   Oh, sorry, maybe I misunderstood your question? Last summer our orientation was on Aug 26 and lasted a half day. I don't think we found out until July though, exactly when it was going to be. I'm...

   Thanks bme_rn2b! I'll have to pass that info on. As for our student cohort, if I am remembering correctly, there are 63 of us total. I think that about 10 of us are men and the rest are women. We...

   Hi bme_rn3b! I am glad my loooong post helped! I may not be the best person to answer about the pros and cons of this program though, as for me, having no intention to move, it was my first choice...

   Hi cokoro11 and brynrawr, I actually do know quite a few students who manage to work part-time through this program (10-15 hours), though as a mom, I am not one of them! And I have owned a home for a...

   Congratulations guys! I am a current student nurse in the U of MNs MSN program, and I remember well being in your place one year ago. I know we all had a million questions about what to expect back...

    evyviggy posted a topic in General Nursing

    For those of you working Med/Surg who would prefer days, how long did it take for you to get a day shift position at your hospital? I've heard it's easier in this role than in others and I'm hoping...

    Oh my goodness, I feel so silly. I needed to check my U of MN email, not my regular one. So far it's just been lots of emails telling me to get shots so I have mostly been ignoring

    I haven't even gotten my registration email yet so you're ahead of me there! It has been pretty annoying though. Submitted my immunizations over 3 weeks ago and just finally heard back on them...
