To become a nurse was not a childhood dream of mine. It was something that I discovered I had a passion for in my early twenties. I had always loved math and science and figured I would become a scientist one day. I fell in love with nursing due to t...

I was accepted into the University of South Alabama for the MSN to DNP adding adult geriatric nurse practitioner program. I was also accepted into the University of Alabama for the Doctor of Education for Nurse Educators. I chose the EdD program due ...

I did an intense amount of research. The program is not online only. The university has five brick and mortar institutions.

Lol! This is why I just ask if they feel like they are going to throw up! I was watching The Big Bang Theory one day and Sheldon pointed that out as well.

I really do enjoy the debate. It was a shock that my writing is really that poor. I struggled in graduate school with my writing, but I made it through the program. As far as patient care is concerned, I am on top of my game. I am sure a sick patient...

I enjoy constructive criticism. Thank you for your input.

What an interesting lively debate we have going! It is interesting to note that my writing is very poor to some individuals. I am not looking to publish in a peer-reviewed journal anytime soon. This was a simple blog article that was created to spark...

I take full responsibility for my actions. I am now seeking a terminal degree from a traditional brick and mortar university in my state. I hope that other people see this and do not make the same mistake that I did. My degree is great for other empl...

Everyone has an opinion and I respect yours. The age old phrase "don't judge a book by it's cover" seems to not be that important when it comes to these "acceptable credentials and qualifications". How can an institution say just because you have an ...

My opportunities are limitless. I have a plan A, B, and C. :) It is just an unfortunate situation for some who have worked hard only to be told your still not good enough. Thankfully my ADN program hired me as an adjunct clinical instructor. This po...

I thought about nursing administration. After speaking with my mentor, she said if I got in it would be best to stay in the FNP track. So I will pursue the FNP with all I have got if I get in.

That is all she said.....I emailed her a question about changing my concentration. Here is the email: Dear Shane, "The Admission Committee has already met and decisions are being discussed based on the concentrations that were chosen. I am afraid it ...

I received an email from a department head stating the admission committee has already met. They are now making the decisions by speciality. Hopefully soon!!!!

Same message for me

I registered an ID but it will not let me login. I will try later and see.

Is it ok to register a blazernet ID? It says I am in the system.

The wait is endless Patience is key! We should hear something next week hopefully!

I earned my BSN through WGU. I am currently finishing my Masters there now. I also applied to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for the summer semester FNP. I should hear back from them in the next few weeks.

Waiting...........blah :)

I am so excited to have this plan in my future. I applied for the FNP at both schools. If I don't get in at UAB, I will roll my application to the Fall and hope I get in at USA for the Fall BSN DNP. I am dedicated! I will give it all I got if I get i...

My associates degree in nursing GPA was 3.5. However, my BSN is through Western Governors University, and they do not really have class grades. You either pass or fail. On the transcript it says all classes are considered B or 3.0 on a GPA scale. I r...

My chances of getting in at UAB are slim. I am a borderline candidate according to their admission criteria. I would be ecstatic to get into their program. If I got into UAB, I would just proceed with them 100%! However, I will cross that bridge when...

I started off in the RN-MSN track. I think I completed about 40 credits before I was awarded my BSN. I originally thought I wanted to go into education full time. After my success in the MSN portion of the program, I realized I could do the Nurse Pra...

It was a very difficult process dealing with the Nursing CAS application. It really only benefits USA because they do not have to deal with all the transcripts and calculating GPAs. I requested two official copies of my transcripts. I had one sent to...
