1. UTEP study group for Fall 2012

   TexeCuter replied to SandyRN1122's topic in NP Students

   The application process is fairly straightforward, no GRE scores or references are required. I will assume UTEP is at least as competitive as the other nurse practitioner programs at tier 2 universities (I am not an insider and have no way to measure...

   TexeCuter replied to nursecass's topic in Texas

   Here's the link to the thread for Parkland's Programs. https://allnurses.com/texas-nurses/parkland-critical-care-160756.html Even though they are geared to new RN's, you might have some luck working something out with them.

6. DFW hospital reviews?

   TexeCuter replied to nursecass's topic in Texas

   Great response to Nurescass, The Commuter. SInce you are an ICU/ER nurse, you may also consider either John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth (a county-run level 1 Trauma Hospital), or Parkland in Dallas (also county Level 1 Trauma, but handles all ...

7. dual FNP/ACNP certification

   TexeCuter replied to jedi88's topic in NP

   Unless, of course, you are interested in providing both pediatric and adult acute care. Then, you will need to complete the core requirements for the entire age continuum! That's why most choose either pedi or adult in critical care. That's an awfu...

8. dual FNP/ACNP certification

   TexeCuter replied to jedi88's topic in NP

   If your ultimate goal is to work in the hospital, then ACNP is the way to go. FNP is intended for primary care APNs. However, if you are interested in FNP and prefer to work in the hospital, you may also take a post-masters' certificate in ED. The...

9. Research RN Roll Call

   TexeCuter replied to anc33's topic in Research

   George Washington Univ. has an excellent sounding Masters in Clinical Research Administration for Nurses, however they have the most redundant and wasteful admissions process. It is just plain ridiculous. 2 friends and I were interested in attending ...

11. Moving to Fort Worth... CVICU/ICU hunting

    TexeCuter replied to RNDoc's topic in Texas

    Harris FW has a gorgeous new CVICU and was hiring recently. Good rep, too, and part of a 13 hospital network. I think they staff about 23-25 CVICU beds. Harris and Plaza (an HCA facility) probably do the majority of cardiac surgeries, with Baylor cl...

14. Scholarships???

    TexeCuter replied to Mountain's topic in Texas

    I'm not a cadet, but the ROTC program has some very lucrative programs for nursing students. Bonuses are given for higher GPA's, they pay your tuition for undergrad and grad school plus a living stipend, and there are tax free benefits, as well. The...
