RN-CEN TS

I just wanted to start a new thread for the MSN applicant pool for the University of South Alabama. The previous thread was for BSN to DNP applicants. I know there are many different MSN programs at USA but you take many of the same core courses. So ...

You must be a board certified nurse practitioner who has worked for 2000+ hours in the emergency setting. See the following website for specifics. The ENP-BC is a secondary certification by portfolio once you have already been practicing as nurse pra...

In my ER which has an MD residency, all physicians have rotating shifts, attendings and residents alike. I don't think it is uncommon for ED providers to do so based on the hours they work (few in comparison to other specialties) and their high level...

1. I would suggest you site your references before posting a hastily made reply as YOU are "nor" (I believe you meant "not") even an NP yet. 2. Secondly, I said "roughly half the states do not allow NP's to prescribe schedule II medications." You ar...

My comments for the OP were meant for guidance on where to find the most accurate information regarding his question. I fully understand many ED's utilize FNP. However, in some states FNP's are practicing out of the scope of practice by seeing acute ...

The one who got in works ED in OKC? If so what hospital? I am looking at going PRN and am considering the OKC area.

Congrats soonergirlRn!!! Let me know if your friends got into AENP or not!

Just received my USA letter in the mail for AENP, will be starting this January!!! Hopefully everyone else gets some good news today as well!

Awesome, congrats!!!! I know it must be a big relief to finally get your letter.

Where do you live if you don't mind me asking?

I appreciate the reply, I thought there might be more since there have been 550+ views to this thread in less than a couple of hours......maybe more people will start to post. I just thought it would be nice to interact with fellow applicants while w...

I started a new thread for the MSN applicants seeing as this thread is for DNP applicants and their letters have already been sent. Here is the link: https://allnurses.com/post-graduate-nursing/university-south-alabama-883102.html

I applied for the advanced emergency nurse practitioner program and live in Tulsa, OK, no letter yet.

I believe the key that most replies are missing is spelled out in your states Nurse Practice Act. Each state has different inclusions and exclusions that make up your scope of practice as a nurse practitioner. These are to include procedures, as well...

I appreciate the update. I guess I can move my chair away from the window that faces my mail box....... I think my mail lady is on to me.....haha

Awesome good to know it was moved back. Thanks for sharing. Also, are you currently a BSN, or is it the accelerated BSN program with direct admit to DNP program following completion of the BSN. I noticed they had this track for non-BSN RN's but had n...

I can confirm when I started at a large Tulsa hospital in May 2012 that my base pay before differentials was 21.75. Since then base pay has increased to 22.50 for new grads. Differentials are as follows, shift 1 none, shift 2 $4, shift 3 $4.25, weeke...

I hope they don't hold off until the 15th. The deadline for returning acceptance packets is Nov. 11th, unless they extend the deadline. We would have a very limited time frame to complete the packet in time...

No letter today......back to the waiting game.

That's cool, sometimes I feel like an ICU nurse(not sure if that is a good or bad thing....) because of how long we have been holding ICU patients in the ED at my hospital.

New grad pay may vary by facility, but each facility will pay all the new grads that were hired the same rate initially. Depending on your facilities use of the clinical ladder, your pay will increase based on area you work, experience, and national ...

This might not help but I was scoring lows of 75% and highs of 95% on qbank questions, only did about 200. Opted not to use qtrainers. Passed NCLEX With 76 questions. Just keep studying your known weak areas and do more questions. NCLEX is primarily ...

Ability to stay calm and maintain focus on the priority at hand during high acuity patient care (GSW to chest requiring emergent thoracotomy and around blood product infusion in ED was the most recent intense case last week) as well as ability to rec...

I hope we find out today......I am ready to know one way or the other and I need to start making considerations for changing my employment status. If you don't mind me asking why did you not choose the advanced emergency np option, ready to get out o...

SoonergirlRn, I am in Tulsa and have not received a letter yet. I applied to advanced emergency NP, hoping letters for all the specialties are on the way. Where are you at in OK?
