Hello! I'm also about to start a research project and its my first time as research coordinator. This project is being passed on to me from a previous researcher. Any tips on getting started such as in organization, documentation? Any practical resources that you could recommend? Thanks!

I have a question for CNSs in non-traditional CNS roles (e.g. APRN/mid-level provider). How was your first working experience in this role? Did you also explain to your employer what other roles CNSs can do? (e.g. education, research).

At one point, I thought of taking the AACN certification but my professors recommended to take the ANCC first. I tried taking the AACN Adult CNS exam reviewer and it was very specific compared to ANCC. Previously thought of taking this exam but now I'm planning to take a post-FNP certificate or DNP course (whichever will allow part-time students). Wished I took the NP path first before the CNS.

I took the AGCNS ANCC exam a few weeks ago and passed! It was a "miracle" for me because I didn't know what to expect and there were a few resources. Actually, one (and only resource I could say) that I found helpful was the mometrix reviewer. There was a study group in FB that I also found helpful.
