looking for Emergency NP program in PA

[19Monica79]

Okay, so maybe I'm putting the cart before the horse (I graduate w/ my ADN in May)... but I'd like to start looking into my options since I'm on this school kick and if I get off the train, I may never get back on. I was hoping someone out there in cyberspace might be able to direct me to a school in the greater Philadelphia area that has a NP program with a focus on Emergent care. I have a BA in another discipline, I don't know if that makes a difference right now (but I hope it will when I try to further my education). Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

THey are few and very far between. The reason is that there is no national test to take after you do the NP in ER care. I know that Loyola in Chicago has one.

Check the NP thread. It's been discussed before. There's also one in Houston.

widener has a [color=#6699cc]emergency/critical care (cns) and family nurse practitioner program. you might be able to do fnp and combine electives from other program. it's only program i'm aware of in the philly area.
