1. First NP Job and unhappy...What to do?

   TCUgirl15 replied to TCUgirl15's topic in NP

   yes! Definitely I can practice in Women's Health as an FNP! I wouldn't have done family if I could not have! Actually one of my job offers was for an OB/Gyn, and I turned it down to give Family Med a try. Now I'm questioning that decision at times. W...

2. First NP Job and unhappy...What to do?

   TCUgirl15 replied to TCUgirl15's topic in NP

   I'm starting to feel like you are probably right. I was encouraged by so many to do Family, because it was a broader scope and I'd be more marketable. But, I'm finding that I think Women's Health is my passion and all of my RN experience was geared t...

3. First NP Job and unhappy...What to do?

   TCUgirl15 replied to TCUgirl15's topic in NP

   Quite the opposite, I don't feel at all that I am at the level of a residency prepared physician, and I did not expect that. On the contrary, I kind of feel that the practice I joined expected that, which is part of my frustration. To answer your fi...

4. First NP Job and unhappy...What to do?

   TCUgirl15 posted a topic in NP

   I just started my first NP job out of school in January...so I have been there 3 months now. I am really unhappy and not enjoying what I am doing. I also don't want to be a baby about things and make a decision I will regret later. Let me explain my ...

5. First year as an FNP??!!

   TCUgirl15 posted a topic in Advanced

   I recently accepted a Family NP position with a large teaching hospital here in the DFW area. This will be my first NP position, as I graduated from FNP school this past May. I will be starting in January 2015. I was hoping to get some feedback fro...

6. Has Any Body Taken AANP-2014 FNP Boards?s

   TCUgirl15 replied to SuccessfullLady's topic in NP Students

   I bought the Fitzgerald Review and listened to all of the cd's as well as following along in her book, and I did all of the questions in the back of the Leik book. I took the AANP FNP exam in July and passed first time. Good luck on your exam!

7. Deciding between jobs

   TCUgirl15 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Job Hunt

   Option A would worry me without the guarantee of hours/pay. But, as you mentioned, could be a really cool supplement to Job B. The pay for Option C sounds great but have you ever worked nights? I know there are so many people out there that love it ...

8. So glad I'm not the only one!

   TCUgirl15 replied to crj96's topic in New Nurse

   I would say any nurse, anywhere, would say their first year was terrifyingly stressful. You feel inadequate. You feel like an idiot. You feel like you are never going to reach a point of confidence on the job. This is all very, very normal for a f...

9. Salary Info...

   TCUgirl15 posted a topic in NP

   Hey there, I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of starting salary range for NPs in Women's Health in the DFW Area? I recently graduated with my FNP and I am currently interviewing for 3 different positions. The position I would really l...

    TCUgirl15 replied to missvictoriat's topic in NP Students

    @missyfriend09... Actually I am in my third semester at TWU. I was deferred at UTA for two semesters...The second semester I had applied to TWU also and I got in there. So far I've been really happy and it's cheaper than UTA. To be quite honest......

    TCUgirl15 replied to missvictoriat's topic in NP Students

    @ Sanuk, If you don't mind me asking, how many hours do you work a week? I'm starting the FNP program in the Spring...and I wanted to register for 9 hours, but I work PRN 24 hours a week. Do you think it would be manageable to take 9 hrs? How were yo...

    @ hunnybaby24. I received the letter in the mail 10/21/11. I applied back in June so I do not know if that makes a difference and for the Dallas campus. You might try calling to see when you should receive a letter!

    TCUgirl15 replied to missvictoriat's topic in NP Students

    For all of you who got into TWU for the FNP program, did you guys all have at least above a 3.5 gpa for your BSN? Sorry for the additional post...I think the more I read, the more nervous I get that I won't get in. I'm not sure when they will notify ...

    Hey guys....just read this post. If you don't mind me asking what was everyone's GPA in undergrad? I applied to UTA's FNP program this past Fall and got deferred b/c of my GPA. I only had a 3.3 with my BSN. I'm applying again to UTA and TWU for the S...
