Hi !

I just applied the AGACNP program and waiting for interview . I have 7yrs experience of ICU and prepare for the AGACNP graduate program..

Any suggestions or tips to prepare this program? reading material ?

I need to work while I am in school, so I am quite nervous..

What is the best preparation for this program ?

Thanks !!

Honestly, working 7 years n the ICU was probably the best thing you could have done.

You'll be fine...you have ICU experience. The program will teach you what you need to know and tell you which books to buy, but my advice is to invest in a copy of The ICU Book by Marino. Also, refresh your pathophysiology knowledge by watching lectures and tutorials on YouTube. There are some excellent ones available. The best thing I ever did for my program was to invest in a subscription to Lecturio. It's a site with medical lectures aimed at medical students. I watched the heck out of that thing. Really well organized. Get it.
