  1. Advanced Public Health Nursing Certification Confusion

    woofyrn posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    Hey folks! I'm about to enter a graduate nursing program to obtain my MSN and eventually become a CNS dealing with HIV/AIDS as an advanced public health nurse. I want to thank everyone for their...

    woofyrn replied to mwlude's topic in Advanced Practice

    Excellent analysis,

  3. Advanced Public Health Nursing Certification Confusion

    woofyrn replied to woofyrn's topic in Public, Community Health

    Acourie, I'm just wondering if you might be one of the first ones to actually have to submit a portfolio, since January 1, 2014 was the first day this was required. I imagine quite a few (if not...

  4. Advanced Public Health Nursing Certification Confusion

    woofyrn replied to woofyrn's topic in Public, Community Health

    Thanks to both of you for your responses. It seems like a very labor-intensive process for both the nurse and the review panel, but I guess it gives a better overall picture of professional...

    I'm so very, very happy for you jojonavy! That's the best

  6. New BSN graduate to immediately try and get an MSN in Leadership?

    woofyrn replied to learningnsgstudent's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There are near-legendary arguments on these boards about the wisdom of going back to school for your graduate degree without getting experience as an RN. Basically, what you're wanting to do is...

  7. Have Male Nursing Students felt bias during class/clinicals?

    woofyrn replied to Murse Wannabe's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Interesting to hear this is still going on to a certain degree. I graduated in 1993, and the only difficulties I *ever* had was during OB rotation -- and not from patients. Everyone else in our...

  8. UCLA MSN Fall 2014

    woofyrn replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good luck everyone! I am curious to read that the CSU schools have notified applicants of admission status. I have an application into San Francisco State (which was due the same date as UCSF),...

    Congratulations,

  10. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Euthymia, check out Zillow and Craigslist for rentals in the Bay Area. Be prepared for sticker shock -- 1BR/1BA rentals average around $2300 in the vicinity of UCSF, and in much of SF. There are...

  11. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I got an email today that I was accepted into program late this afternoon. Pretty surreal. Thanks to everyone for their kind

  12. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No email yet, website still reads, "Under Review." @angelasolleder, i'm really bummed that you didn't hear better news. I wanted everyone on this forum to get in, because I feel like I know you...

  13. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Shoot, jojonavy.....I wished you'd gotten more hopeful news. I appreciate your letting us all share our anxieties here on this thread. I know further back you said you'd most likely apply again next...

  14. Urine dip=> + blood, negative nitrates

    woofyrn replied to lvan0904's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't think you need to apologize, Ivan0904 -- I (and i'm sure many others) appreciate that you took the time to post, so we can see the different responses and (more importantly) the rationale...

  15. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for the info about UC Davis .... I have a nurse friend who was expressing some interest in the program awhile back, but was also uncertain about the commute (we both live in San Leandro)....

  16. Anybody feels they still wanna go the CNS route?

    woofyrn replied to stepbystep12's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Hi Psychcns! Honestly, I haven't really kept up with the battle (that may even be too generous a term) for prescriptive authority for CNS's in California. As others have stated, it seems the...

  17. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Have a nice weekend everyone! I actually upped my lisinopril because I think i'm stressing out too much over this waiting. (I know....bad nurse). I checked one time only, as I think it's getting a...

  18. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I hear what you're saying, but to think in UCSF's "headspace" (and obviously, this is just my opinion).....they are aiming for a diverse, international cohort that will get the name of UCSF out there...

  19. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congratulations guys! I did go to one of the info sessions and they were pretty specific about having Stats within the past five years. I even raised my hand and asked to make sure, since I've had 3...

  20. Anybody feels they still wanna go the CNS route?

    woofyrn replied to stepbystep12's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    All very good responses, and I enjoy reading everyone's different perspectives. I'm choosing the CNS role exactly because I don't want to be limited/pigeonholed into primary care positions (i.e. NPs)....

  21. Revised GRE-Study and Scores

    woofyrn replied to GamerGal's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I took it the day after Christmas, but (thankfully) San Francisco State only requires a score of 4 or greater on the written portion, and completely disregards the other scores for admission...

  22. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    FYI, the application page now says the top NP programs are now full and closed to admissions. This may have been up for awhile though, and I just haven't checked

  23. UCSF MSN FALL 2014

    woofyrn replied to jojonavy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats on those who got the word! I've applied for the AP Public Health Nurse/CNS specializing in HIV/AIDS, and I'm a little surprised that notifications have gone out -- I figured it would be into...

  24. SF State vs. UCSF 2014

    woofyrn posted a topic in School, College Programs

    So I've decided to take the big plunge and apply for graduate school for Fall 2014. As I live in the Bay Area, I've focused on both San Francisco State University and University of California-San...
