Congratulations! Sounds like you did the ground work and you were ready! Thank you for tips - I'm in my last semester and really appreciate hearing what worked for you. Congrats!

Charting in a non-nurse friendly computer system, looking for stuff, multiple phone calls for one thing. Basically, anything that is a time suck. These are the most aggravating parts of my day. There's no amount of planning that can compensate for co...

Keep asking questions. We all do not grasp everything simply by reading the research. That's why we need people who can teach. Glad that you got the answer that you needed.... Here's a link - I love this website for breaking down complex issues ...

I have given this subject some thought (as I am sure most of you have). One realization that I had was that as a person, I was a terrible negotiator. As a matter of fact, I would take what the HR person was offering. I remember being sooooo grateful ...

I am looking for some EBP on having more than 1 PIV (2) for patients in the critical care setting. I've searched around and have yet to come up with anything. I am gathering evidence for a policy we hope to implement in our unit. Thanks in advance,...

@Pheebz777 That's my point. But - I want it to be an actual policy so I am trolling for info....

Could you share a copy of the policy with me? - removing anything that would indicate that it's from your hospital. This would really help me with the leverage I need to get this made a policy. Thanks for replying K

Is there a teaching hospital nearby? In my experience, they are more receptive to nurses who plan to stay for 1-3 years. Also, I have seen a definite culture change in critical care - by that I mean that there is a mix of nurses. Those looking to ...

I am in the program now and I began the summer of '15. All in all, it's OK. I've been disappointed in the quality and caliber of material, especially in patho and pharmacology - two of the classes I thought I'd love most. I was accepted at TT as w...

Yes! And, I highly recommend it. I was having a difficult time deciding whether I was going to do FNP or ACNP. I shadowed a one NP in clinic at the hospital (She is a primary care NP) and I shadowed an acute care NP who worked for the same physici...

I completed my BSN online through University of Texas at Arlington - it was a grueling (mind numbing, for me) process that I found more difficult than my ADN. This was related directly to the subject matter: nursing leadership, research, health asse...

Thanks for posting this! This is extremely helpful.

I will be starting my ACNP program this May. I too vacillated a lot between, FNP and ACNP - everyone seemed to have an opinion and most of it was centered around "job outlook". I currently work in ED/Trauma and we utilize FNP's and PA's for non cri...

I've been accepted to the TT program for ACRN in the fall and am feeling really relieved that at least, I have an in at a school. I also applied to UTHSC ACRN program and have an interview on Wednesday. I live in Houston, so UTHSC is the closer of ...

Meh, you still may get in! If not, and if it's really where you want to go, try again next year.

Good Luck Funkymonkey! Let us know when you hear!

No - I can tell you - 7 years ER, 2 years ICU and 1.5 years of EP. Overall - 3.62, Science 4.0, GMAT 421 and an A in Stats

So sorry to hear that - I know from your post how badly you want this. Keep at it though and don't lose heart. You'll get in - reapply-your chances are better the second time around.

I heard today...and I was accepted!
