  1. Respectable salary for an Urgent Care?

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey everyone. So I am thinking about getting into an Urgent Care owned by a fairly large healthcare organization in my area. I am a new grad but a very strong candidate. What would be a respectable...

  2. Signs and symptoms to always be concerned about.

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Home Health

    I would like to compile a list of signs and symptoms you would ALWAYS report to the MD or send the patient to the ER for. Ill start with the obvious ones: Chest pain SOB Severe Nausea Acute onset of...

  3. Earning potential

    HumptyDumpty replied to JUSTanLPN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was hired as a new grad to an urgent care with a base of $95k and production bonus. Most of the midlevels at this practice easily clear $130k+ a year. The topper is we only work 12 days a month. If...

  4. AANP and ANCC Merger

    HumptyDumpty replied to annfaith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As our licensing exams should be. This is the reason why I took the AANP FNP exam. We are training to be clinicians right? I didn't want to fill my head with the mumbo jumbo the ANCC requires on their...

  5. Passed FNP AANP!

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Took it this morning and passed. I found the test to be rather uncomplicated. Most of the answers were very obvious. 80% of the test seemed to consist of answer choices where only one really made any...

  6. Passed FNP AANP!

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think I will get a partial refund, but they keep $160 unfortunately. I really didn't want to study that theory and research crap

  7. AANP website 92% Fitzgerald 75-80% am I ready?

    HumptyDumpty replied to laree22225's topic in Advanced Practice

    Good stuff,

  8. Who has both AANP and ANCC certifications? Should I?

    HumptyDumpty replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am taking my AANP this Saturday and the facility I got a job at doesn't even know or cares what the difference between them both are. If I am licensed through the state, that's all they care about....

  10. Adult-Gero exam and AANP

    HumptyDumpty replied to kevang22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ya, I heard of barkley saying not to use any practice exams. Eh, I sit next Saturday and other than reviewing some things, I am doing practice questions. I don't know what else to do. I am to the...

  11. AANP website 92% Fitzgerald 75-80% am I ready?

    HumptyDumpty replied to laree22225's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am sitting for mine on Saturday. I scored 80% on the AANP quiz and have done pretty horrible on a few of the fitzgerald quizzes. Its all relative and is totally dependent on which questions you get...

  12. AANP exam from AANP website-similar to actual exam?

    HumptyDumpty replied to ehumbert's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good stuff, I scored a 80% and thought the practice test was pretty easy... The ones I missed were those 50/50 ones, and I chose the wrong answer lol. I felt like it was pretty straight forward stuff...

  13. Passed Adult AANP Certification Exam

    HumptyDumpty replied to casias12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Awesome, thanks for that! I am taking mine in a couple weeks. Gone through fitzgerald and leik and mostly just going over it again. I took the AANP $50 practice test and scored a 80 on. Been scoring...

  14. Sick of the Certs!!!!! Just let 'em be an NP!

    HumptyDumpty replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I couldn't agree more with everything said. Its ridiculous the amount of complete BS entails NP training and licensing. No one cares about all those letters behind your name. It doesn't make you look...

  15. Family AANP certification exam role call!

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else out there will be taking the AANP in the next month or 2? I am hoping to sit for it at the end of May (graduate this Friday!). Been going through the fitzgerald...

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Advanced Practice

  18. Getting a job in the ER.

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Any NPs out there working in the ER? What kind of advice would you suggest for breaking into this speciality? I have some RN experience in the ER, not years worth but a decent amount to be comfortable...

  19. Has anyone went off and did their own clinical time?

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in my last semester, graduate in May. I have been busting out my hours so to speak. I really wanna work in the ER, so I want to do everything I possibly can to get

  20. Has anyone went off and did their own clinical time?

    HumptyDumpty posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just curious if anyone out there has done a few specialty hours in like the ED or ortho and just didn't count it towards their clinical hours? FNP programs obviously won't let you get your hours in...

  21. Getting a job in the ER.

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I hear ya, the ER I worked at as a RN isn't really hiring right now due to the saturation of the market in my area. So basically I have to go out and get a job at a ER without them really knowing

  22. Has anyone went off and did their own clinical time?

    HumptyDumpty replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well I have just shadowed mostly and practically did everything you mentioned for the most part, but I am mostly worried of getting in trouble. I have a feeling my program isn't gonna let me do a...

  23. You might want to avoid this recruiting company

    HumptyDumpty replied to nomadcrna's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    WOW, I guess I am unable to comprehend what I am reading. You know what, you need to get off your high horse. Who cares that you spent an extra year doing some capstone project to get your DNP....

  24. Do You Report?

    HumptyDumpty replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jeez man, you and me think

  25. NP..How do pts adress you?

    HumptyDumpty replied to blackvans1234's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP's should never introduce themselves as Dr.'s in the clinical setting, even if they have a DNP. I just say, "Hey, I am Mike a nurse practitioner. What brought you in today?" Most of the time they...
