    Landing first nursing job with 3.2/3.3

    Lunah replied to nrsingstudent18's topic in General Nursing

    The military is one of the few employers that cares about your GPA. So unless you're looking to commission, don't sweat it!

    Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    Lunah replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    This is excellent advice! And how long does it take them to pump?! When I was pumping (before my recent cardiomyopathy event and being placed on meds that pretty much killed my breast milk supply and...

    Best way to DNP with a non-nursing bachelor's?

    Lunah replied to Narwhal1209's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Just a thought: a lot of ADN to MSN programs have a point at which students earn a BSN. I would recommend one of those programs as you never know what will happen and you might need to pause your...

    Chatham vs NOVA DNP program

    Lunah replied to deediaz's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I just applied for later admission; I have a five-month-old and I am super busy, but I finally picked Chatham from my list of programs! Chamberlain is also a backup because I teach there and would get...

    This person outranks me?!

    Lunah replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    My own "duh" moment: being in the trauma bay after an ED thoracotomy and ROSC. I can literally SEE a beating heart. I saw some wackiness on the monitor and asked if we still had pulses. One of the...

    This person outranks me?!

    Lunah replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    Being in EMS and the ER, we are masters of appropriate and not-so-appropriate acronyms. Speaking of - has anyone heard "BID" used for "brought in dead?" I was teaching a bleeding control class to...

    Wanted to bounce some ideas off military nurses, USAGPAN

    Lunah replied to easypeasylemonwheezy's topic in Government, Military

    You can enter as a civilian, but once you enter you are an Army officer on active duty. They just allow direct commission as a point of entry for Army CRNAs. You will owe time on active duty when you...

    New grad nurse in the ER & not sure if I'm progressing fast enough.

    Lunah replied to tpnurse95's topic in Emergency

    That is a VERY short orientation, especially for a new grad. Is there a way for you to have more time? Did you have some non-clinical orientation first and now you're on the unit? New grads need a lot...

    online BSN- no proctored exams

    Lunah replied to KRH123's topic in General Nursing

    This is not a prelicensure program, it's an RN to BSN. You won't find a BSN program that is 100% online without

    Chamberlain RN-BSN-MSN

    Lunah replied to Rn-bsnfuturetraumaer's topic in Chamberlain College

    These are questions you should be asking the school. But I do know a lot of people who have finished the FNP there and are now working as NPs. The state acceptance has to do with how certain states...

    Health Differences Across the Life Span 3 Exam

    If you look at the test breakdown, focus on the areas where your scores were weakest. Did you take the EC practice exams? You have obviously done well enough to pass exams in the past because you got...

    enlisted going to officer as a nurse

    Lunah replied to tt..89's topic in Government, Military

    An MSN from an NP program such as the OP mentioned would be OK as well. But you are correct - to commission as an RN, one needs a BSN at a minimum, not an RN + non-nursing
