  1. Marymount BSN-DNP 2021

    Hi everyone, has anyone applied to Marymount's BSN-DNP this year? Have you heard anything back? If you're already in the program, how did the admissions process go for you and how are the classes now? Thank you!
  2. So true, thank you for sharing, it's not the easiest job but even on the worst days, I love this specialty. We're privileged to be a participant in the miracle of life every day and even to support mothers and families in the tragedies that accompany...
  3. Should I travel with 1 year L&D experience?

    Thank you Nurse Beth for the advice, it is greatly appreciated. I think I will benefit from more experience so I can handle anything thrown at me when I do eventually undertake traveling, but I don't think I have a stable environment at my current wo...
  4. Hi everyone, I'm a nurse in L&D. I started as a new grad and have close to a year's experience now. I work in a unit with high turnover in both staff nurses and leadership. There's a lot of instability, we are frequently understaffed yet there ...
  5. Thank you, I think I can use at least another year of experience so I can hit the ground running better as a traveler.

  7. Hi! I'm a new grad who's been offered 2 positions, one in Mother-Baby and one in an ICU. My goal throughout nursing school was to be a labor and delivery nurse one day but I've been debating getting experience first such as in critical care before pu...
  8. Hey everyone, thank you for sharing about your experiences! I ultimately chose a position and I'm in Labor and Delivery. I've been off of orientation now for a couple of weeks but I don't know. It's crazy to say this but I honestly hate it, like comp...
  9. Hey everyone, So I'm a new graduate who has been offered two positions. One is in the ICU and one in Mother-Baby where I'll also be cross trained in L&D and OR. I went to nursing school wanting to do L&D, I've had that dream for such a long ...
  10. Hi, I still haven't decided. I thought I had my mind made up more or less but I have to make an official decision by next week. I toured the ICU yesterday and spoke more with the manager, it's a huge unit and they receive trauma patients as well. It'...
  11. Thank you @Nurse87EM You really gave me a lot to think about and I appreciate how you broke the differences down. I'm definitely picking apart both units to try and decide. I think what I love about critical care is learning the pathophysiology and h...
  12. Thank you everyone for your responses, I really appreciate it. I've decided to accept a Mother-Baby position where I'll also be crosstrained in labor and delivery :)
  13. I NEED ADVICE.

    Hi! I had the same problem as you a few years ago. I was in the saaaaame situation, torn between the same options, and ultimately I decided to do the RN program over the LPN and honestly, I don't regret it for a moment! It was difficult, I had to ta...
  14. New Grad with a Bad Back

    Hi everyone! I don't want to be long winded but a quick background before I ask my question; I'm entering my final semester of nursing school in a few days. I'm excited to be graduating soon but now that I'm so close I'm thinking more about the reali...

  18. Broward College Nursing Program January 2017

    Lol thank you, I hope so! I'm just worried about my dumb transcript being incomplete. I'm taking classes right now at FIU and wasn't able to register at Broward this semester because of that and they're still in progress so I'm hoping I'll be able t...
  19. Broward College Nursing Program January 2017

    Oh don't do that to yourself. The nursing department closes at 4pm, so I've been allowing myself to only check once a day at that time. I was getting paranoid too because I know one of my transcripts is incomplete although I have all my prereqs compl...
  20. Broward College Nursing Program January 2017

    Hi Charmcd82, I applied September 7th and I just got points today and had my application moved to "in review." Before today it actually said "pre-application" and was blank for the most part. Nicole told me today actually that they were still going t...

    Hi Kingrn2018, My prereq gpa is a 4.0, and I got a 94 overall on the HESI. I have IB credit for ENC1101 so it's just my anatomy courses that I counted for the prereq gpa. Did you get points yet?

  25. Broward College Nursing Program January 2017

    My application still says it's pre-program and hasn't updated to the current semester's and still has transcripts not checked off or evaluated. Hopefully by next week it'll go into review :) Good luck to everyone, just a few more weeks left.
