1. Joining national guard

   CCNP-FL replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Government

   I'm an Army Nurse in the National Guard. Just go and get your BSN from any accredited program and then access into the military as a nurse. Don't waste your time going in enlisted -- it will hold back your time getting your BSN done for up to a year...

2. ACNP Transition to CRNA

   CCNP-FL replied to CCNP-FL's topic in SRNA

   Thanks for the response, Bluebolt. I kept looking for some post-masters programs and noticed a couple do exist. It would be nice not to take the theory classes all over again. I have always been impressed with my CRNA colleagues and think that bein...

   Greetings All, I'm an Adult Health NP with (approaching) two years of critical care medicine experience. Additionally from 2013 to 2015, I was a bedside critical care nurse. I'm also finishing up a post-masters certificate in Adult-Gerontology Acu...

4. U.S. Army Comt Medic to Civilian World

   CCNP-FL replied to TheShaman's topic in Critical

   To answer your question: Yes (in my opinion). As a critical care RN at my civilian hospital, I actively serve on the Code Team. We are also the rapid response team and go to pre-Code events as well (this differs on hospital, though). This would f...

   There are MANY schools and as previous posters have said they have varying requirements. University of Miami, Nova Southeastern, many of the South Florida schools offer either a bridge for holders of Science baccalaureates. The requirements are all...

8. ANP vs. AGPCNP/AGNP Certification

   CCNP-FL replied to CCNP-FL's topic in NP Students

   I get the meaninglessness part and understand it really is just a title thing. For me it was one of simple perception. Honestly, I was surprised the intensivst group hired me as well. I have worked with them for two years, so it may have been a go...

9. Acute Care NP after completing Primary Care program?

   CCNP-FL replied to travelea's topic in NP

   I'm following this too. I am in-the-process of applying to post-masters AG Acute Care NP certificate programs. I work in critical care and got hired as a critical care NP, so I feel I need to do this. Unless someone can convince me otherwise with ...

10. How I Passed the AANP Certification Exam Today (Tips and Insights)!

    CCNP-FL replied to CCNP-FL's topic in NP Students

    I liked South, but I went there out of pure convenience. I am a full believer that you get out of school what you put into it. I honestly wasn't a very dedicated student. I spent most of my time outside of practicums learning from the CCU physicia...

12. Cedars-Sinai new graduate Residency program for November 2015

    CCNP-FL replied to Chapinota's topic in Post Graduate

    Question: Possibly a dumb one. I was searching through the Cedars-Sinai website and couldn't find the application and program information for the NP "residency" program. Can someone hook me up! I know this seems ridiculous, but I really couldn't ...

13. ANP vs. AGPCNP/AGNP Certification

    CCNP-FL posted a topic in NP Students

    Hello All! I am happy to say that I have finished my ANP program. It transitioned from ANP to AGNP around the time I was half-way through. My school verified with AANP that I can take either the AGNP-PC or ANP exam. My intent (and what I am curren...

    Any advice on the most expedient/cost-effective PMC in Adult Acute Care? I'm a CCU nurse finishing a primary care adult program looking for a good acute care program so that I can bridge my knowledge into the provider role for an ICU. I have found ...

15. Transition to ICU...Residency?

    CCNP-FL replied to WndrlstRN's topic in Critical

    Hospitals typically advertise these "CCU Residency" programs on their hiring websites. Mine, for instance, just hired 5 nurses for the 12 week program. They are not always easy to find and typically require telemetry experience, but exist :). Good...
