  1. EKG help

    Spacklehead, I think I'm just not a 'picture' person. I don't like tables and graphs and such. Sometimes I will ask a MD questions, but most of the time we are just too busy. I think it just...
  2. Any info on University of South Alabama

    jkpowell23, To correct a statement in my last post, it was my clinical inst that did not like me so actively pursuing preceptors (not my preceptor at the time). I found that first clinical semester...
  3. Any info on University of South Alabama

    I have to say that jkpowell23's assessment is correct. I am currently in my last semester of the FNP program. I think it is a general consensus that our class felt this weeding out process through our...

  5. FNP CERT EXAM

    2 questions about cert exams: 1) when you get a question with lab values, do they give you the ref ranges? 2) are the names of meds given in trade and generic names, i.e. Lasix (furesomide)?
  6. University of South Alabama MSN program

    Currently, for the theory courses (politics, research, pharm, patho etc...) all tests are done at home on your computer. For the FNP program, once you start the role courses, most tests are done every...

    Well sounds like you have the experience/foundation you need! My husband is a paramedic and he can outperform many of the nurses I know, even me! Just had our 3rd test of the semester tonight and got...
  9. University of South Alabama FNP

    The tests have all been online except the one we took on campus. Regarding clinicals, just begin talking to and lining up preceptors ASAP, even before your clinical courses begin. While you can't...
  10. University of South Alabama FNP

    For the FNP program there is only one pre-planned campus visit, which is in the first clinical semester (first fall of the FNP role course-CMN 568/569). For us it was mid-November on a Tues/Wed....

  13. University of South Alabama MSN program

    CMMG, I can tell you it was a blow to my ego to have gotten 3 B's (CMN 571~health promo, CMN 568~Adv Family Nsg 1, NU 508~Roles). The only other B I got was in patho. All of these Bs were like one...
  14. Anyone out there have the most current Fitzgerald Review course book (I have the CDs), or a Hollier review CDs with course book they want to sell or will be planning to sell soon? I"m looking for the...

  19. Help did not pass the ANCC

    Smitty08, I have the same question as Peaceful...what book do you recommend?
  20. JALEXSHOE, May I ask you a couple more questions? In the final 3 semesters, how often/how many SOAP notes will we be expected to produce? We only had 3 this semester, but of course we only had 40...
  21. Thanks JALEXSHOE! Although I know there are more clinical hours and more difficult grading criteria, I'm looking forward to only 2 classes for the rest of the program. I did 4 this semester. I don't...
  22. USA NP program-

    If you are interested in USA FNP, do the summer start (versus fall or spring). With this curriculum you will finish all your pre-reqs before the clinical semesters start, and with the exception of the...
  23. JALEXSHOE and other posters, I am just finishing up my first clinical semester in the FNP program and anticipate graduating Dec 2010. It is not easy but anything worth having isnt! While I personally...
  24. Well, that is a touchy subject right now among classmates. Many of us do feel like we are in fact teaching ourselves. To a certain degree, I expect this of an online program, or rather that you must...
