Good stuff, I scored a 80% and thought the practice test was pretty easy... The ones I missed were those 50/50 ones, and I chose the wrong answer lol. I felt like it was pretty straight forward stuff...

Awesome, thanks for that! I am taking mine in a couple weeks. Gone through fitzgerald and leik and mostly just going over it again. I took the AANP $50 practice test and scored a 80 on. Been scoring...

I couldn't agree more with everything said. Its ridiculous the amount of complete BS entails NP training and licensing. No one cares about all those letters behind your name. It doesn't make you look...

Awesome, gratz! Looking forward to getting it over with. Anyone else taking it soon?

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else out there will be taking the AANP in the next month or 2? I am hoping to sit for it at the end of May (graduate this Friday!). Been going through the...

Hey everyone. So I am thinking about getting into an Urgent Care owned by a fairly large healthcare organization in my area. I am a new grad but a very strong candidate. What would be a respectable...

I am in my last semester, graduate in May. I have been busting out my hours so to speak. I really wanna work in the ER, so I want to do everything I possibly can to get there.

I hear ya, the ER I worked at as a RN isn't really hiring right now due to the saturation of the market in my area. So basically I have to go out and get a job at a ER without them really knowing me.

Well I have just shadowed mostly and practically did everything you mentioned for the most part, but I am mostly worried of getting in trouble. I have a feeling my program isn't gonna let me do a...

WOW, I guess I am unable to comprehend what I am reading. You know what, you need to get off your high horse. Who cares that you spent an extra year doing some capstone project to get your DNP....

Any NPs out there working in the ER? What kind of advice would you suggest for breaking into this speciality? I have some RN experience in the ER, not years worth but a decent amount to be...

Jeez man, you and me think alike.

NP's should never introduce themselves as Dr.'s in the clinical setting, even if they have a DNP. I just say, "Hey, I am Mike a nurse practitioner. What brought you in today?" Most of the time they...

Thanks, thats what I was curious about. I have spent some days in the ER, and the PA I am following is treating it as a "shadowing" experience. He lets me evaluate, do a quick H&P, and tell him what...

Just curious if anyone out there has done a few specialty hours in like the ED or ortho and just didn't count it towards their clinical hours? FNP programs obviously won't let you get your hours in...

This is laughable... Seriously getting this bent out of shape because he called you by your first name instead of Dr.? APN's with doctorate degrees aren't called Dr. in the clinical setting, only the...

Are you serious? A majority of NP students aren't even on par with medical residents in knowledge. So you think we should get paid for it? You are the one that gives us a bad name.

Hey everyone, I am approaching my last year of FNP school (thank god!) and I have this coming up summer off (another thank god! haha). Anyways I was wanting to still be a little productive and pursue...

None. I am going to evaluate and assess my patient. Treat them accordingly and provide the appropriate education. I do not need a framework some nurse with a PhD designed to be able to do my job and...

Not sure, probably just going to pick one at random and write my paper on it. It will be the same "fluff" regardless.

I would like to compile a list of signs and symptoms you would ALWAYS report to the MD or send the patient to the ER for. Ill start with the obvious ones: Chest pain SOB Severe Nausea Acute...

You are right, this is what I was trying to elate to. I believe this theory is irrelevant to practice, in my eyes. I do not need to subscribe to some theory some person with a PhD wrote. Sorry, its...

Finished my first semester of patho, pharm, and health assessment, you know real classes that are significant to my future job. So this semester I am taking some nonsense advanced nursing theory and...

I think the DNP is a complete waste of time that will ultimately not matter in the real world. It will not suffice in helping your clinic practice at all unless they added clinical relevant course...

I hated floor nursing with a passion... All I felt like was a middleman with to much responsibility and not enough time. Doing wound care one minute and the next getting some obese slob a coke,...
