My work calls all of the NPs, DOs, and MDs "providers" when speaking about us as a group. I don't have a problem with it

They have cohorts starting multiple times throughout the year, I would say at least every 2-3 months. Full time and part time can start at the same time, you just will not all follow the same course schedule.

I started off working part time while going to school full time and eventually switched to PRN in the third semester of school. It was manageable. My work provides malpractice insurance but I also chose to purchase my own to better protect myself whi...

I had 3 job offers within 2 months of graduation prior to passing boards. I am making $75,000 per year. Once my school loans are paid off my take home salary will be significantly more than as an RN. I had an offer in Cuyahoga county for $85,000. I e...

I took a job at an NHSC site. Started at 73,000, increased to 75,000 after 90 days, and am to increase to 80,000 after my first year. I believe this is lower than the average because another offer I had was $40.96 hourly which comes out to $85,000 pe...

Future- what MissT said, although they have specific float people so you should only have to possibly float the one day per schedule that you are "on call" which means you might have to go in if someone in your district calls off. Otherwise I believe...

I graduated in January, had multiple interviews in February, had three offers, and started a job in March. I am in the Cleveland/Akron area. Had way more trouble and longer time frame finding an RN job a few years ago as a new grad. So I can't speak ...

Do you carry your own malpractice insurance even if covered by your employer? Any recommendations for companies? Right now I am looking at NSO and Mercer Proliability who partners with organizations I am a member of. Thanks!

Correct

Same for me. I am finding Proliability is better coverage for much less $$. Thanks.

Boston - do you happen to know if Marsh and Mercer Proliability are the same company? I saw it posted somewhere else that someone named Marsh but the link went to Proliability. I am torn between continuing with NSO which is what I had for RN or swi...

http://Www.familynpprep.com is the ANCC test site and you are correct about the other site which is for AANP. I did a ten test bundle

I currently have NSO for my RN policy but just was looking at other places as it is quite a price difference between the NSO policy and the Mercer Proliability (same coverage amount and occurrence based). About $500 difference per year but I might ju...

Sorry maybe try family np prep.com. Then go to the site that is for AANP not ANCC. I forget the exact address but you should be able to google it.

I work with a doctor who was moved across the country. And is now on his third site

I took the Fitzgerald live class, used her review book (separate from the class book), Leik review book, APEA review question book, and tests from fnptestprep.com. I studied for about 4 weeks for a few hours each day.

I took Fitzgerald review and passed aanp exam on Monday for FNP. Fitzgerald recommends studying 4-6 weeks. I took the class on 1/21 and tested 3/3.

I just accepted a job at a site that offers loan forgiveness and it is about 5-10 k less a year than the highest paying job I interviewed for. Only about 5 k less than some of the others. It might vary by location. It also starts at a lower salary du...

Sorry for the late response... I had to take a telemetry exam for my particular unit which was separate from PBDS.

Yes. Luckily for me my brother calls on offices for home health so he was able to scope out who took students or was willing. Aside from that I googled offices near my house and started calling. Also you could join the state np organization and they ...

I am in Ohio... I wouldn't say it's the worst market but not the best either. I would imagine especially if you are in an oversaturated market, the degree would help if anything, obviously not hinder you. I was impressed overall with my education a...

I am also wondering if you have to have the job before applying. I interviewed at an FQHC yesterday so just wondering what all it entails to get the loan repayment. I know there is only a certain amount of $$$ and it is based on the score. So if I...

I am sorry you are feeling frustrated. I am graduating from Georgetown this month... have been done with classes for a few weeks and receive my degree on the 31st. I agree with the clinical aspect, it was very frustrating and I was worrying every s...

I attended Case for my BSN. I am happy with my experience there, although I have no other school to compare it to. I was hired by a manager at Cleveland Clinic after doing my final preceptorship there on that floor. I had a friend who graduated from...

From what I know the majority of states require a certification exam. This follows the Consensus Model recommendations for APRN. I would advise any new grad to take a certification exam. You could always do this at a later date if need be but it seem...
