  1. Texas Tech NP 2016

    Got my acceptance letter for the AGACNP program at 5:03pm today! Keep an eye on your emails!
  2. Texas Tech NP 2016

    I haven't heard anything! Was thinking I might see an email today. Guess they are waiting until the very last minute...
  3. Texas Tech NP 2016

    Curious if any 2017 applicants have heard back? I was expecting to hear back towards the end of September but I'm getting antsy!!
  4. Texas Tech NP 2016

    I applied to AGACNP... I have no idea how many applied vs how many are accepted? I do know however, that they typically have less applicants for the Spring semesters, so hopefully that can be a benefit to all of us.
  5. Help nursing degree associates or bachelors

    I had a similar experience in college. I was studying biology, originally planning to go to medical school. After two years as a biology major, I realized that going to 4-8 more years of schooling after my bachelors (and taking on a lot of debt) did ...
  6. Texas Tech NP 2016

    I am applying to the AGACNP masters program. The 3 Ps are included in my program track so I don't have any advice, unfortunately. The application process has been frustrating for me as I feel no one responds to my questions/emails in a timely manner....
  7. Anyone else studying for CCRN exam?

    For those of you who have taken the exam, do you have any advice for the "Professional Caring and Ethical Practice" section? I am surprised that it is 20% of the exam...same as CV! Are these questions common sense, or would it be worth studying that ...
  8. The death of nursing

    I really loved this post, as sad as it made me. I have been working in the ICU for just two years, and I can say that I have learned everything I know from nurses like you! I am definitely the youngest in age AND experience on my unit so I can say th...
  9. GN to NP in <1yr

    After reading through this entire thread, I just think its silly how so many nurses just can't respect the role of an NP!? And for a REGISTERED NURSE to be refusing her loved to be seen by a "midlevel practitioner"?! Wow! Way to NOT be an advocate fo...
  10. GN to NP in <1yr

    To each his own. And why would you feel sorry for her? OH right your just trying to be condescending.... Everyone has different career goals. And everyone takes different paths to reach their career goals. It's so strange to me how the culture of exp...
  11. License by endorsement questions

    I just received my permanent Illinios license (from Texas) this week so I know ALL of these answers! :) 1.) First of all, a TRASCRIPT WILL WORK. I sent the Illinois department an official UNOPENED transcript from my university which was way faster t...
  12. Finding replacement for time off...

    My unit does self scheduling. The manager simply "evens out the days" once everyone has submitted their schedule to make sure we have adequate staffing each day. So you might get one or two days switched from your original schedule each month. Every ...
  13. The Battle of Day vs. Night Shift

    Nursing is unique in that the actions/mistakes/work ethic/etc of the nurse who precedes me, can directly effect my shift. I think this is where the hostility towards the other shift might stem from. Ex: When you come onto shift and you patient's pres...
  14. i think im going to get fired at my first job

    It sounds like this environment is not very conducive to learning. When I was going through my training as a new grad (just two years ago), my managers were constantly asking me, "How is your preceptor?" "Is she/he a good match for you?" "Do you feel...
  15. What is your best experience in nursing?

    I was taking care of an elderly gentleman who was actively dying in the ICU. He did not want to be intubated but was requiring the Bipap mask at all times. He couldn't tolerate taking it off at all - not even for sips of water or PO meds. Throughout ...
