  1. FNP whitout RN experience??

    I'm sure there are programs that may not need experience. There are graduate entry NP programs out there (I graduated from one) and although it was rigorous (and for good reason), you get to the same...
  2. Pros and Cons of Direct Entry NP Programs?

    I graduated from a grad entry program and I precept NP and PA students. The program is very intensive. Pros: You do finish faster, but don't just "count your hours". It's quality over quantity: Find a...
  3. Clinical Experience Thoughts

    I think there are also websites that help guild and prepare for clinicals but more for beginners or those without much RN experience. Sometimes PA's are accepted. Like
  4. CRNA School and Debt Advice

    I had a couple friends go through a CRNA school and all students from both programs were told the same thing: If you're going into a CRNA program just for the money, choose something else immediately...
  5. Asthmatic emergency

    Any child under respiratory distress absolutely needs to go via 911 to the ER. Basically, unless the mother was strongly refusing any ER transfer, you document AMA and EMS refusal...and then get your...
  6. Forgery,

    Not your fault. You do the best you can. This is now a case between son and parents. I hope there is a serious discussion about this from the parents. If I ever pulled this in school, I know my...
  7. Am I the *******?

    Gotta keep exploring any potential career paths you have interest in. Clearly, you are very unhappy with your current job. Why do you end up going back to nursing? Why lie about it? Do you dread doing...
  8. Seeking Advice

    Sometimes we have to pick our battles. If you seek legal action, is there anyway they have evidence to counter your argument? If they do not have any evidence, then you have a case. If they can prove...
  9. Yep, just relax and if you feel ready, that's all that matters.
  10. What did you wish you knew as a new grad NP?

    UpToDate is the google/wikipedia of the medical world AND you can trust everything and find almost everything on it. Pricey, but so worth it. I haven't seen a good NP, PA, MD, or DO resident/new grad...
  11. Yes it depends on what you mean by low stress... Every position has the good, the bad, the ugly. As long as the good outweigh the bad, it's all good. Even jobs outside of healthcare has good/bad/ugly...
  12. Nurse Practitioner working without a MA

    Wow sounds horrible. Having an MA work with you is such a better way for any company to function/operate. No
  13. Commute to your job?

    I work in urgent care part time right now and commute ranges from 10 minutes to 35 minutes. Although it's 12 hours days (sometimes longer if patient come at the last minute), but it allows me a better...
  14. I Don't Know What to DO

    That's wonderful! Keep moving forward and don't look
  15. What should I expect as a new NP student

    I agree with others in that it depends on the program. I went through my FNP program before I met my husband and had kids. It was advised for us not to work in that particular program and I understood...
  16. Anatomy and Physiology 1 Tips?

    You don't necessarily need A&P knowledge before A&P 1, because this is suppose to be the first fundamental course to learn anatomy and physiology.. If you want, you can do independent studying...
  17. Help! Summer or Regular Semester Pre-Reqs?

    If you don't feel confident in doing it in a shorter time, then by all means, go for the full semester; however, taking two heavy sciences at once can also stretch your concentration. If you feel you...
  18. I Don't Know What to DO

    Asking classmates for help is not a bad option. If they are generous enough to do this, take the offer with grace and gratitude. You can always thank and repay them later, but many times, people will...
  19. It's too late, isn't it? Advice and more+

    I agree, what about private tutoring? In the long run, it may help you identify what you're struggling with and improve. A&P is a big piece of the nursing foundation. You may not use statistic on...
  20. Stay in the MSN+DNP or drop out after the MSN?

    Agreed, the DNP does nothing for you in the working world at this time unless you are going into academics. Eventually, I think later they will phase out the masters program and have all nurse...
  21. Don't worry :) Just do your very best and that's all you can do. If you do not pass this round, it's no biggie: Not the end of the world. Can take it again as well as the AANP. I actually took the...
  22. Clinical Experience Thoughts

    It may have been a series of major miscommunication. I usually recommend student prepare for clinicals by speaking/emailing directly with the preceptor to discussed clinical preparedness and...
  23. Passed NCLEX, Second Attempt

    Amazing! Congrats and thanks for sharing! I hope others keep their chin up and keep fighting! Don't be discouraged if you hit a small speed
  24. 3rd time around:(

    Yes, do not give up! Test anxiety can also contribute. You know your stuff otherwise, you won't have passed a rigorous nursing program! Take a step back, relax and breathe, and re-read the question....
