  1. Grand Canyon University DNP Program

    RNRy replied to Midge66's topic in School, College Programs

    I am enrolled in the DNP program. I’m currently in my second course, and my experience, thus far, has been great. GCU is not for profit and regionally accredited, and the DNP program is CCNE...

  2. DNP before NP cert

    RNRy posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I have my Master's Degree in Nursing Leadership/Management. My end goal is to become a doctorate prepared nurse practitioner. I am starting a nurse executive DNP program this fall. After I complete my...

  3. MSN- Leadership: will I survive?

    RNRy replied to KellyBSNCPN's topic in Western Governors University

    I completed my MSN under the "old curriculum" which from what I understand, has changed quite a bit. During my prgroam, all of my assessments were papers except for 1 proctored exam. I don't think...

  5. MSN- Leadership: will I survive?

    RNRy replied to KellyBSNCPN's topic in Western Governors University

    On a scale of 0-10, my writing is probably a 7 or 8. I did my MSN immediately after my BSN, so that greatly helped with my writing abilities, APA formatting, etc. The rubrics and exactly what they...

    RNRy replied to KellyBSNCPN's topic in Western Governors University

  7. Aspen University MSN

    RNRy replied to nenurse1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Great price, and while the nursing program is CCNE accredited, the school as a whole lacks regional accreditation. I'd probably steer

  8. Grantham University vs WGU for RN to BSN, anyone graduate from Grantham ?

    RNRy replied to Salmo23,RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Grantham University lacks regional accreditation and CCNE or ACEN accreditation, while WGU has regional accreditation and CCNE accreditation. It's a really a no-brainer; WGU is the winner. If you are...

  9. Is CNS masters program a bad idea for regular RN on hospital floor?

    RNRy replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I don't think it will hurt you in the least. With so many hospitals being Magnet accredited or seeking Magnet accreditation, the more master's degree-prepared nurses, the better it looks for the...

  10. Shut off 102+ questions and I know I got last question right!

    RNRy replied to ScaredpotentialNURSE's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hope you passed!!!! However, I want to clear up some mass confusion about the exam. It doesn't matter whether you got the last question correct or incorrect. If the last question you answered was...

  11. Describe your ideal coworker

    RNRy replied to AbigailJo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My ideal co-worker is a team player, refrains from workplace gossip, and does not bring personal life drama into the workplace. I don't care if co-workers know about my personal life or

  12. Hiring Former Staff

    RNRy posted a topic in Nurse Management

    As a nurse manager, how do you respond to staff members who are upset that a former employee is being hired again? Said former employee electively left the facility on positive terms the first time....

    RNRy replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I haven't read this entire thread, but as a nurse manager, I LOVE male nurses because, in general, they are LOW DRAMA and LESS

    RNRy replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Which state do you live

  16. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNRy replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps it would be best for you to apply for clinic or doctor's office jobs. Those jobs are generally less stressful and less physically demanding, but that is usually reflected in the compensation....

  17. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    RNRy replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I fear you will be a red flag to any prospective employer - applying for a third job one year into your nursing career will turn many potential employers off, regardless of how good of a nurse you...

    RNRy replied to Yvonne RN's topic in Western Governors University

    My MSN from WGU helped me advance within management at my FT job and landed me a teaching position at my PT job. WGU is a wonderful

    RNRy posted a topic in Western Governors University

    I need to take the 3P's and would love to do so at WGU; I completed my MSN at WGU under the old curriculum before the 3P's were offered. I spoke with an enrollment counselor today and was told...

  23. Will I be able to get a hospital job with BSN from WGU? Will they look at it different?

    RNRy replied to Jaellys's topic in Western Governors University

    Research more about national accreditation vs. regional accreditation and perhaps you will see my original point. When referring to a college as a whole, you can't say the university is nationally...

    RNRy replied to Jaellys's topic in Western Governors University

    See my reply to meanmaryjean. I skimmed the link. All I saw them advertise is their regional accreditation. Now, before I started WGU, I remember the home page advertising something along the lines of...

  25. Will I be able to get a hospital job with BSN from WGU? Will they look at it different?

    RNRy replied to Jaellys's topic in Western Governors University

    Yes, WGU is CCNE accredited. CCNE is not "national accreditation." National accreditation refers to DEAC (formerly DETC), ACICS, and ACCSC. WGU used to be DETC accredited, but they let their national...
