Hi all, I am a new NP working in the primary care setting and have a patient who was recently transferred to me from another clinic. The patient has multiple comorbidities including but not limited to hypertension and psychiatric illness. The first t...

It's true that making an appointment when you are suffering with mental illness can be a huge undertaking. I didn't ask the patient what the reason for being late was on that particular day.

Thank you to everyone for your responses. I appreciate the advice and will definitely take it with me into practice (especially the recommendations to separate emotionally -that's a hard one). I feel better about the choice I made. I am very thankfu...

Hi everyone, I am a recently graduated NP. I started my first job about 3 months ago at a specialty and primary care outpatient clinic. There are only three providers at the clinic including myself, one of whom is not always at the clinic the days I ...

Does anyone out there have a lab interpretation book or other resource they really like?

Penguins10, wow thank you for all of the advice and encouragement! It means so much to me! I will definitely look into the resources you mentioned. THANK YOU!

Sadly we have no protocol book and I get no feedback from anyone. I really wish I had either one of those things or both. The physician who practices with us is so busy that it's really hard to sit down with him. When I do get the chance I feel very ...

Thanks, sauce! That is good advice.

Thanks, evolvingrn! That is great that you have those quick lab resources. I work with an undeserved population and lose a lot of patients to follow up. Sometimes I'm even unable to get labs on them because they refuse or want me to try to get record...

Thank you, orangepink. That is very true and very good advice.

Thank you so much for these suggestions. I appreciate it. I'm not going to say which program I attended but I will say that if I had the chance to do it again I would not go there. I feel they did not prepare us. Thank you for responding.

Hello! Could you tell me what the Q-bank is? I'm also looking for study materials and haven't heard of this. THANKS!

I like the variety of working both day and night shifts! We do self-scheduling at my job though and I can group my nights together so I'm not flip flopping back and forth between nights and days... More resources and things to see on days, but nights...

Hello all!! I recently joined the ranks of the 1,000's of nursing school grads who are completely freaking out about the NCLEX. I'm just wondering... for those of you who have taken and passed the exam, what were you scoring on practice tests prior ...

I only did one set of Kaplan questions which was a 180-question test on a CD that came with a review book I checked out from the library. I also did some Saunders questions but not that many (maybe 100 total). The resources I mainly used were ATI and...

I just wanted to share with you that... I PASSED THE NCLEX!!!!! I guess the scores I was getting were good enough :)

Hey y'all, I also have not received a phone interview. I applied closer to the deadline though... I wonder if that makes a difference. Good luck to all :redpinkhe

Thank you, pixiesmom! Anyone use Lippincott's, Pearson's or ATI? I haven't done any Saunders or Kaplan tests.

passredskins1, Thanks for your message, I appreciate it!! I hope I pass on the first try. caliotter3, I would never trust myself to take the test without practicing but more power to ya!!! thanks to you both!

Submitted my application this morning. Good luck to everyone!!!

missE, There are a few but I don't think any are currently accepting applications. UCSF opened one up a few months ago but I've heard they will not offer another one this year. Stanford also has a new grad program but I'm not sure when their next app...

I'm a little bummed because I applied in the first hour or so of the first day the application was open and never received an email or Talent Plus interview. I wonder if this means I won't hear from them...

I did not get confirmation email either. I am from CA but going to school on the east coast, graduating this May. Good luck to all!!

Hey, thanks a lot, veganurse. You seem like a really nice person and I wish you the best of luck in your career.

Hello all! Has anyone heard anything about future UCSF Residency program dates? I'm wondering if they are planning on doing another one this summer for those of us who will be graduating in a couple of months. I spoke to someone in HR a few weeks ag...
