  1. Nurse Educator

    DrAres replied to Mary3010's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    You should post your question in the Nurse Educator specialty thread - this one is the Clinical Nurse

  2. CNS in Home Health Program

    DrAres replied to RN4KU's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    CNS programs are organized by patient populations (e.g. adult-gerontology, pediatric) and there are no specific specializations for home health. As someone who owns a home care agency, why do you...

  3. What sort of job/job title do you hold?

    DrAres replied to NICU<3RN's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    In California to receive state funding via California Children's Services, the NICU and PICUs must have a CNS. Fortunately, CNSs in CA have been active in influencing these regulations. See the...

  4. NFLP

    DrAres replied to MI-RN-DNPstudent's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yes I have had my PhD loans forgiven via the NFLP. I had a faculty job before taking the loans, so my situation is different than yours. Nurse Educators are in demand but your background and...

  5. Not qualified for University Program

    DrAres replied to jax18_mco's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It takes a lot of courses to elevate the GPA. Most programs that I know of look at the degree GPA and do not consider post-bachelor's courses into that GPA. @jax18_mco Have you looked at the US...

  6. PMHCNS

    DrAres replied to matthewandrew's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I'm not sure about the specific history of why the Psych/Mental Health APRNs decided to focus on NP over CNS. There seemed to be a national decision, though controversial, that was made within the...

  7. CA BON- I need some help

    DrAres replied to kevinm23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Study.com is the provider of the education but the American Council on Education (ACE) is the body that grants the college credit and provides the transcript (a badge now). I don't know if the BRN...

  8. CSUDH vs OU RN-BSN

    DrAres replied to colochita27's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Notification of the multiple orientation sessions occurs after the ADN student applies. It's not an information session, rather an orientation to the program, online library, online classroom, etc....

  9. CSUCI vs. CSDH ADN/RN to BSN Program

    DrAres replied to Guest123456789's topic in School, College Programs

    @Guest123456789 @Jackeeee I'm affiliated with CSUDH and can provide some perspective. I'm sorry there has been trouble communicating with the department - the pandemic has created some issues with...

  10. CSUDH vs OU RN-BSN

    DrAres replied to colochita27's topic in Online Distance Learning

    @pandaeyes have you attended the orientation session? You questions could be answered there. The Health Assessment Lab is typically done on campus, but due to the pandemic we have been using Zoom....

  11. CA BON- I need some help

    DrAres replied to kevinm23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    By the time you sort this out, quite a bit of time may elapse. You may want to consider taking the Sociology 101 course at Study.com (for college credit)....

  12. CNS Programs

    DrAres replied to DomiMichel24's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I would say the main difference is that the work of the Ped CNS involves care for the patient (direct but mostly indirect via consultation) as a clinical expert, support for nurses, and engagement...

  13. CNS Certification

    DrAres replied to archer01's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Most discussions of exam prep for CNS grads have focused on the Mometrix products. The grads from our program that take the AACN typically are using CCRN prep books (to get the feel for the style of...

  14. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2014

    DrAres replied to ThisNurseIs's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Anay3l1- As a newly admitted student you won't be in clinical for another year, so likely the pressing problems we are experiencing now won't exist. The challenges related to clinical placement are...

  15. RN-BSN: CSU East Bay vs CSU Dominguez Hills

    DrAres replied to YassQueen's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm a graduate of CSUDH but also faculty. I'm not sure when NurseGina17 attended, but there is no math test. There is a graduation writing requirement, which all of the CSU schools have, but it can...

  16. CNS for Later?

    DrAres replied to adventure_rn's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Adventure_RN, As others have noted, it's great to see that you are doing your homework and due diligence on this matter. I will address multiple issues that have evolved on the thread from the...

  17. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2014

    DrAres replied to ThisNurseIs's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The program is mostly online. The Core MSN and 2 APRN Core courses are fully online. The Advanced Health Assessment course requires 2 visits to the campus lab (mid-term and final). The FNP specific...

  18. Adult/peds ACCN tests

    DrAres replied to traumaRUs's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Take a look at the eligibility criteria for the AACN exam because it is different than ANCC. You may be stuck if you don't meet he criteria. My students were taking the ANCC but when it was retired,...

  19. Adult/peds ACCN tests

    DrAres replied to traumaRUs's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    The test blueprints for each exam are different so I do not believe there is only one exam. Questions that are in essence about the role, advocacy, ethics, etc. but involve a scenario of a different...

  20. CSUDH MSN/FNP fall 2014

    DrAres replied to ThisNurseIs's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The FNP Program Handbook that is posted is for students admitted prior to Fall 2017. The new admission process was posted from Oct. to May but we took it down in June to revise for 2018. You make a...

  21. hiring older nurses

    DrAres replied to KThurmond's topic in General Nursing

    I'm interpreting the original post to refer to older nurses that are new grads. As a former hiring manager and current faculty, I will share some thoughts. As others have said, there is a place in...

  22. CSU Dominguez Hills- Online MSN Education

    DrAres replied to Syane's topic in Post Graduate Students

    syane45 - I suggest you contact the School of Nursing and ask to be connected with the advisor for the Education track. The advisor can likely connect you with a few current students in the program...

  23. CSUDH RN-BSN online

    DrAres replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Questions about the student experience are great to post in these forums. Other questions such as admission requirements and insider information such as slectiveness of admissions is best to direct...

    DrAres replied to ThisNurseIs's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
