I've had the same questions linger in my mind for quite some time. Not sure how the academics would look at an MPH over an MSN. With that said, I know plenty of nursing professors that opted for an MPH over MSN and went on to Doctoral studies. I thin...

Hi: I am currently researching the area of palliative care in the U.S. I have run into a lot of literature that talks about the topic abroad (Britain, etc...), but not a whole heck of a lot here at home...for you experts out there... Is there such a ...

as some of you may know, i am relocating to your good ol' state mn soon! i am looking for a good rn to bsn program. i am looking at 2 schools, bethel university and metro state. can you guys please give me some feed back on these 2 schools. any comme...

Strandy: thank you for posting. I hope it goes better for me at Bethel than you....gosh, that must have sucked that they lost your transcripts!!!! I started the program 2 weeks ago, and you are right, I had to take CWC (Christian and Western Civili...

Snowbiggie!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for posting....I am so glad I ran into you on this board...I will PM you! :)

I think you may have misinterpreted what the post was asking for. I am not looking to do a program all over again, just get my BSN. Bethel is a private christian college so they do tend to me somewhat "traditional" and conservative in their views. I...

yes, bethel is a christian school with the bsn curriculum focused not only on clinical focus, but spirituality as well. that really sparked an interest in me and was excited about interconnecting both topics into my nursing practice. hodge, does this...

congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! i am so excited for you...you sound like a person who is going to go far and you will do great!:balloons:

thank you all for replying! Yes, metro has a rn to bsn program and bethel has 4 yr and rn to bsn programs as well. the u of m does not have rn to bsn programs, that sucked, but oh well. i was thinking of bethel, it is expensive, but i though it was ...

Thank You Brian!

come on guys, someone's gotta know or say something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, very well put Mike. Nice reflection, haven't really thought about it in that way.

You've got a positive attitude. My last bedside position sucked. They changed managers and the manager decided she didn't like the head nurse that had been doing her job for the past 6 years. She replaced her with another nurse. After about 2 years, ...

I'll take what I can get!!!!:) It is nice to be able to speak to someone that has had such a great experience...I wish I were you my friend. I WISH I didn't feel the way I do, but unfortunately, I have not been exposed to the great people you have. ...

We all have our different opinions on things and that's the way it should be. Its nice that people have differing views on issues; that's what makes debates so great. My posting was not meant to get you to "buy" into my opinion. I just posted my opin...

Personally Pete, I agree with you 100%. Many women are catty, why....because they personalize things...take them to heart. Men aren't that way, they look at something, think about how to change it, hash out any differences, come to a conclusion, and ...

From my perspective Tweety, I don't think the poster you directly responded to was wrong. A lot of WOMEN are the pettiest, cattiest people. Yes, we can be! And it really doesn't matter what profession you are in...My husband took a group of clients t...

What's your opininon? Do you think that a nurse practioner or CNS in cardiology should be experienced in critical care?

Hi Sharon: what type of master's are you pursuing? What do you want to do? HOpe it is ok to ask!

I'm not sure just yet....I was just wondering what the norm is...and it looks like some posters say it depends on what you actually want to do with it. I used to work with a Resp/med-surg floor nurse. She did 1year of floor work after a bsn and then ...

Hi Spazzy: Haven't started to look for a job just yet. My hubbie and I will be taking a few months off to get acclimated and familiar with our new home and the state. That goodness that will be able to do that. After that, I'm not sure what I'll want...

Oh no!!!!! We are loosing another one!!!! Just kidding pk! Much luck to you in your move to Virginia. Keep in touch with us when you get there and keep posting in our Minne board, 'cause there's no else to talk to but a few others!!!:chuckle

Hi Spazzy!!!!!!!! Haven't chatted with you in a while. Thanks for posting. I'm not actually going to be living on a "lake". I'll be living in big lake township. I'm hoping that jobs will be a lot more accessible...I'm hoping your right (about having ...

Bets: thank you for sharing your thoughts and posting a response. Yes, I know what I want...and you are right, now I will go out and look for it. Thanks for the luck, I'll need a little of that and a lot of prayers too!:)

Someone, please give me some insight. I've been an rn for 7 years. I started out on a step-down cardiac unit. I loved heart patients. I did it for 5 years. I hated the beauracracy that went along with hospital nursing and that's why I left. I side tr...
