Lol my pic has always been the same. Thanks for the info tho. I'm quite autonomous currently at my tertiary care facility, working nights with no physician there, taking call for our team's 80 pts and doing 10-15 admits a night. It'll be a change of pace though I'm sure!

Hey all - Do any of you have insight into the day to day life of a provider working in a critical access facility (rural/regional facility with less than 25 beds)? What do you wish you had there that you would find in a larger facility? Do you prefer a smaller facility over a larger one? Why or whynot? Thanks for taking time to answer these questions!

Either way. Ultimately, I'd just like to know if I were to accept an NP position in Colorado, would my past experiences allow me full practice authority for prescribing. Thank you in advance, Letschill

Hi all- I am 2 years post graduation from an Acute Care NP program, working as a Hospitalist outside of Colorado. I have 4 years of RN experience before that. What will it take to be able to get Full Prescriptive Authority in Colorado? I mean, will my experience count toward the required mentorship, or will I still not be able to prescribe until those 1000 hours of mentorship are completed? I'd like to move to Colorado for a Hospitalist opening but the above is still unclear to me after my online research. Thanks in advance, LetsChill

Congrats, Justin. Very cool and welcome to nursing.

I emailed L.B., who does the clinical placement, and she said that an updated immunization card and/or titer results will suffice for the clinical requirements. Good news for a lot of us. 5 months away!

Has anyone looked into the admitted student requirements? New Students | Vanderbilt University School of Nursing Anyone going to start these ahead of time?

Accepted!! Direct Entry ACNP on campus!

Haven't heard a word. I'm doing the direct entry. You?

Congrats to the first on this thread to be accepted! #runningtomymailboxrightnow

Tons of new grad NP jobs out there. I have the Indeed.com app. I just typed in 'New Grad Nurse Practitioner' and right now I am getting 1,759 results. Now of course location, specialty, and salary are all factors but there are jobs. Period.

Anyone out there applying for the Direct Entry Acute Care NP?

Probably depends on how many credits you take per semester and how many clinical clock hours you are required. Sounds doable though. The NP programs I've looked into total around 40 credits or so plus clinical hours. Most ppl I know that have gone through school or are now in a program can work either part time or full time. Some accelerated programs, that'll do such a program in just 12 months or so, will still give time for work, but you have to be very good at time management skills! Good luck in school!
