NurseJamillah MSN, NP

I'm guessing that you've got it by now, but mine took a few days short of a month after I got the "Final Review" email.

I attend Regis online. Not too happy with the program, but I've heard the on-campus program is a lot better. I have a coworker that went to MCPHS and liked it, although she said that like me, she had a very difficult time securing a preceptor. R...

Emailed you yesterday, FYI.

Hi! I just found out I was accepted to the January 2020 start for Regis. Will any other members be in this cohort?

Personally, I don't know but it's probably on their website.

I am 1/3 of the way into my PMHNP program full-time. I recently quit working as a floor nurse at a hospital part-time and I have just begun working per diem at an outpatient psych facility. I only need $2k/mo to live off of, ideally. My program was b...

The WHO considers nebulizer treatment to be aerosol-generating. From the WHO: "In the context of COVID-19, airborne transmission may be possible in specific circumstances and settings in which procedures or support treatments that generate aerosols a...

I don't know if it's the same for you, but my issue at that point was being overwhelmed with everything. I am about 16 months in now, and things are getting easier. I think it is because so many things have now become second nature, that there are le...

I work in a hospital, so if they are mature, I start with, "Do you usually wear a brief, like Depends?". At all ages, I ask, "Do you have urgency or stress incontinence? That means when you have to go, you HAVE TO GO." If they say yes, then I say, do...

Hi! If you don't mind me asking, did you end up deciding to pursue your PhD? I am in a PMHNP master's program right now, and I find myself curious about the same path! Before I got my nursing BS, I did a BS in Biology. I hope all is well!

Did you start? How's it going? I am in NU605 right now, leadership. Lots of papers and busy work, and they are taking me a long time to write. I was planning on increasing my work hours to save up money before clinicals start next year, but I don't k...

By telephone, then email. I don't think that is typical, though. I think it may only have been because I had been speaking to the applications advisor a lot because my advisor changed during the application process, which made it take longer.

Hi! I don't have a master's degree yet! Your program is only a year, correct?

I have a year in med-surg experience and next year, I will be starting school for a MSN degree. I decided that med-surg is probably not for me, and I will be doing the psych NP MSN program. I would like to have more flexibility in my work hours, wh...

Thank you, I will! I may have spoken too soon--I now have two interviews, next week. Both are for per diem jobs. One is at a small, locked facility within the hospital group that I currently work at, and the other is at a private "college" (with dorm...

Congratulations!!

Thank you so much for responding. I feel the same way--I don't want to work at a state hospital. I currently have an autistic family member in such a facility, and seeing what he's going through is heart-breaking. In my state, mental health hospitals...

Well, the same reason that I got a degree in nursing, also with no experience--becsuse it interests me. I tend to volunteer to provide care for the patients who the other nurses complain are "behavioral". Also, I do have another degree, in which I to...

I've applied to a few jobs, now, all per-diem, including two substitute school nurse positions. Fingers crossed!

Hi, thanks for your input. Any updates? Have you completed the program? Thank you!

You've gotten a lot of great advice, already, but I wanted to add a few things that just aid in concision. You might want to start your sentences by using the action verbs that directly contributed to patient care. Begin the sentence with what you a...

Thank you, I didn't even think about checking there. My mind is so consumed with needing to get out of my current job before classes starts, I forgot that I am going to be a student! Thank you, I will consider that when choosing. I was originally lo...

Pretty please?

Maybe add some context in your cover letter? Add a note into your resume to see cover letter? I'm not certain that it will work for nursing, but it worked for me when I worked in a different field. I left my job to go to school full-time, then went o...

Depends on what they require, as mentioned above. That being said, I moved in with my significant other, and everything was already established, so I've had this problem before. I used a bank statement and a cell phone bill. I was able to update the...
