  1. Boston College Master's Entry 2014 applicants

    priorities2 replied to mzaur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey Mzaur. I'm not applying for 2014, but was wondering if you've been to any info sessions or spoken to anyone about the psych track. Is it in-person or online? Do they guarantee preceptors? Do they...

  2. I cannot focus on studying today

    priorities2 replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    Try using a stopwatch, and only have the stopwatch going while you study. That way you know you're accomplishing something every minute that

  3. hours per day

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

    ^^ Agreed. For me, getting enough sleep so I can focus well is pretty much

  4. Deciding between minor or certificate! HELP!

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

    Some schools only have minors, some only have certificates, some have both. Employers will not know the difference. Do whatever interests you. If you're dead set on choosing something practical, maybe...

  5. U of Washington phased out their master-level NP program....

    priorities2 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Am I interpreting their website correctly? This is soooo depressing.... makes me think I should go to NP school directly after graduating with my RN just so as not to risk all the other schools I like...

  6. hours per day

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

    I'm in my first semester of nursing school. I really enjoy tracking things... I've tracked every single thing I've spent for the last 2 years. Just recently, I started tracking how much I study -- I...

  7. Psychiatric NP Questions

    priorities2 replied to luckylady5's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks so much =) Your response aligns with something I noticed. A very experienced psych NP I spoke to - who happens to have his salary published online because he works for the state - only makes...

  8. Psychiatric NP Questions

    priorities2 replied to luckylady5's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi PsychiatricNP, do you find that an employer would hire you to do a certain % therapy or have some patients as your own caseload? I think the perfect balance would be primarily med management but a...

  9. Affordable Care Act- How it affects NPs

    priorities2 replied to ickc22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What falls under the header of primary care according to ACA? The government classifies psych as primary care for the health service corps, as well as midwifery I believe, so I wonder if only FNPs...

  10. Older Student/Over 60 years old

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

    I'm 20, but one woman in my BSN cohort looks about 60. She just retired from a long career and I guess she just wants to learn to be a nurse - it's not for financial need, from what I can tell. She is...

  11. Awkward at interacting with patients

    priorities2 posted a topic in General Students

    So, today was our first day actually interacting with patients on the floor. I just feel like I'm really awkward/shy/never know what to say/always say the slightly wrong thing. I'm really good at...

  12. NP: Still a nurse?

    priorities2 replied to TakeTwoAspirin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A NP I spoke with the other day referred to herself as a "staff nurse" before she became an

  13. Indian IEN Need help in selecting US MSN program

    priorities2 replied to deepu245's topic in Post Graduate Students

    What do you mean by scope? There's ACNP for acute care or FNP for family nurse practitioner. Some schools (Boston College and Vanderbilt, eg) have 12 month programs. Many more have 2 year programs. Do...

  14. Indian IEN Need help in selecting US MSN program

    priorities2 replied to deepu245's topic in Post Graduate Students

    What area of master's program are you interested in? Do you have a bachelor's in nursing? You most likely ned a bachelor's in nursing (in addition to passing the NCLEX), unless you do an RN bridge...

  15. Can some of you share your acceptance to a nursing school?

    priorities2 replied to dayanan715's topic in General Students

    I had a 3.77 overall GPA and a 3.999 science GPA (1 A- in chem lab) at the time of application. I got a 3.0 the semester AFTER my application (so it was not factored in, as I got accepted before my...

  16. Stories of people who have gone straight from BSN to NP?

    priorities2 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone out there want to provide their story of having gone straight from RN-BSN to NP? I'd love to hear from people who have done this, and what their experience has been like.

  17. Youngest person in your cohort?

    priorities2 replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    I'm 19 and I'll be starting in my junior year in fall - I'll graduate at 21 w/ my BSN. I started college actually before graduating HS because of dual-enrollment in my state, sooo yeah. Edit: Just...

  18. Long was your NP program?

    priorities2 replied to mschelee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Boston College and Vanderbilt both offer 12-month, 3 semester NP programs for bsn->msn. I know Seattle U is 3 years for Bsn-> msn. I think it really

  19. Taking general ed courses with nursing classes

    priorities2 replied to hbmc13's topic in General Students

    Depends on the program. At one school I applied to, it was a BSN with nursing courses spread over 3 years, so students were expected to take gen eds at the same time - else they would be only...

  20. What type of rotations did you go through in nursing school?

    priorities2 replied to sevenup0307's topic in General Students

    I just got my first clinical assignment in the mail, and it's in cardiology/cardiac surgery at the school's hospital. Eek! I assume most programs try to give you as much variety as possible,...

  23. Clinicals and religious observances?

    priorities2 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all. Any other nursing students out there from minority religions- have you found that a religious observance is an acceptable reason to miss clinical? I just realized that I have a clinical on...

  24. Pretty sure I blew my grad interview (PMHNP)

    priorities2 replied to Umberlee's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I know the feeling - everyone gets nervous and says the wrong thing sometimes. I'm sure they've seen it before. Plus, it's only one school. There are many more out

  25. Circumcision

    priorities2 replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    Esme12 - I misunderstood the OP's first post. I thought she was just saying she didn't want to perform them as an RN, not that she didn't want to work at a facility that performs them. I agree with...
