Hi! Slight error above - AANP does NOT offer acute care NP certification.
Certification is either ANCC (AGACNP-BC), or AACN (American association of critical care nurses - the same entity that administers the CCRN certification) (ACNPC-AG)
Hi everyone! I interviewed for a position at DeKalb, and wondered if anyone is familiar and could share their experiences? I've checked out GlassDoor etc. and searched the archives but it seems mostly to be about the residency programs (I'm not a new...
Hi everyone! I'm starting my first (acute care) NP rotation this upcoming semester, and am a bit... um, petrified? Apprehensive? haha. I'm an RN, been working just about 2 years. Currently in stroke/tele, but paid my dues with a year of med/surg/tele...

I would think so, regardless of state...? The term refers to a level of educational preparation, and isn't exclusive to being a physician. I've never heard of this varying by state! Though, granted, there are definitely work environments (inpatient e...

Just to clarify that an NP program *is* an MSN (or DNP) program. In order to be eligible for NP licensure, you prove to the state's nursing board that you have completed study at the graduate level and passed applicable credentialing exams for your s...
You do it/pay when it's available, so 2 days after you take the test. If it's not available exaaaactly 48 hours after you tested, don't panic. That happened to me, I kept checking back exactly 48 hours after I finished thinking I'd be able to pay and...
It depends on the state. Some states participate in Pearson Vue's "Quick Results", where you sign in to your Pearson Vue account 2 days after the test, pay about $8 (I think) to view whether you passed. Sometimes, the state board posts the license in...
Yep! Search the MA board, lots of info on there. I did it. It is very intense. First semester, it's all classroom learning and lab: plan to be at school 8-5 M-F with maybe a half day or so thrown in. Clinical rotations go like this: Provider I (Med/S...
So the Pearson Vue Trick/PVT/popup trick is when you try and register for NCLEX again after you have taken it - there was a glitch in the system in that you could "find out" if you passed when the website would give you a message to let you know you ...
Hey Alex! Been following you over on IG for a while! :) nice to see you here! For NCLEX... here's what helped me!! - do NOT try and study the day before. Really. By that point, you'll either know it, or you won't. Review critical values or something ...
Love this thread!! Professional/Nursey-goals: - Get off orientation in job I just started, and get involved in the unit council. - Prepare for CMSRN and PCCN and take exams when I'm eligible in November. - Keep going in MSN/DNP program. One foot in f...
At the end of the program you'll do a 3-day (I think) HURST review for NCLEX. This reviews core content and test-taking strategies. You schedule the NCLEX independently, so you can take as much or as little time as you are comfortable with. I persona...
Hi NYCRN92, Another from (religiously observant) RN here, haha. I hear you. There was a thread a while back where I gave a run-down of what being in the hospital on shabbat/chagim (holy days) looks like. It came up for me when I was precepting/orient...
