Had my interview today y'all....nothing to fear. No "gotcha" questions. Just things you should already know from your previous research and from writing your application essay: why do you want to be...

Just got an email to schedule interview times for Adult Health CNS. They must be scrambling, because it's Friday afternoon and the interviews are Monday-Weds. I'm glad I'm not coming from out of...

Yikes....no invite here (yet). It was by email? update: have obsessively checked through trash, junk mail, and inbox three times. Nada. Current strategy is to stop thinking about it and hope for...

Here is the list of certifications that will be added and retired in 2013-2014. Info is from ANCC's website FAQ's: ------------- 10. What will the new certifications be and when will they launch? As...

Nope...I thought it was supposed to be mid-December? Is anyone else applying for Adult CNS? And have you read the news about how the ANCC is retiring that certification in 2014? Wondering if they...
PamCNM2Be - I have a million questions (apart from the unanswerable question on everyone's mind: "am I going to get in?")! I applied for the FNP track. I've obsessively read everything available...

Hi everyone - I live in Austin (east side....maybe near you, eastsider!). I'm on my last prereq this semester - pharmacology, which I'm taking at ACC. Hoping to get into the Adult Health CNS. I've...
Man, is it EVER! These programs are insanely expensive, and I'm not expecting to become wealthy as a primary care provider (FNP) in a community clinic. I've applied at a couple of state schools with...
It depends on the situation....if the other surgeon works for the same group as your other doctor, or is employed directly by the hospital/company that approved the charity care, you may be in luck....
I would recommend against going the FACS route if you're certain that you want to be a nurse. You actually won't be able to get jobs titled "social worker" in most states without a social work...
I got a confirmation from Sandra, but I turned in my application really early. I imagine she's buried in stacks of paper by now, so I wouldn't worry too much about not getting confirmation right...
I'm applying for FNP, and I've been out of school for a long time so this is a midlife career change for me. So nervous about this whole process....I applied to Duke and University of TX-Austin as...
Looking Ahead, I like your stance. Trying to adopt the "it's out of my hands now" mindset too, and just chill until we start hearing back...but yeah, the occasional panic attack still occurs
sooooooo....how are y'all coming along on that essay? It's driving me crazy. Same problem others have mentioned - the difficulty answering all the questions as instructed, in order, while sounding...
Hi everyone - I'm applying to direct-entry FNP programs this fall. As we all know, these programs are super-competitive. I anticipate applying to several schools, in the hopes of getting accepted...

Psych in Austin is pretty surprising (and dismal)....at least it was for me. I'm a psychiatric social worker (LCSW), returning to school for nursing, working now doing mostly suicide assessments in...
Hi everyone - After ten years of non-nursing work in clinics and hospitals (as both a medical Spanish interpreter and a licensed clinical social worker) I've decided to return to school to become a...
