  1. Trying to decide between accelerated BSN, entry-level MSN-NP, and ADN

    chartreuse replied to NorthBeach's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have to chime in because I feel that some of these responses (in many other threads, not just this one) are incomplete or have inaccurate info. There are different masters programs that offer you a...

  2. Kennesaw State University ABSN Fall 2014

    chartreuse posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Hey everyone, I haven't seen a thread for those of us applying to KSU'S ABSN (or even traditional) program and thought I would start one. I am taking the TEAS pretty late (early January) and will have...

    chartreuse replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Anonumous666, I think you should have listened to me. maybe next

  4. What program to apply for?

    chartreuse replied to GuiltyLove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are indeed programs that offer a MSN for students with a non-nursing degree. A CNL is not an advanced practice position. If someone wants to become a NP after a CNL MSN, there are certificate...

  5. New Grad needs job in Atlanta Metro area

    chartreuse replied to terri8's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Congrats Terri8, I'm sure we'd all love to hear about your

  6. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    chartreuse replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, it seems like you might as well stop following this thread. Online forums can be great, but they can also be a huge pain in the rear, especially when people don't take the time to read your...

  7. Which path should I take to become an RN?

    chartreuse replied to Catherine Stickles's topic in General Students

    Yes, look into specific programs you are interested in and see what courses they require before signing up. I haven't seen any in my area that didn't require anatomy and physiology and microbiology,...

  8. Private loan and no co-signer

    chartreuse replied to Davis.M's topic in General Students

    I thought I would say that I'll have much more than that amount of debt when I'm done and while I am worried about it, it is the best decision for me. I am starting on the path to become a nurse...

  9. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    chartreuse replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think it's much ado about nothing to care about the future of your profession. Anyone pretending they operate in an isolated bubble is

  10. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    chartreuse replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I certainly don't apply the common sense argument to the intricacies of diagnosis and treatment in practice. From my latest research on the topic, outcomes from NP providers have passed the muster...

  11. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    chartreuse replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's called common sense. Just because something doesn't have mounds of data behind it doesn't mean you can't logically compare facts and come to a conclusion. A program that thoroughly vets its...

  12. Tell us your career path after leaving the bedside.

    chartreuse replied to chartreuse's topic in Nursing Career

    I like your lifelong learning plan! And I didn't mean "leaving the bedside" as in never working near it again. I'm not sure of a better generalized way to describe career paths other than staff...

  13. Tell us your career path after leaving the bedside.

    chartreuse posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am curious to see what career paths other have chosen that have taken them away from the bedside/direct clinical care. After reading many posts detailing the prevalent problems with management...

  14. MSN - can anyone reccommend an online program?

    chartreuse replied to Nurse Blondie's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This applies to lots of areas in life, as well. And the search bar will point you to many threads with good

  15. Is a ponytail appropriate for a possible interview?

    chartreuse replied to nurse_starlight's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've never been a subscriber to the belief that hair needs to be back and away from the face for an interview. I've almost always had my hair down and curled because I feel most confident that way. It...

  16. How long did it take you to do your prerequisites?

    chartreuse replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I already have a bachelor's but had zero pre-req sciences completed. On top of that, I wasn't sure which type of program I would apply to (PA, direct entry NP, ASN/BSN/MSN) or which school, so I had...

  17. Seeking Advice About Jobs

    chartreuse replied to LMH2687's topic in General Nursing

    This. And also, a bird in the hand... Always give yourself options and in this market don't turn away a good job in a department you know you like. Best is the enemy of good, or whatever that saying...

  18. Georgia board of nursing

    chartreuse replied to xoamieelou's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've tried calling this office three days in a row and the line goes straight to busy each time... Does anyone have a working phone

  19. Ten Tips for New Grad Nurses

    chartreuse replied to JayPeacock's topic in Nursing Career

    I've been told agencies don't work with new grads and want 2 years of experience before working with you. Yay or

  20. I got a B in Chemistry!!!!!

    chartreuse replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! I took chemistry 1 & 2 within one semester and it was awful! I got my first C in chem 2 and I really thought it would hinder me getting in to nursing school, but it didn't. Your grades...

  21. English speaking nurses in France

    chartreuse replied to samalexander's topic in International Nursing

    Oooh I took 6 years of French and I'd love to eventually/finally put it to use! I'm interested in hearing more about your job and how you got

  22. Any other BSN students thinking about applying to NP school?

    chartreuse replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    ThePrincessBride, I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. I am speaking of direct entry masters level RN programs, NOT direct entry NP programs. If you're saying that generalist MSN nurses...

  23. Any other BSN students thinking about applying to NP school?

    chartreuse replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    My post was in reference to ThePrincessBride's comment about employers not wanting to hire grad entry RNs. Whether she intended that to mean what I interpreted it to mean or not, this statement was...

  24. Why the NP degree will be the next MBA with 7 simple, quick reasons

    chartreuse replied to chillnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    Good points. Do you have any solutions to propose? I think change would have to come from the top- stricter requirements for programs and licensing. Also, I see the demand growing for NP due to baby...

  25. Any other BSN students thinking about applying to NP school?

    chartreuse replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    I don't understand the hate against grad entry/direct entry RNs (not talking about Direct entry NP- that I can understand a little better). My program is a masters level pre-licensure (non-nursing...
