Thank you for the response babyNP. Personally I really dont see myself dealing and providing care with pediatrics that's why I chose the acute care adult NP path. I am currently practicing as an RN in NY and I can see myself practicing as an NP in nephrology in this state. I really love nephrology especially the acute and chronic dialysis portion of it. In the hospital that I am currently working for, most NPs I see that work in the nephrology department have FNP degrees but I am not sure if they manage acute inpatient renal patients.

Hi Everyone! My name is Kyle and I am a registered nurse with 7 years of experience in Acute dialysis and Apheresis. I am thinking about advancing my career to become a Nephrology NP. My question is, what type of NP degree would I need to take If I want to become a Nephrology NP. Is it FNP or Acute care NP? I hope anyone can help me out. Thank you.

hello! I am an RN planning to take the certified nephrology nurse exam this year and I was hoping if anybody can give me study tips on how to pass the exam. I do have the core curriculum for nephrology nursing 5th edition and I tried to read it but some of the topics there are too deep and technical. Do I really have to read that book cover to cover? I have noticed that there are some chapters in the book that talks about the NP's role in CKD and I dont know if i need to read that since im not an NP. As of the moment I am reading another book its called review of hemodialysis for nurses and dialysis personnel 9th edition. Can that book alone help me pass the CNN exam? or should I read the core curriculum as well? Can someone please help me out? thank you!
