   Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Post-Master's PMHNP Certificate Fall 2023

   Mergirlc replied to FNPRCPR's topic in NP Students

   Piggybacking on what city_FNP said..... if you are licensed in another state which accepts JHU's program: could you go do clinical rotations in MD for the post-certificate AND does JHU help or have connections for placement in their general area? I...

   Is it worth it at this point?

   Mergirlc replied to stargurl2006's topic in NP

   Are you currently working in your speciality as a nurse? Could you ask your manager or whomever is in charge if there's a possibility of you staying on as a NP there? Another alternative is, if you still have an amicable relationship w/ your ex...

   Feeling defeated with NCLEX... I need serious help.

   Mergirlc replied to Hardcore Believers's topic in NCLEX

   I would recommend going to YouTube and watching "Registered Nurse RN" videos. I swear, she has probably guided thousands of nursing students through their programs. She explains things well and covers everything from nursing school.

   Mergirlc replied to NoFly-4645's topic in General Students

   There's another thing to consider about being exempted. It's quite possible for your school to grant an exemption, however it is ultimately up to the various clinical sites you will train at to decide if they will accept you or not. Every healthcare...

   License school closed

   Mergirlc replied to NotFlo's topic in General Nursing

   Agree w/ the above post. Here's another angle: If the school was located and run by a specific school district, you can try to contact them. Some schools may exist in the city's school district, so the records will go to the school district ...

   Chronicles of a VA APRN Resident

   Mergirlc replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Advanced

   https://www.VA.gov/oaa/nursingprograms/nursing-programs.asp Just a tip, for primary care residencies there are 2 different choices under "program." Make sure to look at each one. I think it was just probably an error, but the only difference ...

   Mergirlc replied to FNPRCPR's topic in NP Students

   @FNPRCPR Hi. Just checking in to see how it's going for you. Also, besides the Heldt books, would you be able to DM me or provide in this chat, the textbooks list used for this certificate program? I see the last time you wrote, the program was...

    Mergirlc replied to lscott1211's topic in NP Students

    Just curious....what did you use to study initially? What worked for you and what didn't, if you don't mind me asking? I'll be taking my first test in a few months. I'm debating whether to get either Fitzgerald or Sarah Michelle review courses...
