Vanesia, I got accepted. I heard last week! I know of some people that are on a wait list. Keep the faith!!!

I am looking for hearing in July sometime! It is nerve racking. I applied to the WHNP. Steph_tracey11 what did you apply for? Abbafather welcome!!

Oh my goodness girls!! I am sorry about this waiting thing again!!! I hope all good news!!! Good luck!!! Hang in there! Is there another number you could call? I would be going CRAZY!!!!!!

Congratulations! !!!!!!!

Wow!!! Hope it is good news!!!!!! Hang in there!!!

No updates here. I did just speak to someone that just got back from frontier bound and she said it was a GREAT experience!

These articles had great information. I may have to do a literature search now!!!

I was at a conference and there was a speaker that is a nurse. He was supporting getting lifts on every bed because a nurse lifts about 1,000LBS in one shift!!!!!!!!!!! (I can see with moving beds, transferring patients, turning patients). He hurt his back on the job and now is unable to practice bedside nursing so he went back to business school and works in the medical equipment business.... (great speaker!!! Eye opening)

The other thing is that when an RN gets out of a hospital to a "less taxing" job, the pay is "less". I keep having the same concerns. I am also looking at a WHNP program. I want to further my education. I am going on the thoughts that when I do get my WHNP degree, I could use it in private practice, education, or research. Am I dreaming????? Thoughts

We are doing a QI project on hypothermia in the or. We are trying to see where the breakdown is, (ie. anesthesia not using warming blankets, rn's not warming the pt before surgery). Any thoughts? We do not use warmed fluids. Insights?

How long after the delivery was the temp taken? axillary or rectal? How about for mom oral or tympanic? I did have an experience once that the mom's temp was low normal and the babies temp was 94 rectal when going to the nursery after a c/s. Same thing, baby did fine warming up and blood sugars. It was freaky. Baby was fine throughout stay. Still stumped by that one.

What about Walden university? They have an FNpractitioner. It is all on line and the application is free!!! They will even obtain your transcripts. .. I was looking into Walden if I don't get into the 140 class. They order your books and everything. I know someone going for IT and she loves it.

Catrpearl I am sorry! !!!#####!!!!!

There is still HOPE!!!
