  1. Whats your favorite montra or saying?

    Jennifer0512 replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    Everything will be okay in the end, if it's not okay it's not the

  2. PNP Board Review Material

    Jennifer0512 replied to StudentAmie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I used both of those books you linked to as well as the question book that goes along with the orange book. Found all of them really helpful in passing the PNCB exam (passed in June--first

  3. Regis College Fall 2013 direct entry NP

    Jennifer0512 replied to steve21021's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Interviews are pretty laid back (2012 grad here). Be yourself, relax, and tell them why you want to be an NP and go to Regis! :) Good

  4. Pediatric NP students

    Jennifer0512 replied to phillycpnp-pc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's good you're separating next semester--it will definitely make things much clearer! We used Pediatric Physical Examination and Health Assessment by

  5. Pediatric NP students

    Jennifer0512 replied to phillycpnp-pc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I recently graduated/passed my boards for pediNP. No job yet so I can't tell you in "real life" if they encourage them or not, but in school we definitely did ROS for pedi patients (and we were...

  6. best anatomy and physiology aid?

    Jennifer0512 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was taking A&P I bought a toy skeleton from the halloween store--it actually had amazingly detailed bone anatomy. It was SO helpful to have that sort of 4D visual aid where I could actually...

  7. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

    Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Ah I see you were looking for the REAL schedule for the upcoming semester. They usually post it on Regis Access a few days before you are scheduled to register, so that you can plan out your schedule...

  8. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

    Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    It wasn't that long ago, but I can barely remember! I know you'll take two classes: psych and acute care (aka med/surg). Each of these has a clinical-- acute care clinicals is two days and psych is...

  9. PNP acute care exam-passed!

    Jennifer0512 replied to tryingtohaveitall's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    YAY!!!

  10. Bio/Chem degree vs nursing degree

    Jennifer0512 replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    I was a Biochem major in my undergrad degree and then went into a direct-entry program to get my BSN/MSN and I just finished with that. I think they are different kinds of "hard". I found the content...

  11. May grads, June test takers !

    Jennifer0512 replied to reeya's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations Reeya!! So happy that you passed--I was rooting for

  12. Tips for PNP certification exam?

    Jennifer0512 replied to tryingtohaveitall's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did both NAPNAP's online course and the PNCB prep course (which were practice exams that then gave you rationales for the right answer). I did primary care though, so just keep that in mind. I liked...

  13. Starting PNP program in Fall 2011!

    Jennifer0512 replied to StudentAmie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry I'm responding late--boards took priority (and I'm happy to report that I passed!!) danceluver: I actually have found the job market to be better than I expected (and I'm in MA). There's not a...

  14. May grads, June test takers !

    Jennifer0512 replied to reeya's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just wanted to update everyone that I passed the PNCB yesterday :) Good luck to all those who are still preparing to take it or any of the certifying

  15. Starting PNP program in Fall 2011!

    Jennifer0512 replied to StudentAmie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi hjnurse! I was a direct-entry student, and continued straight from getting my BSN to getting my MSN, so I guess I fall into the category of the "not much peds experience as an RN". I just graduated...

  16. May grads, June test takers !

    Jennifer0512 replied to reeya's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Reeya I feel the same way that if I fail I will be traumatized and devastated and it will be hard to pick myself back up. I'm sticking with my date of June 30th (there is a fee at this point to change...

  17. May grads, June test takers !

    Jennifer0512 replied to reeya's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congrats lynnaprn! Good for you for getting it done and out of the way!! Wish I had the guts! Few more weeks until the nerves are OVER! Good luck

  18. May grads, June test takers !

    Jennifer0512 replied to reeya's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm taking the PNCB (PNP-Primary Care), but I'm feeling the same way! June 30th is my test date and now that I've made the appointment I'm super nervous! I figure I'll feel nervous whatever day I take...

  19. To those who have taken Kaplan for NCLEX

    Jennifer0512 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It really depends on your study style. I took Kaplan and was glad I did because I was confident about the content, but have a lot of nerves surrounding test taking, so I wanted to know the test inside...

  20. How do nurses practice giving shots?

    Jennifer0512 replied to sakiohma's topic in General Students

    Fake skin and/or some sort of fruit (an orange maybe?! I'm blanking about what fruit it was) to practice in lab and then supervised by our instructors in clinical on patients. Definitely no practicing...

  21. ADHD

    Jennifer0512 replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will admit that I have not heard of that. I did a quick literature search and didn't come up with anything either. Not sure that I would have if I had done a more detailed one either. I wonder what...

  22. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

    Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    In the BSN portion I would say that Medical/Surgical (aka Med-Surg) and Complex Care were the most difficult for me. There's just SO MUCH to know, so there is a lot of info on the exams that you need...

  23. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

    Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    RoImDreaming--I totally forgot about the change of GRE format (I was one of the last to take the old system). Thanks for reminding me! And yes I'm in my last semester of the MSN section! I'm very...

  24. Regis College RN-BS-MSN Program

    Jennifer0512 replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yes. Unless it's changed this year the GRE is required. They strongly recommend that you break 1000 as a score to qualify, but as long as you break that minimum you're golden as far as GRE scores go....

  25. Best Nursing Shoes/Sneakers

    Jennifer0512 replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I LOOOOVVVEEEE Timberland Pro Renovos. They are sooo comfy and supportive. I could wear them all day and not have any pain. Similar to others, I had Dansko's, but they weren't for me. Some people...
