    I am doing the APEA review. I agree its a lot of money for a review course but, I see it as an investment. I do have het CDs but I just want to sit through the class so it will all sink

    AANP scores weighted?

    MERCEDES674 replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I came up with the same math when I did it that way earlier. So around 6 points each. 100 out of 135 is a very narrow margin. I think I liked the NCLEX better. Lol I might just call and ask them...

    AANP scores weighted?

    MERCEDES674 replied to MERCEDES674's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I read that too. It just doesn't make sense if there is a 700 point difference between 100-800 for the AANP. I think they changed their test since the Leik book was printed. I was reading the...

    AANP exam

    MERCEDES674 replied to reeya's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Reeya, I felt the same way about those Fitzgerald CD's. Amelie is very good she is easy to listen too and you learn a lot. I would recommend her CD's. Many people say that she prepares you for...

    How to prepare for NP school??

    MERCEDES674 replied to silverbelle's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would certainly go over patho and A&P. You don't get any A&P so if you have been out for a while then I would definitely review those

    Is Med-Surg really a dead end?

    MERCEDES674 replied to JustWannaWork,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Med-Surg is a good place to start out. You will learn a lot there and it will make it easier to transfer to another unit as far as knowledge wise goes. Every hospital is different. I found it hard...

    Indiana State University has a LPN to BSN program. I don't know anything about it so you might just want to ask around or post the question of the online/RN board. Do not go through the college...

    new grad keep job or quit

    MERCEDES674 replied to topacio's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm going to say keep your job. The economy and the job market is too bad to leave your job and search for another one in a market that is not hiring unexperienced or experienced nurses. Besides,...

    My school only looked at my last 60 hours which is what I think most schools do to make their decisions. I would suggest that you apply to more than one school. A lot of people apply to only one...
