Josh Runkle RN, EMT-P

I liked clinical way more than lecture. Lecture was like, "...And here are where your ovaries are..." And I'd be sitting there like, "...But, I don't have any ovaries."

Luckily, my school is about 10% men. The good news/bad news is that since I stand out by being a man, every single professor I have ever had knows my name. I walk by professors I had a class with a year ago and they still wave and say, "Hi, Josh, how...

Good providers learn from their mistakes. This obviously means that to be good you're going to have to make mistakes. Accept that and grow from it.

I am in my last semester of RN. So far I have probably worked with 20-30 classroom professors/instructors and about 8-10 clinical instructors. I have really enjoyed almost every instructor, but I have had 2 clinical instructors along the way that tri...

Yes, it does. There are upsides and downsides to doing this 5 year program at OSU. Upside: OSU is a top-tier nursing school, and you can continue to get health insurance during the two year break if you don’t already have it. Downside: Cost for time...

I am in the OSU GE class that started 2018 and will graduate 2021. These are not “official numbers” but are just my experience and best guess. 90 were admitted to traditional masters and 90 were admitted to grad entry. At my grad entry orientation,...

I have no idea how competitive PMHNP was/is. Obviously, the people that apply for your class might be different than those that applied to mine. My very subjective experience is that applicants from all of the total specialties tended to have a lot o...

From what I have heard from other classes, the interview questions have been slightly different every year. I don't remember my exact questions, but they were things like: -Why do you want to be a [insert specialty here]? -Tell us about your goals in...

I have classes: M 1:30p-5:30p T 8:30a-4:30p Th 7:30a-11:30a Then one online class due every Sunday night by midnight. I study about 10 hours/week for the online class. I study about 15-30 hours/week in addition to these hours to complete homework and...

I took physiology at OSU Marion before taking Anatomy. I don't remember the perreqs, but I didn't need to do Anatomy first.

This thread is regarding the graduate entry option which is a combined RN/NP program. If you already have a BSN, you would apply to the traditional masters program, which is different. Good luck!

"Flip and See ECG" by Elizabeth Cohn

Why not just encourage her to be herself and allow her to pray if she wishes, and you could silently sit and agree with her and be there for her with encouragement of her needs/desires, but not specifically by "leading" her? On the outside, you woul...

My status changed from "pending" to "decision" somewhere between Friday night at midnight and Saturday morning at 4am (I got up to feed my daughter and saw the change). I accepted Saturday morning around 4am. I got an acceptance email on Monday. If y...

Did you go to one of the information seminars before applying? I know that from the notes that I took the FNP program was specifically looking at applicant's personal statements, resumes and recommendation letters for: -Strong collaboration and team...

OSU has a 1 year master's in bioethics. It's completely online with the exception of a few seminars.

Maybe that means you're waitlisted? Or perhaps the program you applied for hasn't released acceptance offers yet? What program did you apply for?

I got accepted to the FNP program. So excited! Should we start a Facebook Group?

Has anyone else heard anything?

So sorry to hear that. Best of luck.

I'm in my mid-30's. I'm married with kids. I've worked in a lot of different fields from business to military contracting to health care. I have a BA in Classics with a 3.778 GPA. I have 7 years experience in EMS, the last 5 as a Paramedic. I'm a mid...

I checked today, just in case. There's still no information other than "pending". As to the person who claimed the possibility of someone already being admitted: I have a friend who is in the class that started last year. She applied for Clinical Nu...

No age is too old as long as you are willing and able to rapidly adapt to changing situations. I work in EMS. 2 people I work with are in their 60's, and they are too old, since they cannot keep their information up to date and accept that medicine h...

Yes. I really want to do this program, specifically at OSU. I'm trying not to think about it until the end of the year.

Sounds pretty normal. I am taking 21 credit hours (12-18 is full time, I got a waiver for 21). I am married and we have one 3 month old. I work 3 jobs and watch my daughter anytime I am at home. I get 1-4 hours sleep a night. But...the trade off is t...
