I passed boards this week!! So glad it's finally behind me and I can now look forward to starting work :)

Hello, Not a silly question at all. There was a big push for the NP program to be switched to a DNP, with 2015 as the deadline. However, if I am not mistaken, this may have deterred some people from enrolling, so I think many backed off. Nonetheless, many institutions did make the transition. I happened to get into the last MSN class at my university. You can still find Master's NP programs, although I do not think they are as prevalent.

Thank you, Jules. I feel like I can study until the end of the year and still not feel 100% confident. I received my eligibility letter on Tuesday. Unfortunately,I am in a state that requires certification. Many of my peers are in a state that doesn't, so as a result, they were able to start work immediately.

I recently graduated as PMHNP. I took off a week and have been studying for the last 3 weeks. I purchased the ANCC questions and took them until I scored over 95% on each test set. I took the ANCC review in June, completed the ANCC workbook and read all the ANCC psych book. I am currently listening and taking notes on Barclays review. Not only am I sick of studying, I am just ready to get it over with but I also don't want to risk failing it and having to wait two months. It's a risk regardless, right? How did you know when you were ready for boards?
