I have been in a specialty practice for 3 months. Love my job and we just recently moved to a new office. I now have my own office-which should help with organization. Until I get closer to having a full schedule-I won't have a nurse. I currently ...

Thanks. We are totally paperless. We are going to EPIC in September. I appreciate your suggestions...

My school only went to campus once..so pretty much all online. Tests were proctored. I agree with the above poster--it doesn't state anything on your certificate. You are only as good as your clinical experiences. Although I had to find my own pr...

I agree--I set aside 3 weeks..studied 5-7 hours off and on--between 3 kids and a dog that went missing! Fitz and Hollier will well prepare you. The Liek review questions were most like the exam. My score on Liek and Board scores was exactly the sa...

My advice is work part-time in the ER and do part-time DE program if that is your goal. In the ER-you see everything and there is some autonomy of ordering labs, etc. Your skills would be what they need to be as well. Just a thought....

BSN-those are fine together. Pharm was the only one I found really time consuming...I think you will do great with a prn schedule. They feed into each other-patho and assess.

I did the live review..BUT the audio CD's are invaluable..I listened on the way to clinicals for months. When you do Peds-she offers a Well Child and Sick Child CD. It condenses what you really need to know for each major topic. The live review wa...

Carachel-we seem to always respond on these family topics.... I agree-I was pregnant with my second child while in nursing school. I actually graduated and then laid off for a year to enjoy the baby. I made nursing work for my family schedule--I w...

ER and Radiology

My advise--and I wish someone would have told me: Get either Fitzgerald or Hollier CD's in the beginning. You are going to read a HUGE amount of material. These separate by body system the needed info. They are a life saver studying for boards. I...

I will tell you--from a MSN-FNP graduate...that our class have been quite dismayed with USA.

I am curious--as I take AANP in 2 weeks. Do they allow a piece of paper and pen? or write on/wipe off board. That is the one thing that helps when I get nervous--to write it out.

MiddleAgeNP....Ha--NO WE aren't ready YET! Hoping for 12/20.. Zerwach is a darn hard book. I do well on Fitz and Hollier, but that book hits my weak areas for sure.

I would encourage you to look back a couple of pages. Someone posted "My heart isn't in it anymore." There is a lot of good advice there. I am graduating in 3 weeks. Worked full time with full time school the first year. I have 3 children. I sti...

Just the online price--no out of state for online classes.and you don't add the online to the regular price..seems that I paid about 2200 a semester for 6 hours.

Hello, I am graduating in a few weeks from the FNP program--and Yes--needs much improvement. THE GOOD SIDE--everyone in the NNP program LOVE it. If you inbox me-I will give you the email of a girl in the program.

THe Combivent prevents bronchoconstriction-but is not a relief med..I agree--the prednisone burst is warranted.

Magnolia, If you are going FNP, Inbox me...I am grad. from there...It's been ROCKY at best...can give you some ideas. Julie--I would email the individual instructors that you have had...bet they will send you a syllabus.

We usually do two-three different weeks of summer camp, a week with each set of grandparents, take some vacation in the summer, and use a college age girl who can take them to movies, pool, etc. My youngest is 10 and this past summer was the first ...

At a recent Fitzgerald Board review course--the FNP's were by far the most marketable. The WHNP's around here can't find work. Fitz said that in the future--all specialties would be based around an FNP core--with specialty beyond that. I think tha...

Julie--send me your email to my inbox....We talked at length about the program..good luck with UMC. I bet Bev has the syllabi--didn't you talk to her? If she doesn't--I can prob. get them for you.

That is a good point. Our program goes strait through...Like the fall first semester is only offered once a year. If I had all the writing/theory courses out of the way before clinicals-it would have been much more manageable. Also-there are a lo...

Let me give the student view from a mom of 3--I graduate in a few weeks.... Wow-I admire your ability to home school. That is tough. Obviously you are worn out. As a mom of 3 --I know it is hard. I see nothing wrong with taking a year or two off...

This may be more info than you asked for, but.... I graduate from a FNP program in Dec. Here are my thoughts. Eventually the thought is that every NP program will be FNP based--with speciality coming out of that. Many students in our program did s...

Congrats to you!!!!! A new journey lies ahead....
