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.

Yup headshot photo! Have you heard back from Hofstra yet? I'm just wondering if they offer interviews to all applicants for the NP programs or if that is selection based.

I applied to their AGACNP program for this fall, admissions said similar. They won't be contacting you until after the March 1st deadline and it would be by email. How was the application process like last year? When did they reach out to you and start offering interviews?

Anyone applying this year?

Anyone else applying to Molloy's acute care NP Program for this fall?

Thank you both NPhopefull and ccf! ccf - It's good to know they care about the essay and recommendation letters and weigh that in!

Any idea if they go through each speciality in order, as in work on Primary applicants then Acute Care applicants, FNP applicants (not necessarily in that order obviously)

Hi everyone, wanted to make a thread to anyone applying to Pace's AGACNP program for Fall 2023. Anyone in the program can offer insights to admissions process and interviews. I heard they are selectively, just wondering for anyone who got into the program previously what were your stats and how many years of ICU experience did you have? CCRN? Any tips?

Hi everyone, wanted to make a thread to anyone applying to Hofstra's AGACNP program (not the CRNA dual program) for Fall 2023. Anyone in the program can offer insights to admissions process and interviews.

Hi everyone! I wanted to create a thread to connect with anyone who is applying for Molloy's Acute Care NP Program for 2023 or anyone who has started Molloy's Acute Care NP Program and can offer some insight their admissions/interview process, stats, GPA, ICU experience, CCRN? Any tips or advice.

Not sure if you still need this info, from my understanding it would be the same as North Shore University Hospital's layout for Critical Care fellowship or at the least very similar. Phase 1 (8 weeks): Didactics - ECCO modules broken up into schedules for the week ( they take a lot longer than outlined and require studying - to be successful of course) In classroom learning days - varies each week, usually at least once a week to go over your assigned topic to write up on and work on a group case study, and at most 2-3 days in classroom. One day a week (for us was fridays) for simulations (about 3 hours) and when all assigned coursework for the week was checked : ECCO modules + iLearns. One day a week (for most weeks) on the unit in either an 8 or 12 hour shift depending on how the week scheduled following any preceptor. Towards the end of phase 1 - learning shifts to allow for unit based learning time, mostly at home, or split up days to cover specific skills/training specific to the units, ex: some units cover Lumbar drains, Impella, LVADs, Phase 2: Assigned a preceptor on days/nights - however your unit structures it and follow your preceptor(s) schedule. (8-12 weeks : depending on whether you have experience or are a new grad and how well you do during phase 2). Phase 3 : There is no phase 3 unless you are a new grad, new grads start residency classes during phase 3 that meet once a month. Hope this helps. Just be prepared on phase 1 to dedicate a lot of time to studying and keeping up with the learning as it moves fast.
