I am a very new NP working for a hospitalist group. I love what I do, I just don't love the long hours. I was a dialysis nurse prior to becoming a NP. I received a call without applying for a job from the nephrologists office manager. She was asking ...

I would like to thank everyone for your advice. I did take the job, but managed to remain PRN at my current job. I am not a good negotiator at all!! I asked them to at least go from $77,500 to $80,000 and they came back with $78,500. But, I just took...

Thank you everyone. I have an interview next week. This will only be my second interview as a NP. The first one they knew my from being with them as a student so they didn't ask a lot. Can anyone tell me what kind of questions to expect? Will they gi...

I live in Mississippi. I was a dialysis nurse for 15 years prior to becoming an APRN. I loved my patients and miss them. I'm not good at negotiating. The NP's usually don't take call here. They round in the dialysis units and see clinic patients. The...

Hello, I am a new graduate since May. My first job as an NP is at a fairly large community hospital as a hospitalist NP. I was there my last two semesters of school so, therefore knew what to expect but it is really hard getting a job right out of sc...

Advice on the ANCC exam please! I am scheduled to take this exam Monday, June 9th. My friend took it and said it has a bunch of pictures and government-type questions. If you have recently taken the exam, do you have any advice on how to study this?

I went to UAB also. I didn't get much from the review during the semester because I was trying to work 3 days a week, take care of the family responsibilities along with 360 clinical hours. But, to answer your question I just did the one that was req...

Yes, NRSKarenRN I was really freaking out when I posted this. I studied for a good six weeks prior to the test, getting up early and going to bed late every day. I totally ignored my family, worked as few hours as totally possible, and it did help. T...

So glad I came across your post. I am taking my ANCC AGACNP exam in 4 days and really nervous!! I heard about the pictures but didn't know what to study in order to prepare for them. Thank you.

Thanks everyone!! I just got an email stating that I will receive another email in a day or two with instructions to schedule my test through ANCC. I'm very nervous. I have a job lined up and need to pass!!

I just applied for certification from ANCC and need advice on how to prepare. Our school had us to take the Barkley online review with the modules, quizzes, CD's, and manual. I took the Comprehensive exam and failed it the first time. The second time...

I work in North MS. The Baptist here starts out at $18 or 19/hr.

What is the book and study guide for the exam? Where can I find it? I work for Fresenius, but they recently bought us. If I take it before the end of the year, I will get extra pay.
