  1. Why did you pick your NP Program?

    Went there for my BSN and know it's a great school. Plus, it was affordable, certainly more affordable than all these private schools I hear about on the freakin' radio. And no offense, but it has a better reputation than these online private schools...
  2. New Grad FNP job hunting

    Just for clarification--you're making LESS now as an NP than what you made as an RN? How? Why?
  3. NP's: do you give some patients your cell number?

    I have only given one patient my cellphone number months and months ago and she has never called. Thankfully. But, I know she would not abuse it and would only call, if there was an absolute need.
  4. Where can FNP's work?

    You can work in the hospital as an FNP. I am an FNP and work in a surgical specialty in the hospital. I do think tbat FNPs are not the ideal choice for this position and that this position is better suited for an ACNP, but I'm learning as much as I c...
  5. Travel from home to work

    My current job is 15 minutes away from home. The max travel time I'm willing to do is 30 minutes. Definitely won't do 1 hour, no matter how much the pay is. I just think about how exhausted I am after work sometimes and 1 hour just wouldn't be safe.
  6. Physician Extender ???

    Honestly, it doesn't bother me.
  7. FNPs in the Hospital?

    It is absolutely possible to work inpatient as an FNP. As a matter of fact, I am an FNP working in neurosurgery in a primarily inpatient position.
  8. Texas NPs

    I don't think it's my resume or CV. It's been reviewed multiple times and I've been hearing from people interested in other states and in FL. Just not TX--most of the TX jobs don't want new grads. I actually messaged the poster who posted about lo...
  9. Texas NPs

    If I knew why it's been hard, I would have a job by now! lol But, I haven't heard back from anyone in TX, so my relocation is looking pretty bleak :-/ I'm pretty open. I'm an FNP-BC.
  10. Texas NPs

    I'm in FL and want to relocate to TX. I have been applying for jobs, but have had no luck. I am also a new grad., so that might be the problem there :-/ *SIGH*
  11. Online Certification Practice Study Tests (FamilyNPprep.com)

    Thanks! I reviewed some of the theories that kept popping up on the practice questions, such as Piaget's cognitive theory/stages, Erikson's theory/stages of psychosocial development, transtheoretical moodel. Those are the ones I reviewed the most. Al...
  12. How did you pass the ANCC certification exam?

    Ok, so I took the ANCC FNP exam today and PASSED! :-) I used two Fitzgerald books, which I got from a friend. One, I believe, was from a class she took because it has filled-in content. The other is the 3rd edition of the NP Exam. and Prep. book. ...

  14. Night shift dinner time

    I'll speak for where I work. My co-workers eat like pigs lol They order out every night--Chinese, Dominos, etc. EVERY NIGHT. And, they make fun of me for eating fruit, veggies, other healthy snacks...which is what I would recommend. I would recommend...
  15. Online Certification Practice Study Tests (FamilyNPprep.com)

    Yes, I am currently using that website's practice questions. They're a lil pricey, at least for me, but have been helpful so far, especially with the non-clinical questions. I'm studying for the ANCC FNP exam, so I like the non-clinical questions, wh...
