1. Liability Ins.

   CaseAlum replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in NP

   I was actually getting ready to renew my NSO policy and was referred to Marsh by a colleague. The rate is $400 less through Marsh. I also heard of Marsh through the AACN. It's strange because none of my NP colleagues carry their own insurance, but...

   Congrats! I'm taking the AACN version in 2 weeks! Was there alot of primary care on the ANCC version?

3. ACNP AACN exam?

   CaseAlum replied to CaseAlum's topic in NP

   Yes, I'm in Ohio. It was just accepted by the state about 6 months ago. After using Barkley's review CDs, I'm noticing that there isn't as much critical care as I thought in - However, Barkley states that his review is valid for all certifying bodi...

   Has anyone taken the AACN version of the ACNP exam?? I will be taking it in a few weeks. I've heard it's alot like the CCRN exam? Can anyone give me any input? THanks

5. ACNP malpractice insurance?

   CaseAlum posted a topic in NP

   I've read other posts regarding primary care NPs carrying their own malpractice insurance. However, if I'm working in an ICU at a large teaching hospital, would it be wise to carry my own insurance? Of course, the hospital says that I am "covered"...

   CaseAlum replied to CaseAlum's topic in NP

   Thanks for the post. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of PRN NP jobs?? What about not working as an NP for a few years.... will it be difficult to get back into the job market after not working for a few years to raise a family?? I feel like I wa...

8. ACNP and motherhood

   CaseAlum posted a topic in NP

   Hello guys, I will be starting an ACNP program this Fall. I"ve been a critical care RN for 3 years and am married with no children. Im in Cleveland and have searched local ACNP jobs and almost all of them are full-time. Very few are part-time an...

9. Advice from acute/critical care NP's

   CaseAlum replied to CAPRN77's topic in NP

   Thanks Pinoy for the response . I was/am also in teh same boat regarding ACNP vs CRNA. I ultimately chose ACNP because I didnt think I'd be happy in the CRNA role. I initially applied to CRNA school, was wait-listed, then accepted - I turned down th...

11. CRNA/SRNA Alternates soundoff

    CaseAlum replied to Sleepy 7's topic in SRNA

    I'm an alternate at Case. I got the letter about 5 weeks ago. They only accept 23 students. I have no idea where I am "in line " to be called. I considered emailing the program director to see when the deadline for the accepted students fees is....

    CaseAlum replied to CaseAlum's topic in SRNA

    That would be crazy - starting CRNA school after the program has already started!!! I would have to give my 2 weeks notice at work to go PRN. Does anyone know when Case's "acceptance" deadline is? I should just email them. I hate how my future i...

    CaseAlum posted a topic in SRNA

    How long did you have to wait from the time you were notified you were an alternate to the time you got "the call" or "the letter"? This waiting is killing me. My future is hanging in the balance....

14. I'm an "alternate " at Case, what the heck?!

    CaseAlum replied to CaseAlum's topic in SRNA

    yea, that's ridiculous. It's not worth it at that point. And having to quit your job or go PRN - you need to give them 2 weeks notice for that.

15. I'm an "alternate " at Case, what the heck?!

    CaseAlum replied to CaseAlum's topic in SRNA

    I did not apply to any other schools. As you can see by my user name, I went to Case for undergrad. If I do not get in this time, I will reinterview in the Fall, but I may consider applying to Akron. I can't relocate due to husband's local busines...
