  1. East Tennessee State - ETSU ABSN 2016

    bay area FNP-to-be posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Has anyone else applied to the ABSN (or traditional BSN) at ETSU for this summer? I sent in my NursingCAS and university app last month and see "accepted unconditional" when I log back in to the...

  2. Lynchburg College ABSN Summer 2016

    bay area FNP-to-be posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Didn't see a topic for folks applying to the ABSN program at Lynchburg this summer. I just got an email saying they're starting to review applications, so wanted to see where other applicants are....

  3. "Smart watch" vs traditional for taking pulse/resp

    bay area FNP-to-be posted a topic in General Students

    Silly question, but kind of important since I want to get a good watch. :) Does anyone regularly use a "smart watch" (preferably for android) to take a pulse? I have no idea how they work and haven't...

  4. Case Western Graduate Entry Program Fall 2016

    bay area FNP-to-be posted a topic in School, College Programs

    I didn't see a thread for this year's admission cycle to CWRU's graduate entry program. Have other folks applied? If so, when and have you heard anything? If anyone in the program comes across this...

  5. UC Davis MEPN

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to Sweetmemi's topic in School, College Programs

    I've asked similar questions (although they'll probably write back to you, too). Fees are up in the air until the UC Regents make budget decisions. Clinicals are within the UC Davis Health system (for...

  6. Cleaning Products in School

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to KDRNMA's topic in School

    There was a related post a while ago. https://allnurses.com/school-nurses/hand-sanitizer-is-1038650.html The hand sanitizer part is a joke, but everything else the law covers isn't. If you had the...

  7. Do you interact with students outside of the office?

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to Kittery's topic in School

    I'd say nutrition education, too. :) That's where I try to dedicate some of my extra time. If you can't find the wellness committee, you could ask your nutrition director. HHFKA gives wellness...

  8. UC Davis MEPN

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to Sweetmemi's topic in School, College Programs

    No bachelors from Davis because it's a graduate program. I'm waiting to hear back about the BSN vs. MSN from others on this thread, but I doubt there's a conclusive answer out there. My gut tells me...

  9. UC Davis MEPN

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to Sweetmemi's topic in School, College Programs

    I got in and was offered a scholarship as well, but it's still pricey. (90k just for tuition? yikes...) Tough decision because I'm debating between staying in the bay area, where I won't need a car...

  10. Not Enough Backup-CPS?

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Student out sick would worry me. Hopefully a coincidence. From what you've shared and based on similar experiences I've had with a few students, if I was in the same situation, CPS would want me to...

  11. how to coordinate with students' providers outside of school

    bay area FNP-to-be posted a topic in School

    Hi all. Soon-to-be nursing student / lurker here. I manage health and wellness as well as sick students and attendance issues at a small elementary school and we have several kids whose ongoing health...

  12. how to coordinate with students' providers outside of school

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to bay area FNP-to-be's topic in School

    I'll push harder for dr. involvement since I think medical issues are underlying a lot of what's happening, not just other issues the 504 addresses. And yes, I would love for us to have a nurse. Our...

  13. how to coordinate with students' providers outside of school

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to bay area FNP-to-be's topic in School

    @Old Dude: thanks for the suggestion. I've only tried reaching out to a clinic once or twice and was quickly met with resistance regarding privacy, but I think mom would sign the release. Medical...

  14. how to coordinate with students' providers outside of school

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to bay area FNP-to-be's topic in School

    Sorry, you're right about not encouraging them to stay at the wrong time. When the student is clearly ill, they go home home and if there's any doubt we let mom decide because as lay-people, there...

  15. Samuel Merritt ELMSN, FNP program, Fall 2016 Oakland

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to Telos's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I actually hadn't calculated mine, but needed to get similar info for scholarship apps: last 60- 3.57, prereqs (would depend on who calculates it, but this is a rough guess)- 3.68 overall undergrad-...

  16. Samuel Merritt ELMSN, FNP program, Fall 2016 Oakland

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to Telos's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I ended up signing up for the 3/18 training. Anyone else

  17. 'No Name Seizure'

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to tining's topic in School

    Mine lasted 5-10 seconds with a brief postictal period (minutes, not days!) after. What took so long to diagnose them was the way I tried describing them as an otherwise healthy 10 year old. Dealing...

  18. 'No Name Seizure'

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to tining's topic in School

    I second that! Interestingly, I get partial seizures and they presented a little bit like that, but sadly it took over ten years until I was an adult and went to a neurologist -- now they're gone with...

  19. grrrrr!

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to txbootsy's topic in School

    Same with us! Teachers should be teaching, not actively looking for kids they think are sick. Big problem at our

  20. NHSC loan repayment program with HPSA 12 at FQHC

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to phosphorus's topic in Advanced Practice

    For those that have been accepted, did you happen to be at an eligible site or choose your place of work specifically to increase your chances of getting accepted? Also, out of curiosity, have you...

  21. Pledge of Allegiance?

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I can't even think of anywhere a flag is on our campus (K-5). I'm also in San

  22. Hand Sanitizer is a pesticide?

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to cdgoldilocks's topic in School

    Nothing beats drowning myself in the ed code! The CDPR website says it "includes, but is not limited to disinfecting wipes, sanitizers, and weed-killers" but knowing who puts the info into those...

  23. Samuel Merritt ELMSN, FNP program, Fall 2016 Oakland

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to Telos's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've gotten feedback about the SMU program from a few sources. An FNP I met at SF General (a graduate of UCSF's MEPN program) spoke highly of SMU, although didn't elaborate on what I'd do upon...

  24. Johns Hopkins Direct Entry MSN- Fall 2016

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to Business2bNurse's topic in School, College Programs

    I got my acceptance as well, but no financial aid info. If you've sent your FAFSA, they probably have your info on file and will get you information if you ask for it. Luckily, I got into Samuel...

  25. Samuel Merritt ELMSN, FNP program, Fall 2016 Oakland

    bay area FNP-to-be replied to Telos's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is anyone going to do the BLS class 3/18, 4/16, or 4/29? It'd be fun to meet other folks accepted and do it
