Hi fellow NPs! I'm a new NP graduate and just accepted a job in California. I'm now in the process of applying for my CA furnishing license. For those with experience, do you know how long it takes to get the license once the BRN has received your a...

I worry that MSN programs don't include enough clinical hours. I think it should be mandatory for NP students, like medical students, to have a residency of 1-2 years. It would definitely ease the transition from student to competent provider. I look...

Yeah I graduated from a school on the East coast so I guess that's what would make them not grant me the CII part. Did you do the CII course? Was there an exam you had to pass? I'm sure all the CA schools have these requirements already built into th...

If my employer if offering malpractice coverage, what additional coverage should I consider getting? Should I request a copy of the malpractice policy?

I see...so how do they evaluate your course to make sure it meets that Controlled Substance II requirement? It just seems so tedious to do all these measures. So this link here (http://www.rn.ca.gov/pdfs/regulations/npr-i-16.pdf) says that: The NP au...

Thank you for sending that link! It was really helpful. My program director mailed out the Advanced Pharmacology verification form. Sooo...I'm assuming she read all the requirements attached to the form and determined my Advanced Pharm course met the...

I took my ANCC exam in October 2014 and passed on the first try. I studied for a little less than 2 months. I used several different methods to study. However, out of all of them, the best study materials were the Leik book (it has about 600 question...

@ Anie76- hey, I'm not the administrator of the facebook group so I can't accept your request to join but the girl who is should accept it soon. Congrats on getting in!

Congrats to you guys!! Please join the group on facebook, there's a lot of info on there that's helpful :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/280886818645195/ @Stacy- I found out via e-mail the same day as my interview. If they told you they would give ...

As far as the health insurance requirement goes, I guess it's more for Jefferson to cover their back legally to make those requirements rigid. My insurance right now is really affordable (no deductible!) so it would really be a pain to have to switch...

I sent a request too, hopefully it'll be an easier way to keep in touch :)

@ Steillare- Niki sent me the same e-mail and I replied with my SSN but never got confirmation so I tried calling her several times but to no avail. Sigh... As for health insurance, I currently have coverage thru IBX-KHPE. It's less than $200/month ...

Yeah that was my issue too, no SSN on file. But I logged on to the banner web and it took me to a page where I could enter in missing info (i.e. SSN) and then it said it would take 24 hours to generate the key. I did this Monday evening but when I tr...

Is anyone having difficulty getting a campus key? I've called Niki Kelley, a few admin assistants, and the IT department several times and either no one picks up and/or they cannot assist me. I haven't been able to access Pulse or my Jeff Mail yet. I...

I was accepted to Villanova's BSN Express program and waitlisted at UPenn but I decided to choose Jeff over Villanova. The pros for Villanova were that it was very short commute (15 mins), a great overall school, they also just renovated the nursing ...

Thanks guys! Also, when is the Accepted Student Reception? Niki Kelley mentioned it to me in the interview but didn't specify the date. I live locally so I'm up for the coffee get together.

I just got accepted!! I had my interview today and received an acceptance e-mail a couple hours later. I'm so relieved but excited at the same time :) Now I just need to get started on that pre-matric list LOL. Best wishes to those who are still wai...

@ nishtari- I could not find that particular information on the website so that's why I was wondering. thanks for the advice!

Oh ok, that's reassuring! Does anyone know how the program runs in terms of class schedule? It is a M-F deal or are weekends included in the program schedule? Just curious to know.

Thanks nishtari! How soon after the interview did you receive a decision? I know second round applicants can receive a decision up until March 1 but I hope it's sooner than that!

aww don't! The admissions process is not very clear esp. because we have to go thru a middle-man (NursingCAS) to submit everything. I think this is the first year Jeff used NursingCAS so they are pretty new to the whole system, which makes it confusi...

@ barbiemafia-- I spoke to Niki Kelley a week ago to verify that she received my updated transcript showing my pre-req grades from Fall 2011. Jefferson didn't send me an e-mail asking for these grades so I sent them myself to NursingCAS. These were t...

@ barbiemafia- My application was submitted at the very beginning of the second review. I spoke to Niki Kelley about a week ago and she informed me that they were just starting to review the second round apps. Does anyone have any advice for the in...

@ lmnovak3 i called niki kelley first thing in the morning because i had sent nursingcas an updated transcript including my fall classes. she mentioned that they try to wait for all or most of the pre-req grades to come in before deciding. she s...

hey everyone, I was just wondering if there are any of you who are still waiting to hear back. All my application materials were submitted by early November. Would it hurt to call Niki Kelly and ask her the status of my application? I'm getting more ...
