nursing school – Sean P Dent

What do you think about the NY state BSN mandate?

In mid-December 2017 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law a requirement that nurses earn a BSN within 10 years of initial licensure. A decision that affects all nurses throughout the nation.

I offer my answer.

[Warning, this was a YouTube live broadcast. The video is almost an hour long, so have a seat.]

Other topics discussed in this live broadcast:

• When should nursing students apply for their first job

• NCLEX study tips

• Residency programs

When did you know the ICU was for you?

April 17, 2018September 6, 2018 by Sean.Dent, posted in Career Advice, New Nurse, Nursing Student

I still remember THE moment I knew I wanted to be a critical care nurse. Yes, I broke the mold. I eventually was a new grad nurse in the ICU.

Almost 15 years and two degrees later I’m now an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner still working in the ICU.

Yep. You could say I love it.

The #1 piece of advice for ADN nursing students?

March 1, 2018September 6, 2018 by Sean.Dent, posted in Career Advice, Nursing Student

I started my nursing career journey as a diploma graduate, which is quite similar to the ADN = Associate’s Degree Nurse. Both are approximately two years (or less) of didactic learning where you acquire the number of required clinical hours to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam. Upon completion of the ADN program, you will have your Associate’s in Science in Nursing. Whereas the diploma program is just that, you graduate with a diploma (this is usually a hospital-based nursing program). Yours truly started in an 18-month accelerated diploma program many moons ago.

A great question from the tribe. I answer this question, not only for all ADN students, but my piece of advice is applicable to ALL nursing students. Watch the video below:

Does choice of nursing school = career success?

January 10, 2018September 6, 2018 by Sean.Dent, posted in Career Advice, Nursing Student, Pre NP Student

Will I be more successful as a nurse by going to a specific nursing school?
Does your choice of nursing school influence your career success?
Will you be passed over for a job position because you weren’t alumni?

Hmm, another great #heysean question. I think there are two things to think about…

Until next time…
