1. This statement is disturbing. He said that she wasn't knowledgeable. She presented herself to patients and parents' knowledgeable. And parents would believe her because how she presented herself. There's a saying that says people have confidence i...
Whether you're a nurse practitioner, a PA, or a physician, we get more proficient and confident as we go. Should this doctor be expecting more of you after a few hours in your new role? I don't know, I find it a bit unrealistic. But if his expectatio...

Sounds like your anxiety is out of control. Im glad you'll have insurance that covers counseling next month. When I had insurance issues and wanted to seek counseling I was able to find a counselor who gave Uninsured patients a discounted fee ($20 a ...

I looked at multiple programs. If your current GPA is under 3.0 I would consider another school, unfortunately. Minimum GPA for graduate schools (I would assume) are 3.0 at least. I think it was Northern Arizona University I was also looking at for m...
From what I gather Aspen is not regionally accredited, where WGU is. Also, WGU is flexible , working at your own pace, and you can accelerate as quickly as you like through your program. With that in mind, you may be able to complete your MSN at a lo...
WGU offers alumni assistance with resumes, including shaping a resume for a specific job you are applying to. They also offer interviewing assistance and will help with polishing your Linked In page. Definately take advantage of this. It's a great p...

No clinical hours. A capstone project at the end required 65 hours of self paced community leadership related activities.
I did my BSN with WGU in 10 months, at a rather slow pace actually. I highly recommend it. They're supportive whil...

So far so good! Pathophys and Nursing Research. Beginning week 5 today. Discussions and replies weekly for both. Had a quiz last week in Patho that went so-so, but it was graded on a curve so it was ok. Been super busy with work, unfortunately, and h...
I had no problem getting into my first choice PMHNP program with my WGU RN to BSN. Wilkes University. A representative at Regis also suggested my application looked good, but I stopped my application process once I took a seat at Wilkes.
WGU is g...
I worked 4 to 5 8 hour shifts a week throughout nursing school. I think the idea of working on med-surg on the weekends sounds great! Not only does it leave your weekdays open, it exposes you to healthcare, gives you the opportunity to network for a ...

While you are looking for the new job is it possible for you to Cluster your nights together and get a cheap hotel room near work? The gas and possible tolls alone would probably pay for a hotel room right?

$700/credit plus whatever fees at the moment. So I anticipate $4200 plus fees the first semester with Advanced EBR and Advanced Pathophysiology. At 40 credits, assuming the tuition doesn't increase (which it has been doing) that's $28,000 plus fees. ...

Congrats! I'm getting a student loan. I'm not worried about the cost. Either the first PMHNP employer will have a loan incentive, get a government loan program, or...I figure the additional income after beginning the new career will pay for the loan....
Some courses I was able to take the final exam and test out of, such as care of the older adult. Evidence based research was challenging, it's like learning a new language. But I think any school would require that, and I feel more informed and capab...
