2. University of South Alabama Nurse Practitioner Summer 2013 Admission

   gambron replied to gambron's topic in Post Graduate Students

   For any graduate program, GRE scores generally need to be over 1000. I know they just changed the GRE scoring so you'll have to check what the new standard is. FYI USA does not require GRE

3. USA fall NP acceptance packet question

   gambron replied to RachelLee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Are you referring to the University of South Alabama? If so, they don't tell you anything. You do get an email stating they received your package. I'm a current FNP student there and got my acceptance...

4. Frustrated! Should I give up?

   gambron replied to sjc2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Unfortunately, your situation is not unique. There are tons of new grads flooding the market, which makes it more difficult to find a desirable job right off the bat. My only advice to you is to work...

5. Oh please, just let me vent!!!

   gambron replied to mc3's topic in School

   I just want to thank all of you school nurses for what you do everyday. As a parent and an RN, I have a great deal of respect for you! It was a school nurse and a smart bus driver who saved my...

6. nursing salary caps

   gambron replied to twinner05's topic in Nursing Career

   It is for this reason that I joined the military. I worked on a civilian CICU for a few years and only got a $0.25/hour raise in that time period. I realized very quickly I wasn't earning a fair wage...

7. Struggling to complete online RN-BSN

   gambron replied to BSNbeauty's topic in School, College Programs

   The BSN part typically covers more theory and management stuff, less clinicals. I did the BSN online and thought it was harder than the ASN because of the writing. You'll be ok...just make sure you...

8. flirting with patients

   gambron replied to bowelcareconsultant's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   No, that's gross and ethically wrong. Your patients are vulnerable when receiving care. Do no

9. Fastest Way to NP

   gambron replied to drmark's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I'm fairly certain you won't find an online NP program unless you already have an ASN. Even though you're a chiro, you don't possess nursing skills that you'll neeed for the NP program. Why don't you...

10. Homophobic nurse?

    gambron replied to LVNbayarea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First of all, I'm sorry you and your partner had that negative experience. A lot of people in the world are JERKS, but it makes me especially crazy to hear that nurses are rude to ANYONE in their...

    gambron replied to gambron's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It took 6 weeks from the application deadline to get the acceptance letter. I know a couple of people who went through this school and they're great practitioners. Sorry, about not getting into the...

12. I'm having second thoughts

    gambron replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I totally agree with missnurse01. This is my 7th year practicing as a nurse and no one has ever cared where I got my ASN or BSN. They just want to see my valid state license. With that being said, I...

13. South Alabama Accelerated BSN/MSN program July 2013

    gambron replied to jensen.laurac's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't know much about the program itself, but I have worked with a few people who have gone through it. All of them are excellent practitioners so I thought I'd take a chance. By the way, it took a...

14. Bad Grades???

    gambron replied to God'sLittleNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm concerned for you because you write, "I was also struggling with some other issues (eating disorder, self harm, depression, family issues)at school 3 , but that is a whole another story!" If you...
