Oops, post-master's psych NP program?

Anyone in the Stony Brook NP certificate post-master's program?

I'm a house call NP for our VNA. I love it! I see patients with everything from CHF to psych issues. Would be happy to answer any questions!

Keri, I am a family nurse practitioner and am interested in hearing about the Stony Brook progam! Can you provide me with some information? Thanks so much!

Just discovered this faculty thread and want to thank Vicki and all of you for some excellent resources! I have my master's as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I have done ER for 19 years, psych the whole time--per diem, and hospice for many years. I pra...

I love using sims and find our LPN students do take them seriously. They are all quite nervous as we film them and go over their performance after the scenario. To me, simulation is a safe place for students to start to learn the art and science of n...

I had a student in the last stretch of clinical before he goes into a preceptored clinical. In the preceptored clinical, they are basically on their own and can ask questions to the preceptor. Graduation is in June. This student read an order for in...

Terry, stick with one review book. I used Fitzgerald. However, it's one of those tests that seem to have ridiculously worded questions and some very easy questions! I received a high score. I wish you all the best!

Congrats! I also took the AANP and passed on Thursday! Although I felt some of the questions were easy, it was still one of those ridiculous "let's see if you can figure out what the question is asking" kind of exams.I did not feel that it tested my ...

I passed! It actually was a lot easier than I thought and I felt way "over-prepared". I have often wondered why nursing exams have to play games rather than truly testing one's knowledge base. Just my humble musings.

Taking my boards tomorrow. Studied Fitz and Leik. Pray for me! You could just about tear me off the ceiling right now! Barb

I've done the FitzGerald live review, listened to the tapes, and read the Leik book. Any advice? I am taking the boards next month! Paid 99.00 to take 2 ANCC preview exams and got 3 wrong out of 200 questions. But, they seemed way too easy. I am sure...

I'm taking mine, soon. Maybe we can chat?

Thanks, girls! I am so nervous! Just read threads about folks who failed! Ugh!

I'll be taking the AANP exam next month. These threads scare me, too! Good luck!

Congratulations, Tonie! I am a recent FNP graduate. It is a very tough program, but you will love it! If I can be of any support, know I'm here! Barb

Don't worry! I did it with a 16 year old, working nights part-time, and managed to do the FNP program in 2 years. Make SURE you find a buddy for support and to share studying. I'm taking boards next month, so if I can be of support to any of you---I'...

I agree--research was worth learning, but the amount of papers we had to write was over the top! Time could have been spent on more pathophysiology. And, as far as theories, I agree with that being a waste of time, too.

Frontier is rated 14th in the nation in the top 50 FNP schools. I am just finishing and can tell you this is an excellent education. No hospital had any problem hiring a Frontier grad. It is a rigorous program and prepares you well. If you have any q...

Trust me, it's well worth it. I am about to start my clinicals. Frontier provides an excellent education, the professors are extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and really make you think through situations in creative and resourceful ways. This is n...

Yes, mine was totally online--a lot of work, but it was fun! I am now doing nursing research. Frontier's course is EXCELLENT!!!

I wish you all the best as you take this journey to Frontier! I will be done next March and can tell you this is a WONDERFUL program with superb professors, incredible support, and a truly superb education. I know FNP's who have graduated and they to...

Happy New Year! Actually, they do like to have men in the program! In my dorm, the room next to me had 2 guys who were really so much fun! I strongly encourage you to apply! I truly love this school. The experience so far has been phenomenal. Yes, it...

I wish all of you the best in your application to Frontier. I am in the midst of classes, so I don't come here that much. But, if any of you want to hear from me, just PM me and we can share e-mail addresses. I have to say, I LOVE Frontier. Yes, it's...

Colleenm....pm me anytime. I have nothing but rave reviews about my school! My advisor actually responded to an e-mail from me. It was a nothing e-mail. But, she took the time to let me know she is here for me. How many grad schools do that? This sch...
