Runman1914 MSN, RN

ENP network is a waste of 90 dollars! I NEVER received a single response from any preceptor on their list!

I'm almost finished with the RN to MSN nurse educator route at Aspen. It will be 16 months total for me. They have recently changed their courses from 10 weeks to 8 weeks. So you can probably do it in 18 months or less depending on how many courses y...

Thanks. I will definitely do my home work on this.

Thanks for your input. I will look into it. I'm finishing my MSN in nursing education in September and have been talking to South university regarding their FNP program.

Thanks Mary, I plan to start the FNP program with South University this fall. I'm finishing my MSN in nurse education very soon so some of my courses should transfer thus reducing my overall cost.

Hello Rod. Thanks for the informative post regarding SU. I'm currently in a MSN program with specialty in nursing education. I'm finishing it soon and considering SU for FNP. I see you're finishing soon. If I double up on the courses how long will ...

I will be graduating from Aspen with my MSN in September. Feel free to contact me anytime with questions. So far my experience with Aspen has been good. The program has not been hard but it is time consuming. I'm single with no kids so I'm able to ta...

I have been a nurse for over 20 years. I currently work in Miami. The hospital is in an area where we get a lot of Cuban and Haitian patients. I have been at this hospital for 6 years. The patients and families we get are so very respectful of nurses...

I have been a nurse for over 22 years now. In the last few years or so I find myself having to attend more product and pharmaceutical in services than ever before. Also many more mandatory educational in services. It's always one product replaces ano...

I think you're right

It's not too bad. Just for future reference you can contact me here for questions or at my NEW email address [email protected] That old email address was giving problems. :)

You're welcome. 3 essays a week per course with one to two discussion post depending on the course. It's not too bad . I find most of my information online quickly for the essays. I just had to learn that APA format. If this old man can do it you...

lol yea that means 1500 words. It's usually 3 essays 500 word minimum per essay. I emailed you back. did you get my email? Been having problems with my yahoo account.

It's really not as bad as it sounds. I started the program in June of this year. I have been out of school for over 20 years. It seemed over whelming at first but it's very doable. So far the program is going good for me. I'm currently taking 3 cou...

I agree with you for the most part. I have worked in areas of Florida where people certainly come from money and nurses are considered servants. I have worked with white people that come from rich,poor , middle class and it's still the same demanding...

You are SO right Maggie! I have done missionary work in many Latin countries and it's simply amazing how respectful they are to nurses. They are also very grateful for every thing we do!

I'm currently doing the RN to MSN program with Aspen. So far my experience has been good. The instructors have been helpful and my academic counselor calls to check up on me. I'm almost done with the BSN portion. Feel free to contact me any time rega...

I'm in the RN to MSN with Aspen online. Just finished my first 2 courses. 17 more to go! Any grads from Aspen out there can tell me how jobs are now with their MSN? Thanks:up:

Unfortunately i had the same experience at most Florida hospitals. My worst assignment was Del Ray medical center aka Hell Ray and Death Ray!! The charge nurses were totally useless. I was taking 8 patients on day shift. The charge nurse would ...

I did 10 years of travel nursing, most in south Florida. Please be advised South Florida hospitals are notorious for dumping big time on travelers. Best advice i can give you is to SPEAK UP!! At anytime you feel like you are being dumped on while ...

The absolute worst area of Florida is the Palm Beach area. Those people are a collection of the rudest, most complaining, demanding pts/families i ever dealt with in my 19 year career. Also as a travel nurse you are given the most difficult pts ...

This is sooooooooooo very true!!!! I did 10 years of travel nursing with about90% of my contracts in Florida. The hospitals in Florida abuse the travel nurses BIG TIME!!!! Run like you never run before in your life!! You might get lucky and fi...

Delray Hellray was the single worse travel assignment hospital i have ever worked in my 19 years of nursing!! I simply could not believe in an area full of millionaires i could not get basic supplies for pts. I would wait tables at a restaurant ...

I did 10 years of travel nursing from 1999 to 2009. About 90% in South Florida. From my experience Florida is not the best place to do travel nursing. By far the worse part of Florida was in Palm Beach county. That county had the worse pay, wo...

I did a travel assignment there about 4 years ago. I started there with 11 other travel nurses. Only me and one other nurse finished the contract. It was a nightmare!! In 10 years of travel nursing i NEVER canceled a contract but i came very c...
