  1. I PASSED TOO!!!!

    Christen, ANP replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    that's wonderful!!

  2. Considering FNP or PNP, Lots of Questions!!

    Christen, ANP replied to ChristineN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    With your background, I don't think having a FNP rather than a PNP will keep you from having a job taking care of kids! And if you decide you want to take care of adults later on, you're set! But, as...

  3. New grad RN pursuing masters AND a job!

    Christen, ANP replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Since you are pretty set on going straight for your masters, I'd choose a path that will give you the most experience seeing the most "stuff" in the shortest amount of time. As in, generalize! I'd...

  4. NP age??

    Christen, ANP replied to kayakin08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll be 28 when I graduate next year. I plan on taking on a FT position for the first few years, then going PT cuz my hubby and I are thinking kids are in our

  5. Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

    Christen, ANP replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    I completely disagree that "nurses are not respected or well treated." This statement indicates that you are not in a good facility that recognizes the importance and value of nursing, not that it...

  6. Don't like kids...ANP best bet?

    Christen, ANP replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I pretty much feel the same way as you, I'm perfectly happy seeing only adults and no peds / OBGYN! I am going for my Adult NP. I do think that the FNP would make me a bit more marketable simply due...

  7. Policy on Tattoo's & Piercings

    Christen, ANP replied to kerric511's topic in General Nursing

    my facility does not allow for visible tattoos, and earrings in the more uncommon areas (such as the nose or eyebrow or lip), nor for extreme hair colors (i.e., pink, blue, etc). that being said,...

  9. Wages: RN vs. NP??

    Christen, ANP replied to shannonFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i might, but right now i'm leaning towards primary care, hospitalist, or critical care / pulmonary. i am more interested in the "medical" vs "surgical" -type of patient.

  10. Advanced Patho stress!

    Christen, ANP replied to buster4's topic in Post Graduate Students

    All I can say is hang in there! You've almost made it! Patho and Pharm both have staggaringly large amounts of information to "learn" in a short amount of time. Just take it one test at the time, and...

  11. Certification exams AANP vs. ANCC

    Christen, ANP replied to JACKMAC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for the

  12. Wages: RN vs. NP??

    Christen, ANP replied to shannonFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When I complete my master's degree, my expectations are that I will come out of school making what I currently make working every single weekend or more. Looking at the salaries around here, though,...

  14. Certification exams AANP vs. ANCC

    Christen, ANP replied to JACKMAC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for the information! How would you sign your name differently? Is there any reason why one certification would be better than the

  15. Passed the ANCC Family Nurse Practitioner exam!!

    Christen, ANP replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I keep hearing about these "margaret fitzgerald" study guides...where can I get these? what should I buy? I'll be taking an Adult NP test in 2010! :) Thanks for any

  16. advice needed asap!

    Christen, ANP replied to vehinka23's topic in General Nursing

    I am over half way through my MSN, and I agree that having a few years of nursing under your belt will aid you greatly in pursuing your advanced degree! Give it a year or two, get comfortable with...

  17. Master's Project / Thesis - What's Your Topic?

    Christen, ANP posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hallo all! I'm just curious as to what everyone is planning for their master's project/thesis? Are you going to do a project or a thesis? What's your topic? How far along are you? I am planning on...

  18. how did you decide to get your NP?

    Christen, ANP replied to picurn10's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm one of those people who "always knew I'd be a nurse!" I spent a week with a Nurse Practitioner my senior year of high school, loved her job, and decided that was what I wanted to do! So, I've...

  19. looking for some advice

    Christen, ANP replied to puma09's topic in Post Graduate Students

    At my school, all of the master's programs start with the same "core" classes, then move on to the specific classes for each individual degree. I agree with talking to the school you are thinking of...

    Christen, ANP replied to 2bnurse_it's topic in Post Graduate Students

    as above, start with lifestyle modifications, then add a diuretic (HCTZ 25mg QD), then add an ACEI or a beta blocker.

  21. Master's Project / Thesis - What's Your Topic?

    Christen, ANP replied to Christen, ANP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Very interesting ideas! What was the result of your paper? Is there any consistency across the board in dealing with English-as-a-second-language

  22. Advanced Pathophysiology

    Christen, ANP replied to psychVARN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I wish I was doing an online course - I learn best by reading the text, and driving an hour and a half both ways takes away from my reading time! And there's just so much content there is no way my...

  23. Probably some silly questions, but....

    Christen, ANP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a few questions that are probably silly, but I don't know the answers, so! After you graduate and take boards (are they called boards at this level), what do you have to do next? You get your...

  24. Probably some silly questions, but....

    Christen, ANP replied to Christen, ANP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ohhhh! There's so much more to being a NP than just patient care, isn't there? I wonder if we'll cover any of this in my ANP classes or if I just learn it as I
