2. Passed ANCC today

   stpollard replied to stpollard's topic in NP Students

   The process was a nightmare. I applied May 4th, and got my ATT June 5th (after TONS of calls and bothering). They said it was an issue with my transcripts, so I had to resend them multiple times-they said they never received the first one I sent. I h...

3. Passed ANCC today

   stpollard replied to stpollard's topic in NP Students

   No problem! I did feel like UConn prepared me well for the boards. I believe their pass rate is excellent too. The last year of the program absolutely flies by but hang in there!

   stpollard posted a topic in NP Students

5. Universities with prearranged NP Practicums

   stpollard replied to Slhengy's topic in NP Students

   UConn arranges them if need be. They encourage you do to your own if you have connections from your RN career, but will do it for you if not.

6. NP Programs that provide preceptors.

   stpollard replied to Zamy's topic in NP Students

   UConn provides preceptors. They hope and recommend that you find your own via your RN connections, but at the end of the day they always come through. Pedi and OBGYN preceptors were difficult to find, but in a geri program that would be a non-issue.

15. BSN-DNP Advice

    stpollard replied to AlwaysStriving's topic in NP Students

    I'm also trying to do the same thing! Nervous that I will only have ~6 months experience by fall (if I get accepted), but I am in the same boat as you in that I'm worried that if I don't go now, I never will. Keep us updated! I'm glad I'm not the onl...
