Business day and a half

I know NYU and Hofstra they pick your preceptors/locations for you. Hofstra you can put in requests and they'll accommodate. Molloy and Pace you find your preceptors/sites. And if you are having difficulty- they can help you find one. This is for Acute Care NP though, I would imagine it being little more tricky for FNP programs to find private practice offices to precept

I guess the real question is, will any of these responses/advice offered change your acceptance or start to AGACNP this fall. It seems that you have made your decision to go back for acute care NP which is great because so am I. Just try to get the best experience you can possibly get out of your work experience during graduate studies. The question is never if it's achievable but whether it is recommended, whether you graduate from your profession and gain the respect and knowledge expected out of an advanced nursing practitioner.

I got an acceptance letter today for the Acute Care NP Program AGACNP. Keep an eye out for an email from Pace. Best of Luck everyone !

Congratulation!

I work in a level 1 trauma hospital. ED nurses may care for an ICU patient for a short/brief time while awaiting an ICU bed but it is not comparable. An ICU gives you experience that will greatly help you if going into acute care NP track ( I think cards is what you are interested in I thought I saw). You will learn how to do invasive hemodynamic monitoring, understanding shock states and gain the experience of managing unstable crashing patients while titrating multiple drips at the same time, while managing them on a vent, and maybe a ballon pump, impella, lvad, etc. I worked in a progressive telemetry unit and then went to the CICU before applying for acute care NP school. You don't understand what you don't know until you learn it! It's only after my ICU experience do I feel ready to go into acute care NP because even if I was working on the floors as an NP (not that I plan to) I would still find my ICU experience invaluable and readily useful for unstable patients on the floors or during RRT/Codes. My ICU training was not just moving to an ICU unit and being trained but a full 6 month fellowship with classroom training/simulations/skills training/certifications to use specialized machines for advanced therapies. I strongly recommend you try to get experience in an ICU, even if it is while in the program. Best of Luck! Hope this helped to answer your question.

Nothing yet

An issue I had was the NursingCas emails sent out to my references were going into their "Junk" emails, so I had to inform my references to check their Junk Mail to find the email.

I don't see why not but you should call on Monday and ask the office of graduate admissions to be sure! p

Anyone else accepted into the program? I got offered acceptance to Adult Acute Care NP DNP Fall 2023 this week

dual AGACNP + CRNA

Does Hofstra offer first interviews to all applicants for their NP programs?

Yes - it will be after March 1st.

Well for anyone applying, they said that they review applications on a rolling basis even before their priority deadline, and contact you within 2 weeks. And then an interview and are supposed to contact you with a decision within a week after the interview.
