1. Applying for DEA with temporary FNP

   mightymurse posted a topic in NP

   I am a new grad waiting to test next week. Can I apply for my DEA before testing, with just a temporary certification in AZ, or do I have to wait until I have the real deal? The motivation is to get the ball rolling so I can start my new job. Thanks.

   mightymurse posted a topic in NP

   I am a soon-to-be new FNP grad, currently live in Phoenix, AZ. But, have been considering a move to Florida, closer to family. I know practice is restricted in Florida, but how is the pay and job pool? How are the prospects for new grads? It looks...

   mightymurse replied to mightymurse's topic in Arizona

   How about for Block 4? Which books did you actually use? That really was great advice, checker1981! After finishing block 3 I would definitely suggest only buying a used med-surg book and a used peds book. It's all you really need.

8. Gateway LPN Fast Track

   mightymurse replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona

   I bought the book-box but didn't use most of the books in there, including the digital versions. Big waste of money for me. I'd buy a used, older edition of the main text online and maybe the saunders nclex-pn review book. If you don't have a pda, I...

9. Moving to Phoenix...need school advice?

   mightymurse replied to sincerebliss's topic in Arizona

   Check out Gateway's fast track LPN, then bridge to their RN. The LPN only requires an AZ CNA to apply. Can't beat the price either. Estrella Mountain and the Maricopa Skills Center also have LPN programs. All three of these schools are part of the Ma...

    Thanks for the reply! Did you use any of the IV books? They have two on the list. I'm thinking my drug books on the iPhone will do.

12. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    mightymurse replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona

    you'll only have clinicals on one of those three days. check the class days and times, too. there are some extra lab days thrown in, but for the most part your schedule should be 2 class days, 1 clinical day.

    mightymurse replied to mightymurse's topic in Arizona

    No, but I did get in for the fall. Yikes, that's a tough break on the fingerprint card. I will keep my phone with me on Monday, just in case! Good luck, I can't wait to get started!
