PGH feedback

good day fellow nurses! I'm about to have an exam this january 20 for the APCN, I just would like to know what will be our attire? Is it in clinical white uniform or just in civilian attire? thanks a lot everyone and happy new year!

no. you don't have to wear clinical white uniform. :)

once you passed and you are on duty, you'll be required to wear clinical white uniform. for females, they'll advise that you wear pants instead of the skirt. God luck on your exam! :)

hi, do you know the coverage of the exam?

smo2886 · Jan 7, 2011

the coverage of exam:

multiple choice and dosage of calculation.

mostly about med-surg

im not so sure about the next submission. they usually post it on the training board when you can get the dean's form or you may try calling their office. apcn is only held twice a year and you can only get the dean's form from the office.

just for clarification the dean's form from the website of pgh is different from the dean's form for the training. the dean's form for the training is only limited. they only release 200 forms and out of the 200 applicants, 50 will be only selected for the training. their criteria will be your GWA, board rating and examination score.

Good luck! :)

do the deans form still available? Or should we wait again for another batch? any reply would really help.

the dean's forms have control numbers that are only released upon the discretion of the DNET office. they hold the APCN program twice a year which means that they only release the forms twice a year. Last time, they only released 200 forms and selected the top 50 who took the exam. (The other criteria for selecting the 50 people are GWA and board rating.) Call their number and asked to be connected to the DNET office to make more inquiries. :)

Good luck!

i'll be having my apcn on jan 20 as well, but a friend of mine who took the exam the exam last jan 10 said that jan 10 was the only date for the exam and that there was a mistake about the jan 20 date... is this true?

i think it's january 10 and 20... what's written in my slip's january 20. I think PGH isn't foolish enough for not noticing that in case the exam's only january 10.
