  6. So confused about whether to continue in FNP or transfer to WHNP help me please!!!!!!

    bayouchick02 replied to Jonesy37's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I never thought about it like that....I'm about done with my FNP program and struggled between that and PNP or even WHNP for the longest time. People warned me against specializing due to...

    bayouchick02 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just wondering: I have always been curious, and now that I am still a student, I figured I could ask and not get laughed at! :rotfl: When you have a patient who presents to the clinic for a UTI or...

    bayouchick02 replied to ktliz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi! I'm about to finish my FNP program in August. I only have gyn/mother baby/nursery/nicu experience; i had absolutely no desire to do med surg.... It can definitely be done , even though I do...

  9. Planning on enrolling in FNP program, have questions

    bayouchick02 replied to Pug RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ive had to find my own preceptors all through the program. While it can be stressful, especially if you don't already have a network of connections, it is doable! Oftentimes, I did a google search,...

  11. Are there any African American NNP students here?

    bayouchick02 replied to GreenVeggieRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am also an AA student in my last semester of FNP school! It's nice to see nurses in general furthering their education! PM me also, so we can share experiences and study tips for the upcoming boards...

  12. how much experience needed to become an NP

    bayouchick02 replied to SMRN2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To tell you the truth, nursing "experience" is relative. I personally have mostly Neonatal ICU experience, and I am more than halfway through the FNP program. Like many other posters have said in...

  13. PNP programs in the Houston area?

    bayouchick02 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have just come to the realization that the Houston area no longer has any PNP programs when there used to be 3 or 4 a couple of years ago. Just wondering, does anyone happen to have any idea why...

  14. Urgent care clinics

    bayouchick02 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm curious...I think I would be interested in working in an urgent care setting, but can FNPs work there or do employers prefer ACNPs?? Also, is the work in the urgent care clinic similar to that of...

  15. Need some words of encouragement

    bayouchick02 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So I officially have 3 more semesters in the FNP program and while I cant wait to be done with school, Im also very nervous. Just started my adult health/internal med clinical rotation and I feel...

  16. Could this be an ARPN thread?

    bayouchick02 replied to CRF250Xpert's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is a good question.....maybe there should be a separate thread for NP students vs. actual practicing NP's, just like the CRNA's have on this

  17. Preceptors?? Anyone??

    bayouchick02 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can someone please tell me how to go about finding a preceptor other than the usual "Googling" then calling around??? I've done that, asked around, and no one is able to help me! I'm worried that I...

  18. Preceptors?? Anyone??

    bayouchick02 replied to bayouchick02's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yep, did my undergrad at another school, in another city......I dont really know any alumni who are practicing NP's now.......hmmm.....I'll ask around though,

  19. Preceptors?? Anyone??

    bayouchick02 replied to bayouchick02's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's exactly how I feel. Why pay all that tuition if you are basically responsible for finding and arranging your own clinical experinces. That's why I did not do an online program!! I believe even...

    bayouchick02 replied to buster4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  21. Clinical Experience

    bayouchick02 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I started clinicals this week and was wondering: on day one, does your preceptor let you jump right in and start seeing patients on your own, try to dx them and come up with a treatment plan?...

  22. is it ok to take advanced pharmacology and health assessment together

    bayouchick02 replied to PRETTYODD's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree, taking both classes at the same time is extremely difficult. I know of one student who did that, but at the end of the semester, she was scared half to death because she didn't know if she...

  23. Any preceptors??

    bayouchick02 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How have you all gone about finding preceptors for clinicals in the past?? We're responsible for finding our own, but I'm having a hard time. Most places have told me they're not affiliated with the...

  24. Any preceptors??

    bayouchick02 replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
