1. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

   Summerheat replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

   I can actually sympathise with you here. Most will say you deserved the clinical warnings etc.. I will take the other side of the coin for practical sake. A clinical warning is intended to do one of two things: motivate you, or count as a log against...

2. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

   Summerheat replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

   Very interesting discussion but no one mentioned the logistics here. Your job is healthcare and saving lives. Perhaps more security would be in order. That way, you can care for the carnage about you instead of contributing to it.

8. ANCC 2013...HELP!!!!

   Summerheat replied to TommyD's topic in NP Students

   Tommy: You might wish to consider looking at the ANCC (and even AANP) sites for information on P& P as well as cultural competencies. I also believe Fitzgerald has a link on their homepage to those topics as well. It is certainly worth a call to...

9. AANP Certfication Exam ( I failed it)

   Summerheat replied to ERandAestheticFNP's topic in NP Students

   Here it is November of 2013. I failed the AANP a week ago. I was amazed at how different the wording and structure of the questions were from my studying prep. I used the online Fitzgerald and CDS, attended a live Barkley course and used their CDs an...
