    U W Milwaukee

    SHGR replied to Gabino's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The BSN-DNP is mixed online and classroom. Post-MSN completion is online only. You are right, it is an intense level of education! Personally I feel that part-time work is the best way to go for...

    SHGR replied to Gabino's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Transition of Care - how are you doing it??

    SHGR replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can speak to this from the PCP end. We are able to run a daily report of our clinic's patients who were discharged from our main hospital the day prior. One nurse runs the report daily. We don't...

    Should I take a job that pays less in order to be home at night with my child?

    SHGR replied to kathrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A patient population you love...hours that make sense with your life vs those that don't...reasonable commute vs. Hour each way (how much is that commute costing you?) Seems like a simple decision to...

    Educate me about LinkedIn - please!

    SHGR replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Nursing Career

    LinkedIn is kind of a nice tool (although I use Facebook for what LinkedIn thinks it's for...networking and the like). It is like having a public resume. I've been legitimately contacted and gotten...

    SHGR replied to mickeyD2489's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agreed with the above poster. I think overall you convey very well your passion, background, and rationale for pursuing FNP. Two phrases that struck me "emotionally" as being possibly offensive to...

    White pants concerns

    SHGR replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in Men in Nursing

    Flesh-toned is the only way to go IMHO for wearing underneath white pants. There is a fairly recent thread about this in one of other sections. They do make lots of colors for women...if you have...

    Based on a cursory look at the school's web site, the program at SJSU looks like their MSN might be a CNL program. It states "The curriculum develops specialists in advanced nursing practice, with...

    PEDS CNS exam to be retired Dec 2015

    SHGR replied to traumaRUs's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    TraumaRUs, I'm in Wisconsin. It's a weird time. CNS used to be "senior nurses," now everything seems to be about the CNL, at least on paper. I haven't seen any CNL positions though, and many looking...
