  1. another chiropractor thinking of RN then to NP

    Sippie replied to djh2003's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think if I had a pre med history, a bachelors, and was not already an RN, I would do a PA program, a MD or DO program, or a Anestheologist Assistant program (I like this option) The Ultimate site...

  2. Planning early - advice would be appreciated

    Sippie replied to fetch's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you have an RN and a BA in something else, I believe there are some RN to MSN programs out there that you could do. I think Vanderbilt used to have a RN to MSN program but there are others. This...

  3. CRNA GPA

    Sippie replied to barnicleyak22's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I took more sciences after my BSN. They were not graduate courses. I took gen chem 2, organic chem 1 and I am now in org chem2. I took physics 1 and now taking physics 2. I also took bio 2 &...

  4. Doing favors or giving gifts for patients: Unacceptable?

    Sippie replied to tariqblaze's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would do personal favors in certain situations but I would be discreet about it. Say, if you bought someone something don't give it to them in front of the other patients becausse it might make some...

  5. 200 job applications and no interviews can you help me with my resume

    Sippie replied to nikihuff's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    On my resume under the work experience, I always put the position title first then the dates, place of employment etc. You don't really have to put your gpa in the cover letter. You could put honors,...

  6. Increased nurse staff levels tied to lower odds of Medicare readmissions penalties, s

    Sippie replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nurses have more time to actually teach with less patients. I'm not talking about one on one but say in Med Surg, you have 6-7 instead of 10 with no nurses aid or only one aid for 40 patients etc....

  7. I regret forever not going to medical school

    Sippie replied to nurse2dr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know med students in their 40's and 50's. 28 isn't old. I would sit down and figure out what all pre req's you need and also you have to figure in how much time to finish your bachelor's degree. You...

  8. Accepted to the first school I interviewed at, but still interviewing at others

    Sippie replied to BlondieRN0912's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wouldn't tell them unless they specifically ask you if you've accepted anywhere else. Interview at all the schools that you really think you are interested in. Then pick the best one for you based...

  9. I think I'm just DONE.

    Sippie replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why is she taking pics of your butt in the office? She says it is to prove your skirt it too short. This is completely unprofessional and could borderline on sexual harassment...just something to...

  10. Will my original GPA from first degree come back to haunt me when applying to NP?

    Sippie replied to Medic362's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you get your gpa up to 3.0 you should not have any problems getting in somewhere. If there is an essay or personal statement on the NP application, you could write an explanation of your grade...

  11. NP school + full time job + family...Is it doable?

    Sippie replied to ambi_dextrose's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When I was in my entry level BSN program (brick and mortar-so had to be there on campus), I had a newborn and 2 toddlers. I also had a part time job. The only reason I could do this is because I had...

  12. When can you shadow a CRNA? And how did it go?

    Sippie replied to diana10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The first time I did it, I got to sort of 'shadow' a CRNA during my med surg rotation in school. I was lucky to get to see quite a few surgeries as a student and this awesome CRNA, one day, just kinda...

  13. CRNA nursing students who are over 40 and dismissed from their programs.

    Sippie replied to Peggy F's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wonder why srna students over 40 are getting hazed? I have quite a few friends in med school or just graduated and they all have remarked that the nontraditional (40 and even 50 yrs old) students...

  14. New Grad looking for job in Jacksonville, FL

    Sippie replied to EMB0010's topic in Florida Nursing

    The best thing to do is to call those hospitals you are interested in and ask HR directly. I know several BSNs - both new grads and experienced in the Jax area that can't get jobs. I think this is...

  15. Online graduate-level pharm, phys, patho classes

    Sippie replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am not sure about individual graduate level courses in advanced pharm or advanced patho but Barry University has an online 695 level Intro to Anesthesiology course that covers some of the basic...

  16. FNP syllabuses and book names

    Sippie replied to nurselove757's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would also like to see the syllabus and book list if you do get it. I am not a Chamberlain student yet...just considering what options are out there for a MSN FNP online program. Does anyone know...

  17. Chamberlain FNP program

    Sippie replied to Lonlai84's topic in Chamberlain College

    I guess that would be doable if one had to attend for only one weekend. Does anyone know how much experience as an RN you need to be admitted to the MSN FNP program? I don't see anything listed about...

  18. Chamberlain FNP program

    Sippie replied to Lonlai84's topic in Chamberlain College

    I am thinking of looking into this program. I don't know anything about it yet. I am in FL. The main concern I have is about where our clinicals will be. I am thinking we would probably have to find...

  19. Ultimate question LPN or RN

    Sippie replied to leroymon's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would just go the BSN route. You could always pick up a Certified Nurses Aid and work while in school or wait until you finish the Med-Surg course in your BSN program and then some hospitals may...

  20. Inactive Nurse Seeking Help in Tampa,FL

    Sippie replied to Chillima's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would definitely go with a refresher course that offered a clinical component and make sure it is approved by the FL Board of nursing. If you check the community colleges, they often have refreshers...

  21. First Informal Interview as an MSN-Ed

    Sippie replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats, I hope you find a great

  22. How long should a person work as an RN before becoming a NP?

    Sippie replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in Florida Nursing

    It is definitely possible to become a NP even younger than 30. It seems like most NP programs require you to have worked as an RN at least a year before becoming a nurse practitioner. I have seen a...

  23. courses or certifications?

    Sippie replied to aachavez's topic in Florida Nursing

    There is a Stroke Certification that you can get from the National Institute of Health (NIH) for $10. I have noticed a few places have started requesting that their nurses have it if they work in...

  24. Florida nursing shortage?

    Sippie replied to ufo8micats's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hmm I'm on over 3 1/2 acres in FL and I can still hear the neighbors

  25. Hospitals illegally firing nurses for refusing flu vaccines

    Sippie replied to AQEELSMOM's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What about visitors to the hospitals? They could spread the flu too. How about the mailman and people dropping off and picking up supplies etc. What about the patients themselves? They are offered the...
