    There are plenty out there you just have to do some investigating.
  2. Failed the AANP

    I used the Barkley Review and the Leik book some before I took the AANP the first time and I failed by only one or two questions. I turned around and applied to take it again a few days later after completing the 15 edu credits on their website. Beli...
  3. Scoring High 40s on APEA Q Bank..

    the app is called FNP Q&A but you can also search it in the apps store as Leik review. What I did was I would read/study my Barkley book by chapter (most of my focus was on Adult and Gero) because that is where more of your questions will be. The...
  4. Ancc exam/aanp failure

    I am proud to say that I passed the AANP FNP exam today. I was feeling stressed, I developed bronchitis several days prior to the exam but I made it through.
  5. Scoring High 40s on APEA Q Bank..

    I just passed the AANP FNP exam today, and I used the Barkley review, Leik Book 2nd ed. and APEA Qbank. I would say that the Leik book helped the most and then the Barkley review and then the APEA Qbank. I was scoring mostly in the 60's, I would also...
  6. Ancc exam/aanp failure

    Yes I have been studying much harder this go-round, having a quiz partner and using the APEA Qbank. I retake the AANP next week and I only failed by one or two questions. There has been some hold up with getting my ATT to schedule for the ANCC.
  7. New grad NP employment search

    I got a job offer from my last semester clinical site an Urgent Care clinic. I know of some of my classmates that are having trouble but we just graduated in December. If you network while in school, and during clinical, this helps and you never know...
  8. Completely theoretical question

    Well it also comes down to if you enjoy the work and I do enjoy working in the role of the NP but I don't think I would take less than $40/hr. It is much different than being a bedside RN.
  9. And I do think the Leik review is a better, more thorough review, I really like it and its a great value for the price.
  10. Completely theoretical question

    I will be making double what I made as an RN, however I do live in the deep south. Where the RN pay is a little over $20/hr. starting. I have 5 years experience working Medical and Cardiac ICU. I am ready for the increase in pay as well as the excite...
  11. To answer your question Gdschild I think the first time I took the AANP I didn't go through the manual as thoroughly, I used the CD's and audio recordings. So now I have a quiz partner and I'm making sure I really learn the stuff that I am unfamiliar...
  12. I took the Barkley review prior to testing the first time. I am using the APEA Qbank currently and should be able to schedule my retake by the end of the month. There are a ton of questions with it, what I like is being able take a test or short quiz...
  13. Has Any Body Taken AANP-2014 FNP Boards?s

    I just found out the I got a 493 on the AANP and needed a 500 to pass. I guess I just didn't know it well enough to fail just by one or two questions, so close, I will be studying and trying to retake and PASS at the end of the month.
  14. Ancc exam/aanp failure

    lotus77, I will be taking the ANCC as well as the AANP (second attempt). Any advise on ANCC fnp exam, thanks.
