My name is Dylan and I am a med-srug nurse. I am also enrolled full time as a DNP-FNP student. My interests and aspirations are primary and preventative care; patient education, motivation, and empowerment; and chronic disease management.

  1. FNP predictor exams

    Hello all! I am planning to take AANP in about a month. I have gone through Hollier's APEA, and some select chapters of Fitzgerald's question book for my weaker areas. I proceeded to buy the APEA 150-question predictor two-pack of exams. Exam 1,...
  2. Direct primary care/Concierge care

    To SHGR: This sounds very similar to the practice of the physician I met with that is opening up his own direct primary care practice. Just him, no MA, no receptionist, no nurse, and like the one you described, the patients get his cell number with ...
  3. Direct primary care/Concierge care

    To juan de la cruz : Interesting! Sounds like a higher-end practice in terms of luxury! I value the provider-patient encounter as well and the time that this model may allow for more thorough and quality care. I also think that is neat to have an...
  4. Direct primary care/Concierge care

    To FutureeastcoastNP: Thanks for your reply! This was along the lines of how I was thinking. My personal opinion (and everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I will not condemn or belittle anyone else for having their own opinions as well) i...
  5. Direct primary care/Concierge care

    To Pilot2RN: Good luck with your endeavors! I am interested in this model as well, but like you, I also hope to gain some experience and networking for a few years as an FNP before establishing a direct primary care practice, or even considering it...

  7. Direct primary care/Concierge care

    I recently spoke with a few family medicine residents who when finished with residency are starting "direct primary care practices." This is where patients pay a monthly 'membership-like' fee for a broad range of primary care services including phys...
  8. BSN-DNP, no experience

    I am graduating from a BSN program in 3 weeks. I have no RN experience, but I do have 5 years of CNA experience in med-surg and ICU. I was accepted to a BSN to DNP-FNP program to begin fall, 2014. I have also heard mixed opinions on whether or not...

  10. Applying to DNP program

    To answer your question, whether or not you are able to apply to a DNP program before graduating all depends on the program you are applying to. So, yes you can, but only to the programs that allow that. You will find that programs will do one of t...
  11. Facial hair for interview?

    Painful indeed!! I'm also getting married in June, and my finacee likes the idea of me keeping a neat beard for the wedding. I say its great to keep it as a permanent fixture, but just tighten it up for occasions that call for it.
  12. Facial hair for interview?

    Greetings! I am finishing my BSN this May and am also applying/interviewing for jobs and graduate school. I have already done a couple interviews, and I have left by beard on. Originally, my beard was about 5-6 inches long, but I trimmed it up to a...
