Thanks. This is a start. I was hoping to hear from someone and their experience based on practice exams and the like. Once your transcripts show your degree you can submit them electronically to AACN. They received them the day after I paid my regis...

Not an FNP, but just graduated UW's AGNP AC track. FWIW, there's a big BIG focus on underserved populations, health disparities and health equity in the first year of the program. The SON in collaboration with the other health science schools hosted ...

This sounds very much like the UCSD neurovascular program. I really wanted to apply but can't uproot my family or leave them for a year while being the sole provider. My next job is going to try to emulate the curriculum plan they have online as much...

Bumping this. I'm scheduled to take the exam in a month and am wondering what the passing percentage is. I know it's a dynamic scoring system, but at the same time, it would be nice to know if I'm getting x% correct on the practice exam I should be o...

In my nursing school clinicals there was an NP who worked for CTS that rounded on the step down units. She had 30 minutes scheduled each day to do a brief informal brown bag with a unit of her choosing. Topics ranged typically on what she perceived n...

You guys got me feeling good about my chosen path! I'm 4/10 quarters into my AGNPAC DNP. As a former navy corpsman, paramedic and critical care ER nurse, you're just reaffirming my decision to go into the acute care track versus primary or FNP. If o...

I have some theories... The DNP doesn't have the same rigor as the PhD. This is a selling point for some by being able to market a doctorate without typically requiring a thesis or the detailed research involved. Even though the DNP is described as t...

Would it be too out of place to speak with leadership, express what you're currently sensing in the work environment (without be accusatory) and asking for time to find new employment before any "drastic measures" are taken? I've had a similar, yet n...

Don't be discouraged. GO TO THE INFORMATION SESSIONS! I cannot stress this enough. Everything you need to know to have a competitive application comes directly from the sessions. I would say that a large number of the people who actually attended t...

I can appreciate your enthusiasm and enjoyment of pursuing higher education. I, however, am in a DNP program and agree with others that much of it is "fluff." I'm not being taught to examine scientific literature any more than I did in my ADN to BSN...

Positive impact = options for future career changes or opportunities potential for more credibility depending on the work environment better understanding of administrative and ethical considerations terminal degree Everyone has their own opinions...

You guys got me stressing now. I start my DNP in the fall... It's a core 1 year didactic front loaded for all tracks which then split off into individual clinical tracks for year 2. They make you go through the theory and nursing courses as an entire...

I've worked with a couple people who thought that by attaining every degree and certification under the sun would therefore qualify them by default to a ton of quick career ladder jumps. Alphabet soup at the end of your name doesn't make you a better...

I got my acceptance today for the AGNP-AC track. Congrats to everyone who got their letters today!

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm still sitting here waiting.

That sucks! Sorry @mzjanedoe. You're the first one to get anything (or at least let us know). How hard was the app for SPU? Did you have to take the GRE?

So, reviewing this thread.... https://allnurses.com/post-graduate-nursing/university-of-washington-898734-page8.html In 2014, first announcements were received this week in March. In 2015, first announcements were received on what would be next Monda...

The grad school application website says they will notify you of their decision via mail and email. I'm assuming the website will update the status as well. Right now I've been in "submitted" status since submission on 1/9/16. I'm hoping we hear soon...

I remember some study I read a couple years ago that showed certain tubing will absorb ~5-10% of the insulin over time. It is real, I swear. I'm not sure if this was the specific paper I read or not, but give this a go. "Waste not, want not": determi...

The Neuro Rehab experience will not benefit unless you're really good at selling yourself. The dialysis time may help more since you have to be more prepared for unforeseen circumstances and you operate with more flexibility with protocols working wi...

Echoing statements from early in this thread, keep them separate. Each program was difficult for its own reasons. No matter how flexible one school may be, the rigors are too much to do concurrently. Medic school is exhausting thanks to dealing with...

We have a similar situation at the hospital I am at. Good old boys club with an old school conservative culture. In the ER the group has decided only PAs would supplement their practice. They are treated poorly in my opinion and are not valued for th...

As an ER Nurse and Paramedic I was returning home from a conference when a call was made on the flight. I waited until they asked a second time and I got up. No one was filming to my knowledge. It was a younger adult who just had a near syncopal epis...

Doesn't stop me from checking every day. :) I was hoping there would be more of a crowd here, especially with the amount of applicants they get every year.

~1 month away until we know. Despite this, I am still checking the application website as part of my daily routine now.
