  1. Hi Everyone. Sorry about the late response and thank you for all the advice! So, here is what ended up happening. When I finished my degree at WGU, my pharmacology classes were acceptable for my program at The University of South Alabama. I took...
  2. I am a new graduate FNP in California with 6 years of RN critical care experience. I earned my BSN and MSN-ED from Western Governors, and then went on to complete a Post-Master's FNP program at The University of South Alabama, which accepted my 3p wi...
  3. I'm looking for anywhere that I can take a class if I have to. This sucks, it's neverending .... I seriously could have gone to med school for less effort. At least I would have had more support. This is such bs, they need to standardize APRN educati...
  4. I'm going to try to come to a resolution with the school first. Luckily, I have emails detailing all of this from when I originally enrolled. What an awful headache and disappointment.
  5. CA BON- I need some help

    I'm having a similar problem with the California BRN and I'm licensed and have been working as an RN in this state since 2016. It's horrific.
  6. What happened to the post masters certificates?

    The University of South Alabama. I'm in the program now and have had a good experience so far.
  7. Portland Job Market

    I'm hearing that the Portland market for RNs is extremely tight. Is this true?
  8. Anyone work only per diem with an agency?

    I'm thinking of doing the same thing in Los Angeles. I have two years NICU but only want to do 2 shifts per week since I also have an unrelated home business. I'm looking into agencies right now too, so maybe we can compare information!
  9. Portland Job Market

    Great, thanks for the reply. Yup, I have 2.5 years of experience in NICU and Mother/Baby. I was thinking of traveling nursing up there at first since I don't really know much about the area. Would you have any recommendations for good places to work?...
  10. Quitting NICU

    I've been an RN for 2 years and a NICU nurse for 1 1/2 years. I received an excellent orientation at a large teaching hospital where I worked for the first year, and I felt confident of my skills. I worked in Level II and Level III. When I switched t...
  11. Quitting NICU

    Thanks for responding, I appreciate the support. I still love my little patients, but I'm looking into other options right now. I truly love taking care of the little ones, but I don't like the high-stress level of taking care of the really sick ones...
  12. Santa Fe or Albuquerque from LA?

    I tried to figure out how to message you, but I don't have that feature. Thank you so much for your reply. Sorry for the late response, I've been working. We are headed out to Santa Fe for a vacation, so I was thinking of doing some research while ...
  13. Santa Fe or Albuquerque from LA?

    Thinking of leaving SoCal for a quieter life and less people. A non-nursing friend moved to New Mexico and loves it, so we are going to visit and check it out. I'm a NICU nurse with two years of experience in high acuity, inner city hospitals. I have...
  14. Santa Fe or Albuquerque from LA?

    Goodness, thanks so much!
  15. I graduated in 2015 with my ADN, earned my BSN a year later and am currently about to enter WGU's MSN Education program. I've been working in NICU for a year an a half, and Mother/Baby before that. My goal is to become an FNP. I chose to return to WG...
  16. Thank you so much for your response, I really appreciate it. I'm so glad to hear that this route worked for you, I find it very encouraging. May I ask you where you did your FNP? I'm currently working in NICU, but I'm finding the stress of critical ...
  17. New Grad in Los Angeles with an ADN and a Bachelor's in an unrelated subject here. I just graduated in December, and want to continue asap with my education. I've also noticed that the job market here is rough for ADNs, so I'm trying to start a prog...
