Hi all, I am looking for a program, preferably online, that would fulfill the 30 hour CE in emergency procedures skills for the new AANP ED NP certification. I would appreciate any pointers. Thank you Francisco

My daughter just took it last noc. She studied everyday for a month, I was expecting her to get around75 questions, I got 78 back on the days, however she got 250 questions. She was in there around three hours. She called me crying, hysterical believing that she had fail. I told her to do thePVU trick and she got the good pop up. She came out of the testing site around 2100 last night, it is 0900 today and her license number is up in the board of nursing site. We are in Arizona. Praise The Lord!!!! The trick works.

I have been doing for seven years and I love it. I worked in the ED as RN thus I was very familiar with the job. Good luck, you will love it.

That is exactly my opinion a bunch of nonsense requirements such as college credits?!! after being in practice for more than 10 years.

Hi Juan, I have been working in the ED for 7 years full tome now and I would like to get this certification. I keep going to the ANCC website to apply online, but the link is not active yet. Do you know when are they will start taking applications. Thanks Francisco

I was a Med Tech for 25 years,became a nurse at 45 and a FNP at 50 and I love it. Go for it.

Never mind, it is ( or was?) Delphi. If this was a degree mill and went under, I feel sorry fo this guy because he was really dedicated.

No, I work in ED as NP and there is this RN who is doing this program. He is taking the prerequisites online and he is supposed to just do the clinical rotations in the US. I will ask him the name of the school next time I see him and will let you know.

Hello all, What is the name of the medical school in Panama where you can take online prerequisites? This is an American school geared towards RN's, NP's and PA's. It has a website, but I forgot its name. Thank you

Hello, I recently graduated from Ball State University online MSN/FNP program. I highly recommend it, the only drawback is that you have to get your preceptors in the area where you live. You can check it out at http://www.bsu.edu/nursing/ . E mail me privately, if you have any questions about the program

No offense taken. However, you have to realize that the status of a profession is only a reflection of a society as a whole. Thus, I don't think is fair to compare third world countries' level of Nursing technology development with our own. In this respect, we should compare ourselves with countries with a similar development such as the UK, Germany, Canada, Japan, etc. Perhaps many of the Mexican nurses you have run into in the USA are not really nurses. I know many Mexican CNA's in this country who routinely claim to be nurses in Mexico.

I agree with Zacarias, it is not true that nurses have the same status as a garbage collectors in Mexico because there is a well structured Nursing education. I got my first degree in a Mexican university, a bachelors in medical technology, and this university offered a bachelors in Nursing at the time I was going to school. However, since there is a total lack of regulation of professions in Mexico, anyone can claim he/she is a nurse because there is no enforced licensure in place. Thus, private hospitals and clinics train their own "nurses", which contributes to the belittlement of nursing as a profession. Furthermore, in the large government hospitals, there are only a few nurses who supervise personnel trained on the job with no formal education. The NP role doesn’t exist in Mexico. I have some friends in Mexico with MSN degrees and most of them are in the field of hospital administration. I believe that the only countries with NP’s are USA, UK, Canada, New zealand and Australia.
