1. AANP exam - did I pass????????

   lakebabynurse replied to nurseguy1961's topic in NP Students

   I'm chuckling inside, because I felt the same way. I actually wrote it on my hand with the marker that prometrics gave me! Check the aanp website under your certification information (sign into it) mine showed up in two days and I took it May of this...

2. NP Certification Exams and Pass Rates

   lakebabynurse replied to Spacklehead's topic in NP

   I absolutely did look to see what pass rates were nationally before I chose which exam to take (chose AANP). I am a family nurse practitioner and wanted the best possible rates of pass. I can be credentialed under ANCC just by passing the AANP and ap...

3. Need advise regarding choosing 1st NP job

   lakebabynurse replied to lakebabynurse's topic in NP

   Thanks so much, I look forward to hearing from you in regards to this. I also know that the new edition of Advance for NP's just came out with a very interesting turnover in the retail health setting, but from looking back on some of the posts, it do...

   lakebabynurse posted a topic in NP

   I have recently became certified and licensed and am now getting ready to start my life as an NP. The current job I am in is nights- other than that I love it, but no job there for NP (L&D). I also have started teaching this year -which I love, ...

7. FNP Certification

   lakebabynurse replied to beherenow's topic in Advanced

   I would really have to say I prefer APEA. Amalie has a way of explaining things that make the concepts stick. I wrote a thank you email to her yesterday and by last night, Amalie , Jeannie (her assistant) and another person from APEA had all emailed ...

8. FNP Certification

   lakebabynurse replied to beherenow's topic in Advanced

   To be honest with you, I did a lot. I have always been at the top of my class and I was panicking because I had been out of classes for so long (classes ended in May 2008- clinical just ended in December 2009). I taught BSN students for the entire Sp...

9. FNP Certification

   lakebabynurse replied to beherenow's topic in Advanced

   Glad to hear it! We need to push for excellence and make people proud to be part of AANP! They did put out a statement a few months back about their intention to be responsive and professional. Let's keep them to high standards. Good luck to you on y...

10. FNP Certification

    lakebabynurse replied to beherenow's topic in Advanced

    I took the AANP yesterday (passed). I have been out of the classroom for two years, but have been studying like a mad person for 4 months. AANP has always been very responsive to me, I called them yesterday to ask questions regarding certification an...

11. A couple of simple AF questions

    lakebabynurse replied to jtrauma's topic in Government

    Little Greek- Im sure I know the answer to this, but with working the overtime and extra on call, do you get any form of reimbursement or extra time off? and if you don't mind me asking, what base are you at? Do you feel the work is the same as in th...

12. lost all self-esteem

    lakebabynurse replied to garfieldrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with all posts here. That nurse was being spiteful and doing the "eat their young" trick, so that she could look better by making you look and feel bad. Everyone started out as a beginner at some time. When you have a cervix that is far poste...

    lakebabynurse replied to cat2008's topic in Government

    Of course my recruiter cannot "Quote" anything yet.. he stated that he has heard rumors that the bonus would be the same as the loan payoff- $30k. I am waiting for something to be in writing first before I believe it.:wink2:

14. "First station" for a new AF nurse?

    lakebabynurse replied to CarolinaHurricaneFan's topic in Government

    From what my recruiter told me, we have a big 4 hospital type thing. Langley, Wright Patterson, Lackland and one in Cal- think its Tinker. IF you put these on dream sheet- good chance you will get one of the four. Since I am OB- I only have a few ho...

    I am looking for some information on waivers. Is it possible to obtain a waiver for past headaches? Im not sure if I was diagnosed with migraines, but about a year and 7 months ago (during the middle of working full time MSN studies full time and gra...
