1. Whats your favorite montra or saying?

   Jennifer0512 replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

   Everything will be okay in the end, if it's not okay it's not the end!

2. PNP Board Review Material

   Jennifer0512 replied to StudentAmie's topic in NP Students

   I used both of those books you linked to as well as the question book that goes along with the orange book. Found all of them really helpful in passing the PNCB exam (passed in June--first attempt!)

3. Regis College Fall 2013 direct entry NP

   Jennifer0512 replied to steve21021's topic in Massachusetts

   Interviews are pretty laid back (2012 grad here). Be yourself, relax, and tell them why you want to be an NP and go to Regis! :) Good luck!

4. Pediatric NP students

   Jennifer0512 replied to phillycpnp-pc's topic in NP Students

   That's good you're separating next semester--it will definitely make things much clearer! We used Pediatric Physical Examination and Health Assessment by Sawyer.

5. Pediatric NP students

   Jennifer0512 replied to phillycpnp-pc's topic in NP Students

   I recently graduated/passed my boards for pediNP. No job yet so I can't tell you in "real life" if they encourage them or not, but in school we definitely did ROS for pedi patients (and we were separated from FNP students). My pedi H&P book also ...

6. best anatomy and physiology aid?

   Jennifer0512 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing

   When I was taking A&P I bought a toy skeleton from the halloween store--it actually had amazingly detailed bone anatomy. It was SO helpful to have that sort of 4D visual aid where I could actually point to the body parts. And it was super cheap!

7. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

   Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts

   Ah I see you were looking for the REAL schedule for the upcoming semester. They usually post it on Regis Access a few days before you are scheduled to register, so that you can plan out your schedule and respond ASAP. I was also in the "day section" ...

8. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

   Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts

   It wasn't that long ago, but I can barely remember! I know you'll take two classes: psych and acute care (aka med/surg). Each of these has a clinical-- acute care clinicals is two days and psych is one day. I do forget how many days a week the classe...

9. PNP acute care exam-passed!

   Jennifer0512 replied to tryingtohaveitall's topic in NP Students

   YAY!!! Congratulations!!!

10. Bio/Chem degree vs nursing degree

    Jennifer0512 replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    I was a Biochem major in my undergrad degree and then went into a direct-entry program to get my BSN/MSN and I just finished with that. I think they are different kinds of "hard". I found the content and concepts in biochem more challenging to learn,...

11. May grads, June test takers !

    Jennifer0512 replied to reeya's topic in NP Students

    Congratulations Reeya!! So happy that you passed--I was rooting for you!

12. Tips for PNP certification exam?

    Jennifer0512 replied to tryingtohaveitall's topic in NP Students

    I did both NAPNAP's online course and the PNCB prep course (which were practice exams that then gave you rationales for the right answer). I did primary care though, so just keep that in mind. I liked the online course--it broke it down into very sma...

13. Starting PNP program in Fall 2011!

    Jennifer0512 replied to StudentAmie's topic in NP Students

    Sorry I'm responding late--boards took priority (and I'm happy to report that I passed!!) danceluver: I actually have found the job market to be better than I expected (and I'm in MA). There's not a ton out there for PNPs here, but when there is an o...

14. May grads, June test takers !

    Jennifer0512 replied to reeya's topic in NP Students

    Just wanted to update everyone that I passed the PNCB yesterday :) Good luck to all those who are still preparing to take it or any of the certifying exams!

15. Starting PNP program in Fall 2011!

    Jennifer0512 replied to StudentAmie's topic in NP Students

    Hi hjnurse! I was a direct-entry student, and continued straight from getting my BSN to getting my MSN, so I guess I fall into the category of the "not much peds experience as an RN". I just graduated in May and am taking my boards very soon (less th...
