Hi everyone, Im also interested in applying for the PhD in the next application cycle. My research interest is in cardiac- particularly how rural populations can getting manage their heart failure, as well as self care and depression in heart failure...

I have worked about 1.5 years on a general medicine floor and looking at applying to step down floors particularly in cardiac this upcoming spring (April, etc.). I want to know what I can do to prepare myself for this job and learning curve, how to m...

Hi. Im interested in the PhD route. I have two published articles while in undergrad, one of which I am the first author. I'm looking to apply either this year or next year. Im interested in health disparities, rural populations, cardiac disease and ...

Currently, I have a BSN from a top school (no, it is not upenn) and worked for a year and a half on a general medicine med surg floor. I am at the age of 25, turning 26 this year. I was thinking about getting my MPH at UNC first (already applied to t...

May I ask, what do you think about the MPH degree?

possibly. LOL I also have to consider whether I will like the NP role you know? Don't want to be in a job that I don't like. I realized that Im more of a nursing theory person then a patient care person. I have always been interested in the "why" beh...

I guess another concern is about NP jobs? I got into Vanderbilt for AGACNP with only med-surg experience. Back then I didn't know what to do so I applied to acute care. But, its very hard to be hired as an acute care NP without at least step down flo...

I guess the concern for me is like age. I probably won't feel ready to pursue my FNP until 2 more years as a bedside RN so I will be 27 when I go for an FNP, 29 when I graduate. Working for a few more years before pursuing a PhD so maybe I will start...

I wanted to know people's thoughts on a dual NP/PhD program. I aspire to pursue a PhD in the near future focusing on mental health and cardiovascular disease. I currently have one year of med-surg experience as a nurse and i am age 25. I also started...

Thanks for the response. I found out that I wanted to do research when I was in undergrad. My mind works with systems and populations instead of helping people one by one and discovered my passion for public health. After working at a hospital for a ...

Hi Everyone, I am interested in pursing a PhD in Nursing focusing on cardiovascular disease/ public health/ prevention in the near future. Currently, I have around 1 year of nursing experience and by next year- I will have about two (meaning that ...

Would you also recommend MSN-PhD or DNP/PhD programs?

Hi. I am in a 4 year BSN nursing program. So I recently learned that I failed a course on Med-Surg Nursing. Since each course is offered only once a year, I will automatically get et back a year. However, last year, I had to withdraw for a year due t...

I have a question. Which is more related to a med-surg unit in a hospital? A Rehab nursing home or an SNF?

Hey laurellestars, have u had any luck finding a CNA job?

Thanks . Its really scary because the people said that I would most likely fail again if I don't make the necessary changes. I also found out that in able to return to the nursing program, i have to get interviewed to determine if i would be successf...

Awwwwww thanks Im really scared of failing again and then becoming a college dropout... ((

Hi! Usually when one doesn't pass a class, there will be an exit interview involved to explore the reason why he or she didn't pass and how to prevent to do anything like that ever again. To be vague, I failed clinical because of a reason and the peo...

I got your message! I cant respond because Im not that active on all nurses. Im not sure if you are okay if I can respond to your message on this thread.

Where do you attend?

Hi laurellestars, I attend UCLA School of Nursing.

How would having to retake one nursing class look in the job search for new grad programs. All the other grades I got in nursing were A+/A/A- and B+... Im freaking out.

I know that this is a really old thread but I am really concerned. I go to a four year BSN program. I have received As and one B+ in all my nursing classes. However, I have received one C- in med-surg and would have to retake the course. I have also...

Thank you so much! I have had 3Ws in the fall quarter or 2013 ( I go to a quarter system school in CA). I left nursing and took courses in other departments. I cam back the fall of 2014 and I did well until this winter quarter. I learned that I am fa...

I heard that it is getting harder and harder to get into a new grad rn program. With that in mind, if they do not look at GPA and all they need is that you got your degree and passed the NCLEX, is there anything else they look at when selecting indiv...
