Hello all!

As I'm preparing to go back to school, I am interested to know if anyone can tell me if one of the FNP programs in WA state offer good training in x-ray interpretation, suturing etc... I know a lot of programs don't focus a lot on that which is why I asked. I know there are some dual acute-care NP/FNP programs out there in the US but I'm specifically am asking about FNP programs in WA state and what you're experience has been. Thanks!

Remember that these types of ancillary skills can easily be learned post-grad by on-the-job training, CME workshops, etc. It may help you find a quality program for your graduate education and clinical preparation without having to limit your choices to a small percentage of schools. FWIW my program had x-ray and suturing workshops during school but it wasn't until I was in practice that I really learned them.

Thanks for your comment! I think I might look at dual FNP/ACNP programs or possibly just do the FNP and then do a post masters ACNP. Time will tell. Thanks again!
