It took between 2 to 2.5 weeks to get my TPP. I was able to see it online a couple of days before I got it in the mail. I received my PA licence about 2 weeks after my TPP.

For anyone who has the same question. I did received my TPP before they received my official transcript.

I have an active license in another state and I have an interview for a job in PA next week. I sent my application for license by endorsement with TPP over a week ago, and paid for the license verification with Nursys. Today I received the form I sent to my nursing school for an official transcript in the mail (I put the wrong address). I re-mailed with the correct address today, but it will be at least another 1 to 2 weeks before the board gets the transcript now. Will the board send a TPP without the school transcript?

They accepted all of my transfer credits. I only needed to take a math and their nursing courses. I started in January.

Taking 2 classes is busy, but manageable. I added Statistics so I'll have 3 classes in the Spring. I won't finish until March 2012 because the last 2 classes must be taken in separate semesters after all other courses are completed. But I do like the classes.

I just want to thank you Juan. You are such a thoughtful contributor to this forum. I always enjoy reading your informative posts and I know that you have probably helped many people with your contributions. .... sorry OP, didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Based on your future career goals, I would not leave the public health position. You may obtain contacts there that will assist you in finding/obtaining your dream job. The general consensus seems to be that you will gain your experience while in graduate school. Choose good preceptors! Again, don't quit your day job. If you want a little more variety, choose a GOOD preceptor! Good luck!

That's exactly what I did. She gave me her contact info and I mailed my resume and cover letter. I will not call again. I feel good that I did that. I would not have called if the employee hadn't suggested it though.

A current employee of the unit gave me the contact info and suggested I call.

I'm applying for a position at a different hospital and was given the nurse managers contact information. I submitted an application online but I don't want it to become lost with the others. Should I call the nurse manager and express my interest? I was also going to mail a cover letter and resume to the nurse manager... Is this in bad taste?

I've been an RN in Tele for 4 years. I'm doing RN to BSN now. I'd like to send in my app, references, transcripts, and essays when I get this semesters grades in April, but I'll still have 6 classes left to finish. They will be all done by December at the latest. My overall Gpa is greater than 3.0 and my ADN Gpa is 3.67.

I'll be registering next week, and just wanted to see if anyone had any direct experience with this course.

I am Trying to figure out when to send out my applications to grad school. I will finish my BSN by December, but may accelerate it to graduate in September. I really want to start a program in January 2012 so I can graduate by December 2013. Is this possible?

I just started this month and have 2 classes. I work FT hours and have a family, and so far so good. Yes, there are quite a few assignments, discussions, and papers but if you are organized you'll be fine. I really like the program, and am happy I made the decision to go there.

When the governor issues a weather related State of Emergency, you are NOT allowed to call out at my hospital. But, they will make arrangements to have someone pick you up if needed.
