1. AOCNP advice

   Jpiittmann97 replied to Jpiittmann97's topic in Oncology

   Congrats on passing the FNP exam! I absolutely love working in oncology. It takes a lot of interest and purpose to succeed and not feel burnt out, as (in my experience) I have many tough hospice conversations and unfortunately lose patients too often...

2. AOCNP advice

   Jpiittmann97 replied to Jpiittmann97's topic in Oncology

   In case anyone comes looking for the same information I was, I passed my AOCNP exam 9/6/23. I will say, I tend to be a good test taker/don't have test anxiety, which helps. The way I studied was to read through the Advanced Oncology Nursing Certifica...

3. AOCNP advice

   Jpiittmann97 posted a topic in Oncology

   Hi everyone, I am wondering if there's anyone who has advice on the AOCNP exam. Anything like grades recommended for practice exams prior to registering, advice on study tips/resources, etc. I have been in oncology for just over a year and have been ...

   Jpiittmann97 posted a topic in NP

   Hi everyone, I am a newer NP and am changing jobs for the first time. I am trying to change my NPI information to the new employer, but I am unsure if I need to request as an authorized official or something else? Does anyone have experience in ...

5. Procedures as an FNP

   Hi, I was wondering if anyone who's a FNP has been trained in procedures by the doctor they work with. Any procedures, like biopsies, paracentesis, etc. Thank you!

   Hi! My best advice is to read as much of the material as you can and use the study guides provided. The study guide may be a little more generalized but they give the info you'll need for the tests. It is tough, but you'll be OK if you focus on the s...

   Yes, that is the order. The school gives you a list of previously used preceptors, which is helpful if you're in the areas with previous students, unfortunately I haven't found a lot of use. CSU is super hard to find info on though, which is why I in...

   I am PRN at work and work Friday/Saturday and do clinicals mon-wed usually. This is a lot, but I get done with clinicals faster and have time to focus solely on the didactic portion with tests after. It all depends on your situation. I don't have kid...

   Hi! I am currently in the geriatric semester. You are able to use a family practice and only see people 55 and older. I did not find any problems finding a preceptor there, but the pediatric and OB/GYN rotation has been hard (I live in Florida, so we...

    Jpiittmann97 replied to zachem24's topic in NP Students

    Hey! I'm in Florida, so I can't help you there, but so far I've enjoyed the program. The hardest part is finding a preceptor, but that's with many of the schools. I would recommend the program so far, I'm 2 semesters in and starting my 3rd soon. I ha...

    Hi, the tests that I've had so far have been proctored. You can use a website or get a local proctor (like a local college, etc) approved before the test. At CSU the tests seem to be worth a pretty good chunk of your grade. The classes I've taken hav...

    Hi Madison, I just finished my second semester (first clinical semester) with CSU. So far, I like the program. It is definitely a self teaching setup but I don't mind it. From my experience, the instructors are typically good at responding pretty qui...
