Back To School.... Back to school
 
Sooo who all is heading back to school and for what concentration???

Going into my third semester of graduate nursing (Family Practitioner). Official start date tomorrow, but assignments were posted last week... go figure. Crazy hectic schedule ahead of me: M, W, F, Sat work 7a-430p. Tues and Thurs clinicals 8am - 5p.

OB/GYN and pediatrics should be interesting. Will be at the Magnolia Clinic in Sulphur on Thursdays and OB Care in Lake Charles on Tuesdays.

Back to the grind i guess... Good luck to the rest of you. :help::work:

CajunSteelsetter 08-20-2013 10:26 AM

Yeah enough of this school stuff...its for the birds. Birds...birds! birds! All I can think of is birds not school!

youu_whoo_whoo 08-20-2013 10:51 AM

I am moving back up to Lafayette tomorrow. Halfway through school. part time job while in school and a full time job over the summer. Got a lot less hunting and fishing done than i would have liked.

most anesthesia programs require the core MSN classes (theory, issues, research) to be completed plus GRE exam and 1 year of ICU experience just to apply... just a heads up.

FF_T_Warren 08-20-2013 01:15 PM

Yea ours doesn't require any classes. They advise to take statistics or you'll have to take it while taking the anesthesia classes. I'm gonna take gre and ccrn after I finish my bsn. I've already got the ICU time. Ill have almost 4 years by the time I start school

cool. i almost went that route but family illness and having a kid sent me in another direction. If you can manage, take the research class on its own... its a BEAST!

AubreyLaHaye458 08-20-2013 02:26 PM

I hear that man... it really didnt hit me til yesterday how fast the time has gone by. seems like yesterday i was complaining about the GRE... LMAO.

seapro150 10-28-2013 05:38 PM

Ff t warren, I'm in the anesthesia program in arkansas state. I'm finishing up my first year. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything. Also, make a Dropbox account and I can send you every anesthesia book you will need. Cost $10 bucks a month but will save you thousands in books

paublo25 10-28-2013 08:35 PM

I'm actually "starting over" going back for Environmental Qualities. Work said that if I go back and keep up good grades they'll pay for it, so why the hell now. It will suck b/c it will take about 2-3 years.

SaltERedneck 01-08-2014 11:43 AM

Jan 15th
 
Its that time again... not much of a break between work and home life. 11 months til graduation! Will be rotating this semester with Dr. Keane O' Neal (Jan through April) and Dr. Richard Gilmore (around April). Say hello if you are a fellow SC member and see me.

capt coonassty 01-08-2014 11:48 AM

Graduated in December, now I'm bored looking for jobs. Got nothing but time now and it sucks.

What did you get a degree in?

capt coonassty 01-08-2014 12:09 PM

Natural Resource Ecology and Management. Looking for something like environmental consulting or state/fed agency.

southLA 01-08-2014 09:04 PM

Finishing up my last semester in Environmental Engineering at LSU this spring. Either doing grad school or consulting once I graduate.

Bdub 01-08-2014 09:08 PM

I'm taking a safety tech class and am enrolled for sowela in the fall to start on a Process tech degree.

cajunforeman 01-08-2014 10:07 PM

Good luck Eddie, it will pay off in the future. I can kick myself in the butt for not going back for my masters. Just think this time next year you will be done and hopefully have a little time to shoot some birds in the face with us. That's of course if they have a better showing next year.

ScubaLatt 01-08-2014 10:32 PM

My wife is going to NP school through McNeese. She is doing the psych program. She made a 4.0 this fall, her first semester.

I expect nothing less from Pippa.

SaltERedneck 02-06-2014 03:51 PM

UPDATE
 
UGH I am currently working on my Scholarly Project to graduate... 3 weeks into it and have typed up 26 pages so far. Thats not including the data from my questionnaire.

Still have 25 providers to survey... this thing looks like it gonna be 45 pages atleast. Feel like i am writing a doctorine thesis. Wanna shoot my brains out!!!! Need to fish... having withdrawal symptoms.

My question is: WHO IN THE FUG WOULD WANNA READ 45 PAGES?!?!?!?!?!

Damn, you graduate on my 55 birthday.

Congrats. You got this.

swamp snorkler 04-28-2014 11:38 AM

My borther finished up this semester. He got a Masters of Nursing from LSU School of Medicine. He's already working as a Nurse Practioner. Him and another buddy of mine along with 1 other fella took the course with 32 women...... I think that's why they went back to school. Graduation Party is not this Sunday buy next.

MathGeek 04-28-2014 12:27 PM

I don't know about your teachers, but I've always read every word of my students' work, usually multiple times. I also repeat all of their calculations and analysis on custom student projects to ensure that they've got everything right.

There are lots of places to make mistakes in engineering projects, calculations, and data analysis. Being a good engineer requires tremendous attention to the computational details, and I think it is a big part of the professor's job to impart this attention to detail like carefully checking everything.

If professorial efforts have not successfully imparted the required attention to detail during the course of the semester, nothing finally drives the message home better than a bad grade. Some professors take a "go along to get along" attitude with the training of engineers. I was more concerned about the bridges falling down and the systems failing if engineers graduated who had not learned attention to detail. I was a quality control guy in the education of students.

I once taught for four years at a community college. A few colleagues in the Division of Science and Math maintained good quality in our courses, but the vast majority gave away grades for showing up. It was frustrating to me.

Frustrating became frightening when my blood pressure dropped one day due to a bout with the flu and I hit the floor. All the EMTs, all the nurses, and everyone I saw for the first 45 minutes after my collapse had been trained at the community college with real quality control problems and almost no academic rigor.

Fortunately, all I needed was to lie down, get an IV put in, and try to replenish lost fluids to get my blood pressure back up. Had more detailed analysis of symptoms, complex diagnoses, or rapid administration of essential measures been needed, I would have been in trouble.

Those who train medical professionals should do so as if their own lives will one day depend upon them.

Those who train engineers should do so as of their own lives will one day depend upon them.

The Air Force loved me, because they understand that our lives and liberties will one day depend on those in control of our weapons of war. State colleges and universities see things very differently.

Party on ...

Found out the study passed and now will be used at McNeese as a teaching reference for classes to come... with my permission of course.

Great job. Congrats. I guess your teacher actually read your work.

Slomo510 04-29-2014 07:18 PM

Just recently got accepted to University of Alabama at Birmingham grad school for masters of construction engineering management, start in the fall. 100% online program through thier school of engineering. Here I go agian back off to school!

DannyI 04-29-2014 07:28 PM

Salteredneck I met you at Dr Gilmores office on my visit. Gilmore explained the plavix & niaspan he continues on my regimen of medicines. Glad to see all you guys getting your education, this country certainly needs you! Be proud!
