  1. New NP anxiety and imposter syndrome

    Deep breath. You’re preparing yourself well for this role. They’ve hired you because you have great credentials. And they know you’re a new grad. Take comfort in the fact that its a teaching...
  2. Will ENP become a primary certification?

    As an FNP working in the ED (studying for ENP right now), I wouldn’t entirely discount the experience that primary care provides. After all, many acute issues are exacerbations of chronic issues,...
  3. Transitioning from bedside RN to NP

    100% agree with Numenor. NP is an entirely different role, with its own downsides. The hours may not be better (especially if you count admin time that’s often off the clock or call). If you want...
  4. Best Review Bundle For AANP Exam

    I second everything favthing says. I did all three- PLUS some. All were useful. I’d recommend buying a used copy of a course from one of the online groups in facebook. That way you can try more than...
  5. Is going back to school worth it?

    While the pay may vary from state to state / rural vs urban environments and may be lucrative.... do NOT go back to school for the money. Nuh-uh. Do it because you REALLY want to be a nurse...
  6. Nurse Practitioner- Job Outlook

    @adventure_rn I second this 100%. @kerleigh722 Don’t hesitate to take the time you need to research your career path. If there are specialties you are interested in, it will be easier to get into as...
  7. Nurse Practitioner- Job Outlook

    Hi Kerleigh, Just a few thoughts from a recent FNP grad- if you’re interested in inpatient care, most FNP programs will NOT prepare you for it. Many do not allow any in-hospital clinicals- for me to...
  8. A complaint against an NP

    Shameful situation. Do what you gotta do. Truthfully, its not just an APRN problem. Seems a lot of healthcare providers step into psych without training. We’ve got an obgyn-turned-mental health...
  9. Hands on Training in school?

    Hi Oldmahubbard- I’ve followed your posts for a while and really respect your opinion and experience. It seems things have largely changed since you were a student! Here was my experience: BSN- I...
  10. Georgetown/Simmons????

    Hi Future Provider, I totally get what you're saying. I think that recent grad vs not-so-recent grads have very different experiences MSN programs (regardless of the school). Having graduated 10 years...
  11. Even if the two are the same cost, the question is: what job do you want to do? If you want to try out nursing, the ASBN is a terrific option. It'll give you the chance to really learn about being a...
  12. Rock your look whatever you go with, but certainly don't straighten it unless you want to! Certain jobs may require that you pull your hair back (or you might just realize that it is better to keep...
  13. Georgetown/Simmons????

    Seriously? Classes at Georgetown EASY? I have to question whether your friend really did the GU program (I have heard people say GW was easy- and people almost always mix those two up). Also,...
  14. Hi Meredith, I come from a similar background as you (MPH international health and development) and spent the last 8 years working in global health programs in DC before going back to school for my...
  15. ASN or BSN for NGO work? Location: MA

    Sounds like a great plan! If you've got the languages, you are halfway there! :-) In the meantime, I encourage you to look into options that might expose you to health in the community- maybe working...
  16. ASN or BSN for NGO work? Location: MA

    If you're really committed to the NGO route, I'd recommend going for a BSN, especially since MSF requires mgmt experience. It's great that you already have some developing country experience! I'd also...
  17. What languages do you speak?

    Spanish and French here. Just trying to figure out what to do with them in
  18. Georgetown FNP program Fall 2017

    Hi pams155, thank you! Don't fret too much about the wait- mine took at FULL 6 WEEKS (the longest 6 weeks ever). I did the interview back in December and submitted my full application on New Year's...
