1. What is the job market like for new NPs?

   UMAshtangi replied to tejon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I think it's really dependent upon what area you're in, AND how flexible you are. As I was studying for boards I heard Amelie Hollier (2012) saying that when she found her first job she was...

2. uab grads?

   UMAshtangi replied to littleone07's topic in Post Graduate Students

   I just graduated from the NP program (MSN) at UAB. It was hard, but doable. I thought that, overall, the instructors were helpful. Like most nursing schools things can get chaotic, but if you stay...

   UMAshtangi replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   @SCSTxRN: YOU are an example of the family we like to have around. Helpful, aware of your loved one's safety needs, etc. Unforunately, most family is, as aforementioned in a previous post, trying...

   UMAshtangi replied to Stockwell's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Is there any update on what the process for applying for a furnishing number is? The new law will go into effect on 1/1/13, and I haven't heard anything from the BRN, or seen any new...

5. APEA vs. Fitzgerald Review

   UMAshtangi replied to Abby.Harris's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I did two of the APEA "predictor exams." They say a score of 65-68 correlates with passing the board. I scored 76 and 80. But I seem to do really well on her quesitons, and less well on Fitz. I...

   Hi Mahaandai: So although the Fitz material is good, you think it's harder than the actual

7. APEA vs. Fitzgerald Review

   UMAshtangi replied to Abby.Harris's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Hey all: My AANP is on Wednesday, and I'm really really nervous. I'm doing the APEA audio CD review, plus her review questions book. I also did the Fitz audio CDs with review question book. It...

8. Preparing for the AANP exam

   UMAshtangi replied to Natural12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Do you feel the AANP questions looked more like APEA or Fitzgerald? To me, it seems that Fitzgerald has some pretty oddball questions that are deep in patho. APEA is more straight forward and to the...

   UMAshtangi replied to JenFlightRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   How did you do on the exam? I have the same preps as you plus Kellerman. No matter how much studying I do I can't seem to break 70-73%. I'm getting discouraged. My exam is in 3

    UMAshtangi replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're getting 90% then you'll own this test! My good thoughts are going your way! I'm hoping to schedule my AANP exam the last week of November or first week of December. I'm a bit nervous...

11. Contract aesthetic nurses

    UMAshtangi replied to injector1's topic in Aesthetics

12. Best online postmasters FNP certificate

    UMAshtangi replied to ipasgas1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would say that going to a good school is more important that the online/not online component. I'm doing the Adult NP program at UAB, and it's the #10 adult NP program in the country (Vanderbilt is...

13. UAB MSN- what is the workload like

    UMAshtangi replied to nursingsavedmylife's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Erin: You get some basic pointing in the right direction; however, when I spoke with a big-wig in the department before applying they made it sound like they had peeps all over the place, and would...

    Hello: I finished my (accelerated) BSN in May 2010, and started UAB's ANP program in August 2010. I have absolutely no regrets. Yes, when you hit the floor as a new nurse the amount of clinical...

15. Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

    UMAshtangi replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I had wanted to apply to the FNP program, and was advised to apply for Adult NP for the same out of state reason. I have no real desire to see peds/ob, but also didn't want to close that door. I'm...
