    Chatham vs NOVA DNP program

    Lunah replied to deediaz's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yeah, I would have to take their NUR 697 once because I have 317.5 hours between my two MSNs. If I am accepted for Fall 2018, I would take that course in the summer semester

    Transfer Credits for MSN-FNP?

    Lunah replied to Lunah's topic in Chamberlain College

    Just theory and research - my two least favorite classes at least, haha. But just to be clear, I didn't finish the FNP MSN - I ended up switching to the Nurse Educator

    Lunah replied to griffinbe's topic in Excelsior College

    How satisfied are you with nurse educator or APRN career?

    Lunah replied to elephantlover's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I find that being a hospital unit educator is a great way to have the best of both worlds. I do a lot of education and I also get to do some patient care.

    Lunah replied to Exhuasted's topic in Emergency

    Can you shadow in your ER? Is your hospital a trauma center? If you can deal with constantly shifting patient priorities and lack of initial diagnosis, you might enjoy the ER. It takes a curious mind...

    Military critical care nursing

    Lunah replied to Jleb886's topic in Government, Military

    SANE on call pay

    Lunah replied to Sabadudu's topic in Emergency

    I was active duty Army as a SANE - so zero additional compensation or call pay. I definitely got the short end of the stick on that one! I believe for my civilian counterparts, call pay was 10% of...
