Thank you for taking the time to outline these! I am very curious to know what your method of validation is for these areas. I'm also most curious to know what's included under "critical thinking." Thank you again.

I did not purchase anything to study. My unit had a subscription to a testing bank through the ENA website and you can do the practice questions as many times as you want (with rationales). I liked studying on the computer since that's how the test...
I am looking for ideas to improve our orientation program for new hires into the Emergency Department. So far, our staff has a two day corporate orientation, followed by a 3 day hospital-wide clinical orientation for techs and RNs. There are so many ...

Thanks, guys! The interview did go very well, but they chose to hire an experienced IP in the end. They sounded very torn about it, but with the department under-resourced, they really couldn't mentor me. I understood. They tried to petition the ...
iprn and JordiesMomRN, I just wanted to thank you both again for your advice. Can I share an update? I followed your advice and chatted informally with a member of the IP staff after our last committee meeting, and- wait for it- learned of an open...
Thanks, iprn! Your post is so helpful! There is actually an opening in my facility, but requires 3-5 years of IP experience. Not sure how one gains this experience in the field! I am already our unit's IP liaison, but so far we have just spearhe...
I have been working as a staff nurse for several years now in a busy urban Emergency Department and hold a nursing MS degree (a direct-entry CNL program). I have always been interested in transitioning to the IC&P field and am looking for advice...
I wish I had reached the person you did! My Pearson contact had no idea what to tell me. All he said was that if I don't have results available after 48 hours to call back. I can't believe you actually got someone to tell you why your particular r...
Congrats! I had a ton of SATA as well, but I kept telling myself that it was a good sign. Aren't SATA "harder" or "passing-level" questions? Every time I saw one pop up, I forced myself to remember I was still in the passing range, so to just brea...
Congrats on getting the good pop-up! You passed!!! It is SO frustrating to not know for sure. All my other friends got the pop up right away, and their names were up on the BON website the next morning. I wonder if mine will end up being delayed ...
Thanks! Do you know if people are randomly chosen for a review? I didn't do anything out of the ordinary- wasn't the first one done, didn't take any breaks, etc. I wonder if it's because I was wearing a religious head covering. Hmm. I'm sure eve...
