Hi All, I'm new to this thread, I'm also in the BSN to DNP for Fall '17 AGPCNP . Does anyone know how the classes are offered, is it one class at a time for 6-8 weeks or all the classes at once.

I understand that my advice is not among the popular. I also understand new grads and finding a job, if he/she is flexible and is willing to relocate there are jobs out there to be had. Advising someone to stay in a nursing position that he/she is mi...

He/she does qualify for a new grad residency in some cases, it's too bad you feel that he/she is a "flight risk" because the environment that this hiring manager is in charge of creating is not nurturing for a new nurse. You're not guaranteed that so...

I say go for it, do it while you're young. I have a 23 year old daughter who's graduating from nursing school this May and she's going to take the Summer off to do some traveling in the US and Canada. I did advise her to do it now before she starts w...

taylorthompson, University of Alabama (USA) has a BSN-DNP Spring '18 start as well, you may want to look into their program, you have to apply thru nursingCAS, I'm hearing that they are a little more forgiving about the GPA, the deadline is in July s...

Hi taylorthompson Sorry to hear about the mix up, that must have been confusing. Did you see my post about their recommendations? you can try taking the GRE and do well and that will increase your chances of getting in. Send an email and ask what the...

I got my rejection letter yesterday, I was already told by email last week. I'm waiting for George Washington, which I'm not very confident about since they put more weight on the GPA than MUSC. They recommend taking some classes to bring up my GPA o...

I sent an email, got a response right away.

Hi All I didn't get in, waiting for George Washington. Good luck to all of you

Hi All I've been checking my mailbox as all of you have, nothing for me. I haven't been on here for a few days, I'm seeing all kind of posts about interviews, emails about financial aid and scholarship, web-advisor for current MUSC students. I haven'...

I just thought I would share this year's ANA theme for nurses' week. It would be interesting to see how hospitals respond to it, when so many practices like coming in on your day off to complete Health Stream modules among other topics explored in th...

I work full time too, my kids are older but still at home (bigger problems). I may have to cut back, but really can't afford to. There is another allnurses thread from a 2016 DNP group, I left a message about juggling the program, life, work etc., no...

taylorthompson I feel your pain, did you apply to any other programs, I applied to George Washington, they extended their deadline 'till April 14, so I'll have to wait even longer for them. MUSC is my first choice. Hopefully by the end of the week, w...

I guess it would depend on where you work, I don't chart at home but my unit is very busy, I never have time to do my mandatory modules while at work, we do get paid for a number of hours they figure out it should take you to complete all the modules...

I applied to the Adult Gerontology NP program, I noticed you applied to the FNP program. I'm not too far from Fayetteville, about an hour. I'm not sure if some of the beginning classes are the same for all specialties. Hopefully we'll run into each o...

I sent you a PM with my contact information. You have to have a number of posts before you can PM.

I work on surgical step-down unit. I work with all new employees on my unit, specifically the new grads, I arrange their preceptorship and other experiences that they need to have to function on our unit, even if I have to go to other units. We have...

Hopefully we'll both get in, and get to meet in the Fall, I'm in the Raleigh area, where in NC are you?

The short answer is yes, if you feel that this is an acute change in your patient's condition, then calling a RRT is appropriate. I had a situation where we prevented compartment syndrome in a patient who had a clotted sheath in place who suddenly de...

SCRN060584, try and let us know. I'm on first name basis with the administrative assistant at the CON, I won't try again. I will wait for my letter in the mail. I'm in the next state over in NC, so it should only take a few days even my snail mail to...

Hi Redvyolet4 It saddened me to hear this, but I know it does exist and nursing school doesn't prepare you for this. I agree with most of the post on their advice to you. Are you in a residency program? usually such programs have someone outside of y...

taylorthompson, I hear that others have been accepted with all kind of scenarios, they really take the whole application into consideration. Your essay and references weight very heavily in the decision. As long as your nursing GPA is decent and you'...

ItsCatRn, I was going to post this today, I was doing the same thing, then I decided to call yesterday, I was told the letters will go out next Tuesday or Wednesday, the Dean has a final "look over" that she has to do before they can be mailed, she's...

Hi All I'm anxiously waiting as well, all nurses was such a support for me when I was doing my BSN degree 2 years ago, I decided to post here. I called yesterday and was told two weeks from this coming Friday the letters will go out, so March 15 soun...
