If you do buy a blender, I would've recommend the ninja. I bought the one with both the large blender and individual cups that are interchangeable. We love it and use it constantly.

And then if you are certified by PNCB it will be CPNP-AC or CPNP-PC.

Congratulations!

Also, you were given good advice on going to a program who arranges your clinicals for you. I would also recommend you talk to students currently in the program or recent grads if possible, to make certain that what you are told matches what really happens.

I agree that you should look into the schools' reputations with those doing the hiring as well as board pass rates. All programs are not created equal. I went to a public univ with a combo on-line/in-class classes. I did find that I enjoyed being in class for more and there tended to be less busy work.

So I am a PNP and yes of course my program spent more time in pediatrics than the FNP program. My top rate children's hospital as well as the other children's hospitals near me are requiring their FNPs and primary care PNPs to return to school for their acute care PNP post-masters' certificates. So to the OP, if peds is what you want and you aren't interested in working with adults, go for your PNP.

One more saying that this is verbal abuse and should not be tolerated. If you can afford it, quit ASAP.

You're welcome. Here's an entire old thread about them. https://allnurses.com/nursing-scrubs-uniforms/just-got-my-202989-page7.html

Pretty sure this is the one I have, it's been several years since I bought it. I have it engraved with my initials so I always know it's mine. http://www.amazon.com/3M-Littmann-Cardiology-Stethoscope-2160/dp/B000F4W1GW

I would leave out the part about being willing to relocate 10 hours. That would make me wonder if you'll move back home as soon as another opportunity presents self. Great letter!

I LOVE my Littman stethoscope. I pick up on murmurs that many others miss and I give a lot of credit to my L. Cardiology stethoscope. Best money I've spent!
