Thank you!

Hi everyone, looking for any suggestions for the AG-ACNP student to use for clinical/general study and review. My critical care course uses Barkley’s 3e ACNP eBook (and Washington Manual & Marino’s ICU Book) and while it has a lot of great information that I can review on a phone or tablet, I don’t see myself using it as a clinical resource- of course I could be wrong! There are so many guides and study aids on the market! I’ve picked up a few here and there but haven’t found one that I really like. Does anyone have any recommendations for clinical resources that are relatively comprehensive and offer high-yield information? Has anyone benefited from using Bates’ pocket guide? Thank you in advance!!

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I agree with your sentiments related to group assignments, and I feel like I learn much more when I'm responsible for the entirety of an assignment myself.. but, I will start paying closer attention to some others' responses and to try to pick up on the details I've missed. Thank you!

Hi everyone. I'm about half-way done with my hybrid NP Program, and I've found that the last two semesters rely heavily on interacting on discussion forums to work through case study assignments. As with most students in the program, I feel as if I work hard and try to submit the most comprehensive answers possible. I rarely receive input from others. I find myself reading others responses and not having much to contribute. I'll come back to the message boards at a later time and others have made recommendations that I glazed over or didn't even think of. I am not a big fan of these assignments, but I know they like to drill group work into us because we'll be collaborating with others as future providers. So.. Does anyone have any advice for these type of assignments? I want to contribute more to the group discussion and I know the obvious answer is to spend more time finding any gaps, reviewing the question and figuring out how I'd answer if I was assigned the question... I guess I have trouble noticing the small details at first blush (especially since most of the answers are 90% there). I think this has made me question my status as student. I spend the vast majority of my time outside of work focused on school, but now I'm concerned I'm not picking up on small details that should be obvious for a student at this point in my program. Thanks for reading!
