Joined allnurses to get some information from everyone on this wonderful site. I've been an OR nurse for 5 years and most recently, a CVICU RN for 2. I'm interested in getting into an online DNP program that's a dual FNP/ACNP and recently discovered the Emergency NP program at University of South Alabama. Sounds perfect; however, I would much more prefer to work in an ICU setting than an ED. Does getting this degree automatically mean you're en route to being an ED NP or would it allow one to work in an ICU? And on that note, do ICU NPs (or educational programs, for that matter) even exist? Does anyone have any feedback on the USA Advanced Emergency Nursing program? Thanks!
