Jun 18th I completed the online application July 11th was when they noticed my appplication they also gave me the ok for fingerprinting this day but July 28th, more than 2 weeks later was the first available day August 1- the criminal history background check was completed... ( I'm not sure if it sped up because I had my fingerprinting done in PA for grad school 3 weeks prior to my scheduled NJ fingerprinting day) it's been over 2 1/2 weeks since the last activity and still no info..

I am in my first year of an FNP program working in a SICU as a staff nurse but have grown an interest in specializing in dermatology. I am having a lot of trouble locating NP's who are specialized in dermatology to answer some of my question. Through my many searches I have yet to locate a single dermatology NP in Philadelphia. A portion of my graduate school assignment is to interview someone in the field that I'm interested in. The questions include the historical development of dermatology np regulations in PA for derm np practice what type of setting does the np practice in What apn role does the nurse assume what are the nurse's responsibilities what barriers exist if any, that make it difficult for the nurse to implement the apn role? What resources are available that assist the nurse to implement the APN role? I've researched the DNA, ANA, database searches etc. and have even e-mailed representatives of the dna who haven't had a chance to response yet. I've even travelled an hour for a derm checkup from an np, just to kinda see what is done and she has been kind enough to allow me to shadow her, but unfortunately my assignment is due before I can wait for approval for the shadow date. any help would be appreciated!!!!! thanks

hello! I'm also doing an assignment on an advance practice role. Would love some help with the following questions also. I'm currently taking core graduate classes in Philadelphia with the objective of applying to a CRNA program. Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] for privacy issues. 1 . Where does the nurse practice? 2.Which APN role does the nurse assume? 3. What are the nurse's responsibilities? 4.What barriers exist if any, that make it difficult for the nurse to implement the APN role? 5. What resources are available that assist the nurse to implement the APN role? Conrad- sorry to intrude on your feed, I figured we can share information.
