3. Frontier Class 148

   Just waiting patiently and thinking that every new incoming email could be the one. Surely by tomorrow we will know something since we will be approaching the 6 week

4. Frontier Class 148

   racingmurse320q replied to racingmurse320q's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   My email that I have states that notification will be made 6-8 weeks from Frontier Bound date. That would mean somewhere around mid-late January hopefully. Oddly enough 8 weeks would be Jan. 4th,...

   racingmurse320q posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Anyone applying for Frontier class 148? I've turned in all of the paperwork and application for FNP and now playing the waiting game. I haven't found another thread specifically for this class but if...

6. Give me the good and bad of Chamberlain

   racingmurse320q replied to YoAdrienne216's topic in Chamberlain College

   Wyoming is a traditional 16 week semester. All classes are online, no clinical component. The classes can be taken one at a time or you can double or triple up if you can swing that with work or other...

   racingmurse320q replied to YoAdrienne216's topic in Chamberlain College

   I can vouch for University of Wyoming, just finished my RN-BSN on Friday. I live in Kentucky found that the program was still rather affordable for me compared to other similar programs and the "for...

8. Is this legal?

   racingmurse320q replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

   I would be interested in seeing other replies on this issue. The occasional 3:1 for a nurse in the unit happens, but daily for over half the staff seems unacceptable. It's a burnout/compassion fatigue...

9. If you are not a nurse, do NOT use the title, please

   racingmurse320q replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

   I've been saying this for a while. I appreciate my nursing assistants for what they do but I do not appreciate it when they call themselves nurses or see people I know who are NA's call themselves...

10. Back to ICU from clinic job

    racingmurse320q replied to racingmurse320q's topic in General Nursing

    I really feel like the 5 days a week of clinic life and the monotony involved is burning me out. I actually worked in ICU yesterday and it was absolutely insane, not because anyone was crashing, but...

11. Back to ICU from clinic job

    racingmurse320q replied to racingmurse320q's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. Money really isn't the issue because I'm getting paid roughly the same as I did in the hospital. There is an itch to go back because I enjoyed the hands on aspect of it all and...

12. Back to ICU from clinic job

    racingmurse320q posted a topic in General Nursing

    Background: I took a job right out of my ADN in the ICU, a job that I dreamed about through school. After I got there I realized it wasn't all I had made it out to be in my head even though I loved...

    racingmurse320q replied to blueorchid981's topic in Critical Care

    I've got 2 more shifts of orientation and then I'm on my own. I feel like I've gained a lot of confidence through the orientation process but I know I've got a long way to go. I've already had run ins...

14. How different is ASN vs. BSN?

    racingmurse320q replied to parkj9's topic in General Students

    I really think its ultimately a program by program type of thing. In my area we have a community college and a University that both offer degrees in nursing and in this particular case, the CC has a...
