   Kimstwin replied to BerryhappyRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

   You might want to start a new thread. Most of us on this thread were MSN seekers. They did take a while to make decisions. I'm not sure when your program starts, but the deadline for fall 2016...

2. USF NP Fall 2016...anyone?

   Kimstwin replied to BerryhappyRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

   I used my personal email and then received an email to verify the address. After I did that it said that my health.usf.edu email was linked with my external email. Hope this helps

3. BSN degree seems off topic

   Kimstwin replied to Wayne47's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   I understand programs differ, that is not in question. The OP indicated that the courses are "fluff" and unnecessary. I was disagreeing. As in any educational endeavor, you get out what you put

4. BSN degree seems off topic

   Kimstwin replied to Wayne47's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   I must completely agree with this poster. My BSN did involve writing, but the writing was about my own ideas, assessments, and observations. Taking courses like global health, health care politics,...

5. What's your work schedule like during school?

   Kimstwin replied to gelli.25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I chose the least amount of days possible to work. I think that you will have more flexibility for clinicals that way. I am starting my NP program in the fall, too. I'm going part time and I work...

   Kimstwin replied to mmoorevirrey's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   I also did an RN-BSN program. I was a full time student and worked part time. It was 4 semesters. Good luck with whatever route you

7. Former ER & ICU RN Struggling With Tele Ratio

   Kimstwin replied to NotYourMamasRN's topic in General Nursing

   There's no easy way to not feel the squeeze with 6:1. I always pray for one out of the six that can be neglected. Although I don't work on tele specifically, all of my patients on the "surgical"...

8. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

   Kimstwin replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

   My nurse shirt says something like "I'm a nurse: my job is to save your a**, not kiss

9. About to get fired. HELP!

   Kimstwin replied to BellaBlackwell's topic in General Nursing

   If you enjoyed it, pursue another CNA job. You can always start your education towards a nursing degree. You don't have to be a CNA to become a nurse (although it can help you learn how to develop...

10. Alert, no stick, no BP.

    Kimstwin replied to Karrield's topic in General Nursing

    We have these. They were actually an idea that one of the phlebotomists had. They work good if the staff is aware of them and knows to look for

11. Fired from first job..."not eligible for re-hire"

    Kimstwin replied to run.for.the.roses's topic in General Nursing

    This. They just decided to get rid of you, probably for a reason you may never know. The orientation period is the best time to cut somebody loose if they are not a

12. USF NP Fall 2016...anyone?

    Kimstwin replied to BerryhappyRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have heard good things about both schools. I was all set to apply to UCF, but I never did after I visited the nursing building. I was completely turned off from the lack of visible pride in the...
