1. NJ BON for APN

   HemOnc replied to cardiology_aprn's topic in New Jersey

   Hi, this post was from Oct of 2022! It took me 5 weeks from application to approval. I heard that things are a bit slower now.

2. NJ BON for APN

   HemOnc replied to cardiology_aprn's topic in New Jersey

   If you passed your boards and have the certification from AANP or ANCC, I would definitely apply. It takes time to find the right position, interview, and sort out other things. Hopefully, your license will be issued soon! Good luck:)

3. Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

   HemOnc replied to smithdnp's topic in NP

   I definitely see your point, but CNAs are not required to maintain their CNA licenses after they become RNs. NPs are Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, still need that RN license to be an NP

4. Does RN experience affect NP salary quote?

   HemOnc replied to smithdnp's topic in NP

   Depending on the facility and specialty, nursing experience does play a role in the scenario you mentioned above. A nurse with relevant experience of 10 years should be paid more than someone with 2 years. It's called equity. Yes, they are both ...

5. Studying for AANP, PSI vs. APEA?

   HemOnc replied to kokofnp's topic in NP Students

   I passed my AGNP (AANP) boards 6 weeks ago, bought neither the PSI nor the APEA exams. So I apologize for the irrelevant response!! What I did: For pure exam-style questions, I bought a 5-test package on Examedge. It was fairly cheap and m...

6. NJ BON for APN

   HemOnc replied to cardiology_aprn's topic in New Jersey

   Mine took exactly 5 weeks from application to approval. I had to call them every 10 days or so to get an update. It also helps to tell them that you already have an NP job that is waiting for the license number.

   HemOnc replied to Shriya Trivedi's topic in NP

   Congratulations on passing the boards!! I passed mine 6 weeks ago. Rutgers has an online course that meets the requirements for the pharmacology hours.

8. LPN licence renewal after becoming RN

   HemOnc replied to HemOnc's topic in New Jersey

   Thank you all for your responses! I will buy malpractice on my RN license and not renew my LPN license in 2016:)

9. LPN licence renewal after becoming RN

   HemOnc posted a topic in New Jersey

   I recently became a Registered Nurse and my LPN license expires in 2016. I live in NJ and know that it's one of those states will automatically let you practice within the scope of your highest licensure if you hold multiple licenses. Do I have to k...

10. Officially Enrolled!

    HemOnc replied to knurse2b's topic in Excelsior

    The biggest disadvantage with online/ non-traditional learning for me was the lack of a peer network. I was all by myself and it was a total learning experience. Does Excelsior prepare you for the NCLEX? I would say, it somewhat does. It familiarize...

11. Officially Enrolled!

    HemOnc replied to knurse2b's topic in Excelsior

    My post sounded perfect, but I certainly did NOT start out efficiently! That's the 'trial and error' part, which is why I try to tell people not to repeat the mistakes I made! I was officially enrolled on Oct 2011 and took Information Literacy right...

    Thanks Tara0219 for all the useful info!

13. New to the concept of nursing and Excelsior... Help!

    HemOnc replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior

    Set yourself short-term and long-term goals. Make it a priority to take an exam at least every 4 weeks if not sooner. I bought SG101 and used Quizlet along with the Excelsior practice exams. The FCCA exams can be taken together and will take 8 weeks...

14. Just Finished WGU RN-BSN

    HemOnc replied to Tara0219's topic in Western Governors

    Congratulations and thank you for the feedback! I stumbled upon WGU on allnurses last week and have been considering it for my RN-BSN. I graduated from Excelsior and was actually going to go back and get my BSN with them, but WGU seems like a faster,...

15. Officially Enrolled!

    HemOnc replied to knurse2b's topic in Excelsior

    I graduated from Excelsior's LPN-RN this past July and passed my NCLEX as well:) I did not buy any textbooks while I was enrolled, but used SG101 and Quizlet. I also bought all the practice exams. Before starting to prepare for any exam, I would pr...
