Anyone have advice on how to return to Acute Care nursing after working in other settings? I worked on a Neuro/Oncology/Epilepsy unit for 2 years as a new grad. My last year on that unit was 2017. Since then I have worked in home health an...

I am have been an RN for 7 years now and will be completing my BSN in 10 months, in May 2023. I want to go straight on to NP school in the fall of 2023. The conflict is that my family is planning to move from the US to Canada in Summer 2024. So, I...

That does sound like a good idea, but isn’t an option for me since I will be moving in the middle of grad school. The bill question is: if I start school in the US can I transfer to a Canadian school partway through my program? Or can I continue t...

Hello! I'm a nursing student about to graduate in a few months and considering my long term career prospects. I have family in two cities: Austin, TX and Seattle, WA. I live in Austin now, and love it, but it has some downsides as far as nursing ca...

Thank you, Daniella! A couple of questions: You mentioned that you know some CNM's that had to find work in Portland. Do you think the job market is tough in Seattle or they just got better offers in Portland? It's pretty important to me to stay in ...

Heya! Sorry, this question is a bit far ranging, and I'm not sure if I'm posting it in the right place. I am about to finish my prerequisites for an ADN program, and am a bit lost about my next steps. My plan was to get my ADN, and then work as an R...

Hello! I've been planning on eventually obtaining an advanced practice degree from the moment I began considering a nursing career, and have spent a ton of time trying to decide which specialty to pursue. At this point, I have 8 months left until I ...

Hey! I just wanted to follow up on this post. I can't believe it's been 2.5 years since I posted this. So much has changed. I am in my 2nd year of the ADN program, and should be graduating in December of this year. I am still at a loss to decide...

OK. Now has anyone gotten the go ahead to register? I turned in my criminal background check the day I got my Next Steps letter. No word back yet that I can register!!

Just got it! I'm in CEC!!!

Yeah, they gave me the same date. I don't know if they will be letting us know campuses in this one, but they are supposed to be sending something today anyway!

Can't be that in my case. I just started skills (I'm in the 2nd 10 week session). Still checking every 10 minutes!

Hey guys! Anyone received their "Next Steps" letter? I responded to my acceptance letter on September 26th, and they said we'd be receiving another e-mail by the 16th. Well, today is the 16th, and no e-mail yet! I just tried to call the office, bu...

I just got my Spring Acceptance!!! 61 points on my second application cycle. jena5111, I'm curious, how did you have 62.74 on a second application? Had you taken skills during the first half of the summer? Anyone have any thoughts on campus choic...

Just registered for skills! Lots of role playing, huh? I'm not too worried about that. I am a bit concerned if there is a heavy homework or study load, though. I am taking BIOL 1406 and MATH 1314 right now. My biology teacher is terribly disorga...

I have 61 points. This is my second application, though. Can't imagine I won't get in this time, but afraid to say the word "definitely" (knocking on wood at thsi very moment). Got a skills petition in August but couldn't take it due to the course ...

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Intro to Chem is not so bad, so far. Unfortunately, my hands are a bit tied as far as dropping the other classes. I am a single mother and I need financial aid money to help pay expenses for my son and myself. If I ...

Ugh! I keep checking my inbox, and nothing yet! I have 56 points this time, so doubt I will get in, but am anxious to find out. I am eligible to register for Fall classes tomorrow! I have a question for you guys. I got the Nursing Skills petition...

Just got my score report, and I did get a 56! I doubt I'll get in this Fall anyway, hopefully I will in the Spring (Spring 2014). I second the advice of nickasarbata. I am using my waiting time to knock out credits I'll need for my ADN-BSN transit...

I just took my HESI today, and think I am all lined up to turn in my application in a couple of weeks for Fall 2013! I tried to figure out my points based on the info. on the website, but am not sure I'm doing it correctly. It's: (Nursing Plan GPA ...
