  1. Am I really a NP if I do laser hair removal?

    Agreed in regards to the above poster. You sound like you have a great gig to me!
  2. I keep getting sick!!

    Hello all, I've been working as an NP for a few months now in the retail setting, and whole I love what I do, I keep getting sick! Any advice on how to keep this from happening? I am always very meticulous about washing my hands, wiping down door kno...
  3. Retail NP

    I absolutely love working in retail for those reasons you mentioned above. I love the no call aspect as well as managing acute conditions. I don't care for chronics, but there are many people who beg to differ. Retail may be too slow for some, so...
  4. New NP.

    I feel the same way!! I think it's better to send them to the ER and it turn out to be nothing than for you not to send them and the patient deteriorates.....I question everything too. People tell me it will get better with time. I sure hope so becau...
  5. NP program cost. Your input please!

    ^^^what they said. I went to a state school and paid about $20-25k out of pocket. Excellent pass rate for boards. It all depends on your current situation
  6. On call?

    My thoughts exactly...... I just never know what each night might bring!
  7. On call?

    See, that's what I'm unsure about. They said it can be an average of 5 calls throughout the night, on an average night. I feel that I'd be on edge every night the month I'm on call as I wait for those calls to come in. I'm just a little uneasy about ...

  9. On call?

    I interviewed for a position today at a pedi clinic, which is where I'd love to work. Everything so far sounded good except for the on call responsibilities. It's 4 providers in the group who rotate, each rotation lasting one month. Is this reasonabl...
  10. Scared I may not get through my NP program

    First off, remember to breathe!! Lol. I understand the anxiety, but that much of it will interfere with your test taking. Before every test, I always said a little prayer to help get me through. That definitely calmed my nerves which allowed me to ad...
  11. NICU only experience ok for PNP program admittance?

    EverGraceRN, I would not even worry about that! I've been a Level III NICU RN for nearly 5 years myself, and I just completed the FNP program. My only experience is NICU (as well some mother/baby and NBN). I had the same fears as you, but honestly, ...

  14. Preparation for AANP exam

    You're in my prayers, my friend! If I could do it, so can you! :-)
  15. Preparation for AANP exam

    Yes, I passed my exam yesterday! I think I only had one non clinical based question. I studied using Fitzgerald like you said and did fine. Thanks for responding! I'm so glad that part of my life is now over!! I can have a life again!! :-)
