Oh and to people who did apply I got an email stating I was accepted and would receive my snail mail soon, although it too was in the mail (same day ish hard to tell I was out of town and my husband was home) the letter was dated Sept 9th but I got my email on 26th of Aug. hope this helps.

Have another question for you. Did you pay for the Hipaa course and osha/bbp course or did you submit one from a work requirement at your job you had at the time to the castle branch thing?

Literally adaptive testing. Questions get harder and easier based off your answers. The more you miss the more questions you take. The test wants you to pass and there is literally and algorithm and line in which you will pass. Unfortunately there is probably an area(s) you are weak in. Was there a category or questions that seemed similar to you. The people you have conferred with, did they take a review course prior to taking the test? Did you? Sex literally has zero bearing on the number of questions. Just preparedness of those taking it, and the 15% that the computer mandates.

I’m order not tempered my bad.

I would also like to add one more. You also might not even possess the necessary qualities that an Icu nurse has and may not end up working in that area. I have seen plenty of new grads and experienced nurses alike not able to make it through their Icu orientation as some people never progress.

Well first off I would like to state the obvious elephant I the room here. You are in the tech industry and are desiring to switch to the medical field. You feel medical school will take too long and are desiring a large paycheck. 1. First you will need to be accepted into some nursing program luckily or hopefully you already have a bachelors in some field and can do an accelerated program. If not if you are desiring to do some post graduate degrees you will need to have that bachelors in NURSING. 2. I would like to add in all these fields you need experience. For ICU which you will need in tempered to even be considered into a CRnA or ACNP you will have to have at a minimum 1 year on your own. I say this as many places have their new grads go through a residency program which can be 6 mos or longer. 3. Now you have 1 year experience you are now in a pool with thousands of other seeking graduate education. You will be competing with others who have 5, 10, 15 years or more of nursing under their belt on top of connection and recommendations from their peers certified in their fields. Don’t be shocked if things don’t happen on an immediate timeline for you. 4. I hope you are not simply wanting to switch careers as you think it will be a good paycheck. First off depending on your location NPs and CRNAs aren’t pulling the salary you are envisioning in your mind. Nursing especially when you are gaining experience you will be in a bedside nursing setting. You will be cleaning human feces most likely liquid. I don’t know if you have ever smelled c diff or a gi bleed but you will learn, festering wounds, sputum, emesis, etc on top of doing intensive monitoring of your patients. When you are working in a Icu you don’t have nursing assistants on the floor. It’s total care. Definitely not trying to deter you but you are in for a long haul and hopefully it’s not for a paycheck. 5. No you aren’t going to be working a 8-5 job and going to school. Clinicals are generally 7a-3or 7p depending on the course and m-f on university schedule.

Just looking to see all who have applied to this program for this time frame or is presently attending the University of South Alabama for the Dual Role DNP program Acute Care Nurse Practitioner/Family Nurse Practitioner. I have applied to Spring 2020. fingers crossed. For those who are past/current students. How long from the application closing date did you get a response of a yay or nay? Was your time requirements on campus dates sent to you immediately? I see a lot of clinical sites for my area? Do I need to make all the contacts or is there a resource/faculty there who helps aid in this? Has anyone used a GI bill at this university? was it easy to navigate? Did you work part time or full time while enrolled? Any other tips/advice.

I am applying for the spring 2020. anyone already started this program?
