BSN- DNP University of South Alabama fall, 2013
csweetooth, I decided to do BSN-DNP and will be starting the program in Fall, 2013. I hope I will like it and I am very enthusiastic about it. You will have to apply first to NURSINGCAS then do the supplemental application to the school with additional payment. I wasn't called for an interview. NURSINGCAS will review your transcript with the additional paperwork,, then send it to the school where they will make their decision about accepting you or not. After their deliberation, they will send you an acceptance letter with packet which you will fill out and send back to the school. Thanks for the goodluck wish and I wish you same.

Women's Health vs Family NP
I like FNP but the school that accepted me for FNP is a private university and costly. The school I will be going to accepted me for the Emergency Adult/FNP acute care. I was kinda concern that I will have to take NP or FNP exam separately. Do I really need FNP/NP? Are there so many options as to where I can practice? Am I limited to just the ER? Thanks a lot

University of South Alabama, MSN Emergency NP Dual Role, Spring 2012 start
Thanks NYCRN16, are you talking out of fact or what you think it is? i think you have a good point. There are some people with FNP that work in adult ICU, how do they satisfy the pediatric aspect of their requirement?

University of South Alabama, MSN Emergency NP Dual Role, Spring 2012 start
I know u ladies are well into ur program, congrats to u all. I am accepted into the AENP but due to my inexperienc in ER, I will be doing extra 120 clinical hours. My question is, can I change to FNP since I have 7yrs med-surg experience or do I stick it out. I am also thing of doing FNP instead of AENP. When one finishes, are we supposed to take both FNP exam and NP exam or one can cover both. I am sorry if I sound distorted but just need more light on these. Thanks for any advice.

BSN- DNP University of South Alabama fall, 2013
Got my acceptance letter from university of South Alabama and have couple of questions for those of you that are familiar with the prgram. I have 8 years of Med- Surg experience. Before applying to the program, I emailed the co-ordinator about my interest in the Advance emergency (Dual role ANp/FNP) acute care. She said that it wouldnt be a problem since I have med-surg experience. Just got my acceptance letter last week and got to find out that I will need extra 120 clinical hours due to my 'limited experience". I have emailed the co-ordinator but I don't know if transfering to ER will help. Please, I was equally accepted at maryville university for BSN-FNP. i am supposed to start my classes on may 6th and I am yet to call them. I am confused but I know that USA sounds better with respect to the tuition and the degree that I will be coming out with. How doable is the progrqam at USA when one has 3 kids and work full-time? Help, somebody!!

Online BSN-DNP Programs
Just got accepted to USA, Advance emergency acute caredual role. I am excited but at the same time, nervous after reading couple of reviews here. I got accepted at maryville university Missouri to start May 6th 2013 but it is BSN-MSn(FNP). I really like USA cos it is DNP and the tuition is reasonable but at the same time, i heard about them weeding out students. The application and acceptance protocol is outrageous and that makes me think about the actual program. Ok, I have a question, I think I applied for th 11 semester for the fall but I really will like the 12 semester which is the full 4 year part-time program. I work ful time and I have lil children. I am excited but at the same time, nervous. Again, I have 8 years med-surg and when I emailed the DNP co-ordinator, ahe told me that it wouldnt be a problem for me not to be accepted into the emergency {NP/FNP} acute care. Now on my acceptance letter, it daid that I have to do extra 120 clinical hours, so my question is, will they role off the 120 clinical hours if I transfer to emergency room? I already emailed them on friday of last week but have not heard from them. Help, somebody!!

University of South Alabama MSN/BSN-DNP Psych NP 2012
Good day bkennedy, I have a question regards to the emergency track that you are in. I just got accepted last week for fall, 2013 session. I think i chose the 11 semester track but i really want the 12 semester track. How do I change that? Again, the application, acceptance protocol is the most tedious of all the schools, Is that how the school is? Thanks a lot. I've been searching to see if I can get somebody in the program that I am interested in. Thanks for the positive comment about the program, at least....

My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery
God have mercy on the person that did this to this small innocent girl. God have mercy on the person that is causing this 9 year old girl this much pain.I pray that God will heal and erase this memory from this poor girl. i only imagine if this is my child when i am reading this,what will i do. It must be very hard taking care of this poor girl and i know it must definitely be hard for this girl later in life but i know that there is nothing impossible for God.God can heal all wounds.God have mercy on us.

IV Abx?
The right thing to do is to run ur abx on a tbing,then if the person is on ns ivf,piggyback.At times,i get like 250 ml ns and piggy back it esp if it is like 4 or 6 hrs interval abx so that i dont keep chargin and priming new tubing all the time but the right way is running abx alone. Another thing is this,at times,if u want to piggyback and not sure of compatibility,i call pharmacy to maintain safety of my patient.
