Hello there, My name is Cindy L. I am accepted to University of South Alabama this Spring (2015) for the BSN to DNP track for "Advanced Emergency Nursing (Family NP/Adult-Gerontological Acute Care Dual Role)". I am here to reach out to others for support. I am so scared! I graduated with my BSN in 2008. I am currently 29 years old and have been an RN in Atlanta, GA, for the past 6.5 years. I have a background in ICU, not emergency, but really wanted the FNP "just in case". Good decision/bad decision? I don't know...but it sounds like it's going to kick my orifice. Any who, anyone out there for support? ...Or tips/advice/whatever I will take it! I have heard that Grad school is very self-motivated, independent, and (often times) lonely so I could use the solidarity in support groups hehe :)
