  1. WGU MSN then postgrad NP cert

    kodc posted a topic in Western Governors University

    Has anyone done the MSN through WGU then done a post grad certificate from another school for FNP or other NP qualified program? Perhaps that would take less than the typical two to three year FNP...

  2. MD to RN program

    kodc replied to Polska's topic in General World

    There's an ADN (RN) program that can be done in 12 months for foreign graduated medical doctors and other healthcare professionals that would like to add the credentials or switch fields. You have to...

  3. Are you the Doctor? (funny)

    kodc replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Pretty funny and light hearted. 😀 I don't agree with the BSN/ADN comment. Earning the degree does make you a nurse. Be proud of that. Passing the NCLEX allows you to be called an registered...

  4. WGU MSN then postgrad NP cert

    kodc replied to kodc's topic in Western Governors University

    I'll be starting the 6/1 cohort in IN for pre-licensure BSN. It will be 2 1/2 years. I currently specialize in chronic brain-based and neurological conditions. I plan to integrate both in future...

  5. Chiro To FNP?

    kodc replied to chiro13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Email me if you like. [email protected] I can give you all the info I have found and perhaps save you a couple minutes time.

  6. Chiro To FNP?

    kodc replied to chiro13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm doing this exact transition currently. Through WGU I will continue to practice as a DCS while traveling to clinicals in IN and sound didactic portion online. This is the pre-licensure BSN. Then I...

  7. chiropractor employee taking blood pressures

    kodc replied to sam1971's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hopefully this will get corrected and is not being perpetuated by the employer. I'm one of those quack chiropractors, as we are so frequently and lovingly referred to in this forum. I had an...

  8. chiropractor employee taking blood pressures

    kodc replied to sam1971's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm curious as to how you make your assertion. How does one actually measure "shadiness"? Really, just yanking your chain. I don't really care how you qualify your comment. It's obvious that you have...

  9. NP full scope/independent speculation

    kodc posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    There are many states (19 at last count) that allow for independent practice. I know this may be purely speculation but what are other states you've "heard" are close to adding themselves to...

  10. Best Neuro Book?

    kodc replied to CCRN14's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    My favorite subject! I'll list a few, with links, I like to review every now and again. No particular order. BRS Neuroanatomy Neuroanatomy through clinical cases The Human Brain: Introduction to...

  11. Know any reputable RN to BSN Online that can be completed in a little less than 12 mos?

    kodc replied to Kit.Kat's topic in School, College Programs

    It's your business so don't feel the need to respond. This is not meant to be argumentative. I'm just trying to understand. The WGU program is a competency based, pass/fail program. All the other...

  12. Ideal diabetic diet?

    kodc replied to Libby1987's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Archaic advice, in my opinion, is lazy and irresponsible. Your body doesn't read the text. It takes more than a cookie-cutter approach; that takes work. Good on you for keeping yourself in line. I'm...

  13. Ideal diabetic diet?

    kodc replied to Libby1987's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Not all carbs are created equal. For someone to throw out a certain number w/o qualifying a breakdown may be looking for failure. I agree with Allison, everyone will be different. Having said that you...

  14. Prison security clearance

    kodc replied to miss.savannahk's topic in Correctional

    You will have a background check. They will have you fill out a personal history and choose to call/interview people you list as well as people associated with previous employment and schooling. They...

  15. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    kodc replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for your advice, Ozzy. You're right, the post didn't start off this way. After being chastised at my original response because I didn't know what I was talking about I felt that I needed...

  16. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    kodc replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry to return to this. But since we're correcting folks her and all, your statement of "do matter" is correct because she writes the subject as "one thing" is actually a false statement. Again,...

  17. WGU MSN then postgrad NP cert

    kodc replied to kodc's topic in Western Governors University

    Thank you, Jess. That makes a lot of sense. Since I'm just starting the program I don't know if I fit into the "speed demon" category. So I'll keep it on the table, now seeing that what you pointed...

  18. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    kodc replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I sense a little finger-wagging here. A few things to note: I never once stated that I haven't experienced this. To add to that neither did I denigrate her experience. If you go back and read my...

  19. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    kodc replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. And, thus my post.

  20. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    kodc replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is only true of they are both singular subjects. However, being that the forward slash is used between I am assuming she is meaning grammar AND spelling, which would make it a plural subject. In...

  21. Passed AANP today!!!

    kodc replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations!

  22. Pending DWI in TX

    kodc replied to nursinghereicome27's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Just a thought - I'm not sure where you are in your schooling process. But if you have classes to take that may fulfill some of the requirements take them while you're waiting. You'll be that much...

  23. Moving to Chicago

    kodc replied to Jleonardo005's topic in Illinois Nursing

    It only took a few weeks for my wife's license to transfer from GA to IL when we moved. Perhaps it was a month. It wasn't very long, though. One word of caution for what ever you decide - stay on top...

  24. NPs working with chiropractors

    kodc replied to mystcnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's very unfortunate that whatever experience with a chiropractor you may, or may not, have had has gotten you so upset. I understand where this might be a problem. When I was a teen I had two very...

  25. Is WGU for you? Class preview

    kodc replied to dreamer30's topic in Western Governors University

    Great find. Thank you for posting the videos.
