EAP0812

I need some help! Are there any other accepted Pre-specialty ACNP (or not pre-specialty) people out there? Even better- any current vandy pre-specialty students who are or know ACNP students?? I am having a lot of trouble deciding whether to pursue this track (acnp pre-s) or to go for my absn first. Everyone seems to have a different opinion! I know AC is what I want to do, but I keep being told by older nurses I speak with that with Acute Care inparticular, it will be really hard to get a job without nursing experience straight out of school and that in order to go into Acute Care I should have at least a year of other nursing experience. Multiple people are stressing to me that I need to practice with a BSN before going for ACNP, not just np but acute care specifically as opposed to another specialty. Thoughts?? Experiences?? Words of wisdom?? I appreciate it!

So sorry I have been absent from the board! To answer someones question- I still have to finish Micro but that is it! Also- I will be at the open house tomorrow, hope to see any/all of you tomorrow! I am pre-specialty ACNP

Thanks! Letter only for me- no email

Hey y'all! I just found out yesterday that I got in for pre-specialty ACNP (and yesterday was my birthday- good timing!) I'm still in so much shock I can't even believe I am currently writing this. I plan on going to the open house on the 3rd. I'm so excited! I still have 1 more pre-req to finish, does anyone (in for pre-specialty) have any to finish before the start of the program?
