yes!! thank you for replying I wasn't sure how to tag you in the comment to direct the question to you. Due to changes to allnurses.com and I have just now started using allnurses again, I am unable to PM you. But would you be able to foresee any pros and cons of obtaining an FNP vs ACNP to do RNFA?

I am currently trying to decide which route to purse RNFA. I am a General Internal Oncology Medicine RN with 2 years experience. Any advice which route would be best? I am in the middle of applying for graduate school for NP. Plan 1: Get my FNP then pursue RNFA? Should I switch in to OR while I'm in school for FNP? Right now I am only qualified to get into FNP due to my current work experience. Plan 2: Switch to ICU, pursue ACNP, then RNFA? which leaves me with no OR experience. The only reason why I am considering this is in hopes of the ACNP would better prepare me as a RNFA. This route I could start FNP school at first while gaining ICU experience then before graduating switch over to ACNP. Since the first semester or so are the same for all types of NP programs this switch would allow me to switch over with no delays. (I know someone that applied for ACNP but didn't get it because she didn't have ICU experience but the advisor said they will accept her into FNP first and for her to obtain ICU experience and they will switch her over to ACNP when she gets into ICU) If anyone has any advice, I would gladly appreciate it!

What state do you work in and would you mind sharing what your salary is? I'm just trying to get a ball park since theres different ranges of RNFA and RNFA that is an ANP like your self. Which is currently what I am pursuing.

Luckily I do not just this and work part time but my job is really flexible! Yay I'm excited now thank you!

Thank you missnurse01! Do you think it's ok to take it in the summer? Sorry for these tideous questions it's just there were programs that I was in before and they didn't like upper class sciences and math at a community college nor it taken during a summer session.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if where the organic chem class is taken at a community college or a university matters? I have attempted to take orgo but dropped it because I switched career paths, but now here I am again. Does it matter where it's taken?

I'm so excited, I came home and found my acceptance email today and jumped for joy! I couldnt believe my eyes! I'm so excited to meet you guys soon. Another round of interview is coming because my friend just received an email.they didn't say that she has an interview exactly, but it wasn't a rejection letter!!! So I'm excited for her too

Also it is true that it was more of a casual conversation than an interview! Good luck to everyone!

My interview today was good. I hope! But after talking to my interviewer, she made me realize that commute would probably be best since clinicals will vary per semester, there's possibilities of them being in the medical center so it would be pointless to move out there since I'm from Houston. she told me they will let me know in 4 weeks and to call if I don't hear anything by then.

If I do get accepted I am deinately moving there, not sure on campus or off most likely off

Julianne, Did you ask questions after your interview?

Thank you Julianne! That was really helpful!

For the ones going to the interview, are you guys bringing any documents along? Or anything besides your Id?

I submitted my application on the 12th of January. So just a few days before the deadline. I just received my invitation for an interview a few days ago
