  1. How many is too many ?

    I applied to 4 and I think anything above 3-4 is also a bit much when it comes to having recommendations written. Best of
  2. Stony Brook FNP Interview

    I think it's now rolling admission too (at least that is what I read), so I assume people may hear back at different times, instead of all at once, but not sure (I am guessing in Feb like admissions...
  3. Do you stalk anyone here?

    Whoops! Stinkin'
  4. Do you stalk anyone here?

    Come on, stalking is nothing without the creep factor! Anyway, this threat is
  5. Questions for the single parents

    Also try Care.com. I found a babysitter off that site (background check, references, etc) who helped me with my kids when I worked my last job (better circumstances and hours now at my current job,...
  6. Recommendations for online FNP-30k range

    Also, make sure if you're out to state that your state allows clinicals to be done locally if you're attending that school. I checked with my state and the school wasn't approved there so no clinicals...
  7. L&D CNA position

    Congrats on the interview! Keep us updated! On my L&D unit we only have Scrub Tech's and they help keep the unit stocked, help us transport patients and retrieve items, clean, and scrub in for...
  8. SROM question

    1) It's not always visible, there are varying degrees of cord prolapse, all very serious of course. I have seen a cord actually out of the lady parts once and have dealt with several cord prolapses...
  9. FNU Class 146

    Thank You! I am sure you'll be off that wait list and officially in soon! I am just happy that we all have received the opportunities to pursue our goals!
  10. FNU Class 146

    Been crazy busy at work and home this past week!! I'm so excited for everyone who was also accepted, congratulations! I actually, after a long day of thinking, decided to accept a seat in another...
  11. FNU Class 146

    LOL I know! I now find myself checking several times a day in hopes of seeing that one email. The rest of this month are going to be difficult, the wait is not that easy!! Luckily, the holidays are...
  12. Toco monitoring

    It's definitely important for various reasons. Of course for intensity that would either be via palpation or internal monitoring (ONLY if needed), as the external would only show us frequency and how...
  13. Stony Brook FNP Interview

    It would be nice if they could do Skype type interviews for those who live several hours away, but since it's only a few hours, I don't see them doing this (I think it's only in person as far as I...
  14. FNU Class 146

    I looked at Simmons a while back and decided not to apply due to how much they cost. I have heard it's an excellent program though and sought after. I applied to SUNY Stony Brook (a more local, state...
  15. Stony Brook FNP Interview

    I applied to SB as a back up (not my first choice) and I am from upstate NY. If I were to be interviewed, it would be a good 3-4 hour drive there and that's only if traffic behaves (not
  16. FNU Class 146

    Mandy, That's exactly why I applied to the two other school's as back up now, so that I didn't miss the deadline just in case. Although, I hear ya, I wouldn't want to take the GRE either (luckily the...
  17. FNU Class 146

    Hi and welcome on board Nakeia! Hm, interesting they said that! In the reply I got today (from the email I sent yesterday) she had stated it should be 6-8 weeks out from the changed FB date (March...
  18. FNU Class 146

    I applied to two more schools as #2 and #3 as back ups (will hear from all around the same time as FNU), but FNU is 100% my top first choice (crossing my fingers)! I know once January hits I will be...
  19. FNU Class 146

    Yup, sounds like a legitimate reason to move the date back. Thanks for letting us know! I went ahead and sent an email asking if the notification time will be the same as if the date hadn't been...
  20. Bedside report - hate it? Like it? Love it?

    I usually don't mind it, have gotten quite used to it. My unit has now moved to required bedside reporting (and yes management does notice if you aren't doing it). I work in a busy Labor &...
  21. FNU Class 146

    Ah good, you found this! It seems like no one received an email about the change of the FB dates, probably something the school isn't required to do when they make a change like that (would've been...
  22. FNU Class 146

    Hello JC! I hope we still all hear in December as well, but I guess we will all see when the time comes. The waiting is never easy, but not much we can do about
  23. Choosing a Specialty

    Even before I went into nursing I was fascinated with birthing and neonates. During my ASN degree we were given the opportunity to do internships for the last two semesters. I did the NICU and Labror...
  24. Np specialities?

    To add one more, there are also Neonatal Nurse Practitioners who specialize in the care of sick and/or premature babies and are seen in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) in the hospital
  25. Pediatric NP or midwife?

    Frontier Nursing University (Hyden, KY) does have CNM, however they do not offer PNP. They also offer FNP and WHNP.
