1. Confused!! Post masters or DNP

   uncnp replied to supernursejason's topic in NP Students

   Oh and also there is no fluff, it is all clinical except you do write one paper comparing the scope of practice for primary care vs acute care NP, this however was helpful for me as I understood better the issues around this whole debate better after...

2. Confused!! Post masters or DNP

   uncnp replied to supernursejason's topic in NP Students

   The content of the program was great. You have either videotaped or recorded lectures to complete, you write 3 papers during the clinical course and take exams online during the other courses. I had been a Hospitalist NP for 6 years at that point a...

   uncnp replied to supernursejason's topic in NP Students

   I completed the Upenn program in 2014 and it was awesome, distance based and able to complete at my own pace, the content was excellent, had no problem passing ANCC AG-ACNP on first attempt. You need to be certified as ANP or FNP with at least a year...

7. The hospitalist dilemma

   uncnp replied to sauce's topic in Advanced

   I have been an FNP for over 10 years and have been working in hospitalist work for the majority of that time. I have also gone back and now passed the AGACNP exam. This is my perspective/opinion and it's going to differ from some on here. I gradua...

8. Post Grad DNP with ACNP concentration

   uncnp replied to ryguyRN's topic in Doctoral

   I think that University of South Alabama does this, I just know as I was looking for post master's agacnp programs for myself last year

9. NP to DNP - trying to decide

   uncnp replied to saraltx's topic in Doctoral

   This was exactly my feeling- the school I was accepted into would have been very expensive and while the idea of doing it was interesting the cost would have been at least 45k and that was with me bringing in 6 credits from my post master's program, ...

11. NP to DNP - trying to decide

    uncnp replied to saraltx's topic in Doctoral

    This is where I am as well, just not sure that I want to spend the money when it won't change much if anything of what I do or what I am paid.

12. NP to DNP - trying to decide

    uncnp replied to saraltx's topic in Doctoral

    I have contemplated this exact question this year, I have been accepted into a big name program to start next year but I have come to think over the last couple of months that I am not sure that I will start it, I am just not really sure what it will...

15. FNP or PNP

    uncnp replied to jcubb's topic in Advanced

    I started out as an ANP student and reapplied to my school as an FNP after I started classes, I did it to be more marketable and I have not regretted this
