1. Anybody run into problems with preceptors because they are from an online program?

   xtclass08 replied to xtclass08's topic in NP Students

   No I am no longer in CT. Sorry npstudentct. I know how hard it is to find clinicals. That's why for my DNP I'm going to a local school that provides clinics sites. Thank God!

2. Finding a job in NE area as an AA

   xtclass08 replied to xtclass08's topic in NP

   Hello all, so I finally found a new job with a community health center that serves the indigent population. The pay isn't that great but it's definitely a learning opportunity since they have a very sick patient population. I was told that what you s...

   Hi Sonia, Thanks for your response. I definitely hear you. I too have considered that fact and have gone over and over what I.can do differently but nothing really sticks out. Since May I would actually have to go back through all my emails and my sc...

   Also I did my clinical rotation at two internal medicine offices. One on/gyn office affiliated with a large teaching hospital. A pediatric office that served a high concentration of indigent children and a SNF. These were all in Florida...oh except t...

6. Finding a job in NE area as an AA

   xtclass08 replied to xtclass08's topic in NP

   BostonFNP, believe me, I asked myself the same question. The problem is sometimes before I even get to the question portion, I'm getting blocked and receiving the cold shoulder. For example, I was communicating back and forth with a certain physician...

   xtclass08 replied to xtclass08's topic in NP

   Zmansc, it is interesting that you asked that. No I did not do most of my clinicals in NE. I spent one semester at MinuteClinic and it was awful. I learned absolutely nothing other than how to do an assessment (which I already knew how to do). My pre...

8. Finding a job in NE area as an AA

   xtclass08 replied to xtclass08's topic in NP

   I should also add that I can understand people wanting to go with practitioners they feel most comfortable with. I mean some women will only go to other women for ob/gyn purposes, and many people feel more comfortable and have more trust in people th...

9. Taking ANCC exam tomorrow

   xtclass08 replied to new_NP_?'s topic in NP

   No, you will never feel "completely ready". In fact, I didn't even think I passed the AANP exam after I took it so I was really surprised when it said I passed . If you have been studying for 8 hours a day for 6 weeks then you are as ready as you eve...

10. Finding a job in NE area as an AA

    xtclass08 posted a topic in NP

    So this thread is really just a vent. I graduated May 3rd and immediately took the boards nearly a week later. I passed, and then I immediately started applying to NP jobs. I was pessimistic in the beginning because I thought that since I attended an...

11. Certification scores

    xtclass08 replied to xtclass08's topic in Advanced

    I took the AANP. We were given 150 questions and 15 of those questions did not count. Everyone has told me the same thing ....your actual score doesn't matter yet they still send you your actual score. Maybe the scoring is given for those who are unf...

12. Certification scores

    xtclass08 posted a topic in Advanced

    So I took my boards May 12 and I passed. Yesterday I received my actual scores in the mail. Once I looked at my actual score I kept wondering how did this fare compared to other NPs who took the test and does anybody really care what I scored on this...

13. Anybody run into problems with preceptors because they are from an online program?

    xtclass08 replied to xtclass08's topic in NP Students

    I feel you Jessica. I actually had to move back to Florida for clinicals from Connecticut to find decent clinicals. CT has so many schools ( Yale, Fairfeild, Quinnipiac, UConn etc) that finding clinicals was impossible. It also didn't help that New ...

    I think minute clinic was only good for health assessment. Beyond that, you will not get a good clinical experience with minute clinic. This is just my opinion though.

    Georgetown does have an online MSN-FNP program. After the completion of the program you can sit for the boards and will be licensed as a nurse practitioner.
