Hello, Anyone currently enrolled at Aspen DNP Program? I am already accepted at Chamberlain for DNP, but then I saw Aspen you for $21K for the program. As to cost, I am gearing towards Aspen, but I have no idea how's the school - need to sp...

Hi Barbara, I am also debating between Chamberlain and Aspen, and I am here to find more information especially from former students. I am a practicing NP now for 4 years, and really looking forward to obtaining my DNP. Aspen is 21K. How are you...

That's what I was thinking for 3.4, check what it was yesterday... if there's a sudden drop what was he/she on to cause the drop? Is it a renal pt? But over all there's no rush. It is not critically low.

I'm going to Newark today. Thank you.

Oh, but I received a confirmation from ANCC that they mailed my verification on September 5. I passed on September 1st, and requested for verification on September 3rd. Yes, they said they wont send any verification to anybody unless it is requested.

I filed my ANP license to NJBON in June, I graduate in July 2017, processed everything, paid all the required fees etc. The only thing that was missing is me passing the boards. September 1st I passed ANCC FNP Board Exam. ANCC sent my verification to...

What is the email address?

Hi, I am sorry that you failed the first time, do it again soon. I took ANCC on September 1st and passed. I reviewed for 6 weeks, the first 4 weeks I did Hollier videos, Leik book, Leik App, Board Vitals, FNP Mastery and the APEA QBank. Then August ...

I'm sorry to hear that. How did you prepare for the test? I did Hollier, APEA qbank, Leik book, Leik app, boards vitals and Fitzgerald online review and passed ANCC last September 1st. I spent 2 months preparing for this test. In between that 2 mos i...

You probably passed the boards by now. I took the exam last September 1st and passed. I did Hollier review and APEA qbank, board vitals, FNP mastery, Leik book and Leik app for Q&A, then bough Fitzgerald online review, did it from august 17-31. T...

kpnurse16, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. My papers is still on process. Will start in November, hopefully. Maria

Hi, how's the FNP so far? I am starting in November. Trying to get info from former/current student of Chamberlain doing the same. Thanks.

I've been googling around info on which path to take to become an NP. I'll be done with my BSN in March 2013 and I don't wan to stop. Question: What path should I take to become an NP? Thanks.

Thanks for the info guys, I am actually looking around trying to find a school and the process on becoming an NP.

So true, agree 100%. You have to build up yourself and be around with people you wanna work with. I did the same thing, and the hospital where I worked as PCT while in nursing school gave me a job as a Cardiac Nurse and I am loving it!

Our training is 6-8 weeks only. I wish its 6 months, but you'll get bored.

My classmate went to Florida right after passing the NJ NCLEX, obtain her license there and was hired last April (forgot the name of the hospital) in Fl. How come you couldn't find a job there where they hire people from out of state? She doesnt know...

You have to be more aggressive in finding a job. I am an immigrant. I went to nursing school not because I am caring, or I want to take care of people when they are sick --- No, because if I do, then I should have joined the wagon where Philippines p...

Hi all, I passed my NCLEX in August, got hired to work as RN in an LTC and February 12 I finally started my orientation as an RN at the Cardiac Telemetry Floor. I am thankful I got the job. Not easy for me to get a job in a hospital because I don't h...

I'm on my 2nd week on the floor orientation at a Cardiac Pavilion. A new grad, inexperienced, had my first patient last Friday. Nobody told me it's easy, so i will try to learn it day by day, and to always remember that those people who are now on th...

Hi Bolda, How did you prepare yourself to work in a Cardiac Unit, brand new like me?

That's true. It is possible. I graduate in May 2012. Passed NCLEX in August. Got hired in September at an LTC. And on February 12 I started my orientation in the Cardiac Pavilion.

Thank you for this info. I am also preparing myself, as a new nurse.

I hear you. I am a new Nurse, my first job is LTC... I was skeptical how am I gonna finish on time doing 30 patient? But yeah, I learn to navigate between medpass, treatment and charting that I can go home as scheduled. Some of my classmates would sa...

Hi all, I am currently taking Nursing Informatics and Health Assessment. I have a BS degree from a foreign country and an Associate Degree in Nursing from a community college in NJ. I was tossing between Kean U and TESC, however Kean will take me too...
