what has worked for you? Taking the CEN in one week and I am so nervous. I have primarily used [COLOR=#000080]Lippincott's Q&A Certification Review: Emergency Nursing, Second Edition for studying based on its awesome reviews on Amazon. If you have any tips or love to share to reassure me in this last week of figuring out how to pass, that would be great. One year ED exp, but no trauma. Hoping for some positive vibes and some last minute advice Thanks[/COLOR]

Help! Taking CEN in exactly one week. I have one week left to cram. I have been using Lippincott's Q&A Certification Review: Emergency Nursing book and Sheeshy ED Manual - very boring and dry. But now I am starting to freak out. One year of ER exp, but no trauma. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Following. Additionally, I am also in NYC and not all places are accepted by the NYC doe. Wondering if any New Yorkers could shed some light? Online FNP program, affordable, caring staff that are available, manageable workload. Help, theres so much out there, feel like I'm drowning

Thanks for responding! Good grief, i meant South Uni. My mistake. Can you help? I've perused through some of this thread, im not convinced either way. I'm not a strong test taker, im a strong paper writer. How do you think that will help me? have you already graduated?

I am the only leader of a team at a private practice. I work alongside 11 attendings/specialty MDs. Ihave approx 25 MA's below me, who are all older than me. Next week, our private facility is being "bought-out" by a major hospital/league coorp. The MA's are having to learn a new computer system, a new scheduling and registration system and continue with their work load. I would like, as their team leader and only RN at the practice to bring ina survival kit for them all for "go-live" day. Any thoughts, poems, nurse/ma related lines and ideas would be really appreciated!

So i've just started my journey looking for fnp programs. I live in NYC, I registered for Hunter bc it is meant to be a solid program and last week, I got rejected (sad face indeed). I graduated my bsn last may, passed my boards in july and started working in December. I work full time in a primary practice, i do a lot of triage, i do kind of function like an np under 2 attendings, though I do not sign off on stuff. I'm working in a great working environment, cohesive for np training. I'm also broke beyond, half of my salary pays my bsn loans. I need to do this np degree as fast and as humane as possible. I have a 3.3 gpa and I guess i would say that one of my strengths are that I am originally an English major and i actually enjoy writing papers. Can someone please advise? I am a wife, a mom of two kids, I work full time. Do you think USI i a good option for me? Any advice, support, words of wisdom and thought will be greatly appreciated!
