  4. How long did it take to schedule your NP exam?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to christvs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  6. For the ACNP's, why acute care?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    well, i just posted this elsewhere... but here's my rationale: 1. in my area, fnps are being pushed out of inpatient medicine 2. i originally thought i wanted to work for a hospitalist group because i...

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to mp478's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    as for job searches upon completion, no... it does not matter. i have done quite a bit of job searching and secured a job as well... and all they want is for you to be certified. they don't care which...

  20. Emergency Nurse Practitioner programs?

    DaisyRN, ACNP replied to CraigBSN02's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
