local Angiomax rep. They gave our institution a CD on proper technique of sheath removal and manual pressure. The RN's in our CCU pulled all the shealths that came back to us. It is a great resource.

I actually feel I learned more from the online course. Having to write about what I read helped me to retain more from each chapter. I would recomend it over the traditional classroom setting. Some people that I have talked with are concerned abou...

I don't like the group thing either, but I have some unfortunate news for you. I have already taken some online RN to BSN nursing courses (and am now switching to another due to expense) and they still make you do group assignments. You just have t...

I have served in the Air Force for 16 years now. 11 years as enlisted and 5 years as an officer. I can answer a few questions for you, but the more detailed questions will need to be answered by your commander or first Sgt. You do not need to sign ...

Others have said this, but let me say it again. What a great find this discussion group is. Thank you in advance for your help. I have already quite a few pages of this forum. A lot of my questions have already been answered, but I have a few tha...

Thanks, I'll do that. I havn't done that yet because my biggest concern has been if I would have the money for living expenses. I'll do that and post a thread for FYI. I do have patient contact, but it is periodically helping a new nurse understand ...

Thanks for your help. My work offers a preaty standard contract (from what I've seen in this form), 20K plus tuition... The co-signed loan would be the ticket, though I would need to see if I could find one without the co-sign required. I have a f...

Thank you. It does help alot, although I am a little disappointed. I had hoped that teaching critical care classes and working with the new critical care nurses with their patients would be an added plus. Do you think if I did some PRN on the side...
