  1. Current nursing student...but what to do after my BSN?!

    priorities2 replied to Jay Q's topic in General Students

    If you're in it for the money, CRNA's by far the best route. If you also have job satisfaction in mind, you should learn about the variety of different NP education options (MSN vs DNP, part time vs...

  2. Be careful what you divulge

    priorities2 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    For those of you saying you figured out someone's identity from their posts - how'd you manage? With so many thousands of nurses and nursing students, I'd need a dead giveaway (e.g. pic or link to...

  3. DNP residency - does it reduce the benefit of RN experience?

    priorities2 posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Specifically, I'm looking at OHSU's psych NP program. They offer a 2-year didactic masters with 680 clinical hours included. Optionally, a student could continue onto their DNP after their MS-NP,...

  4. Sorry, but no..:

    priorities2 replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    I get that the emphasis on customer service can seem contrived or be frustrating, but it's semantics. Therapists often use the term clients because the clients come in for a weekly therapy session and...

  6. Advice for requesting a reference for summer nursing internships?

    priorities2 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm applying to summer student nurse internships. One of my references needs to be from my current clinical instructor. I think she likes me alright and I have no choice but to use her anyway. A...

  7. So which school DON'T make you find your own preceptors?

    priorities2 replied to Road2CNO's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with the previous two posters. Also, you don't know what the landscape will look like in 1-2 years when you are starting the clinical portion of your online NP program. Who knows if the...

  8. Best schools for DNP-psychiatry?

    priorities2 replied to DrZaphod's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    OHSU looks like a good program, though the DNP year is pretty much all residency so it may be irrelevant if you've been practicing 5

  9. Do I have rights? libel per se

    priorities2 replied to KristenHuerta's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, except you probably don't even need to say that it wasn't a good fit. If you're pregnant that's reason enough - you decided that it would be better to stay home at that

  10. Muslim nursing students

    priorities2 replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    I wear a long sleeve shirt, matching color, under my scrub top every day. I really don't see how this could be an issue but you should talk to your school to understand their

  11. Johns Hopkins MS-NP/MPH

    priorities2 replied to hanoi98's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Okay, that makes sense. I guess I think a standard MPH curriculum would be similar to the theory portion of a DNP. However, MPH is more established of a

  13. Johns Hopkins MS-NP/MPH

    priorities2 replied to hanoi98's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't mean to side-bar your topic, but what is the difference between an MS-NP/MPH and a DNP? What would be the practical and academic

  14. Need Advice: Accepted into One School.. Wating to Hear from Another

    priorities2 replied to shuccrn's topic in Advanced Practice

    Unless you can convince school A to extend the date, you probably just have to pay the fee. It might help to think of it in terms of part of the cost of your education. We can't always control these...

  15. How many hours do you study a day?

    priorities2 replied to losilva95's topic in General Students

    I study about 2 hours per day, though I'm taking a couple of co-reqs at the same time as nursing school, and am also in the honor's program, so it may be slightly busier for me. They is to be as...

  19. Volunteer abroad during nursing school

    priorities2 replied to lauren_elizabeth's topic in General Students

    x2. Don't let anyone tell you you can't find anything that will fit what you're looking for. I'm not sure why this forum has a tendency to solicit arrogant all-or-nothing responses meant to squash the...

  20. BScN after completing a PhD?

    priorities2 replied to Lily333's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Lily, it sounds like you have a lot to learn about the field of nursing. I attend a reputable public university that employs dozens of RNs who conduct research studies, write papers/grants, and teach...

  21. Is It Typical For Nursing Schools To Not Accept CLEPS & APs For PreReqs?

    priorities2 replied to RosesRed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

    priorities2 replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    Really? They would dock your grade if a patient refused to be treated by a student nurse? Did you actually ask your clinical instructor to ensure that this is the case? Your grade should not be...

  23. This semester is giving me the smack down - failing another test

    priorities2 replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    Pharm tips: You've truly got to explain the concepts. Explain them to anyone, just out loud to yourself. If you can't explain it, you won't know it for the test. Focus on practice questions. If they...

    priorities2 replied to NeoNurse2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
