As nurses we are responsible for picking our own call. The majority of us try to pick days we are off the next day during the week. If we work the next day we come in and work as long as we can or come in late. We are responsible for covering from 7p...

Please keep posts coming regarding this program. I agree there is not much on it and I am also considering switching to this program. The more info the better!

I have a question for you regarding your program. I noticed that you went to Drexel. I'm currently enrolled in a brick and mortar PMHNP program and looking to transfer to an online one. I had a lot of issues with my patho class and I'm not impressed ...

I live in Pittsburgh, (don't know what part of the country you are from) and we have to schools here that offer the psych specific track. University of Pittsburgh and Robert Morris. I applied to Robert Morris more for a lot of personal preferences an...

I applied to one school, I was only going to apply to 2 in my area because they are the only 2 that offer the mental health track. My BSN GPA was 3.2 but I have strong work and life experience, great letters of recommendation and didn't need the GRE....

Hi! I just wanted to let you know to continue to go for it regardless of your GPA. My BSN GPA was just over 3.2 I believe and I was accepted into the one and only PMHNP- DNP program that I applied to. I feel that they look at GPA sometimes, but I fee...

I agree. If you want to work in peds, you should take the offer. If your long term is to be a CRNP I would actually wonder if an ER is the best place for experience? Usually floor nursing will get you better experience with disease processes etc as o...

Yay bunny! That's my hospital!! I wish we had lake view but the city will do lol.

Which hospital if you don't mind? Idk if you can put that on here. I don't read the rules lol. I did the same thing with my unit director because I felt like I was waiting forever. I think that they make you wait at least a week before you hear from ...

Usually if you aren't getting an offer they won't even call you. You won't hear from anybody you will likely get a rejection email (if you are lucky). Sometimes you just don't hear from anybody at all. For those who did hear, welcome :)

I was a veterinary technician for 10 years. Let me tell you there are as many veterinary technician programs in Pgh as there are nursing schools! Anyway did that for 10 years, loved working with the animals, but got completely burnt out on the lack o...

This week I have learned: 1. That my "easy" 3 online classes are going to be way more work than I bargained for at the same time I'm orienting to my new job. 2. That I am still just as confused by the last 2 aspects of my BSN portfolio as I was bef...

Congrats to you! I feel your pain! It was definitely a struggle for me as well, but in the end we are victorious!
