  1. Liability Ins.

    Sheri FNP-C posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As a student I had coverage through NSO. The have made some changes in my state and now rates have increased 30% and the policy is "excess lines" which is apparently a bad thing. Anyway, after doing...

  2. Liability Ins.

    Sheri FNP-C replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My employer says they will reimburse once I start. I felt funny asking a Dr. that I barely know to pay for all this stuff before I even start, but did ask if she would reimburse me. I did end up...

  3. Don't like kids...ANP best bet?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I feel like a broken record here, but once again I have to vote FNP. I have just known so many NPs that completed a program only to find out they weren't qualified for a great job that they really...

  4. This is absolutely horrible!!!

    Sheri FNP-C replied to msmith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I feel exactly the same way...I am so ready to be "official". I graduated 5/22, mailed my application for certification to AANP 3/25ish and got my permission to test the end of June. Took the test...

  5. Just Wondering

    Sheri FNP-C replied to xos4eva's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with Elkpark. I hadn't responded earlier because I was trying to figure out a way to communicate my opinion without sounding rude or argumentative. Pathophysiology, pharmacology, physical...

  6. I PASSED TOO!!!!

    Sheri FNP-C posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you all for the encouragement. I took the AANP FNP Certification exam today and my preliminary score is PASSING! I pretty much memorized the Fitzgerald CDs and answered every single question in...

  7. Considering FNP or PNP, Lots of Questions!!

    Sheri FNP-C replied to ChristineN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do agree with going with your heart, but marketability is a big factor. I know of several PNPs that have or are going back to get a FNP post masters. I interviewed at a school district for a...

  8. I passed:)

    Sheri FNP-C replied to sally 1977's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats Sally!!!! I was just wondering yesterday if you had taken the exam yet. I am glad the Peds section didn't cause you too much trouble! Any advice for me other than continue to listen to these...

  9. Considering FNP or PNP, Lots of Questions!!

    Sheri FNP-C replied to ChristineN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The state you practice in determines the scope of practice for NPs. I don't know if ACPNPs can practice in primary care, but I have a feeling that it could vary state to state. In my state, PNPs are...

  10. going for FNP with no peds experience

    Sheri FNP-C replied to Amxixi29's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldn't worry abut it at all. When I began my FNP I had absolutely zero adult medicine experience. I had worked in maternal child and management only! It may have been marginally more difficult...

  13. job web sites for PNP

    Sheri FNP-C replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know this isn't what you asked, but I just found a great PNP job. I had heard about this one from a friend luckily since I rarely, if ever, see primary care PNP positions advertised. The Dr. that...

  14. OMG...AANP Certification Sample Questions are horrible

    Sheri FNP-C replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I sent my application at just about the last minute around March 25th. I got authorization to test June 24th (though they had not yet gotten my final transcript with degree conferred). Good luck to...

  15. OMG...AANP Certification Sample Questions are horrible

    Sheri FNP-C replied to Sheri FNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for all your encouragement/advice. I think the 2nd question is throwing me off the most right now. He appears to have HTN, not well controlled, but treatment with HCTZ has exacerbated a gout...

  16. Part time NPs?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to sargentrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I verbally accepted a position, but nothing in writing yet. I don't feel like it is a sure thing until the contract is signed! I am so glad I went back. It was so hard on myself and my family, but...

  17. Part time NPs?

    Sheri FNP-C replied to sargentrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was told over and over not to ever expect to find a part-time NP position. For that matter, I knew that NP jobs at all are sporifice in my area. I graduated in May, started applying for jobs in...

  18. Supplemental malpractice insurance

    Sheri FNP-C replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I found the best rates with Marsh Ins. for the same coverage as NSO it will be about $300 less per year. Before you buy additional coverage, get more details from your employer. My future employer...

  19. How profitable is it to hire an NP

    Sheri FNP-C replied to MissDoodaw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here are a couple links that I had bookmarked. They may be of some assistance to you. http://medicaleconomics.modernmedicine.com/memag/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=127171...

  20. Taking aanp FNP???

    Sheri FNP-C replied to sally 1977's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congratulations

  21. Taking aanp FNP???

    Sheri FNP-C replied to sally 1977's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I heard there is "a lot" of developmental questions. I take that to mean a few since there cannot possibly be too many questions on any one area considering peds is only one part of the exam. I just...

  22. Taking aanp FNP???

    Sheri FNP-C replied to sally 1977's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I haven't taken it yet. I am also studying using Fitzgerald's CDs. While I do agree that the peds portion of the CDs is relatively short, remember that childhood immunizations are covered in the...

  23. What's on your lab coat?

    Sheri FNP-C posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It seems like too much to have First Last, RNC MSN FNP. I thought of even just doing 1st line First Last and 2nd Line Nurse Practitioner. There are still people that aren't very familiar...

  24. Benefits Package

    Sheri FNP-C posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What do you think of this... Vacation-3 weeks after 1 year (none the first year) I am responsible for paying malpractice ins., licensing/certification fees, DEA#, membership fees, lab coats, etc....

  25. CCU RN applying to NP school thinking of going to ER

    Sheri FNP-C replied to gest1971's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with carachel2. I think it would be wonderful experience. I think a urgent care facility could also be great experience since you would get quite a few routine matters yet still get MIs and...
