  1. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2014!

    grandpaj replied to NY1984's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Corri, I'm in the same situation. I'm in Tier 1 with over 200%. The wait is so frustrating. I'm in Missouri if that helps, not sure if it's going state by state or

  2. NELRP 2014

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still under review as well, keeping my fingers

  3. Proud to be in scrubs??

    grandpaj replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I personally hate wearing scrubs. What gets me are the people who wear scrub tops with jeans in public. I can just imagine the rationale leading one to that decision: "this shirt has pockets! It's...

  4. Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

    grandpaj replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    No one likes me at work!!1! Is it because I'm smarter and prettier than everyone

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    Mine says "under review"

  6. NELRP 2014

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    That's about my ratio as well. Makes me wonder if I made a mistake on my app somewhere, although I went through it carefully several times before

  7. To those without a 4.0 (rant)

    grandpaj replied to Jasonat6034's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a 3.7 GPA from a previous degree and the nursing advisor at the school I attended all but told me I wouldn't get into the program without even looking at my transcript, despite admissions being...

  8. NELRP 2014

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any way to find out if your application had errors if you're denied? Lots of staff RNs with a lower DTI than me have been awarded, which is fantastic for them, but I'm starting to

  9. Stethoscope Engraving?

    grandpaj replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    I did the same labeling with a fall risk bracelet and mine hasn't disappeared

  10. Stethoscope Engraving?

    grandpaj replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    I had a nice Littman engraved with my initials and it was stolen by a resident about six months after I graduated. Engraving doesn't protect your investment, though it might help to identify it if...

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    The table is on page 12 of the application

  12. NELRP 2014

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know, that's how salary is calculated, although my information is from a friend who received the award last year, not an official

  13. Is there a line floating?

    grandpaj replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, hospitals should have a "cluster" of similar and/or appropriate units that are fair game for floating. ICUs, tele, med-surg, etc. It's really the best approach for safe patient care....

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like lots of people are hearing things, which is exciting! I'm in tier 1 with >200%, and freaking out a little because I'm still under

  15. Should I go to pinning?

    grandpaj replied to DeepBreath's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I went to pinning, but it was free aside from the $40 we paid for the pins. I skipped the school's commencement ceremony, and I haven't regretted doing so. However, if I'd had to pay $150 to attend...

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone else heard anything this week? I'm in tier 1, but still under review,

  17. Seeking experiences with bookrenter.com

    grandpaj replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used an international edition of my A&P book for half the price of the new US text. When you're paying $150 for a text on a student budget, it makes a huge difference. As far as the text...

  18. Seeking experiences with bookrenter.com

    grandpaj replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would do at least a week before and after classes, just to give you some wiggle room to accommodate shipping

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    Still waiting, too. Trying to wait more patiently than I have been. :) Congrats to all those who were

  20. Seeking experiences with bookrenter.com

    grandpaj replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used them a few times when I was in school a couple of years ago. Never had any problems at all. Just use their shipping labels to return the books and drop at a USPS location prior to the end of...

    grandpaj replied to RebeNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the information! How many total clinical hours are required? Did you have a hard time lining up preceptors at

  23. Best place to sell textbooks?

    grandpaj replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    Bigwords.com has always been my favorite site - you can compare the costs of buying or selling used texts with many different online retailers with shipping costs included. It has come in handy more...

  24. My First Patient Death

    grandpaj replied to krisiepoo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've had situations so awful with dying patients and families that one can't help tearing up a little. The key, however, is to pull yourself together and be able to provide the emotional support the...
