Thanks for all the helpful advice! Im interested to know about people's experiences with EMR/EHR in the private practice arena. I will be my only employee, and most of my patients will be Medicare. So cost is important consider the low reimbursement.

I've recently been afforded an opportunity to start my own NP practice/business. I'm in Maryland and would love some info about starting one up and the legal stuff too. I'm obviously contacting the board of nursing and will be consulting with a lawyer, but just want some personal accounts and such. Thanks in advance.

This was really helpful. I take my boards (AANP) next week! And I too was psyching myself out a bit about not having ample study time. I have to agree with many things you've said. I however, went to the Fitzgerald review live in January before my last semester. I purchased the Leik book, and aside from typos, the book is rather helpful and concise. I am not a fan nor would I promote APEA. I purchased their QBank tests, and I am doing horribly on them. I do not feel their rationales are satisfactory, there are typos, and incomplete questions. overall it is a waste of money. I tried contacting the company and the owner contacted me nearly immediately on a Saturday afternoon of a holiday weekend, however, I have not heard anything since. I too did very well on the AANP Family practice exam. Thanks for the tip on the Adult-Gero! I'm going to stop with the practice tests at this point and focus on mastering pertinent information necessary in order to answer questions.

I graduate next May (2015) and I was wondering how long after graduation you normally sit for boards, and after you pass how long credentialing takes? Major life events after completing FNP school, just wondering how to plan them out: new job, new baby/pregnant/moving. Thanks!

I too have not heard a word, so glad i'm not the only one. I was getting stressed out!

I'm set to interview for peds heme/onc and NICU in March. Graduate in May. Any words of wisdom or info about the hospital would be great! Thanks

I'm moving to the DC area in May, and have 2 interviews set up for the NICU and peds heme/onc. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I am also going to relocate to the Baltimore/Washington DC area. I want to work in Baltimore and my boyfriend will be working in Washington DC. I would prefer to live in Baltimore. Any recommendations where a good location for us would be, considering his commute to Washington DC?

I am probably going to be moving to the Baltimore area next year in May 2010. I don't know anything about the hospitals there, could you fill me in on the good hospitals? I would so appreciate it. I love peds, but am up for anything.
