I love how AU and UA fans have united over the Toomer's Corner incident. The guy that did that is an idiot. RTR and WDE indeed! :cheers::cheers:

AUTiger The smileys on here are awesome!

I actually talked to the coordinator the other day and she said they were "in the process" of getting the letters out and probably should be in by Saturday. I would hate to be a nuisance but this is my future career at stake here!!!!!

Yeah I think they're taking their precious little time getting the letters out. Don't they realize the wait is driving us aspiring advance practice nurses insane?!?!

I'm still waiting on my letter to come in. I'm kicking myself for not telling them to email my decision to me:mad:

Hopefully it comes in tomorrow. The wait is killing me!!

End of March?!?! Wow that is so long from now. I have a feeling that I'm going to be sleeping beside my mailbox until that letter comes in.

I signed up for regular mail. Darn it!

Excellent! Did they call you?

I will definitely keep you posted

I graduated with a BS in Health Sciences. I also want to go into acute care, adult acute and continuing care that is. Great minds do think alike!

If you don't mind me asking, what route did your friend take in the program? (CNL, NP, CNS)

Yes, those women you saw at the informational are considered non-traditional students. I just graduated from UA this past December so we are close in age. What day are the informational meetings held? It would be interesting to go to one of those mee...

The wait is killing me as well. I haven't heard anything about the # of applicants, competitiveness, etc of this program at all thus far. I've heard that a lot of people that apply to this program are usually non traditional students.

I have yet to take the TEAS exam, but I know people have already taken it and found the use of study guides from testing sites to be very useful

AUtiger, I talked to someone from UAB today and she told me that we will know whether we are going to receive an interview or not next week.

Not sure if this question has been asked on this website, but I wanted to know if it is possible to be a Nurse Practitioner and some type of Nurse Educator (i.e. Clinical Professor) or is this just a impossible thing to do

So which doctorate would you guys recommend for clinical instruction?

I wanted to know if a APN could teach from a clinical standpoint with a DNP. Sorry for not making it clear.

Can a APN with a DNP teach?

This is all great information! (pulls out notebook and pen)

I will definitely do that. Thank you all for your great responses!

Would it be possible to do one job full-time and the other part-time or should I just decide on one and go with it?

Thank you LaxNurse for your reply. I will be starting my MSN program soon and I wanted to know if I would be able to pursue both of my dreams (ACNP and Nurse Educator). The reason I asked this question was because I had an older individual tell me it...

Thank you all for the great information. I know most require 1 year of critical care experience, but you guys think applicants need more than a year?
