Tachynurseguy, I see that this thread is about 3 years old but I am an Fnp student in Arizona and am looking for a clinical preceptor and all of my options other than a paid site have fallen through..Any suggestions?

ClayH, I saw you live in Phoenix Arizona, I actually live in Scottsdale. My question is how did you go about finding a preceptor? I'm starting clinicals in a couple of months and still trying to find one. Any suggestions for NPs/MDs/DOs in the Phoenix area? Thanks!

ClayH, I am also in Phoenix Arizona by the way! Any tips or insight into advanced pharmacology and health assessment? Does health assessment have proctored exams as well?

I'm passing patho thankfully, but does anyone have suggestions on pharmacology and health assessment exams? Were the classes more difficult/strenuous than patho? I can't wait to finally move on after these next two courses!

Congrats! Can't wait until I can make this same post

I know two graduates from Chamberlain's FNP program that had jobs within 3 months of graduating. The ease of employment could also vary from city to city

Pinpoint your areas of weakness and focus extra time on those. Quizlet practice questions or questions from the Saunders book can be very helpful as well. Learn pneumonics for major concepts. Teach major concepts to a friend, spouse/partner, dog, anyone. Even if you stumble through it, verbally reciting information can engrain it in a different way.

I have a friend working nights who is almost finished with NP school and they have not had any complaints about work/school interference.

That is unfortunate to hear. I feel some of these nurses are often not let go simply because they have many years of experience, especially if they have been on a particular floor for 10+ years.

I am in Informatics at Olivet Nazarene, Patho and Pharm are coming up soon and after reading these comments I'm a bit worried! Did most students end up passing patho and pharm? Any suggestions?

Congrats! No better feeling

Yes, I had to re-take a couple science courses and a statistics course to get my grades up to par for a BSN program
