   CiaMia replied to Erin Lee's topic in NP

   Hi! Slight error above - AANP does NOT offer acute care NP certification. Certification is either ANCC (AGACNP-BC), or AACN (American association of critical care nurses - the same entity that administers the CCRN certification) (ACNPC-AG)

   Hi everyone! I'm starting my first (acute care) NP rotation this upcoming semester, and am a bit... um, petrified? Apprehensive? haha. I'm an RN, been working just about 2 years. Currently in stroke/tele, but paid my dues with a year of med/surg/tele...

8. DNP Question- Please help!

   CiaMia replied to jaimewestlund's topic in Doctoral

   I would think so, regardless of state...? The term refers to a level of educational preparation, and isn't exclusive to being a physician. I've never heard of this varying by state! Though, granted, there are definitely work environments (inpatient e...

   CiaMia replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in NP Students

    CiaMia replied to Alexx_xox's topic in New Nurse

    You do it/pay when it's available, so 2 days after you take the test. If it's not available exaaaactly 48 hours after you tested, don't panic. That happened to me, I kept checking back exactly 48 hours after I finished thinking I'd be able to pay and...

    CiaMia replied to Alexx_xox's topic in New Nurse

    It depends on the state. Some states participate in Pearson Vue's "Quick Results", where you sign in to your Pearson Vue account 2 days after the test, pay about $8 (I think) to view whether you passed. Sometimes, the state board posts the license in...

    CiaMia replied to Kadaigneault's topic in School Programs

    Yep! Search the MA board, lots of info on there. I did it. It is very intense. First semester, it's all classroom learning and lab: plan to be at school 8-5 M-F with maybe a half day or so thrown in. Clinical rotations go like this: Provider I (Med/S...

    So the Pearson Vue Trick/PVT/popup trick is when you try and register for NCLEX again after you have taken it - there was a glitch in the system in that you could "find out" if you passed when the website would give you a message to let you know you ...
