    ATT: How long for AANP and ANCC?

    anh06005 replied to anh06005's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks! I don't plan on taking ANCC but I figure asking about it too might help others who stalk these boards as much as I have! Your experience with the AANP is what I have read the most so just glad...

    I might fail OB clinical, nervous and kinda suicidal

    anh06005 replied to Rocktheman's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Great! You might meet with your instructor again to get more feedback and see what else you can do to get your grade back up. And make sure the instructor agrees that it's going well (as you feel)....

    I might fail OB clinical, nervous and kinda suicidal

    anh06005 replied to Rocktheman's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Nursing is NOTHING to hurt yourself over. Nursing does not show the world your self worth. GET. HELP. I had a BSN classmate commit suicide our junior year. The thoughts are REAL but your life is worth...

    How did you celebrate passing your boards?

    anh06005 replied to anh06005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NCLEX can totally count! I just went straight into MSN after I graduated so now that I'm finishing this I feel like I'll finally be a "big girl nurse" (as in my ultimate goal). So it is NOT that RN's...

    I assume you mean a writing utensil. I'm lucky to keep up with the ones the DME or hospice agencies drop

    Thinking of picking up a minor?

    anh06005 replied to greenjeans26's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I minored with my BSN. Partly because I HATE history and literature so I didn't want to endure an entire semester of those. Instead I paid out of pocket to take a few from the local community college...

    New Grad NP applying for RN job?

    anh06005 replied to Summers3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think she is saying that if, WHEN she graduates, she cannot find a NP job if it's weird to apply for a RN position so she can at least have a paycheck coming in. Plan A = get a NP job after NP...

    NP programs that do not require RN Experience/LOR's?

    anh06005 replied to prettyboyswag's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The thought of being a NP without first being a RN is baffling to me. How can you be an advanced practice nurse without first being a nurse? I never imagined there being a program that doesn't require...

    I'd love to hear too! I'll be FNP, graduating in December. I LOVE cardiology and would love to work in a cardiology

    Struggling New Graduate 😥

    anh06005 replied to Jasmine2691's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Your skills take time. I know in my program I had a few days in NICU (really mostly observation) and a couple of days in a nursery. That was the extend of my baby skills for clinicals. It takes time...

    Choosing an MSN track

    anh06005 replied to sdlrn's topic in Advanced Practice

    Oh and several classes for each of the tracks overlap. I'd suggest finding a school that offered all of these and comparing the curriculums to see just how much difference. Or, as I mentioned before,...

    Choosing an MSN track

    anh06005 replied to sdlrn's topic in Advanced Practice

    There were several in my FNP class who also got their education "certificates". I actually started out doing it also as it only added 2-3 classes. Thing is I don't think you actually got certified...

    AANP position on NP education and post-grad training

    anh06005 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would have LOVED more sciences in my MSN program! It'd be nice to know a little more nitty gritty as to WHY this med works for this or WHY this disease increases risk of this. I would have loved...

    Home Health or Something

    anh06005 replied to bvouge's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My home health actually hires only experienced RN's. I would be leery about going into home health without any experience. It's you out there with a SICK patient. Just had an experience today of a...

    AANP examination changes

    anh06005 replied to nursemommy428's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OH NO! I'm with you! I graduate 12/13/14 and have already applied to AANP. My plan was to take ASAP as I'm trying to study during this last semester. Yes all I typically do is have my head in a book...

    FNP exam....PLease Help

    anh06005 replied to pageturner's topic in Advanced Practice

    I graduate in 85 days (go us!) and my program discussed the exams in our class meeting this past week. They didn't push one over the other and it was really the students who chimed in. I have been...

    I am not a good napper so I just had a normal schedule...just reversed am to pm. It was MUCH nicer when my 3 nights were in a row. Then on my days off I could see some sunlight at least. During the...

    Suspend within 1 month of hire

    anh06005 replied to berhaelee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Huh. Seems a bit harsh then I nothing bad came of it. And if it was just a timing issue. But I wouldn't want to work for a company who didn't support me. And yes 4 patients isn't too bad but it was a...

    Suspend within 1 month of hire

    anh06005 replied to berhaelee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So did the patient have ANY negative effect from the medication error? You mention she's moving, alert, and not in bad shape but I don't see where you mentioned if the patient had ANY effect from the...

    Novolog

    anh06005 replied to casi's topic in Patient Medications

    Well if I remember right the onset is about 15 minutes so as long as they are eating by then I'd think it's fine. The DOCTOR said 5 minutes which I'd be fine with too but as you mentioned it's near...

    Questions for nurse practitioners

    anh06005 replied to brialynn's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well I'll say it can be tough. I went part time taking 1-2 classes per semester so the THEORY part wasn't too bad. Just time for papers, readings, research, etc. even my pharm, patho, and physical...

    Kind of torn between two jobs.

    anh06005 replied to Maddiex13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have seen several nurses leave jobs during orientation. While I don't think it's very professional I can see the dilemma when you get an offer for an ideal position. Is there any way to push back...
