    What happened to the post masters certificates?

    LadyT618 replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's unusual to find that schools only want you to get another Master's. I experienced the opposite when looking into pursuing my NP education, with my existing MSN in Nursing Education. The school I...

    Additional Training? Certifications?

    LadyT618 replied to Kahalaukane's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I haven't graduated yet, but I'd recommend EKG (depending on who you'll be seeing the majority of the time). If you intend to work with mostly elderly, I'd throw in wound care certification as well...

    How to study for AANP

    LadyT618 replied to SoonToBeAPRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm nearing the end of my AGPCNP program, but if I were you, I wouldn't listen to people who say that the blueprint is inaccurate because their exam didn't have certain things on it. You may decide to...

    NP learning in a restrictive state

    LadyT618 replied to urbsinhorto's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In a nutshell, no. Any candidate sitting for the boards in any state will be taking the same board (within a certifying body) in another state. Preparation is not dependent on the autonomous practice...

    Age range Adult-Gerontology NP

    LadyT618 replied to Kay80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In every school's curriculum (in which I showed interest), their literature indicated age 13 and up. However, during a quick google search and review of the AANP cert website (the certifying body I am...

    NP specialty, what to choose?

    LadyT618 replied to soljhs's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How long have you been a registered nurse? Have you explored different fields? Being an RN is your opportunity to explore what you'd like to do for the long haul and perhaps help in deciding what area...

    NP or Nah professional question?

    LadyT618 replied to Jasil's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You asked, "Here is my question did you actually learn any true treatment/medicine in NP school? " and that's where my response was focused. I admit, I missed that last piece about not wanting to...

    NP or Nah professional question?

    LadyT618 replied to Jasil's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just my opinion and I can only speak for the program I'm in.....you do learn in NP school. How much you learn will depend on the school and how much you put into your own education. It does help to...

    University of South Alabama NP program

    LadyT618 replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You know you can start the process of setting up an agreement between the school and your hospital. Hopefully it'll be hashed out by the time Fall comes around. I had to do that for one primary care...

    OSU’s FNP School Waitlist?? Feel like a failure

    LadyT618 replied to Caroline0322's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Stop overthinking it! LOL. The way I look at it....technically, you got in, but there wasn't enough room. You were NOT rejected, you were waitlisted. I believe there is a big difference ? Breathe,...

    LadyT618 replied to crazyarin's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm curious...have you been a practicing FNP for the past 3 years in a state that doesn't require the exam? Or did you graduate 3 years ago and haven't been able to pass the exam

    LadyT618 replied to Mogol's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think chare was being mean at all. Perhaps you aren't searching for the right terms. I attended Walden's RN-to-MSN program for Nursing Education (I have a BS in Biotechnology) and am currently...

    Should I work in ICU before becoming an NP

    LadyT618 replied to alexamasan's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you were interested in AGACNP, then yes, ICU would be extremely helpful. But since you're interested in primary care, you're fine with

    Continued good outlook for NP job opportunities in Texas

    Interesting read. Houston's my neck of the woods. I pray that this equates to good news for me once I finish my AGPCNP program next

    Am I doing the right thing?

    LadyT618 replied to amalay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ohh, so it is a pediatric acute care NP program. Well, I suppose it is natural to feel overwhelmed, having no acute care experience as a registered nurse beforehand. Hopefully it will get better for...

    Am I doing the right thing?

    LadyT618 replied to amalay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ohhhhh, you've been bitten by the curiosity bug. There's nothing wring with that. I don't think it's weird. You've never worked as a RN so I think it's actually natural to wonder what goes on after...

    Am I doing the right thing?

    LadyT618 replied to amalay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are a primary care PNP working in primary care. Do you mean a clinic? Are you only seeing pediatric patients? What kind of "acute" cases are you encountering in this primary care setting? I'm...
