  1. Simmons College - FNP March cohort

    PNW_NPstudent replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congrats pacnwRN!! Welcome! And true, if there was nothing in your letter saying your offer for full enrollment is contingent of you completing XYZ, then you don't need to do anything

  2. Simmons College - FNP March cohort

    PNW_NPstudent replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you don't hear from them, you should call or email student support to sign up for a

  3. Aspiring CNM Pre-Nursing Student: BSN route or non-nursing degree to MN/CNM route?

    PNW_NPstudent replied to loverofall's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You do realize that a CNM is a nurse? And that you have to be an RN before you can be a CNM regardless of the route? Why not look into midwifery programs (CPM) if you don't want to be a nurse? I...

  4. Simmons College - FNP March cohort

    PNW_NPstudent replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Milobri- the Biology course wasn't incredibly time consuming. It's a 2 credit hour course. I put in about 5 hours a week on it outside class. The most time consuming thing is the case studies, but I...

  5. Simmons College - FNP March cohort

    PNW_NPstudent replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Terese- This is the first week of classes. I'm taking Advanced Pathophysiology (4hrs) and Advanced Research Methods (3hrs). My Patho live class was a solid 2 hours. Between reading, doing the online...

  6. Simmons College - FNP March cohort

    PNW_NPstudent replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Bio was a good refresher for me. I graduated in 2005 and no biology since prereqs over 10 years ago. I was a bit miffed about it at first too, but knew I had to suck it up. I got back into the swing...

  7. Simmons College - FNP March cohort

    PNW_NPstudent replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Terese, I'm in cohort 3, same as Tasha. She's FT, I'm

  8. Simmons College - FNP March cohort

    PNW_NPstudent replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, your $650 deposit is credited to the tuition for the Bio class. I took out a Sallie Mae student loan for $1700 to pay for the rest. Talk with the Nursing@Simmons financial aid guy. He is great...

  9. Simmons College - FNP March cohort

    PNW_NPstudent replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry, I misunderstood what you wrote as a cry for help. Lol. I seriously doubt they will give it a second thought if it is slightly over. . The advisor would know better than anyone. Good

  10. Simmons College - FNP March cohort

    PNW_NPstudent replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Terese, Hit a few good points about where you've been and why it prepared you for where you are going. Your CV/resume should paint most of the picture of your previous experience. As required, I...

    MILOBRI, I took Biology. It was about

  12. Unionized vs Non Unionized hospitals

    PNW_NPstudent replied to sungrl01's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Depends entirely on the hospital. There are plenty of places with unions, like where I am now, that are phenomenal for nurses and

  13. Anyone live in a picky state?

    PNW_NPstudent replied to rnkaytee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    sad day. Sorry to hear that. I ended up talking to the board and was told that it is a simple application and certain assurances need to be satisfied for the board. Sad that none of the places you...

  14. Shoreline community college or UW?

    PNW_NPstudent replied to pikkia's topic in Washington Nursing

    I would personally go for UW. Employers around here are becoming more keen on hiring BSNs. If you desire a BSN in the future, it would probably be less expensive to do it first rather than doing a BSN...

  15. Nursing School changing criteria to pass classes

    PNW_NPstudent replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    83, but I'm in grad

  16. Is it ever full time work?

    PNW_NPstudent replied to amzyRN's topic in Agency Nurses

    Contract and travel are definitely different. When you do straight agency shifts, no hours are guaranteed except maybe 2 hours if you get all the way to the facility and get cancelled. Contract work...

  17. Anyone live in a picky state?

    PNW_NPstudent replied to rnkaytee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm wondering about this. Have you been in contact with the WA DOH Nursing Commission about your situation and school? As far as advanced practice licensure is concerned, requirements state: the...

  18. How much???

    PNW_NPstudent replied to jodyangel's topic in Travel

    Be extremely leery of low wages like $8/hr. Say if you were making $30/hr before and dropped to $8, it could flag your tax return. I have a friend that got hosed by the IRS for this. Also, that will...

  19. Part-Time NP Programs: Opinions?

    PNW_NPstudent replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I, too, think it's odd to take only 1 class at a time for many years on end. I'm going part-time, but 2 classes this semester then mostly 3 classes per semester after that. Program length for...

  20. Honor Societies

    PNW_NPstudent replied to olvr00's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Try Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing.

  21. Continuous CVP and infusions

    PNW_NPstudent replied to RN RN RN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Why is a continous CVP needed? How is the order for CVP written? How often do you chart it? Why not run whatever you need to run and hourly turn off fluids to take the

  22. Looking to transition out of ICU

    PNW_NPstudent replied to sugarmagnolia3's topic in MICU, SICU

    I wanted the same thing. Went to IR and it was a relief. In addition to the devices used for transfers, there is always easy access to 3 other people to help. Also, many of the patients are ambulatory...

  23. How much???

    PNW_NPstudent replied to jodyangel's topic in Travel

    It's been almost 3 years since I was a traveler, but what you are quoting was on the very low side of what I would take for my hourly pay. In addition, I would get between $1200 and $2000 untaxed per...

  24. New grad travel nursing.

    PNW_NPstudent replied to nicolesn1986's topic in Travel

    It would be a miracle to get an actual travel nurse position for someone with no RN experience. Bonnie is totally right. You have no idea what you don't know. You will be amazed at how much you learn...

  25. Simmons University School of Nursing FNP online program

    PNW_NPstudent replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Who else do you have? What about a nurse educator or the person that oriented you for your current position? I wouldnt automatically go for all MDs, I've talked with admission committees and most said...
