   CVS Nurse Practitioner

   Freckledkorican posted a topic in NP

   Hello all, I am set to graduate next Summer and have started looking for positions. I plan to apply to a couple fellowships/residencies. I know I will not be ready to practice on my own when I graduate and need a solid educational transition to practice. If I do not get accepted into one of the programs, I am thinking about applying at CVS. For new NP grads that started their careers with CVS, how was it? How long did you train under a mentor before you were on your own? Thanks in advance.

   Seeking Fall 2020 Pediatric Preceptor

   Freckledkorican replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Advanced

   It is tough out there. I gave in and found a preceptor through an agency. They charge $$$ and it hurts to pay, but I am not willing to push my graduation a semester in order to find someone who is willing to precept for free. I will just work extra shifts at work to make up the cost. I hope others have better luck than me.

   What resources you used to prepare for AANP

   Freckledkorican posted a topic in NP Students

   Hello all, I plan on taking the AANP exam in June 2021 and I thought I would slowly start gathering resources to prepare for it. I want to pass it the first time. What is your advice and what do you think is the most useful study resource(s)? Thank you! Update: Nevermind. I did a quick search and for the most part, many said Leik is the best resource.

   Seeking Fall 2020 Pediatric Preceptor

   Freckledkorican posted a topic in Advanced

   Hello, As if things weren't difficult before COVID-19, it's tougher now to find preceptors. I am a GWU FNP student and not having any luck after contacting 50+ offices (started before the virus). Does anyone know of any Pediatric NPs/MDs/DOs willing to take a student this August? I live in northern VA, but willing to travel up to 2 hours away in VA and in MD. Thank you!

   Finding my fnp preceptor

   Freckledkorican replied to my2butterflies's topic in NP Students

   I am in the same nerve wracking situation. I begin my program on Monday and hope to start working part-time next month. Once I get settled into both, I am going to network hard. I live in northern VA and I have heard horror stories of people driving hours from their homes for clinicals. I am getting myself ready mentally to do what needs to be done. Good luck to all!

   Patient First Urgent/Primary Care Clinics

   Freckledkorican replied to Freckledkorican's topic in Virginia

   Hello! In June, HR interviewed me and I did not hear a peep until a week ago. I was not selected for the applied site, but HR inquired if I would be interested in an interview with a director and nursing manager at a different site. Of course! As soon as I finished the interview a few days ago, HR called my references and submitted a background check, which I took as a positive sign. I hope to hear from them next week. Fingers crossed for both of us!

   Hello! I start an NP program in the fall and I am already starting to research fellowships/residencies. Has anyone done the plastic surgery fellowship at Cleveland Clinic or known anyone who has gone through it? How was it? Thanks in advance!

    George Washington FNP

    Freckledkorican replied to Mluer001's topic in NP Students

    After I read the thread titled "Disappointment in NP Program", I decided to actively start looking for preceptors within the next week. I do not want to sit out a semester just because I can't find a willing NP, DO, or MD. Has anyone tried ENP or PreceptorLink? I moved to the D.C./MD/VA area 6 weeks ago from Germany, so I am unfortunate in that I don't have a strong network to lean on. Thank you!

    George Washington FNP

    Freckledkorican replied to Mluer001's topic in NP Students

    Hello all! I am excited and stressed to start the FNP full-time option in August. The part that is stressing me is the clinical portion. I'd like someone's feedback on that part, especially if they are/were in the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia area. How did you go about finding preceptors? How difficult was it? If you could do it over again, what would you change? Congrats to everyone!
