  1. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    The only thing I wish I had known before was just how fast 5 weeks goes by. It's nice, but draining sometimes. I finished in 10 months. I worked 3 12s through the first 5 months and then went...

    Accepted to WHNP! Have to decide between here and
  4. Can WHNPs work in the hospital?

    Yes. Duke has clinical rotations in mother baby for postpartum care and with general gyn patients. Not sure if the schedule is 12s, 10s, or 8s, but it is possible. There are also rotations that you...
  5. Emory MN Fall 2022

    I was accepted to WHNP and I applied to the last decision group. I was never on the waitlist so I'm not sure there's anything to do other than wait and see if spots become available as people decide...

    I got accepted for fall. Does anyone know what the tuition deposit amount is? I'm trying to decide between here and
  7. Work while in grad school

    I am looking at starting grad school in about a year or two and I want to prepare myself. For those of you who have gone to NP school what did you do for work? I currently work outpatient and would...
  8. From Bedside to Clinic

    I'm making the switch from bedside to clinic in about a month. I currently work gyn/onc and I am going to an ob/gyn clinic. I know it'll be a learning curve, but I want to brush up on my maternity...
  9. From Bedside to Clinic

    @travelnurse79 unfortunately I haven’t gotten any recommendations, but my boss did send me a training course to help me brush up on baby’s heart rhythm for non stress tests. I still have my...

  11. I'm currently on the pill and start my new grad residency in about a month. I've been on the pill for almost 6 years and I love it, but I want to switch to something that I don't have to take every...
  12. Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    @Jory what is your opinion of the
  13. Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    @LostMyPen,RN how long did you have irregular periods before you started only having one. Is the one around the same time every year? Is it predictable when you’ll
  14. Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    @cayenne06 thanks for that info. I’ll present that to her and see what she says. Menstrual suppression is what I prefer. I want the patch because I think that would be easiest. As @CalicoKitty...
  15. Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    @K+MgSO4 I currently take it at 8pm, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to continue taking it around that time because I’ll be working 7a-7p for 6 weeks and then 7p-7a for the next 6 weeks and it...

    @okurilen how many pages are most of the papers. I'm thinking about applying soon. Are they like 10 page papers, more or
  17. My NCLEX Experience

    @Nursing pursuit I second OP. Take a break and relax. Studying for the exam made my brain hurt a few days. I think being able to take a step back and the regrouping will help you de-stress and go back...
  18. My NCLEX Experience

    I was going to make my own post, but I wasn't sure people read them other than me lol. Everyone recommends UWorld, but it's so expensive. I spent the first week studying thinking about buying it...
  19. Which social platform are nurses using most?

    I use reddit. I think the student nurse, nurse, nursing, medicine, and nurse practitioner subreddits are very helpful and fun reads when I'm bored. It's just easier to vent there when I need to and...
  20. I'm a nursing student graduating in May. I've started applying for nursing jobs out of state and I'm currently waiting to hear back for possible interviews. My boyfriend has this idea that if a...

    For those of you who’ve interviewed already, do you have tattoos and did you cover them for the
  22. How many people made it to the end of the program?

    63 in. 60 out. I'm in an ADN program. We lost people in our original cohort along the way, gained some LPNs, and then people who failed the first time were readmitted. Of the original 63 there's...
  23. Duke New Grad Residency Summer 2019

    @foxj7717 I only got the link for references, but I'm unsure if the video interview is necessary. I'm out of state and haven't received any info about that. I actually had to call the recruiter after...
  24. Commuting to clinicals from 1 hr away??

    A few students in our class did this. They would have sleepovers the night before and then only have a 20-30 min commute and then drive the hour home. We also had one student who would drive up after...
