  3. Any Gonzaga NP grads?

    Hi I graduated from Gonzaga's FNP program in May of 2013. I loved the program as I was able to work full-time through out. I had 3 job offers before I even graduated and I do believe attending a well-known university helped me stand out among others....

  6. Teen +HSVII + pap guidelines?

    If she had one last year at diagnosis and it was negative for hpv/atypical cells then I would probably wait until age 21 to repeat unless there was indication for further testing which I believe is immunocompromised states or HIV.

  11. Passed ANCC FNP

    You know, i thought it was helpful but not "$150 helpful." I started to memorize the questions and answers which is counterproductive and I saw a lot of the same questions multiple times while doing practice exams. If I were to do it again I would pr...
  12. Another salary question

    I just graduated as an FNP and had 3 job offers w/ 2 of them being unacceptably low in my opinion. As a staff RN I make $30/hr w/ only 4 yrs experience. Job offer #1 was for an orthopedic clinic (assisting in surgeries as well as clinic) with 70k bas...
