Can you let me know specifics on what pocket sized book helps and pda software you found helpful? There is a lot out there. Someone highly recommended the Fitzpatrick review texts and thought I would just chip away at it through the program. any sugg...
wow, I have been floored with some of the posts. It takes many to take care of the whole world of patients. To think that any one facet of the profession has the corner on the market so to speak is rediculous and speaks loudly of the educational leve...
:yeah:Congratulations to you! This is very inspiring to me so thank you for sharing! I would like to chip away at a review as I go through my program so I don't feel onslaught at the end at exam prep time and it could be a continual review. Thanks fo...
This is very helpful to know indeed. I have learned much from reading all of the posts regarding what people would do differently. I am just on the beginning cusp of my program and having these suggestions from the get go has been very helpful. I app...
:nurse:Im in NP school and strongly think that HH is not a good base for advanced practice nursing. In an acute care setting you get an onslaught of all kinds of different things and throw in the labs, diagnostics, multiple comorbidities and the prob...

I find this very confusing. I live in the Tucson area, am a BSN level RN, and am in a masters program to be an FNP. I see jobs everywhere! I find that a lot of the hospitals are educating their own and then contracting them from 24-36 months post gra...
For those of you who are beyond this point, was wondering, is it a good idea to get the review books for post grad certification and chip away at it as you go through your program? I know I did this for other certs and by the time I got to the exam i...
I go to University of Phoenix which is a ground program but catered to working adults. (I personally love electricty and flushing toilets and cannot afford to not work full time) I find the University exceptional, very supportive, with advisors for e...
