thanks Trauma! I had not even thought about the CME and practice hour requirements. I will have to reassess my options. Thank you to all the nurses you 'have been there and done that' and who selflessly share their experiences with all of us :)

Congratulations and good luck! Are you starting this fall? Trauma- just curious how long did it take you do the post MSN peds CNS? I am thinking about doing this. Having a hard time looking for a position as a ACNS. Thanks!

Glad I decided to visit Allnurses today bc if not I would of missed out on this great discussion! Thanks everyone for their feedback. I am a new ACNS and my experience thus far has been similar to Trauma's. Here in Texas, it seems that most of the CN...

Good luck to your friend. Are they doing the LVN-RN hospital partner program? I hear that ASU recently won a grant to do that program and they are very excited about it!

well said JJJoy, I have to admit that I posted my comment after reading the first couple of pages of this thread. After doing more reading I think I have a better understanding of both sides. Thanks

Is experience as an RN necc to become a competent NP? I don't have a definitive answer, but here is my line of thinking... to become a PA, you don not have to have any prior health care experience. In fact I know 3 people off the tip of my head who a...

Congratulations! I am so excited for you. Good luck
