  1. AANP PASSED 2018

    Finger crossed!!!How bad do you want it? Let that resound in your mind when you're sitting in front of that screen saying, "WTF kind of question is this!" Slow down and read carefully. It's all up there.
  2. NPI help

    Need to wait for your license in order to apply for your NPI and don't list your home address, give a business address or every drug rep in Kingdom Come will come to your house! You can change the address once you find employment.
  3. Communicating with doctors as a new grad.

    ER specifically....as some others suggested, SBAR to begin with, with a review of meds and how much the patient is already taking/being given will guide the physician to make further changes if warranted. Remember new grads, if you don't have a tren...
  4. AANP PASSED 2018

    Hi LeeDe. If you PM me here then I can get back with you. I think passing was really a matter of reading the questions and all the choices. I usually scored over 73% after my first predictor (68%) and remediating for 4 weeks. Until you were scori...
  5. AANP PASSED 2018

    Hi everyone! Just wanted to give my two cents about passing the AANP boards Jan 2018. Study wise I took the online Fitzgerald review as required by my program. I also used Maria Leik's book and Hollier's book, answering everything in all of them. I t...
  6. Albumin administration rate and IV tubing

    While albumin is not considered a banked blood product at some institutions, it is a component of blood, as FFP, etc., regardless of where it is kept in a hospital setting. Whether the institution treats it as such is a secondary policy, but I agree...
  7. Does anyone still teach percussion in assessment?

    We only teach percussion as to how it should be used which now relates more to gas in a belly, but there still are plenty other circumstances. Other techniques are for advanced nurses and are for diagnostic purposes. Everything should be covered in...
  8. Wisdom for a future educator?

    I taught for 5 years at technical colleges, universities, and community colleges. The bottom line is what does the institution call for as far as qualifications. I only had my MSN when I taught and was offered a full-time assistant professor positi...
  9. Looking nurse practitioner preceptor

    I can tell you I had no clue how tedious it would be to cold call every single clinic office from my city to up to 4 hours away before I found all my preceptors that I needed. You seriously cannot be picky about "maybe I'll find something closer." ...
  10. Question from a doc on NP education

    Hi Doc, You ask a pivitol question IMO. As a Nurse Educator, now, Post-MSN FNP certificate seeker, I asked this myself! I worked ER and saw what you saw and I worked med/surg, community, pediatrics, and women's health and asked myself why are skill...
  11. 1 month new ICU job. I want to run

    This is probably going to be the worst advice, but I HATE the hospital except for ER myself and while it does get boring, I like having something I know and something that is not go, go, go for 12 hours. It's my own little hospice at times. I have ...
  12. Wellness Nurse Brookdale Senior Living

    Anyone have any thoughts about Diversicare? I am considering a position and after reading this long, but educational post about LTC facilities, I am also wondering....did any DON's walk into a place knowing administrator's weren't interested in your...
  13. Moving to Hopkinsville

    Hi there, it's been over one year, but I was wondering if you found preceptors? I attend APSU as FNP student and am currently hunting for my own. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
  14. Hi MiahMSN, I am starting at APSU this fall. I do have to secure my own preceptors which, I have my adult health covered, but still need to find peds and women's health preceptors. This would have been a snap had I not relocated at the beginning of...
  15. Comfortable shoes?

    If you can stand a heel, then you will LOVE Klogs. It really is spelled Klogs with a "K," they are not hard like Danskos. If you don't like a heel, they do make low profile ones too. My personal faves right now are actually Sketchers Go Walk 3. I...
