   No I am no longer in CT. Sorry npstudentct. I know how hard it is to find clinicals. That's why for my DNP I'm going to a local school that provides clinics sites. Thank

   BostonFNP, believe me, I asked myself the same question. The problem is sometimes before I even get to the question portion, I'm getting blocked and receiving the cold shoulder. For example, I was...

   Zmansc, it is interesting that you asked that. No I did not do most of my clinicals in NE. I spent one semester at MinuteClinic and it was awful. I learned absolutely nothing other than how to do an...

   I should also add that I can understand people wanting to go with practitioners they feel most comfortable with. I mean some women will only go to other women for ob/gyn purposes, and many people feel...

9. Taking ANCC exam tomorrow

    xtclass08 replied to xtclass08's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I feel you Jessica. I actually had to move back to Florida for clinicals from Connecticut to find decent clinicals. CT has so many schools ( Yale, Fairfeild, Quinnipiac, UConn etc) that finding...
