I am going to University of S. Alabama. Just finished 4th semester, about to start clinical portion.

Congrats on passing...again!! :yeah:Thanks for the helpful info on all of the pre resources. I hope to need it soon...in about 1 1/2 yrs :)

Frontier School (Kentucky) and University of South Alabama (Mobile) have FNP programs with no GRE or MAT requirement. Good luck I am in my second semester at South Alabama

First of all-----good luck with your application!!!! I have been very pleased with the program so far. I have only completed one semester and just started my second, but I do not have any complaints. My instructor this summer was great. She seemed fa...

First of all, I would NOT turn off the alarms on the monitor. This is a big NO NO (pt safety, JCAHO, etc). As the other posters mentioned, there are many reasons the alarms could be going off. Sounds like you did the right thing (assessed pt, EKG, c...

I have applied to the summer 2011 semester for the Emergency Nurse Practitioner (FNP/ACNP) program. I am anxiously waiting on wheteher or not I got in . Has anyone else applied to the program? If so, any news yet?

Just registered for the summer class. I can't believe they are almost full already!!!

Manda...I don't know anything about the WHNP program...other thanit is supposed to be a good one. Good luck on your application. Sugar...I have had some doubts with the dual role. In the end, I think it will make me a better rounded NP. Whether I dec...

I am in Gadsden, AL. I am looking forward to getting started, but I have to admit that I am a little nervous. It has been a while since I have been in school. It is nice to hear from some other students that will be in the same program. Congrats on ...

I would try asking the nurse that told you the patient probably had a pleural effusion what she heard and how she knew/suspected a pleural effusion.

A magnet placed over a PM will send it to it's pre-programmed "magnet rate." As the previous poster stated, this is an asunchronous mode...meaning the PM will fire at a set rate regardless of the patients intrinsic rate. You stated the patient was 10...

I would definitely go ahead with the financial aid. When you go to the FAFSA website, make sure you do the 2010-11 application...for the summer semester. I would also go ahead and do the 2011-12 application for the Fall. I got my award notification l...

I have worked at several ED's and have done it just about every way posted above. I think the best was the Omni Celll (? sp) system. It was quick (you don't have to wait for individuial doors/drawers to open) and was easy to override (if the patient ...

My hospital has been doing it this way for several years. The physician does not have to be present for ANY of the stresses, only has to be "in the facility." Check with your state board to see if it is within the scope of an RN to perform stresses w...

Are you in the FNP or ENP program?

Congrats to you. Looking forward to getting started.

Yes, they are into details. I "used" to be a terrible procrastinator, but I am slowly improving on that!!

Your welcome TJFRN. I'm pretty new in this arena, but I based my decision on schools/programs on current information and current practice in my region. Things at the certifying bodies/schools/facilities may be totally different next week for all I, b...

MillieT If you go to the website, click on admissions and click check you application status it will show the up to date status (i.e received, pending, in department for review, accepted, etc). I was following that process and know my acceptance stat...

try south baldwin Medical Center. It is smallish, but has a good reputation. May not have the high-acuity level compared to the ones you mentioned, but may be more open to a new grad. I work for one of their sister hospitals and our ceo used to be at...

Congrats. Have you gotten the "to do" letter of things to be done in order to complete the acceptance? They are pretty meticulous about following directions/meeting deadlines, but that's probably a good thing. Good luck.

Univ of south alabama. All online with only 1 (I think ) on-campus visit for orientation before starting clinicals. They have FT & PT tracks available.

I got accepted to the Emergency (FNP/ACNP) program. I also live in AL. My letter came Monday.

Sorry to hear that.

Another option I have not seen anyone mention is being certified in dual specialties. For example, get your FNP then do a post-Master's program for the acute care. I am about to begin a program that is molded for an ED role. At the end of the program...
