Thanks I just spoke with the counselor and she said they do not accept nursing classes from other RN-BSN programs. She even said an appeal wouldn't do any good because they will not consider. It shouldn't be hard to pass, its just that I have to d...

I'm very introverted too I find that working nights require less interaction. Patients are a little less chatty because they are tired and families are at home. Nurse managers and other health care members ie ot,pt and other testing personnels are ab...

Is this for WGU?

Hey commuter,. I know that you've just completed your BSN with WGU. Will you do MSN too with WGU? I'm about to start the BSN with WGU and was wondering if I should go straight into the RN- MSN with them

I have the same question too. I'm on a Telemetry floor and I want to do psych too

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely check it out.

No failures for me and passed the NCLEX on first attempt. I could barely afford the Program and tortured myself by studying non-stop. I was a nervous wreck in nursing school. For nursing one's first test , I failed and I resigned from my job of 5 y...

The most you'll get is a sign on bonus. If you have acute care experience or specialty, you can get a bonus from a hospital offering it for anywhere from $3000-$10,000. I was looking at places with the bonuses and often these are places that a lot p...

I agree

Is the UTA PMHNP an online program ?

hey i know its well over 2years since your original post. Are you still at Delray?I'm looking into their behavioral health unit.

I wish you well.

I'm so sorry to hear. I dont think terminations are reported, At least not in my state. I was fired once for being excessively late. Since then i've worked on this bad habit somewhat . I dont get to work early but i'm always on time now. Whatever the...

I have 50K in debt too between my car and student loans. I plan to do travel nursing at the end of this year to get rid of my debt.

I have never heard of tax home before. I guess i'll do some research on it. I plan to move to Florida for fall 2015 for travel nursing but currently resides in NJ. Should I use NJ as my tax home or can i use my mom's address in Florida?

Everywhere you go there are issues I guess. The maximum ratio for my tele floor is 6. Most nights I have only 5. I guess its not bad. But I plan to move to Florida because I want to be close to my mom. Not having family nearby is about to make me "...

i drink a maximum of 2 cups. Anymore and i'm jittery

I think there are many opportunities for psych nurse. Ie. Psych case manager, detox facilties, inpatient psych,mobile reponse and stabilization/ crisis intervention, corrections, state psychiatric hospitals,

You should be able to as a matter a fact you should be able to use it anywhere. Its a certification not a license. Its not like a nursing license which requires reciprocity. Certificates ie.ACLS, BLS, med surg certification. Etc can be used anywhere

I changed from journalism to nursing and I made it. Practicing RN today. Best wishes.

I was scared of the science. I was a journalism major and all I knew was how to write papers. I studied hard, made flash cards, memorized, used mnemonics

The schools that you were accepted into, were they online or land based schools. Which schools are they?

I learnt in iv class bevel up. .. I'll try this

Which online schools have you looked at? I'll be starting my RN-BSN with WGU next month. My eventual goal is to become a PMHNP. I've been looking at Drexel university in PA its online, with the exception of the last 4 semesters you have to go in for ...
