Hi NurseJamillah! Yes, I did, thank you! Mine was about the same. It did stall out a couple of times stating they were waiting for documents. When I called in to check on status since everything was submitted they stated they didn't receive cert...

Hi all, I am highly considering applying for Rush University's Transformative Leadership/Population Health DNP program. Any current students/grads of this program on here? Would love to hear about your experience!

Hi Nurse B, it took mine about a month...only because of persistence. They misplaced things left and right and mysteriously found them when I would call and check the status. I probably had to call 2-3 times due to it stalling out and things being lo...

Hi all, I'm an I/D nurse. Where are you all located? There are usually positions posted all over Indeed!

Hello, Previous to nursing school I earned an associates in business administration and a baccalaureate degree in rigorous psychology program summa cum laude. I then went back and completed my ADN at a local community college. One of the most diffic...

Hello all, Wondering how many here have sought CDDN certification? I would like to study for it but am looking for guidance. Unfortunately, the "bootcamp" prep courses are only offered at the DDNA conference once annually. Thank you in advance!

Congratulations! I just started this month in the ADN-MSN program.

Hi Erin, Congratulations on researching your interest in nursing! I graduated from BCC's hybrid program and am fairly familiar with the other ones in the area from when I was trying to figure out where to go. BCC's hybrid program is fantastic as far ...

Yes, please do! I am also considering a journey towards a PhD and would greatly appreciate having easily accessible discussion resources.

Hi perfectbluebuildings! I'm a new grad that will be starting on a similar floor in a month. I don't have any advice for you, but I share your concerns about acuity and resources. I hope things work out for both of us!

I have been hired by a local hospital. The BCC name carries a very strong reputation in the community. Hospital jobs can be difficult to get, but I haven't talked to one graduate that hasn't been able to get a job offer between community facilities a...
