  1. Become a nurse at 41 from six figures???

    booklovinrn replied to GuinnessA's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I would advise you to think very carefully and talk to as many nurses as possible before you make a decision. I am 51 and have had several careers. I have a CPA, MBA, worked in accounting for many...

  2. UAMS vs. UCA at Conway

    booklovinrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    I really appreciate all the information given on this forum. I have one more question though. I ran into a friend yesterday and she told me that UCA in Conway has the best BSN program in Arkansas....

  3. Much demand for psych NP's around Atlanta?

    booklovinrn posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    I am currently working as a med surg nurse in Arkansas and we will be moving to Atlanta in the next year. I am interested in getting an NP in Psych. I have started trying to look at programs around...

  4. Feeling a little defeated...and exhausted with studying!!

    booklovinrn replied to EgsEes's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi! I took the Kaplan live review course the last week in May and sat for the NCLEX today. I did all the Kaplan online Qtest and QBank questions. On the Qtrainer my scores ranged from 58 to 70 and my...

  5. UAMS 2011

    booklovinrn replied to bmblandford's topic in General Nursing

    There used to be a nursing brochure that you could download that had the curriculum in it but I don't see it anywhere on there to be downloaded. You ought to go ahead and get the informational packet...

  6. UAMS 2011

    booklovinrn replied to bmblandford's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I am just getting to graduate from UAMS in a couple of weeks. It has been a long road. I can't tell you much about acceptance criteria because it seems to vary a lot from year to year. The year...

  7. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    booklovinrn replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Yes. And I believe we should receive an email in the last week of September saying if we got an interview or not. I hope these next couple of weeks go by

  8. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

    booklovinrn replied to satyadhi's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    University of Southern Alabama has a BSN to DNP online program but it requires two years experience (I think) and they don't have the same options for DNP. That's the only other one I know of but I...

  9. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

    booklovinrn replied to satyadhi's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think they are pretty firm about GPA either a 3.0 overall or 3.25 last degree. The rest of the requirements are an essay, references, and an interview. When I asked them about competitiveness for...

  10. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

    booklovinrn replied to satyadhi's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    sorry I just saw this thread. I am a BSN student (older) and am planning on going directly in to a DNP program. I, like you, was torn between psych and family practice because I like both and I feel...

  11. New Nursing Students age 50 and up

    booklovinrn replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    Barinbass, I'm curious about your experience in grad school. What type program are you in? I'm in a BSN program currently (I'm 49) and have no prior nursing experience. I'm planning on graduating...

  12. University of South Alabama Family Psych NP program?

    booklovinrn replied to marilynmom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    catslady, I have sent an email to someone I used to know that graduated from the UAMS psych program about 1 year ago. If I hear back from her and hear anything helpful I'll pass it on. Have you...

  13. University of South Alabama Family Psych NP program?

    booklovinrn replied to marilynmom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    marlilynmom, No I don't work in psych now. I'm still in a BSN program and won't graduate until May 2011. I'm planning to start grad school Aug 2011. I know that is not the best way to do it, but...

  14. University of South Alabama Family Psych NP program?

    booklovinrn replied to marilynmom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    marilynmom, Thanks so much for sharing your reasoning for psych rather than family NP. I share a lot of your concerns about family NP. I am 49 and just getting my BSN now (will graduate in May 2011)...

  15. University of South Alabama Family Psych NP program?

    booklovinrn replied to marilynmom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sorry, I don't have any info on the program you are looking at, but I'm also interested in psych programs and I can't find a lot out there on them. Have you heard anything about the job market for...

    booklovinrn replied to proctack3's topic in General Nursing

    Mh2011 gave some really good advice. I am also finishing up my first year and I would add be very flexible. Your schedule will be crazy and could change. Also if you have children where you need...

  18. UAMS- summer 2010

    booklovinrn replied to proctack3's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is any one class that makes it tough. The hardest thing to me is there are so many different things required and so many different things to keep up with. They give you an awful...

  19. UAMS- summer 2010

    booklovinrn replied to proctack3's topic in General Nursing

    I started there last summer and in our class they did take down to a 2.5, I'm pretty sure. One of the instructors told us that this year though they had a lot more applicants around 400 or so so they...

  20. Question about UALR

    booklovinrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    The economy is making me rethink my options. I was planning to go to UAMS starting this summer (In fact, I've already applied), but now I'm thinking about trying to get in the work force as soon as...

  22. UAMS- summer 2010

    booklovinrn replied to proctack3's topic in General Nursing

  24. Question about UALR

    booklovinrn replied to booklovinrn's topic in General Nursing

    During clinicals it just really depends on the type floor you are on and how the techs are there. On some floors the techs want you to do all their vitals and baths etc and on others they don't. The...

  25. CNA Programs in Central Arkansas

    booklovinrn replied to USAFLoadmaster's topic in General Nursing

    I think Cabot Rehab and nursing home was offering classes. I know at least they used to. I'm not sure if they want you to commit to work there or not but It might be worth looking into. Also In...
