  1. ANCC Cardiac Vascular Certification Exam

    NucRN replied to beekee's topic in General Nursing

    I had leadership questions and a few questions on PAD/Claudication. Concentrating on those sections helped me out a bit. I tend to wing things like my certification exam and NCLEX without much prep...

  2. ANCC Cardiac Vascular Certification Exam

    NucRN replied to beekee's topic in General Nursing

    I studied for about 6 hours using the mometric studyguide. I have been working on a cardiac/tele for a little over 2 years, so my experience did help. The book does cover most of the subjects

  3. PhD or DNP to become Faculty?

    NucRN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yes, PhD nurses do focus on research, but much of their research is related to education. I find that PhD nurses do get more "respect" when it comes to education....(Heard this from an Acute Care NP...

  4. Faculty and Professors not teaching?

    NucRN replied to PediatricRNTX's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    A program may have Associate Professors (those w/PhD) "teach" a course, but they are primarily there to change a course content or develop a new course curriculum. The assistant professor (MSN) are...

  6. National University SD BSN Cohort 45

    NucRN replied to bluenyker's topic in School, College Programs

    Wow! Cohort 45!? Graduate of cohort 21. Good luck to all who got in. I remember the process and how stressed I was then. Just a small tip for you guys...form multiple study groups if you like but make...

  7. New Grad Jobs

    NucRN replied to 07courtney1993's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Heard someone say the VA is really short

  8. OHSU ABSN-MSN/DNP Midwifery 2016

    NucRN replied to apenze's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You can apply before the prerequisites are done, but they have to be completed before the program

  9. OHSU ABSN-MSN/DNP Midwifery 2016

    NucRN replied to apenze's topic in Oregon Nursing

    MSN and DNP students take the same core courses. DNP students normally take an extra online 700 course. It definitely is more time consuming to do the DNP, so don't even consider working full time and...

  10. OHSU MSN Applicants 2015

    NucRN replied to hakhama's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Just want to give some background information for those that got accepted into Ohsu and another school. I'm a native Oregonian. Some things to consider is cost of living. It's definitely cheaper to...

  11. Nursing Specialties with a Slower Pace and Less Patient/Family Interaction

    NucRN replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    Clinic work is the best. The pay is not as high as hospital work and the benefits are not so great as well, but the work and environment is definitely more laid

  12. Help me understand the different types of NP programs (ACNP vs FNP etc)

    NucRN replied to nfdfiremedic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    An ACNP program will allow you to have clinical rotations in various specialties such as the ones you mentioned. As such, you could potentially be working in a more specialized area. FNP programs...

  13. Is it true that patho, pharm, and adv assessment are weed-out classes?

    NucRN replied to nursejl1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Patho, pharm and Heath assessment is built into my program, although the school does allow a student to take it ahead of time. I definitely would rather take these ahead of time. Taking pharm and...

  14. Cardiology Nurse Practitioner Outlook

    NucRN replied to nurselyfe4115's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Job outlook should be good. In the NW, there's a limited number of cardiologists for so many patients. Mid level providers are needed to help manage chronic conditions like heart failure. I've worked...

  15. When is D5NS IV solution given?

    NucRN replied to nursejl1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just went over this stuff in pharmacology. D5 is definitely given for NPO status. I also agree with changing combinations based on

  16. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    NucRN replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I actually put my two weeks notice in when I got accepted to grad school. My employer asked me to stay and work part time with hopes of me working for them as NP when I pass my exam. I am sure your...

  17. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    NucRN replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Definite hot topic with lots of opinions. I enjoy reading these comments, even if some are less positive than others. Good luck to those who still wish to pursue a graduate

  18. DNP is Time Consuming

    NucRN replied to NucRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oregon health science university. The program outlines are on the website for each program. The best thing you can do now is to take pathophys ahead of time. That will make your first term

  19. DNP is Time Consuming

    NucRN posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I graduated with my BSN in 01/2012. I seriously did not devote a whole lot of time to my studying and school definitely was not at the top of my priority list. Now I am back in school, pursuing my...

  20. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    NucRN replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think I am a good test taker. Wish I was a good test taker. It just means I was able to learn how to do a thorough head to toe physical assessment and do it in a way that allowed me to get an...

  21. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    NucRN replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a relatively new grad (01/12). I only had 6 months of med/onc experience and have been doing Anticoag management since then. I am currently in an acute care DNP program and just finished my first...

  22. Nurse Practitioner

    NucRN replied to jessco88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    DNP vs MSN. I think the question is similar to ADN vs BSN. Today, we see hospitals that prefer to hire BSNs over ADNs. I think the same will happen with NPs. I ran into an NP that said the same thing...

  23. Student loans in grad school

    NucRN replied to OBigdog26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I finished my BSN in January 2012. My son was 2-3 years old during nursing school. Now I'm back in grad school and my kiddo is 5. Federal loans cover most of my tuition per semester. I have a little...

  24. only guy in my class

    NucRN replied to _shymiller's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's all about your own professionalism my friend and how you are able to develop a therapeutic relationship with your patients. When I first entered nursing school, I had similar concerns. My class...

    NucRN replied to ryguyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees
