  1. AACN ACNPC-AG boards

    Thanks. This is a start. I was hoping to hear from someone and their experience based on practice exams and the like. Once your transcripts show your degree you can submit them electronically to AACN. They received them the day after I paid my regis...
  2. UCSF vs UW

    Not an FNP, but just graduated UW's AGNP AC track. FWIW, there's a big BIG focus on underserved populations, health disparities and health equity in the first year of the program. The SON in collaboration with the other health science schools hosted ...
  3. Nurse Practitioner Residencies

    This sounds very much like the UCSD neurovascular program. I really wanted to apply but can't uproot my family or leave them for a year while being the sole provider. My next job is going to try to emulate the curriculum plan they have online as much...
  4. AACN ACNPC-AG boards

    Bumping this. I'm scheduled to take the exam in a month and am wondering what the passing percentage is. I know it's a dynamic scoring system, but at the same time, it would be nice to know if I'm getting x% correct on the practice exam I should be o...
  5. How can I help educate floor nurses as a Hospitalist NP?

    In my nursing school clinicals there was an NP who worked for CTS that rounded on the step down units. She had 30 minutes scheduled each day to do a brief informal brown bag with a unit of her choosing. Topics ranged typically on what she perceived n...
  6. Invasive procedures?

    You guys got me feeling good about my chosen path! I'm 4/10 quarters into my AGNPAC DNP. As a former navy corpsman, paramedic and critical care ER nurse, you're just reaffirming my decision to go into the acute care track versus primary or FNP. If o...
  7. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    I have some theories... The DNP doesn't have the same rigor as the PhD. This is a selling point for some by being able to market a doctorate without typically requiring a thesis or the detailed research involved. Even though the DNP is described as t...
  8. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

    Would it be too out of place to speak with leadership, express what you're currently sensing in the work environment (without be accusatory) and asking for time to find new employment before any "drastic measures" are taken? I've had a similar, yet n...
  9. University of Washington DNP Program

    Don't be discouraged. GO TO THE INFORMATION SESSIONS! I cannot stress this enough. Everything you need to know to have a competitive application comes directly from the sessions. I would say that a large number of the people who actually attended t...
  10. What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    I can appreciate your enthusiasm and enjoyment of pursuing higher education. I, however, am in a DNP program and agree with others that much of it is "fluff." I'm not being taught to examine scientific literature any more than I did in my ADN to BSN...
  11. All the degrees, no job

    Positive impact = options for future career changes or opportunities potential for more credibility depending on the work environment better understanding of administrative and ethical considerations terminal degree Everyone has their own opinions...
  12. All the degrees, no job

    You guys got me stressing now. I start my DNP in the fall... It's a core 1 year didactic front loaded for all tracks which then split off into individual clinical tracks for year 2. They make you go through the theory and nursing courses as an entire...
  13. All the degrees, no job

    I've worked with a couple people who thought that by attaining every degree and certification under the sun would therefore qualify them by default to a ton of quick career ladder jumps. Alphabet soup at the end of your name doesn't make you a better...
  14. University of Washington DNP application '16

    I got my acceptance today for the AGNP-AC track. Congrats to everyone who got their letters today!
  15. University of Washington DNP application '16

    I'm sorry to hear that. I'm still sitting here waiting.
