I am considering starting a NP program and would like to know what classes would benefit me in the NP program. I have 4 yrs experience as a RN and specialize in mental health at this time. I have my BSN from a decent college, but I was wondering what classes I could retake or take that might benefit in a NP program. I am pretty proficient in sciences and physiology, but chemistry is my weak spot. Is there much chemistry in NP programs? I was thinking of taking some community college classes to jump start by pursuit of a NP degree. I appreciate all feed back, thank you.

What should I be concerned about for entry to an Acute program?

I was thinking the samething. Is acute care the same as critical care tho? I am hoping I meet the criteria.

I am currently working in mental health as an RN, I have 3 years of RN experience. My main concern is my lack of med/surg experience. I want to start applying to NP programs, but I do not want to specialize in mental health for NP. I am interested in Acute Care NP programs. Does not having much med/surg experience hinder my chances of being accepted into a NP program? My reason for attaining an NP is to have more involvement in my patient's care. I am a good RN, and also case manage when I do intake in ED. My undergrad BSN GPA is 3.3, I am hoping this will speak for me. I appreciate any comments. Thank you, Andrew
