   What FNP program did you attend and did you like it?

   KimmbaFNP replied to Pug RN's topic in NP

   I think you will find that most programs do not arrange your FNP clinical sites for you. The advantage is that you're not stuck going somewhere you don't want to be and can try to establish clinicals at sites that are more of interest to you. Well ...

   Heya! Wondering how many folks are using Typhon through their school to track clinical hours for their program? If so, does anyone know, does it list every time you go in and edit a record prior to it being "approved"? Or can you go in and change it ...

   KimmbaFNP replied to divaRN*'s topic in Pulmonary

   Ok - I'm an RN AND a Registered Respiratory therapist. Here's the deal with instilling normal saline with suctioning (both ET tube and Trach - doesn't matter).... 1. A multitude of studies demonstrated that you DO NOT get all the saline back up. They...

   KimmbaFNP posted a topic in California

   I know it's a long shot to seek on this board, but it's worth a try, right? Seeking an MD, DO, NP or PA preceptor in the North Bay or close in San Francisco beginning February. Must be a primary care site. My professor doesn't want me to return t...

    I don't like my NP program and I am a half way through it

    KimmbaFNP replied to olli975's topic in NP

    IF you get to the point where you're so frustrated you plan to drop, do a LOA instead. That way if you get out there and don't find what you seek or regret it, you can still return w/o having to reapply and w/o any hard feelings or bad impressions. J...

    USF Admission Statistics for MSN CNL

    KimmbaFNP replied to Alison123's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I realize this is an old thread, but for anyone who may pull it up because of the University of San Francisco (USF) to Sonoma State (SSU) comparison I really want to add my two bits. I've attended BOTH schools. I would steer anyone towards Sonoma sta...

    CA NCLEX/BRN results - how soon will you "show" on the license verification?

    KimmbaFNP replied to KimmbaFNP's topic in California

    FYI - I took the exam on the 7th & didn't find out until last Friday, the 23rd. My school hadn't sent in the coversheet with my transcripts, so that was the hold up. You might want to make sure that all the little things like that were taken care...

    CA NCLEX/BRN results - how soon will you "show" on the license verification?

    KimmbaFNP replied to KimmbaFNP's topic in California

    I'm getting the impression that a lot of it depends on whether or not they have a "complete" file on you or not. I just found out my Univ. didn't send the required BRN coversheet with the transcripts, so now I'm waiting for that to happen
