Hey All! I applied to the ACNP program. I've been a nurse for 3 1/2 years on telemetry, and stepdown. No ICU though...hope that doesn't hurt me. I currently work at UCLA and have a few colleagues that are in the program and really like it. I'm super ...
Hey guys! I'm in the process of writing my statement of purpose for my FNP application and after speaking to a friend of mine, I have a question. My end goal is to work as an NP in a Cardiology(CHF) clinic. My friend says that would definitely be mo...
To be quite honest, I would quit the LVN position and look for a new grad program. Or at least look for a new grad program while working as an LVN. You are an RN. I know you told your manager you'd stay, but honestly, you have to think of yourself. H...

Hey, I work at LCOM and it's pretty great. Had some experience as per diem at St. Marys. Huge downside there is that they use paper charting. That automatically makes it a no go for me

Haha, awesome, we had the same GPA(3.189)! Honestly, as I said, my prereq gpa was pretty good, and my undergrad was meh. I think as long as you show dedication and good work post undergrad, you'll be fine. Also, yeah, I was accepted for Fall 2011, I ...

Ready - Sorry about that, I had actually had planned on changing a different post, and I kept doing it to the wrong post. I had a 3.189 Undergrad(Anthropology) and a 4.0 in prereqs. I had a rough undergrad, and worked my behind off to even that out. ...
