2. Recommendations for I-Touch Applications for Pediatric FNP Clinincs?

   TiBette replied to ER2Ed's topic in NP

   I'm a PNP but I think these would be useful to you as well. I have Epocrates, Skyscape, and Medscape apps on my iphone. The Skyscape app includes Archimedes, OCM, and RxDrugs. These apps were free or very low cost.

3. Have a question

   TiBette replied to RN1982's topic in NP

   If you get accepted, when will you start? It takes several weeks to get the results in the mail. I would go ahead and start studying (if you need to) and sign up. You can't take it too early. Just my opinion. When I went back to school, I took the GR...

4. Vandy NP programs

   TiBette replied to Briem143's topic in NP

   Good luck! It's stressful but it's worth it in the long run. You can handle anything for a year. I went to the fall open house and had my application in early so I found out early that I was accepted. How long have you been out of school?

5. Vandy NP programs

   TiBette replied to Briem143's topic in NP

   I was a distance student the entire time. I was an RN for 11 years before going back to school. I feel prepared now. I have read on some threads that Vandy grads didn't feel prepared. In my opinion, how you feel depends on your prior experience, whic...

6. Vandy NP programs

   TiBette replied to Briem143's topic in NP

   I did it in one intensive distance year. It's tough but doable. I think it was the first year that the director of the PNP program was in that position so there were issues of organization. Maybe the kinks have been worked out. I'm working in a Pedi...

   I graduated from the PNP program in August, 2007. I was in the primary care track.

8. Possible Pedi NP path - where to work?

   TiBette replied to MommyandRN's topic in Pediatric

   I think it depends on where you would like to work as a PNP. There are acute care and primary care tracks for PNP's. I'm a PNP in a specialty clinic now and I've never worked in an ER. A pediatric primary care clinic might be something to consider if...

    I took the CLEP for Growth & Dev about 10 yrs ago and would definitely recommend it.

    TiBette replied to brownrice's topic in NP

    I'm scheduled to begin in the fall but can't tell you anything yet. Have you applied or are you just thinking about it?

13. Help Me!!! GRE & Calculators!!!!!!

    TiBette replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate

    I took the GRE in November and calculators weren't allowed. The books and other materials that I used to prepare stated that you shouldn't waste time doing long calculations. You are supposed to be able to answer the questions without them. For examp...
